• Movie: The Transformers: The Movie
• Hasbro ID number: 86-08
• TakaraTomy ID number: SS-70

• Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Shogo Hasui (TakaraTomy)
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 (hahaha) 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.[1]
A lot of Gnaw’s details appear to be heavily inspired by an older Marvel Productions model of the Sharkticon, which in turn, is one of two refinded variants of line art based on Floro Dery’s original designs. The final model by Toei actually mirrors the Allicon models (also designed by Toei artists), in that they share the same poses, but aside from those differences the base details remain mostly the same.[2][3] Additionally, the heads, shoulders and paint applications ressemble more of the final Toei models, therefore, making Gnaw a combination of both designs.
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.
