Via TonTon Review on Youtube, we have new in-hand images of the recently revealed Transformers Studio Series 86 Gnaw.
Gnaw is a highly anticipated modernization of the Sharkticon troops for the Deluxe class size. Gnaw features a nice movie/cartoon-accurate design in both modes as well as a very interesting transformation. We are sure your optics will be really pleased with this release which would be a great G1 army builder for your collection.

Here's the piece that I was talking about. I know someone posted pictures on the boards but I can't seem to find them right now.

Exactly

Ooood, I get you. You should definitely NOT remove the arms and superglue them onto a different part of the toy.
MacrossA
Oh k. I'm sorry you misunderstood my issue.
My issue wasn't a loose shoulder, it is its position in shark mode.

Who's destroying anything? Apply a thin layer of super glue to the contact surfaces inside the shoulder. Allow to dry – the bottle claims 1 hour, but I do 24 hours just for safety. Reattach arm. If still lose, apply more glue. If too tight, use sandpaper on glued areas. Go slow with the sanding so you don't take off too much.
What part of that sounds like destruction of the toy? I'm fixing an issue.
MacrossA
I don't like to destroy my figures
Neko-bot77
Why do you need add-on parts? Just pop the arms off at the shoulder and apply some super glue
MacrossA
Are there any pictures?
TranslucentBag
How do you mean? I know someone did 3D printed clips to move the legs forward but you have to push the mushroom pegs out and reattach them.
MacrossA
Has anyone done a custom fix for his robot shoulders/shark hips?

I found a couple of these at Big Lots of all places last night. My Target preorder had been canceled, and my Pulse preorder hasn't shipped yet, so I took the Sharkticon in-hand approach.

Love this little guy! I think being an affordable retail figure that I can cheaply and easily troopbuild (see also Quint Judge) has something to do with it.
Rodimus Prime
Just imagine that it's the tongue. Why would it have a tongue? To help force things back further into the throat.

Is any 3P going to make a cover that would hide Gnaw's head when in alt mode? (Possibly going over the lower jaw)
I really like the figure. Only thing that bugs me is when you open his mouth in alt mode us that you can see his head.
megatronski
Not sure if this is the first US sighting, but I just found him at a Wal-Mart in Houston, Texas.
all are dead
Keep checking if youre interested. They had a big batch yesterday too, that I missed.
