Biology

The two predetermined gears it is composed of mesh well only with each other and are closer than twins, as they will rebound from any other gear. Interlocking and spinning around generates the energy needed to live and attack. It is suspected that Klink was the inspiration behind ancient people's invention of the first gears.
