So I'm sure there've been a good few threads on this before - which Movie figures fit in with Classics, etc, hopefully my question here is a bit different.
The likes of Bludgeon, Seaspray, etc quite obviously could represent those characters in a Classics collection, but assuming you don't have a Movie collection, what about the other toys that you like the look of from the Movie lines?
For instance in the new HFTD line, Highbrow and Terradive look pretty good. They even look like they belong more in a Classics collection, but how will you fit them into your Classics-verse?
With those particular toys I'm planning to use Highbrow as 'Crossblades' (a g1 mega pretender ala Thunderwing), and Terradive (I plan to get a couple) as minions of Takara Unicron (I hope the different shades of orange don't look too offensive together!).
How about you?

Terradive, Bludgeon, Mindwipe, Axor and the such are all in my Minions of Unicron section, I think of them as "changed" by being under his influence, hence the skeletal look about them.
Check out my sales thread, plenty of Generations, and Reveal the Shield figures for sale!!

If I had to come up with a reason it'd be because the Transformers adapted not just to our technology but our biology. To be better accepted the Autobots made themselves look more human while the Decepticons upgraded by the Ark had no choice as Teletran followed Autobot protocol. The ones with the more skeletal look simply did not make themselves look more human.

I use them as Go-bots where I can. I think Go-bots should have a slightly different look to them and the mech-y designs of the Movie lines seem to work for that pretty well.

You're making Go-Bots look MORE advanced than Transformers?!?!?!?
If anythng, I'd use Legends as Go-Bots (MiniCons are Micromasters to me), with the specifically re-done G1 Minibot figures as those Minibots...

Breacher and the upcoming scout Windcharger are clearly Classics-designed.
