The beginning of this episode helped remind everyone, as did Michael Bay, a crucial point that fans tend to forget: the Transformers are hella scary when you're a human trapped between them!
According to his Tech Specs, Gears is quite strong and tough, has infrared sensors, and can do twenty-mile long 'jet jumps' using compressed air thrusters (presumably in his feet). Not a bad stretch of powers, really.
OPTIMUS: "The sun is going to explode in two hours. Megatron is in the middle of Africa. Transform and let's start driving!" [MAKES IT THERE WITH TIME TO SPARE!]
Seeing as how none of the Autobots that were present can fly, I thought this was going to be the introduction to the Aerialbots or something. 2 hours still wouldn't be enough time if we assume they travel as fast as actual planes but it would have made more sense than them driving to Africa in 2 hours from the US (or any amount of time for that matter).
21:41 I love how Optimus and the others just casually transform and leave while Gears continues his rant about… whatever. Also 12:32-12:54 Alternative Title for this Segment: “Peter Cullen Briefly Argues with Himself about ‘Who Should Make the Ultimate Sacrifice’, So Casey Kasem All-of-a-Sudden, Bravely Decides to Do it Himself.”
Gears was a true warrior, especially, the way he spun Starscream around and made him collide with Soundwave. So, Gears basically, took down 2 decepticons which is impressive for a mini bot.
And yet the movie nerfed and massacred them, just to sell kids new toys. I honestly believe the show had more than enough Autobots with just the S1 cast. I like some of the S2 guys like Blaster and Tracks. Inferno, Grapple and Hoist were big guys for some added muscle, and the Aerialbots added some much needed air support, but It was the Decepticons who really needed more recruits.
@@collegerebel the movie didn't nerf a thing, autobots had plot armor in the first 2 seasons. They should be weaker than the decpticons on G1 since they're not build to be weapons
11:15 this scene crystallizes the community and concern the autobots have for one another. Always made me smile as kid. They always had eachothers backs.
Don't forget shortly after , he also kicked a boulder like a soccer ball to save WheelJack from the falling tower. He displayed he has a mean right foot , twice in one episode . Insecticon KickBack would be proud.
One of my favorite episodes, no doubt about it. G1 really portrayed the Autobots as a family-team.. Love that detail. They all had shiny personalities. Even grumpy Gears.
You know, the way Megatron said "Bring me the Autobot, Gears" could've easily been taken out of context. I know he meant he wanted Gears the robot, but it almost sounded like he was telling Soundwave to rip gears out of the Autobots.
To me without context, It sounded more like Megatron ordered Soundwave to very specifically bring Gears back to base just so he and the other Decepticons could do the ummm… Okay I’ll stop.
4:16 Holy crap this immediately reminded me of how in Transformers(2007) Megatron said "You still fight for the weak, and that is why you LOSE!" Also harvesting the Sun within the continent of Africa? A bit too specific to just be a coincidence. Perhaps Revenge of The Fallen took inspiration.
This is actually a pretty well written episode. Lots of mechanical jargon, more so than some other episodes. It's also fun to see Rachet show his proficiency with kicking things. First Skywarp then a boulder. Who knew? This episode also has one of my favorite subtle things that I love: That is watching Rachet and Wheeljack struggle to get the panel off the machine only to have Prime rip it off to save time. Then there's just a little more suspension added for fun with the two arguing over which cable to pull. I just like little details in a show designed to sell toys
@8:15 Optimus says the sun will explode in ~2 hrs... and the device in “Central Africa”... Autobot HQ is in Southwest Desert of USA... How are autobots going to “drive” to Africa in ~2hrs...?
Gears is slept on so much by the Transformers community in general. He's just as valuable as the other Autobots, but he gets swept under the rug along with Windcharger. This is one of my favorite episodes of G1 as a whole, and I personally really wish Gears would come back in the form of a new toy. Please make it happen, Hasbro!
So true. For the past few months, I’ve been collecting Transformers figures from War For Cybertron(Siege, Earthrise and Kingdom), Studio Series 86 and Legacy. My main goal was to at least have all the original cast of Autobots and Decepticons that crashed on Earth from the 1st season. The problem was the last figure I needed: Gears. They just don’t have a modern G1 accurate version of him. So I had to resort to a Third Party company called Bad Cube and they have a figure called “Grump” which is basically Gears but with no Autobot symbols. Other than that, he is 100% the cartoon version of Gears. Not cheap. Cost me $80 plus tax. I had to put an Autobot symbol on his chest from a sticker company called Toyhax. My 1984 original cast is now complete except for Buzzsaw since they don’t have any modern figures of him.
Gears: “I feel so good-natured!” Megatron “uhhhh….OBVIOUSLY this circuit modulated your personality!” Megatron loves to make up shit as he goes along 😂
But it was obvious in the context: Take out a chip and he acts different. What could have caused it? Maybe... oh I don't know... the removed circuit was important for his personality?
@@KilosFoxo Well the plot needed him to sit there and be threatened by Megatron, even though he has fought Megatron unarmed many times and taken several point blank hits from Megatron’s cannon with no lasting effects. But sure, we’ll totally buy that he’d just stand there.
I like how some transformers get like a whole episode for their debut, but some, like gears just get like a ten seconds intro where they say something, another guy responds saying their name and then the move on. Beach comber and perspector had it the worst though. Literally just walk up to chip tell him his name and transform into a MICROSCOPE never to be seen again in that episode
You cannot convince me Gears isn’t the great grandfather of Rattrap from Beast Wars. I know canonically Arcee is his great aunt, but I’m convinced Gears is part of that family tree.
I just gotten Autobot Gears yesterday and glad his toy was given a open chest plate as a homage to this episode but too bad he didn’t come with a circuit card but still a great figure to have for my collection.
