Name: Gears

Make: Autobot

Role: Autobot Technician

Bio: Gears is a technician, less because he wants to be, and more because he doesn't see the point in being anything else. He was serviceable at it as a beta bot, and the Well knows he isn't going to bother coming up with something else to do. Gears was a citizen of Iacon during the Decepticon occupation, and therefore gets quite a few questions about what it was like from the greener Autobots. His response? "People fixed their own malfunctions about as often during the occupation as they did before. Meaning never."

Gears is a sourpuss, and makes no attempts to hide it. If anything, he exaggerates it. He's socially aware enough to know how people feel, and by extension knows that others find his bad attitude amusing as opposed to demoralizing. His complaints are so bad faith that his comrades can't help but feel better after hearing them. But if Gears's irritability is played up for laughs, his depression, unfortunately, is not.

Abilities: Gears is a decent technician, and has several built-in tools to help him perform his duties. While he usually performs general maintenance works, he has a particular talent for all things welding.

Despite being on the smaller side, Gears is actually one of the stronger Autobots, as well as among the toughest. He can lift loads several times his own weight, and has not only survived hits that would kill most other Autobots, but actually walked them off.

Notes: (From Brawn): I don't see it. I mean come on! Sure the guy can chuck a Decepticon a few meters, or take a hit. But I can do that too! In fact, I could chuck two Decepticons, one with each arm. Or at least I could if I ever got the chance. I'm just saying, Gears might be tough, but we all know who would come out on top in a good old fashioned wrestling match . . .

Me. I'm talking about me.
