Wardens and Scions Origins | The Leadership of the Drone Species Explored | Gears of Lore 5 and 4

The Wardens and Scions are a species of the new Swarm originating from the locust, whos duty it is to establish hives all across Sera. They are typically sent out alone to manage this but what exactly gives them an edge? In this episode we will discuss just that!

My guess, is that in the gears universe at the time of gears 3 at least, humanity is all but extinct. Partly due to the Locust and the human - locust war. The COG yeeting their own cities with the hammer. But also the lambent later on. Now post gears 3, the COG is near extinct, the governmental body, is gone with prescot and the whole of Azura being dead. And it's military arm being devastated as well. With all resources being stretched to the limits as well as man power. Just dumping the bodies would be the best issue. And direct all resources to rebuilding settlements, re populating etc

[@AnimeShinigami13]

more than likely politics dude. politicians don't like to be reminded of human mortality, including the things that almost destroyed the human race. We've basically made death and aging a disease. Then there's the fear of panic. so many times a bad situation was downplayed because politicians were afraid of riots in the streets. For example, during the 1918 flu pandemic information on the flu in the newspaper was pushed all the way to the back because politicians were afraid of the information that a plague was underway inciting a riot.

Therons are also drones. Read the Rise of RAAM comic and the character descriptions in Gears 1’s character select. Therons are just older drones that have developed longer teeth and a survival instinct. Still wondering what the deal was with Kantus. We never saw any of them affected by the Imulsion Countermeasure, but we know they disappeared. Since Scions have a Kantus ability, we can infer that some Scions used to be Kantus. I love these videos.

[@odsttrooper2020]

There were some locust from the original horde that survived the countermeasure that COG special forces had to fight while securing important sights underground to bury the pods.

FUN FACT about Wardens... They can be COMPLETELY overpowered in hand to hand combat by high level striker class COG. (I know because I'm leveling that class and can demonstrate.) That being said, I'd love to see your explanation of the anatomy of "Grace" in the Gears franchise. NOT the Terminator franchise. If that sounds confusing its because I'd prefer to see a thought exercise conducted on Grace if she were a part of the Gears cannon instead. Afterall, Grace is the original character who pioneered the "Striker" class into Gears 5, and therefore, there's likely some really intriguing information that states how and why she's able to overpower Wardens using their own weapons. I'm sure a thought exercise on the "Brawler" class would be nowhere near as fun as Striker since there's no logical reason why Cole catches on fire when he runs. But there IS a reasonable explanation behind Grace.

[@kinorris1709]

In gears of war 1 we had Raam as the face of the locust, and the Queen, Myrrah as the voice. In 2, we had Skorge as the face and, again, the Queen as the voice. In 3, the Queen had noone left to be the big boy on the field. So she stepped up, and even then, she stayed back until she had no options left. In 4, the Speaker was the closest we had to a face of the Swarm. There was no voice because at that point, Reyna was not fully converted, just at the point where she could not be saved. Gears 5: For some reason, they left Reyna's body in the hive, despite the fact that leaving the bodies of their kind on their turf has already proven to be a bad idea. Immediately upon reawakening, Reyna becomes both the face and the voice of the swarm in her first true appearance as the Queen. We get no build up. As soon as the information about her beginning is known, it's an obvious tell that she is still alive and is gonna be the queen. There is no mystery. With Myrrah, we didn't know her. There is no smart play. She stupidly risks dying just to personally confront her daughter. What if her ambush failed? What if Kait had just thrown the knife at her head? She'd be dead, leaving the swarm without a leader. Even when Myrrah was all that remained of the leadership she still didn't risk her life until she had no other options. When Delta showed up in her castle, she left to let someone less important deal with her. She kept her distance when encountering Delta. Raam's appearance as well as Skorge's work because, in Raam's case, it shows that the locust indeed have a military leader. The Queen is alluded to, in how she speaks of Raam's execution of their strategy, and is pleased with his success. For Skorge, it shows that the locust had more than 1 ace up their sleeve. Both appear, and the first thing they do is completely mess things up. By the time Myrrah takes a frontline role, we can see it coming before we face her as not only does she apeear and watch from a distance on a flying super beetle, but we've already beaten 2 of the leaders she appointed, so it makes sense that after that, she decided to take a more active role. Queen Reyna is presumed dead and the moment she is hinted at, the potential for buildup is gone. She immedately takes a frontline position, despite having many capable warriors to fill a frontline command role. Even before her, the Speaker had been capable of oragnising the swarm. Not only is she being pushed into the action too soon, but there was no mystery about her, and she takes unnecessary actions that Myrrah would only take as a last resort. She wasn't just an unclear antagonist. She's a dumb antagonist too.

[@marco8414]

Sure wish they would have addressed the whole thing about Imulsion being eliminated at the end of 3. Like the Pendulum Wars were about dwindling resources and Imulsion was one of the last forms of energy found on Sera, and now it's gone.

If I'm correct, the locust (not the beasts) were part made by impulsion and part made by human genetic engineering. At first it was rustlung with imulsion that the gov tried to cure but then they try to genetic engineer a super soldier which made the locust. So all locust has impulsion cells and over time they become more and more infected with impulsion cells. But they became a species not dependent on imulsion because of the cog engineering. So when the imulsion counter wave blasted it out it killed anyone with to much imulsion within them like doctor phoenix including most of the locust. But for those who didn't have to much(a few locust) they were able to live and grow without imulsion effecting them. Those would grow with crystals on them and into like a coma, because of biology idk

It's not like this cristal is absolutly suspicious and we should totally be paranoid of the Locusts after nearly two decades of war. Nah, it'll be fine. What could possibly go wrong? 25 years later: Well shit. On a more serious note, it's interesting to note that Raam is an example of Locust already reaching such a large size. But that beg the question: what happen to the Boomers? Did they became the Carriers? I always assume the Carriers were the Berserkers, since they share some physical similarity and are also very hardened. Plus, they can generate little creatures, and since the Berserkers were the Locust females, that would mean the Carriers are throwing at us...former Locust fetus? Yikes.

In GOW 4 they make it clear that the crystals made the corpses indestructible, they tried to destroy the bodies, but there came a time when they just had to hide them somewhere and get on with their lives. Proof of this is a statement by Marcus: "After the war, we had to worry about who was still alive." There were less than a million humans alive, they didn't have enough scientists or manpower to study the crystals , so they decided to focus on the problems at hand.

@@funkyreapercat5280 They should've at least made a check-up once or twice a years. Just sending a team of Gears or robots. Would not have been that hard. Oh well. Full on human arrogance or our famous will to just forget what we do not see.
