ALPHA TRION'S DATATRAX "CYBERTRONIAN MANIFEST" ENTRY #0019: NAME: Gears IDENTITY: Male FUNCTION: Autobot Repair & Transport HOME PLANET: Cybertron CURRENT RESIDENCE: Earth It's hard to believe that Gears even likes being an Autobot. He never seems happy doing any Autobot task, or doing anything in general. He's a bit of a grump, to put it nicely. Still, he's there for his fellow Autobots when it counts, and is able to use his great physical strength and endurance to help carry heavy materials, and, if necessary, his injured allies. When he and the other Earthbound Autobots were careening towards the Earth, he was one of the many to be jettisoned out in stasis pods for his value in engineering. He crash-landed in New York City, which caused quite a stir on the news, and had to quickly take a new alternate mode before he was discovered. While taking refuge in the human city, he became somewhat of a legend. Whenever he'd spot a human in danger, he'd use the winch attached to his alt mode to swing over and protect them. He's regarded as somewhat of a superhero known as the 'Spider-Truck', but his true identity as a Cybertronian is unknown to most.
