I bought some KO G1 Cassettes way back before the reissues came out. Now that I have the reissues, I have plenty of extra Lazerbeak and Rumble molds, as well as a Ravage and Ratbat. I'd like to paint them into new characters, but I can't think of anything that would work. Any suggestions?

 

there were a number of different colored rumbles used as background fodder of the early g1 episodes.

 

Can you remember any specific episodes so I can go find them?

Shattered Glass versions of the characters
Laserbeak into BW Lazorbeak Lazorbeak - Transformers Wiki
If you have a Buzzsaw, repaint him in BW Buzzsaw colors Buzz Saw - Transformers Wiki

One idea I've been toying with is a remold of Rumble as Soundwave, as though Soundwave's cassette-player form is a Transtector.

 

Well, we already got Enemy with Encore Soundblaster, and I'm not a fan of SG. But the rest of those ideas I like.
