The Gear Shredder is one of the technologically simpler weapons used on Cybertron. It fires out razor-sharp spinning blades that bounce off walls and will cut right through an enemy. It can be also charged up to fire three blades at once, letting you slice and dice the foe when they come at you in groups.

Toys

Generations

• Kickback (Deluxe, 2012)

Part of the third wave of 2012 Generations Deluxe Class toys, Fall of Cybertron Kickback includes a disc launcher that's modeled after the Gear Shredder. It can mount/be held with its 5mm post, features four 5mm peg-holes at the front and rear sides, and can fire its disc via pressure-launch. Kickback's wing-blades can be attached to any of the four peg-holes, but they nominally peg into the ones at the front, making the weapon vaguely resemble a crossbow. It can also be mounted on his back in either mode by sliding it into grooves found on top of his clawed appendages, with the attached wing-blades giving him a winged backpack of sorts in robot mode.
