Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Gears is an odd little throwback to his G1 counterpart. Now a silver Cadillac Escalade SUV as opposed to a bright blue and red Penny Racer styled pickup. He displays the Transformers RoTF bots' tendency to be 'robots in disguise' while being flashing cars with very noticeable custom paint jobs. I mean he's got an Autobot symbol on his hood the sames size as his tires. Not very well disguised eh?
His transformation is probably the simplest of all the Movie line Deluxe Class Transformers. I'm not sure if this is some sort of homage to how simple his 1984 G1 version was or just lazy toy designers. Whatever the reason he does at least reflect his G1 version as their robot mode paint schemes are the same blue and red coloring and similar head sculpts (albeit a bit abstractly). For a fairly simple vehicle exterior and transformation, his robot mode has a lot of details sculpted into him. His gear-driven super punch gimmick is pretty cool and he has articulated hands. Due to the placement of the piece behind his head and limited rear exposure the light piping in his eyes in next to useless.
Gears is very solid in both robot and vehicle mode and due so very highly recommended for even younger children (Gears is a great beginner/first Transformer), especially with his easy transformation. I don't think he's a must have for adult collectors unless you're a completist, obsess over G1 throwbacks, or maybe something about this figure just strikes you. Whatever you reason I wouldn't pay over 10 bucks for him, and due to him largely warming the pegs at most retailers that shouldn't be a problem. *Super Punch*
And remember parents: If you don't like challenging your children, BUY AGE APPROPRIATE.