In a behind the scenes post by Mark Maher, one of the designers, he mentioned that you can repurpose the little Laserbeak cassette that comes with core class Soundwave as Gears' circuit card
I noticed Wheeljack was in Smokescreen colors 2:37 13:54 Starscream has the wrong Voice, or Skywarp has the wrong color scheme, given when it cuts back it is Screamer, they gave him the wrong voice
Can you all stop the hate on Bay? I am not even his fan, but you guys are annoying. If anything, you should be grateful to Bay because his movies saved the Transformers franchise, which was dying in the 2000s. FYI, this episode inspired the Revenge of the Fallen movie. And that movie was produced during the writers' strike, so it was filmed with an incomplete script. Can't really blame Bay for that.
To me Starscream is like an unwanted child who tries to impress his abusive dad-figure and gain his respect and love, but then sees that's useless and fights him. Their relationship is like an annular rollercoaster. One episode they work toghether, but Megs still mocking him, and the other episode Starscream tries to get revenge for disrespect and sabotages Megs plans. For what Megs keeps mocking and abuse Starscream. An infinite circle of revenge and disbelieve. And that's kinda familiar and sad
@@corkscrewfoley Really? Have you ever read any comic where Starscream is the leader? It is a disaster. And everytime Starscream got some cosmical power, he slaughter both Decepticons and Autobots. Check out the Underbase Saga.
This kind of episode is exactly why Season 2 was the best of G1, building upon Season 1 whilst going for more fantastical elements too. Season 3 still doesn't compare
"The sun will explode in slightly less than two Earth hours." "I've triangulated his location to the geographic center of Africa." They all transform into land vehicles and start driving. *cuts to zebras* Somehow they still make it.
I guess that's why the Decepticons couldn't feint attacking one part of the of the world while the real Attack is happening on the total opposite side of the world. The Autobots can drive anywhere, so fast and so easily
This is one of the best episodes! There's so much to love and unpack: Gears, Optimus, Cliffjumper, Megatron, Starscream, and the one who looks like a jeep (not Hound)!
"What did you do to Gears, you monster? You turned him... NICE!"
I always find that part funny 😂
That's a good one
Ha! Now There's a unique complaint.
😂😂 I love that saying part from Ironhide.
Megatron backhanding Starscream twice is what makes this episode great. 😂
"NOOO!!"
"Fool! That Autobot is the key to my plan."
I feel like Megatron just never tells Starscream his plans, because he enjoys punching him when he goes against the plan.
😂😂👍🏿
he get Starscream's hope up, pauses for a few seconds and then let's him have it. 1:50 love this part.
Seems like a toxic relationship.
@@TheKaiTetley Oh it is. Starscream should have been terminated after last episode but here we are again
And maybe so Starscream doesn't actively sabotage them.
12:45 Cliffjumper's recklessness actually paid off for a change.
Back when Cliffjumper survived anything that went through him without a scratch
@@CardinalMB9 Yeah, and he had the weapons to back it up. (The TFP version had gatling laser blasters.)
the fact that ironhide was so appalled by gears being nice is just funny as hell in my opinion
2:16 Always cracks me up. Gears just walking while everyone else is charging full tilt. And Bumblebee acting like the energetic little brother.
Bumblebee was the youngest that's why
The beginning of this episode helped remind everyone, as did Michael Bay, a crucial point that fans tend to forget: the Transformers are hella scary when you're a human trapped between them!
Windcharger's power: Magnetism;
Skywarp: teleportation,
Mirage: invisibility,
Gears: grumpiness???
According to his Tech Specs, Gears is quite strong and tough, has infrared sensors, and can do twenty-mile long 'jet jumps' using compressed air thrusters (presumably in his feet). Not a bad stretch of powers, really.
I kind of miss the old days where each transformer had at least one “super power”.
I am gears. Lmao
Dont sleep on gears he was small, grumpy but he could fight he wasnt weak
I guess I’m Gears lol
OPTIMUS: "The sun is going to explode in two hours. Megatron is in the middle of Africa. Transform and let's start driving!"
[MAKES IT THERE WITH TIME TO SPARE!]
I was thinking it was always convenient that the decepticons only tried shit within a short driving distance of the autobot base
Seeing as how none of the Autobots that were present can fly, I thought this was going to be the introduction to the Aerialbots or something. 2 hours still wouldn't be enough time if we assume they travel as fast as actual planes but it would have made more sense than them driving to Africa in 2 hours from the US (or any amount of time for that matter).
lol
I look back at G1 and think to so it makes sense why they make fast travel systems like the ground bridge on new Transformers shows XD
Thats because they rode on the show transmition
12:07 a rare moment when Megatron and Starscream laugh together
Yes he does. Goes to show how much the writers enjoy writing for Starscream
21:41 I love how Optimus and the others just casually transform and leave while Gears continues his rant about… whatever.
Also
12:32-12:54 Alternative Title for this Segment: “Peter Cullen Briefly Argues with Himself about ‘Who Should Make the Ultimate Sacrifice’, So Casey Kasem All-of-a-Sudden, Bravely Decides to Do it Himself.”
😂😂😂
Gears was not a character you’d expect to get a spotlight episode.
But I'm happy he did anyway
I've always loved Gears and he definitely deserved the Spotlight 💪😊
Great episode. Megatron transforms. Shows his leadership and his power in gun mode well.
Need Skyfire in this episode
He kind of was THE least important Autobot out of the 1984 group. Except because of this episode it's probably like Bluestreak or Windcharger or Prowl
12:06 the only laugh that Megatron and Starscream ever shared.
🥰
19:45 Wheeljack and Ratchet argue over which wire to disconnect, then Prime's like "The heck with it!" LOL!!😆😆
😂😂😂
Honestly I’d go with Wheeljack’s suggestion, he’s the tech head, ratchets the medical officer.
Gears was a true warrior, especially, the way he spun Starscream around and made him collide with Soundwave. So, Gears basically, took down 2 decepticons which is impressive for a mini bot.

