    I need several dozen more of this guy (or at least two more. Three seems like a good number for display).

    Gnaw is a pretty nice update of the G1 character, but how exactly is it a Titans Return figure? There are no pegs or any other way for a Titan Master to ride him, no cockpit/cabin like Wheelie and Bumblebee. The only way Gnaw can interact with a TM is to eat it.

    He just seems the odd man out in a line which has managed to utilize its core theme so well.

    Well, arguably Kickback's interaction with Titan Masters is not much better.

    A bunch of stuff in Combiner Wars didn't combine...at least Gnaw has the foot pegs in his mouth. You can peg in and sit a Titan Master and the mouth can close. G1 Skullcruncher had a similar "cockpit."

    Not much better?? He EATS the Titan Master! That's a GREAT interaction!! I love the idea that there are some Decepticons who's main job is STEALING away Titan Masters for the Decepticon army. IN THEIR FISH MOUTHS

    Gnaw is honestly my favorite Legends figure in years. I have one in hand and two more on the way, he's that good. He could have no robot mode and it wouldn't bother me because his monster mode is so damn cute.

    One halfway decent gimmick doesn't make up for an otherwise lackluster figure.

    I really like this guy. I'm a longtime Doctor Who fan and there's a lot about this little murder-potato that reminds me pleasantly of the Sontarans.

    Picked this little fella up and I really like the figure! My only (minor) complaint is the lack of antennas. Highly recommend especially for G1 fans!

    I think I'm addicted to this little guy. I really dig his alternate mode so much that I grabbed another one...I really feel like army building the little buggers!

    The reprolabels for this guy go A LONG WAY to fix this figure.

    I'm still not a huge fan of the mold/figure but it went from hated to average.

    Not a bad little figure, things clip and hold well, I'm happy the head halves do 'detent' into their respective positions for robot and beast mode. If you want a bit more height to gnaw he can also use his beast heads as tippy toes, stabilizing with the beast arms.

    Gnaw to my mind actually looks decent quality. Everything appears vibrant, there are some really sharp looking details on his body that the plastic shows well. I totally like the head sculpt.

    The fact that a headmaster can attach and ride in the mouth is icing on the cake.
