Damn, Gears has got more gimmicks than the whole 'Evo-Fusion' line

[@Mr.Jarbles]

Can't wait for the Swerve variant.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Can't wait for the Small Foot variant.

“Great Scott!” - probably Dr. Emmet L. Brown

[@ageis]

I got my Gears on Friday from Hasbro Pulse and he’s amazing, everything I wanted in a new Gears release!

[@jeffleavitt9626]

got gears last week, fantastic little figure, probably my favorite of the year so far

[@alexanderoamador]

Awesome Easter eggs

[@slicerneons3300]

"I bet this video won't get many views, grumble grumble"-Gears

[@frankcastle2814]

" ' bet some guy just snap chatted my stupid mouth onto the internets again" - gears

[@Trebleshot]

Gears is awesome. Got him last week from Pulse. Really hope we get Windcharger soon. And then Outback, Swerve and Tailgate since we would have the molds for all three at that point. While I still think Wheelie won't get a new deluxe mold due to his 86 release, we still need a new Powerglide to finish off the Minibots.

[@Cadeho3]

And Seaspray

[@ZedMazaus480]

Ah, sea spray. Our poor aquatic minicon that barely ever gets any toy love ever. Him and power glide don't get enough respect.

[@jeddulanas9262]

Wow that Ironhide in the comic panel looks like Gobots Psycho

[@rmgonzalez23]

The cybertronian mode would look perfect had they stuck to the toon alt mode. Still it's a great figure.

[@groan-up]

I got mine from Pulse today and after fiddling with it I noticed that alt mode with retracted wheels provides an opportunity for 3D printing two fitted axles for monster truck wheels. It would be fun to see Gears with those proportions as the wheels on the toy itself feel relatively small.

[@StarWarriorPrimeReviews]

Got mine earlier this week I can't wait to have time to check it out and see what it's like, I really liked the Easter eggs I'm glad you pointed them out great video.

[@trycon40]

i bet a third party is ging to make a flood light for gears with infer read from mtmte episode 2

[@MCDJACDC]

M for Marvelous ❤

[@somkiat_alexavier]

All I can say is “WOW!!!”

[@raymondreyes5850]

Love it!

[@johnosbourn4312]

Hey Protoman, the Transformers War Within comics were published by Dream Wave, not IDW.

[@Cadeho3]

I know he says it's Cybertronian but it isn't ... it's borrowing from Gigawatt... Gears is an old vehicle that got fitted for hover wheels in the future.

[@sethputnamsghost]

Got Gears on pre order, picked up Origins Wheeljack he is mostly a leg former but I dig him a lot.🤘

[@Jeradactile]

Hey there all !

[@PaulStargasm]

I'm not convinced by that 'cybertrobian' mode. Looks more like something they doscovered when playing around with the figure, much like we've pretty much all done over the years.

[@Windcharger84]

Actually Windcharger doesn't have the M molded in unlike Gears and Brawn.

[@xpressway2yrskull374]

Doesn’t look like Laserbeak fits in the slot. More like you can pretend that it fits.

[@edgarokras5695]

Don't like plastic quality of legacy transformers
