Tools

Gary has wielded his Flame Blade since he was a 1.0 Hero. He got his Skewer-shield upon receiving his 2.0 upgrade. In his 3.0 form he used a Hooked Claw, and had spikes added to his shoulders. As a 4.0 he had his shield altered so that he could have a spear shooter, and an Electroclaw, like he had when he was Nery. He can use his Flame Blade and Electroclaw together to make a small explosion, which he tried to use for flight. As a 5.0 his Flame Blade was turned into a Flame Sythe, which he can split apart into a short blade, but he is unable to use the scythe end due to its weight, it can also fold up for storage purposes. He can still use his Flame Blade by removing it from the scythe. His Electroclaw was also altered to become attachments on his feet to allow him to fly a little, he also gained a small shield, because they ran out of bigger shields, which he calls the Graey Shield, he also gained an extension on his back armor which allows him to still use his Spear Shooter, and gives him somewhere to put his shield and Flame Scythe when not in use, but it reduces his Spear Shooter's range. He was also given Hero Cuffs to capture Incendium and Von Nebula.
