Season 2 Episode 02

Changing Gears

Gears becomes unusually cheerful and recklessly brave, confusing both his allies and enemies. Megatron removes an important chip from Gears for use in a solar power siphon; Gears chooses heroism when he realises the risk to the Sun. Will Gears be restored to his familiar gruff but loyal self?
