Gears is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film continuity family.

Why are you so scratched in the face? Hmmm...

Gears likes complaining. It makes him happy. But more importantly, he knows that his fellow Autobots find his endless litanies amusing rather than annoying. And in a war that's run a few million years, a little laughter can make a big difference, so he keeps at it.

Everyone wins!

When Brawn balked that the humans could see them being beaten, Gears responded that when it comes to saving lives you shelve your pride. Inside Out!
