Gnaw (G1)
- Gnaw is a ??? (see note below ) in the Generation 1 continuity family.
A voracious and fearless robot. Though he originated as just another Sharkticon, Gnaw seems to be loyal only to the one who fed him last, be they Quintesson, Decepticon, or even Autobot. He has a voracious appetite. In recent times he's befriended the young Autobot Wheelie and "seems" fairly loyal and devoted to the boy.
(Note: Fictionally Gnaw is a Sharkticon. His toy was sold in the US as a Decepticon. The Japanese line considered him an "Animatron" (ie. a Predacon), and in his only fictional appearence thus far he was a staunch Autobot and best friend to Wheelie. For someone with an intelligence of "3" he's a bit complicated.)
Fiction
Dreamwave Comics continuity.
During the Great Shutdown, the Quintessons sent swarms of Sharkticons to Cybertron for an unknown purpose. Some of them encountered the revived Shockwave and Scourge, Unicron's chief agent. Gnaw was damaged, presumably in battle with these two, and was abandoned on Cybertron when the other Sharkticons were called home. Following the great revival, an amnesiac Gnaw came across the young Autobot named Wheelie, and the two formed a strong bond. Gnaw later followed Wheelie in joining the resistance movement alongside Hot Rod and Kup. He saved Optimus Prime from the Battlechargers in his own...unique style (Tastes great! Less filling!). Gnaw was last seen working with Wheelie under Ultra Magnus's command on Cybertron.
