Video review of Studio Series 86-08 Sharkticon Gnaw

Seeing this review I'm completely sold.
The issues of bot color being seen in the beast mode don't bother me as much as I thought it would.
The legs are just a continuation of the color that's around his beast mouth, which helps some.
The blue isn't ideal, but because it's not some random color and is the same blue seen in other areas, I think it's okay.
Seeing the back of the bot head inside the beast mouth is by no means ideal, but it doesn't stand out to me as badly as it could.

This will be the one figure in all of my collection that is displayed in alt mode.
And while I think the bot mode is good (although the eyes are bit big), the beast mode is display-worthy.
I initially thought the legs looked a little goofy, but now, I'm good with those.
Other positives about the beast mode for me:

The eyes, teeth and "face" details look great.
The colors are pretty spot on.
Overall the shape is awesome. Where I thought previous versions looked a little too spherical, this guy has more of an oblong, egg-ish form that I think looks really good.
From what I could see, the molded detail on the back (in the dark gray area) were really nicely done. And the gray area does taper some before getting to the tail, which I appreciate.

Now I'm relatively excited for this figure, and I'll be getting 3 for sure.

*sidenote
This review also helped me realize that I didn't really miss out by not getting the Allicon.
Imo that beast mode isn't display worthy.

This just in, YouTuber TonTon Review already have the video review of the highly anticipated Studio Series '86 Gnaw!

How did I know he was going to pronounce it "Guh-Nah" .

Just don't troop build.
Still, if you already have a few Gnaws already, get one SS86 as the "captain" of the troops you already have.
That's what I'll do.

This guy looks good, but definitely doesn't fill a need for my collection. I am more than happy with my Pit of Judgement, plus a Titans Return Gnaw I already had, plus an Alicon I was able to subsequently track down.

When Wreck-Gar is dancing with Hot Rod in the movie, they are the same size. This figure is a bit too big. It's bigger than Springer too.

But that won't stop me from getting him.

Hes definitely pretty large and in charge but eh I don't mind either. I kind of like it, makes him more intimidating

Perhaps Hot Rod is the small one lol

I already have Sharkticon Megatron as part of my Quintesson army. There's no need to be limited by G1, after all.

Aside from the Netflix Ironhide recolors, there's also the older Botcon Sharkticons you could get if you wanted to just add more forces to your army.

Tonton also put up a review of Wreck Gar that has some different comparisons for anyone interested

Wreck-Gar and Springer were pretty even in height when they dueled each other in the movie.

3 stolen Wreck-Gar review in one day ( Kremzeek, Tonton, now Chefatron) that's got to be a new record
