Conversions don't have to be drastic to be effective. Small changes can make a figure more exactly what you need. Often a new arm, weapon, or headgear will make a big difference in the look of a figure and make it uniquely your own.
'National' types can be indicated with Aussie hats, berets, tam-o'-shanters, etc. Use them to make National Rebels or Elite Troops.
Dictator Jr.
I wanted my Tinpot Dicator to have a son. Short hair and a pistol-wielding arm from the Command Pack makes him look rather aggressive and Teutonic. He does resemble his father.
Base figure 0053 |  |
 | Scavenger This fellow is using a scanner to find a lost underground warehouse. Base figure 0041 |
SWAT Commander A pair of Command arms makes him more a part of the action. He'd also do as a commander for a Druglord's guard or for other Mercs. Base figure 0018 |  |
 | Terrorist A new pair of SMG-laden Command arms makes her ready to kick some butt. Base figure 0034 |
Bikers There are Bikers, and then there are Rebel Bikers. A kepi is a simple addition to show their rebel status. The brim is flattened lead and the body is Milliput. Base figure 0069 |  |
 | The fellow on the right has added a snappy raccoon tail to his hat. Yee Ha!
Base figure 0077 Base figure 0067 |

 | Savages The giant mohawks make these 'futuristic' types rather dated, trapping them in the 1980's. Removing them updates the figures and makes them more threatening and less silly.

Bandido A Southern twist on the Scavenger theme. Base figure 0046 |  |
 | Scots Rebel Aye, he'll be spoiling for a fight the noo. Base figure 0078 |
The Girl Next Door A light summer dress and small clutch bag gives her a breezy, girl-about-town look, Where does she keep that huge pistol? Base figure 0034 |  |
 | Medic Welcome support for your troopers. Base figure 0434 |
Garrison Troopers For some reason, garrison caps seem to say 'second-rate troops' They'll do as garrison troops, militia, third-world or mercenary troops, security or paramilitary types, etc.
A very useful type, all told.
