Gnashteeth

Gnashteeth is a Predacon-allied Mini-Con from the Generation 1/Beast Wars continuity family.

Gnashteeth (ナッシュティース) is growly!

Toys

• 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.

Trivia

• 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 mech version", which also appears on Takaratomy's web-site. However, the actual toy-packaging labels the piece as a separate character from Gnashteeth.

• Gnashteeth's coloration is a pretty clear homage to Beast Wars Megatron's original purple t-rex body.

• The Micron Booster Ver.4 assortment uses the "classic" Japanese Transformers logo, ostensibly placing the characters within the Generation 1 continuity family. However, this set also gives Maximal and Predacon sigils to the beast-form Mini-Cons. It would appear then that these characters are from a "transitional" period from Generation 1 to the Beast Era... though chances are TakaraTomy didn't put even that much thought into it. Toys is toys.
