Some weeks ago I took some time and added some paint to my smallest Transformers ko combiners to look more like the G1 originals.

Devastator:

I used some purple and silver color for details, because the figures were all green.

Superion:

I used metal-gold color on Silverbolt to add some detail. The others were painted allready the right way.

Defensor:

Hot Spot was completely recolored into light blue (was completely red before). I also added some detailing colors on Blades and Groove

Bruticus:

I had to recolor each figure, because they were all in the wrong colors. Here's the result:

I'm currently working on a smallest version of Menasor. Because this remake came with 2 Technobots instead of Dead End and Wildrider, I have to do some additional work to create the missing figures.

I will also do a smallest version of Computron as well! I hope this will work, beacause working on such small figures isn't easy!!!

Nice job on all there. The colours on Bruticus look odd, though; Onslaught's green should be more of a teal, and Blast Off and Vortex could do with being darker, too.

Good luck on the Stunticons and Technobots. Do you have an extra set of Stunticons? If so, you could probably retool Breakdown into Dead End, since they have the same TF scheme. And you might even be able to convert Drag Strip into Wildrider, but that'll be a lot tougher.
Look forward to seeing how it works for you.

The colors are a bit darker in reality. My camera isn't the best....
I didn't have the colors before, so I had to buy about 6 or 7 different colors just to repaint them. In Germany colors aren't real cheap! So I'm quite satisfied with the result, as I had to mix a few colors.
I thought on buying a 2nd Stunticons set for Menasor, but I didn't. Making Drag Strip into one of the other 2 missing Stunticons would be too tough. I think I will make them out of some Micromasters. Size is almost the same.
Computron will be a real challenge!
But I will finally start doing these guys when I'm finished with my MP Ultra Magnus...
