Description:
Gnaw (Deluxe Class, 2021)
Movie: The Transformers: The Movie
Hasbro ID number: 86-08
TakaraTomy ID number: SS-70
TakaraTomy release date: November 27, 2021
Accessories: Tail mace, fin sword, blaster, "Mockery of Justice” backdrop.
Released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie, Studio Series Gnaw is a mostly accurate to the Sharkticons’ general appearance in the original cartoon, though he has circular dents where the antennae should be. His tail-mace has a single swivel-joint at the base to give it a bit of articulation. His robot-mode blaster can attach to his beast mode’s left side. Sadly, the gun barrel’s end is not compatible with blast effects. His dorsal fin is attached by a simple 5 mm post, and can be removed and held as a knife, though Gnaw’s cuffs cause some minor clearance issues.Gnaw’s backpack comes detached in the packaging, and Gnaw himself is set quite high in the box, with his head often humorously looking down into his chest.Gnaw has the honor of being both the first Quintesson-aligned character released in Studio Series and the first toy of the character to not be labeled as a Decepticon. While this is a quintessential army-builder, designer Evan Brooks has stated that the figure is named Gnaw in reference to the original toy during its May 21 Fan First Friday reveal.As with other Studio Series toys, the interior of the package forms a diorama display for the figure. In this case, it is the Dinobots’ famous "self-invited” entrance at Hot Rod and Kup’s execution.
Studio Series Gnaw having a blaster accessory is unusual for the scrupulously cartoon-accurate Studio Series ’86, since none of the Sharkticons in the Generation 1 cartoon ever carried firearms.This was acknowledged by Evan Brooks during the figure’s Fan First Friday reveal, who stated that the blaster was included out of necessity to reference the original Generation 1 Gnaw toy.
