      Jazz: C'mon man, they mentioned how you and Spiderman rescued Sparkplug and beat up a few Decepticons along the way including Soundwave!
      Gears: Oh alright, I suppose they DID give me SOME respect..... I admit that I actually enjoyed working with Spiderman, he was a worthy battle partner and he saved Sparkplug's life.

    At first, I didn't know who Gears was. But after hearing more about him; his Mysterians beginnings, a grumpy personality, air compress feet, him teaming up with Spider-Man in the Marvel comics, and his G1 cartoon portrayal.... He really is a unappreciated character. So I really hope that Hasbro doesn't back down and gives us Gears in Kingdom. So he won't be a background character in that Kingdom poster, like in later issues of the Dreamwave comics. Probably be a deluxe class figure with Warpath and Huffer. Hopefully Swerve could follow as a Generations Selects figure.
    -Also it's interesting how his spotlight episode, with that Solar Needle draining power of the sun, is similar to the ROTF Star Harvester machine. Pretty cool.

    The dialogue between Gears and Bluestreak in that Dreamwave mini was well-written and once again shows us how lamented DW's TF is. It also showed us lost opportunities on how those Bots could have been turned into a bickering duo a la Laurel and Hardy: one flighty and always joking, the other serious and always complaining. As Bluestreak HIMSELF wrote Gears' MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE bio, I consider them to be best friends.
    Also, the "Changing Gears" episode was so unexpected at the time! A 22-minute spotlight on sour ball-bot?? I wish Prowl, Jazz, and some of the other original TFs had gotten focused episodes before the cast had gotten too crowded. But hey, good for Gears! He may be forgotten now, but he can't complain about his star turn on the show!
    Oh, wait, yes, he can. 😉

    @8:20 that Ratchet flying dragon kick, Wheeljack Dragon uppercut (Tekken-Mishima version), and Optimus Brogue / Undertaker & Kane Kick sequence was SUPERB! 🤣
    Great vid, Rodimus. Gears was my first Transformer so I appreciate this.

    Great video on an under used character from G1 in my opinion. The few times we do see him actually fighting he did kick some butt....probably why he was on the team in the 1st place!! Too bad if its true his toy was cancelled for KINGDOM but I am hoping for a recolor/retool and we get Gears in the new show/toy line!!

    Good to see Gears getting some appreciation. As I've gotten older I've found that I appreciate the nature of Gears, as it counterbalances some of the over optimistic tone of the other Autobots.

    Gears deserves another chance in the spotlight he just grumpy to the Decepticon to never leave him and Autobots. We all know he always have a fight with his team about things but when he see his friends are in danger he will come back and safe the day. Not going to lie the another Autobot are afraid of Gears's nice side even Ironhide also got a Spark attack seeing him nice all the time in the Ark. Thanks for the video Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too.

    I am going to complain like Gears, that we need Gears! Come on Hasbro! If it was a budget thing, no one asked for those fossilizers. We want to complete our 1984 bots with the better, newer versions. That last Gears is just Swerve in disguise and is an abomination! I hope the rumor is false. It is an insult not to have Gears! Also, I will speak up for Skids too. We need a new Gears and a new Skids!

    Imagine if there was a g1 style Transformers cartoon adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol' (perhaps as a one-off special), incidentally will yo do a Retrospective on the Death's Head
    character and/or the Decepticon Octus, maybe also featuring notes on the Transformers ties to Doctor Who in the comics and a certain scene in the G1 cartoon in regards to a sound effect ..?
