''Heavy Gear'' was originally a tabletop wargame created in 1994 by a company called Dream Pod 9. It centered around the conflict of the Northern States versus the Southern Territories on the planet called Terra Nova, with an expanding storyline. The centerpiece of these conflicts is the [[Mini-Mecha|armored battle suit]] [[A Mech by Any Other Name|called the Heavy Gear,]] with both sides developing their own variants of the mecha.
Line 6:
The universe has a tabletop game, a character-based RPG, a card game, two video games, and an animated TV series to its name.
The [[Video Games]], released under the titles of ''Heavy Gear'' and ''Heavy Gear II'' and developed by [[Activision]], are [[Simulation Game|mech simulators]] that mix mech controls and standard FPS controls. (Fun fact: ''
In the second game, an attack from Earth had the North and South call a cease fire, and the player leads an elite squadron piloting advanced Gears to stop the Earth attack from trashing the planet.

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] - Back story material covers at least one instance of a normal woman pairing up with a deserted GREL trooper. In the letter she was described as being small, and most male GREL lean heavily towards the large end.
* [[More Dakka]] - The first video game allowed you to alpha-strike your weapons. If your Gear was suitably equipped, it could put on quite a show. [[A-Team Firing|Hitting the target]] and [[No Sell|penetrating its armor]] was a different matter.
* [[Real Robot]] - Similar to [[Armored Trooper VOTOMS]], which it is inspired by. Gears tend to be much smaller (
* [[Rollerblade Good]] - Wheels, treads or halftracks in the Gears' feet are used for movement over flat ground.
* [[Shoulder Cannon]] - Shoulder-mounted rocket/missile launchers and grenade launchers are the norm in this universe.
