New fans (like under 20) don't know!
You don't know the days we had Car Robots with Megatron not looking like anything. G2 with a wacky Megatron tank mode. Car Robots Optimus with his fake chest, Prowl not looking like Prowl whatsoever. Transformers Armada, Megatron looking like generic tank dude, Optimus without his chest and crap articulation. Armada Red Alert being, I don't know what. Ultra Magnus being red and having no personality. Thundercracker being Starscream reformatted (It was a great Starscream for the time). Energon... Energon Shockwave anybody? Fattimus Prime anybody? No Soundwave. Then Transformers Animated, completely different style. Classics 1.0 with the Gundam Optimus, Weird Megatron, no Soundwave, no Shockwave. Okay Seekers.
Since Combiner Wars it's been going up in quality and G1 designs soo much.
Anyway, I'm happy for all of this. House is too small.

As a fan who turned 20 about a week ago, I can confidently say I do know. I remember aaaaaalll of those things. I grew up with them, except G2.
Of course, I'm still incredibly excited for this new line, same as everyone; even as a kid who grew up with the Unicron Trilogy, I somehow managed to also grow up with G1 through a combination of the home releases of Season 1 and the Movie and looking at the toys online. I'm just saying, don't assume we "don't know".

Ravage looks a bit chunky, though, and I don't like that Laserbeak's head is just a featureless canopy. I'm hoping Reprolabels will some up with a sticker to put over the yellow "visor" to give Laserbeak proper eyes, and maybe a little something to make his beak yellow as well. I'm hoping we get at lest a Rumble and Frenzy pack along with Buzzsaw and Ratbat, though it makes me wonder if they will cut into more traditional Micromaster teams for the Decepticons.
Its probably Laserbeak's design on War For Cybertron/Fall Of Cybertron
More likely, both this toy and that design are based on the same thing: Laserbeak's pre-Earth design from G1:

Shockwave's alt mode is the Nemesis!

It just uses 5mm peg holes, so yes, you can use brunt to weaponize brunt

Now that '80 nostalgia and fandom pandering is in full-swing all we will ever see are the same gray tank Megatrons over and over again. While I understand characters need to be somewhat recognizable I wish we'd see a bit more variety in at least alt modes once in a while.
