Question on kitbashes

Hey guys, i'm going to recently try to kitbash some transformers to create my Heavy Metal War team.

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/team_view.php?id=6525

This is what I was thinking:

Bloodlust - Armada Thundercracker or Starscream repainted in black/red color scheme with different head.
Ground Pounder - Either a G1 Brawl or a 2007 Brawl repainted in a bright yellow with added weaponry
Vehemence - Either a Blast Off or Astrotrain with a different head repainted a dark blue
Backstabber - some seeker, not decided yet
Panzerfaust - Galvatron body, new head, more weapons painted haze grey
Anaphylactic Shock - Some form of ratchet with new head and different weaponry painted green with red crosses
Dark Curse - another seeker - unknown body type, painted haze grey with lots of scars
Phantasm - another seeker, painted light green
Evisceration - Repainted Soundwave with some minor weapon adjustments
Crazy Eyes - ughhh somekind of weapon, perhaps shockwave?
Tetracycline - Energon strongarm repainted white
Sienar - TIE Interceptor transformer with some modifications

The ones with the unknowns are really fly by wire.

It's an ambitious schedule and may take me a little bit depending on funds and wife permission.

Any ideas or tips would be great (especially on swappping heads/adding weapons).

PS I've never kitbashed before so really any hints would be great!!!

This one just popped into my head as I was reading, but why red crosses?

Yes, I realise he's a medic, but he's a Decepticon, give it an evil twist.

A Decepticon medic named after peanut allergies...for some reason, that makes me smile.

Deception :P

I'm going to mod his bio a little for V2, having him pose as an Autobot "medic" with disasetrous results for the "patient"
