Its kinda like marvel legends where they shortpack the most popular character in The wave.

But I think Ravage is shelfwarming because that toy doesnt look good or appealing (especially packed in his plane mode) rather than because he isnt popular.

Or people are wising up to the whole redeco idea: on first sight, the real difference between Ravage and SteeljawStripes is the orange vs. grey. Much like how Rewind and FrenzyRumble have grey vs. red. Recoloring the stock image for the toys doesn't help.

Haha, yeah I noticed that on the back of Rumble's packaging it was just a recolored Rewind. Is that the same with Ravage?

Wait, seriously? I knew they done that with Stripes - which worried a lot of people at first - but I've never seen it with Rewind as Rumble. Got pics?

Although then again, no matter how crappy an optimus toy is, they do get sold (but that's Optimus).

He isn't shelf warming because it hasn't been a year yet. Maybe call it slow moving inventory.

Well the Ravage wave have hit our area yet, but that tabby cat sure isn't selling well.

Ramhorn has been confirmed to be a titan master. He's not the only casette to become a titan master with that happening to Overkill as well.

You know how they've been renaming some of the titan masters? Like Swoop as Ptero?

What if the rumoured 'predaking' is a redecoed Sawback as Razorclaw?

If Sawback's body design is similar to Razorclaw's, consider it very very likely. And a big big disappointment.

Is anything in this line not themed after G1?

Not from what I can see, every figure so far has a basis in G1 in some shape or form. The most "non-G1" the line has gotten is with Diac who's based on a Diaclone pilot, and Daburu who's based on Pirate Lion, a Battle Beast, even then both were integrated into Transformers.
