Goldgear

Goldgear is an unaligned Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

"Hi-Test? He's not big-geared, he's my brother!"

One of Soundwave's new minions, Goldgear is a Mini-Con who obeys without delay. Unlike his fellow Mini-Cons, he doesn't use tricking a Bot in order to steal a Decepticon Hunter or waiting around for when the time is right, Goldgear gets the job done easily. He goes in once a distraction occurs and walks right out when he's got what he's came for. Making him perfect for taking care of turncoats' jobs.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

After she got knocked out by the Stunticons during a fight in a railroad yeard, Strongarm had her Decepticon Hunter stolen by Goldgear, who casually retrieved the weapon and slipped away before Bumblebee could notice anything amiss. Railroad Rage

Notes

• The script for "Railroad Rage" called for Hi-Test to appear and steal Strongarm's Decepticon Hunter, but he had voted with his feet to leave the Mini-Cons in Soundwave's service three episodes before. Goldgear was subbed in to do the job, too late for the script to be altered, leaving Adam Beechen to confirm Goldgear's true idenity.
