Gnaw

Gnaw is a loyal Autobot Dinobot warrior created to be a partner for Optimus Prime. True to the Construct-Bots ethos, Gnaw can be assembled into his powerful Spinosaurus form or a robot mode. He primarily functions as a force multiplier for the Autobot leader, lending his strength in battle by converting into formidable armor and weaponry.

Gnaw was released in May 2014 as part of a two-pack with Optimus Prime in the 'Dinobot Warriors' sub-line of Construct-Bots. This assortment was timed to coincide with the general theme of the movie Transformers: Age of Extinction.

• Build-and-play construction system with a reusable parts tray
• Can be assembled as a standalone Spinosaurus figure
• Converts into armor and a weapon for the included Optimus Prime figure

• Spinosaurus
• Robots
• General — Combined Mode: Optimus with Gnaw as body armor and weapon

The Construct-Bots line was aimed at a younger audience and did not resonate strongly with adult collectors, making most figures, including this set, relatively common and inexpensive on the secondary market. It primarily appeals to line completionists or those nostalgic for the building-toy gimmick. Its value retention is generally low.

Similar to other figures in the Construct-Bots line, the ball joints may be loose or wear out easily, leading to difficulty in holding poses. The connection points for the armor mode can also be insecure.
