After Ratchet and Clank won another Annihilation Nation match, Ratchet makes a poor effort in starting a conversation to interrogate her about Nefarious, but Clank managed to arrange a meeting with her at the Holostar Studios.
The two made a deal that if she could star in one of Clank's holofilms, she would tell him anything about Dr. After the filming takes place, she knocks out Clank and takes her to Nefarious personally. Nefarious reveals that he wants Clank on his side in his plot to conquer the Solana Galaxy.
Clank refuses, and therefore ended up replaced with Klunk , who would be used to spy on Ratchet and the Q-Force. Later she kidnaps Skidd, an ally of Ratchet, and turns him into a robot. She plans to do the same with Ratchet, however, despite her impressive fighting abilities and backup dancers, Ratchet comes out on top and nothing is seen of her for the rest of the game.
It is revealed Courtney Gears had survived and made a cameo appearance in Ratchet: Deadlocked. Her first cameo was when the DreadZone commentators, Dallas and Juanita, reported that Courtney recently recovered from being attacked by "psychotic fans", referring Ratchet and Clank, even though the latter was technically not present.
It is also revealed that she once dated a robot named Reactor. Initially she dumped him when he was a math teacher, but would rush back to him after Reactor became a famous gladiator in DreadZone. After the events of Deadlocked, she would only be seen in flashbacks, such as on the IRIS supercomputer in Tools of Destruction , or on posters in the comic book series.

After filming the episode, Gears incapacitated Clank before delivering him to Nefarious, where he offered Clank a place at his side.
When Clank refused, the two instead kept him prisoner, and sent Klunk to take Clank's place and spy on Ratchet. Unaware that she was with Nefarious, McMarx asked her to autograph his t-shirt, before she kidnapped him. In " Find Skidd ", Ratchet and Klunk traveled to Obani Draco in search of him, only to find that Gears had transformed him into a robot.
Gears then teleported Ratchet into the arena where she films her music videos for a battle , promising that he would enjoy being a robot and the transformation would not be too painful.
Nefarious' torture chamber. Due to the allegations about her conspiring with Nefarious, Courtney Gears' record label dropped her in favor of Skidd McMarx's spoken word poetry. Gleeman Vox , owner of a media empire based in the Shadow Sector , recovered her damaged body.
Despite her reaching a low in her career, Vox personally oversaw the careful reconstruction and rehabilitation of her damaged body by his own team of specialist robotic surgeons. In return for funding her recovery, Vox required she sign over to him all past and future rights to her music, her image, her name, her likeness, and her personal collection of Secret Agent Clank memorabilia.
Vox News , in a segment of Galactic Glamour , spun this as a favorable deal, also spinning the battle against her by claiming she had just been "minding her own business" in the "privacy" of her Biobliterator testing facility.
The two entered a relationship, brought together by their equal love of cafeteria food. However, it faded after a month due to Bookworm's slow and boring life. Bookworm then traveled to the nearest personal enhancement center, where a live nuclear explosive was surgically implanted in his chest, rebirthing him as Reactor.
Gears first appeared in Deadlocked when Al , a member of Team Darkstar , danced to the "Robots of the Galaxy" music video. Spitting his coffee in surprise, he hurriedly turned it off when Ratchet entered to talk to him.
Gears was later discussed in a news segment by Vox News, in which they reported she made a full recovery following a "near-death experience" when she was attacked by "two psychotic fans", showing a falsified image of Ratchet and Clank.
She was mentioned in Quest for Booty and A Crack in Time , in which Cassiopeia mentioned that she was still one of Nefarious' subordinates, implying she stayed aligned with him when he resurfaced in the Polaris Galaxy. Courtney Gears is a feminine robot with a slender hotbot body type of a silver metal alloy. She has brown metallic hair held by a red headband, and glowing yellow eyes with dark gray eyeshadow.
Her outfit consists of a long-sleeved crop top and black mini-shorts underneath a red mini-skirt, with red wedge boots for her feet.
Her fame is attributed to her looks rather than to her acting or singing ability, as corroborated and stated by the frequent mentions of her attractive appearance by other characters, including Ratchet, [1] the Annihilation Nation announcer, [20] the director , [21] and Qwark.
Courtney Gears is a manipulative character, hoodwinking others into believing she is on their side, often by feigning innocence or attraction. Due to this and her duplicitous tendencies, her motives are often unclear.
Though she did believe Ratchet and presumably other organics would enjoy being a robot, she also stated in her lyrics she can't stand organics and called for their extermination. Gears is very conceited and aloof. The room in which her music videos are filmed is full of pictures of her, and she shows disdain towards those she sees as beneath her, including Ratchet and McMarx. During her battle against Ratchet, Gears called Ratchet a "nappy little rat" who would make a nice fur coat, and likened the entire battle to a dance-off while taunting him.
She expressed frustration at him for messing up her hair or nails, rather than for necessarily causing harm. After losing to him, she bemoaned her fans would be lost without her. Gears is surrounded by a posse of backup dancers , including her best dancer named Melissa, [13] who hang out with her in her hideout [3] and appear in her music videos. While Qwark claimed to have had an intimate relationship with her to taunt Nefarious, [7] and she was implied to crush on Nefarious during Up Your Arsenal , the only confirmed relationship she had was with Reactor.
Though the relationship began genuine, it faded after merely a week; her return motivated only by money, but lasting until his death. Courtney Gears is a deceptively tough and powerful fighter, who often fights alongside her backup dancers which have similar abilities.
She is agile, able to teleport short distances mid-combat, and can perform spinning kicks. She can fire energy blasts, throw spinning energy discs at foes, and fire electric shockwaves.
Outside of combat, she has a powerful static shock from her eyes that could incapacitate Clank. Though she is a very successful pop star, Gears' acting and singing talent are disparaged by several characters, including Ratchet on two occasions, [1] [13] and even including the Annihilation Nation announcer who refers to her as "in-talented". Courtney Gears' name is a parody of real-life pop star Britney Spears. She references Britney's song " Oops! The backup dancer Melissa, whom she refers to as her best dancer, [13] is likely a reference to the voice actor's name.
In Deadlocked , she was voiced by Nika Futterman. Futterman went on to voice Juanita Alvaro , Vernon , and Vendra Prog , and other characters in the series. TJ Fixman, writer of Into the Nexus in which Vendra Prog is the main villain , compared the two prior to release in a tweet, hinting that Vendra was much more evil.
An early version of the song, recorded by Paul Mudra to teach Melissa Disney the lyrics, has a few minor differences in the lyrics, with different ad libs and slightly different timing. Munson's original design for the boss fight was as a rhythm game, in which the player had to match what Gears was singing.
