Gyro Gearloose is a supporting character in the 2017 DuckTales reboot series. He made his debut in the Season 1 episode "The Great Dime Chase!". He is an inventor who works for Scrooge McDuck.
He was voiced by Jim Rash.
Appearance[]
In this version of the DuckTales series, Gyro has white hair that matches his feathers, and wears a short yellow hat with black accents and black glasses, a green shirt with a pink bow tie, a brown vest, a black belt, and tan pants.
Gyro's younger design shown in photographs and memory recordings closely resembles his physical appearance of the character's previous iterations, such as his hair and clothes, albeit varying in color: His hair was still white instead of the traditional red, and his shirt was still green instead of the traditional pink.
Personality[]
Although still depicted as being eccentric and good-natured, the reboot's version of Gyro is depicted as being short-tempered, impatient, sassy, arrogant, and lacks a lot of social skills. He has great affection for his inventions and never intends for them to become evil. However, he will not hesitate to stop his inventions from causing further harm or damage.
Gyro's personality was closer to previous incarnations of the character, his naivety and optimism leaving him easily manipulated and mistreated by Akita, who tricked him into believing B.O.Y.D.'s malfunctions were his fault, and leaving Gyro disgraced. After discovering the truth years later, Gyro was able to talk down a malfunctioning B.O.Y.D., embracing him as they reconciled. Realizing he himself had been exploited by Akita, Gyro made an effort to treat Fenton better, promoting him as his equal (in spite of Fenton informing him that's not how doctorates work).
On a weirder or funnier note, he seems to be addicted to having and creating a clone army stated in "Moonvasion!" and "Timephoon!".
Biography[]
Gyro appears in the reboot series as Scrooge's personal mad scientist. In addition to being Scrooge's scientist, he is assisted by Fenton (as an intern) and Little Bulb like the original. In this series, Gyro has white hair and wears a green suit as opposed to his red hair and pink suit in the original series, and appears to be physically younger as well. His lab is now located in a basement beneath The Money Bin. He is also less friendly and more eccentric compared to most portrayals of the character, his personality and inventions both described by the writers as "wildly misunderstood". However, in spite of his arrogance, he still cares about his inventions and won't hesitate to stop them from doing further damage and protecting those he cares about. He also utters out "blatherin' blatherskite", which was originally Fenton's expression, whenever he's frustrated and even named his newest idea, "Project Blatherskite". In the second season episode "What Ever Happened to Della Duck?!, it is revealed that he has worked for Scrooge for at least ten years, since Della Duck used his Oxy-Chew to survive in the moon.
In the episode "Astro B.O.Y.D.!", it's revealed that he used to be like his previous incarnation, even keeping his original design. But after the disaster cause by the supposedly failed "2-BO" (a.k.a. B.O.Y.D.), he became the bitter and cynical scientist he is today.
In the episode "The Last Adventure!", he asks of Lil Bulb to "look after [the latter's] brother", referring to Boyd. As of this episode, he seems to have grown closer to the robot boy, and we see a softer and fatherly side to him.
