Gearhead
Gearhead is an Autobot from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity.
Gearhead is a Ford Thunderbird stock car on the outside, and an Autobot warrior engineered for fighting on the inside. It's hard to say which half of his nature he enjoys more. Upon his arrival on the planet Earth he entered the professional racing circuit. Obviously confident in the power source beneath his titanium-plated hood, he proudly informs his opponents that if they race him, they'll lose. Gearhead is always anxious for the checkered flag, yet his desire for combat with the Decepticons has not diminished. In fact, a call to arms will send him speeding to the battlefield at speeds even higher than those he reaches on the racetrack.
Toys
Gearhead was released in 1995 as part of the Go-Bots line.
The same mold was re-used in that line for the Go-Bots version of Soundwave, and later for the Robots in Disguise Spychanger, W.A.R.S..
