Gears

Gears is an Autobot robot from the planet Cybertron who arrived on Earth aboard the Ark after a catastrophic crash landing millions of years ago. He is one of the original Transformers characters introduced in Marvel's landmark 1984 comic series.

Few characters can claim they were there from the very beginning — Gears debuted in the landmark first issue of Marvel's The Transformers in 1984, making this Bronze Age figure a genuine piece of comics history. With two key issues to their name and a publishing presence stretching an remarkable four decades to 2025, Gears has proven to be a quietly enduring presence in the Transformers universe. Sharing pages with titans like Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Bumblebee, and Ratchet, Gears has kept some of the most iconic company in science-fiction comics throughout their run across The Transformers and G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers. For collectors who love tracing a franchise back to its roots, Gears is a rewarding find — a character whose very first appearance helped launch one of Marvel's most beloved licensed series.
