Silverbolt isn't just a wolf with wings, his front legs are eagle legs and he also has an eagle's tail, not a wolf tail. Quickstrike was also a fairly well executed Fuzor toy, yet I know not of any mythological creatures which has the body of a scorpion and a cobra for a tail. It seems that Hasbro chose the two best Fuzor toys for the show; the others aren't as well designed IMO; that's not to say that they're all bad... I'm rather fond of Air Hammer.
I agree that Fuzors would have been better if they were mythological beasts. While Silverbolt has little bit of griffin in him, he's a wolf not a lion, Flamefeather is a better Griffin. A modern mythical beast line would rock, all we ge these days are Dragons, A transformer basilisk, cockatrice, or manticore would rock.

I do kinda like Torca though, (but he is out of scale).

I agree somewhat, at least ravage has front paws, much better than Rumble or mr no hands. The guy doesn't even have any elbows, he needs a helper monkeybot just to feed him energon.

I see it more of a Macross toy, but that's just me.
