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.
