I would imagine he'd be scaled with the Allicon. They're pretty much the same size.
I thought the same.
I didn’t word it well in a previous post, but that’s why I was asking about a completely new mold for Gnaw...
Seems possible Gnaw could be a re-tool of the Allicon...
Especially since neither is very easy to repaint into a different character.

For the forearm covers, chest piece (I went with the slightly tinted option), front teeth pieces, and sword I'm already glad it's on its way and feel it's worth the price.
The screw hole covers are a little bonus, and I don't really care about the crown. At all.
In fact, I wish they would've used that plastic for other covers/hole pieces.
@ Nuclearxpotato
I think you asked if Grimlock's neck has transparent plastic. It does not. Which is interesting that they decided to put the plastic piece over the Autobot symbol... It's a nice little touch, but not necessary. Mnius the chest (and some of the greebling, I suppose), this is based on the screen appearance, not the toy appearance.
I am definitely hoping that Gnaw is his own, new mold... However, I wouldn't doubt or actually be too letdown if he ended up being a retool of the Allicon.
When uses of molds allow for new figures that are more commonly known (and most likely more popular) such as Snarl, Sludge, and Swoop - which are 100% new molds - I don't feel as cheated when something like a Sharkticon mold takes one for the team.
Either way, this guy is going to have to look fantastic for me to not cancel my preorder.
Especially since I've also queued-up 2 Sweeps.
Has there been any word, even rumor, about when we'll hear what's happening with this sub-line past this year?

As far as I could tell requirements for 'Studio Series' were that the characters appear in movies produced by a film studio. I don't think anything was said about them having to be non-animated. Bottom line, Hasbro saw an opportunity to make money and they took it, like a successful business should.

Sub lines tend to be packed in their own cases, like the Netflix and Buzzworthy Bumblebee stuff. Hence the weirdness. After all if they said that the 1986 movie counted under Studio Series purview, then surely they wouldn't have needed the 86 suffix at all and just included them in the normal numbering system. Of course we know that these were chucked over from WfC which is why they went that route. So yeah, I absolutely agree with your last statement, this way they got to have their cake and eat it (two anniversaries celebrated through one decision)

I can't imagine Studio Series 86 lasting for much longer past wave 2

I dont even get what wave 2 means.
The wave with Kup and Blurr was wave 11
https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... e/hse0701n
and it's already confirmed that at least 3 waves of voyager class toys feature the 86 characters (wave 11, 12 and TBD)

I'm beginning to think that Hasbro could have made everyone's life easier by just leaving off the "86" branding. Given the cgi Cybertron prequel being worked on, being an animated movie was never going to be a problem (heck, all the bots in all the movies are technically cartoons)

Has Hasbro actually referred to it as "Studio Series 86"? I think that more of an internal designation for individual figures. SS86 is just a part of normal Studio Series with Movie and G1 mixing more in future waves.

Sure. But the chances of them doing a SS86 Grapple, or Wheeljack, or any other figure we've seen in the recent lines is highly unlikely. Which is why I was a little surprised with Coronation SS. Sure, big scene in the movie. Another chance to make a little more $$$ from the ER seeker mold.
But I'm betting he's the one major exception.
I hope they continue gimmick-free, screen accurate G1 characters.
But I believe it will be in a different line, or Hastak is going to do something major like change "Studio Series 86" into "Studio Series G1".
"For collectors and fans who like the idea of MP's, but want a more affordable price point".
That gives them the wiggle room to do whatever pack-in/add-in they want for characters based on episodes, or just cartoon accurate appearances with no extras other than weapons, such as SS86 Jazz.
