Okay with the exception of Fate all the Gears and Gear-like units have been Neutral so I thought I pose this question here.  Fate brought many things to the table including hints of future Gear types.  I thought it would be interesting to start making some guess what those Gears might do.  While it might be months even years before we see anything, Fate has dealt us some ideas for wild speculations:

Grimorium: +2 Attack.
Goethia: +2 inches to Walking and Running movement.
Theurgia: +1 Defense.
Trithemius: +1 Attack.
Alma: The Control Zone is expanded by 2 inches.

Theurgia: I think its already been hinted at this is melee unit and that it can sacirfice defense to make some very powerful attacks.  From Hiro's card I would say its in the 50+ range (if Hiro is a zero cost pilot.  Maybe something in line like a Empire warrior.

Trithemius: Really have no clue on tis other then maybe a unit that can do a lot of cheap attacks or cheap ranged attacks like a heavily armored Wiss Crow.  Did Google the name and found several different things including "Trithemius’ The art of drawing spirits into crystals".

Alma: found it to be Latin for "a nourishing one" make me strongly believe this is support unit or maybe even mobile command center like a Gear Arbitor.

Okay that's my wild guess anyone else want to try and take a crack at it?

We already know that Hiro in Theurgia costs 70 levels!

Gear Arbiter. Now I'll have nightmares Maybe Alma will be  ranged attacks unit or something like that?

We already have a pretty serious Gear buffer in Fate, so Alma as another buffer might be overkill. That said, it's obvious Alma will have some sort of special effect that uses its CZ, so it's either going to have support, debuff or Weird Magic. The meaning of the name makes me think it might be a buffing or repair unit.

It only makes sense the the gear would be neutral. The pilot would determine whether it is light/dark/neutral.

Which brings up a question, Hiro is a light faction character but the Theurgia is considered neutral even when he is piloting it. I know there isn't a lot of room to write on those cards, but it would be nice to clarify the pilot's faction (for the sake of characters like Xavier who punish light faction models).
