Real Gear Robot is a catchall term for Earth machinery brought to life as Transformers by the Allspark. The term originates with the "Real Gear Robots" sub-line of Movie toys, which features Transformers created from real earthen consumer electronics brought to life in this manner. The Real Gear Robot title can also (for lack of an alternative) be applied to the numerous other non-toyline robots created in this manner.

of the next episode/issue in the series or 30 days after release, whichever is sooner


Though the Real Gear Rrobots toys were created to expand on the (brief) appearance of similar robots in the movie, many Real Gear Robots appear to predate the March 16 2006 cessation of experiments on the Allspark.[1] It is unclear if they were deliberately created by Sector 7 before this and escaped, or perhaps were an unintended result of the Allspark's "area-effect."

When first brought to life Real Gear robots appear to be almost mindless; alive but without concept of the world- and often feral. Time apparently remedies this weakness.

Trivia

  • Real Gear Robots are the return of "mechanical device" transformers along the lines of the original Perceptor and Reflector, whose alt modes are all common hand-held electric devices.
