Title:
Gnaw
Description:
Gnaw (Decepticon, 1986)
Accessories: Tail, ”Maceration Laser”
Gnaw transforms into a rotund, squat-limbed, shark-like monster with chromed chompers. His beast mode tail becomes a mace weapon for robot mode and is also the most frequently missing piece from many Gnaws on the secondary market.There is a minor production variation in the beast mode legs/robot arms; some have two screws holding the light-gray calf/forearms together, while other have three screws. Exciting, we know. Some releases of Gnaw also came with one of four pieces to a The Transformers: The Movie poster with glow-in-the-dark elements, advertising the Decipher the Decepticon contest.Though the toy is labeled as ”Gnaw”, much like the Cybertron Scrapmetal toy, it can be considered either the individual character or one of the countless others of its type. Because of its fictional appearance as mass armies, it is one of the few original-line army builder toys, though it is notably costly to use it for that purpose.In Japan, Gnaw was not available as part of the normal retail assortment, despite its semi-prominent fictional appearance. At first, it was a promotional item as part of a Beastformers giveaway. It was later made available in limited quantities, seemingly in U.S. packaging, as a mail-away during 1988’s Super-God Masterforce series.
