At his core, Gears is just a poor repaint of the 1992 Barricade figure. But, the green helmet and all blue body make for an effective blend with the rest of the 1994 Star Brigade figures. The Gears figure is somewhat obscure and rather hard to find these days. He's not a figure that's really necessary. He's also not a figure that has a lot of content available. Here's the best I could find of Gears from around the web.

While I've always thought the 1992/Blue and Gold Barricade would be a good as a custom or for someone to use as a Robocop figure, I think the simple Blue and Grey Gears figure here fits that a bit more, if only because he uses Blue and Grey, while Barricade used Gold and Blue. In which if I did get Gears or Barricade, I would of most likely had used it as Robocop.
