Revision as of 03:20, 14 August 2015
- Gnashteeth is a Predacon-allied Mini-Con from the Fire in the Dark portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Gnashteeth (ナッシュティース Nasshutīsu) is the God of Destruction of the Predacons (presumably just the ones in his Micron Booster set). His motto is, "There is nothing that cannot be destroyed with my two arms!"
One imagines he means his robot mode arms, though the idea of a robotic Tyrannosaurus who uses his tiny flailing forelimbs as his primary weapon is compelling.
He later takes the name Chromebite (クロムバイト Kuromubaito) and changed his motto to "The light of honor heralds shining destruction!".
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
In universal stream Aurex 1104.30-JH Zeta, Gnashteeth was one of the Mini-Cons gathered by Megatron's Predacons during the Beast Wars on prehistoric Earth. After a Super Energon transwarp explosion, Gnashteeth received a Transmetal upgrade and changed his name to Chromebite. Ask Vector Prime
Toys
Generation 1
- Gnashteeth (Micron Booster, 2007)
- Booster ID number: 5
- Gnashteeth is a redeco of the Classics Mini-Con Terrorsaur, transforming into a robotic T. rex. He was only available in the fifth "Micron Booster" assortment in Japan, where each figure came in its own blind-packed, individual box.
- This mold was also used to make Chromebite, Universe 2008 Ransack, and Dark of the Moon Dualor.
- Chromebite (Micron Booster, 2007)
- Booster ID number: 11
- Chromebite is a chromed redeco of Classics Terrorsaur. He was only available in the fifth "Micron Booster" assortment in Japan, where each figure came in its own blind-packed, individual box. Chromebite was one of two "chase" figures in the set; each case of twelve Mini-Cons contained one of either Chromebite or Detectus, but never both.
Notes
- The kana for his name may also be Romanized as "Gnashties", rhyming with "nasties". Ah, Japanglish puns.
- Speaking of names, the original solicitations for Micron Booster Ver.4 labeled chase-piece Chromebite as "Gnashteeth chromed version", which also appears on Takaratomy's web-site. However, the actual toy-packaging labels the piece as a separate character from Gnashteeth. In 2015, the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime would declare "Chromebite" to be an upgraded form of Gnashteeth.
- Gnashteeth's coloration is a pretty clear homage to Beast Wars Megatron's original purple t-rex body. Meanwhile, his dark purple chrome and metallic bronze coloration as Chromebite is a likely homage to Beast Wars Megatron's Transmetal T. rex body.