And it's his first episode too
11:15 this scene crystallizes the community and concern the autobots have for one another. Always made me smile as kid. They always had eachothers backs.

This has actually happened before with Bumblebee in Ultimate Doom.
That running side kick from Ratchet though.
I know 😂😂
"Now, COUGH!"

i was like "go grandpa go!!" haha
Don't forget shortly after , he also kicked a boulder like a soccer ball to save WheelJack from the falling tower. He displayed he has a mean right foot , twice in one episode . Insecticon KickBack would be proud.
1:14 I guess there are times when Soundwave decides to just be a little extra.
even he deserves some sort of excitement from time to time ^^
One of my favorite episodes, no doubt about it. G1 really portrayed the Autobots as a family-team.. Love that detail. They all had shiny personalities. Even grumpy Gears.

They don’t call him Cliffjumper for nothing.

Season 2 has the best opening animation in my humble opinion.
Now you speaking facts
Agree
For me, season 1 and 2 are great
Best animation but with season 3 theme, perfect.
Best animation but the song needed to be the first one 🥺
Nice to see Megs in favor of green energy here
Hahahaha! 👏🏿👏🏿🔥
Yeah seems weird that Megatron was using green energy and Optimus and the autobots were blast trees to dust... lol
@@atomicoverridelbc6796 true Muricans
Ratchet must have been taking some lessons from Nightbird. That flying kick was legit.
Indeed Thundercracker got 0wned
A giant device that can absorb the power of the sun to create energy? So that's where Revenge of the Fallen got that idea from.
Well, in this version, Megatron's device looks more tame than the Fallen's.
I think you are right. This was the inspiration for the movie.

A solar panel isn't enough for Megatron. No, he needs a 93 million mile long straw made of energy. Greedy, isn't he? RIP Don Messick (voice of Gears)
