In "Gearwigs", the bad Trux enter a cave and hears a rattling sound. D-Structs recognizes the sound and notice a group of Gearwigs approach them.
The bad Trux begin to build a block rock while a group of Gearwigs remained inside the dark cave.
As Revvit and Click-Clack begins to carves another sound receiver rock inside D-Structs, a single Gearwig lurks in there.
Click-Clack start hearing a sound of Gearwig lurking. Click-Clack then notices a Gearwig that is about to clamp Waldo's tail. Ace tries to pull it away from him but it is too strong to let go. Then Click-Clack stresses out spinning his bits making a whirring sound which causes the Gearwig to let go of Waldo and crawls away.
After D-Structs and his gang trapped the Trux and Tools inside the cave, a colony of Gearwigs begin to attack them. The Gearwigs then tried to clamp into their gears. The Gearwigs entered Dozer's treads and managed to clamp them and one of them clamped Ace's tail. Waldo tries to pull it out of Ace's tail. One of them tries to clamp Revvit's head but managed to shake it off. More of them continue to overwhelm Ty, Dozer, Skya, Ton-Ton, Ace, and Waldo as they clamp them. Click-Clack orders them around while the Gearwigs continue to crawl around until Click-Clack uses the sound receiver rock and sound of his bits which drove the Gearwigs away.
As the bad Trux eat peacefully in their lair, Click-Clack uses his sound bits to bring in the Gearwigs and begin to attack them.

Click-Clack tries to spin his bits to irritate them out of the way but were still moving around and were not irritated. Revvit believes that they are a different breed of Gearwig. Revvit brings and throws a vine above the Gearwigs and begin to cross over them. Click-Clack begin to slip but Revvit managed to grab him and a Gearwig bites on the Guide Stone. The Gearwigs move around as the Guide Stone bounce around and Revvit then cuts the vine and swings down to retrieve the Guide Stone. After successfully pass the Gearwigs but Wings points at the light coming up and Gearwigs begins to move away which means that Revvit should have waited.
