The only one of the seven I can't fit onto my Classics shelf seems to be Divebomb with his glorious rotten banana deco.

We think alike as I do the same thing, except for Grindcore. About Divebomb, his bio has very subtle references to everyone's favourite Seeker Clone: Sunstorm. The pattern is actually based on that of a real life plane, like Classics Starscream, in this case it's the Russian SU-37 Terminator.

The Power Core Combiners are an odd lot in my collection (it doesn't help I've broken Skyburst, Darkstream, Sledge and Leadfoot), but I've done some repurposing here and there:

Huffer as... well, G1 Huffer.
Salvage as G1 Mudslinger
Stakeout as G1 Hot Spot

Crankcase as G1 Motormaster
Over-Run as G1 Drag Strip
Windburn as Gobots Twin Spin

I also have 2007 Mudflap as Erector, though I need to get an Autobot symbol to cover his Decepticon one.

If Stakeout had better drones, I would've picked him up, though I think he makes more sense as First Aid. Especially since there are some other Hot Spots available for the Classics line.
