That was a first. All the humans she had talked to today at least had some idea of what she was. The only explanation Rainbow could think of was that this "Japan" place of Nutty's existed so far away from Equestria that no Equestrians had ever visited it, and likewise no Japanese or Gears had ever been to Equestria. Maybe wherever they were now was somewhere in between? Sure would explain a few things... Rainbow thought, tilting her head at Nutty and squinting.
She still didn't really get the whole "Gear" thing, though. So when Red (as Rainbow was starting to call the other guy in her head) didn't seem to have anything to say, Rainbow plowed right into another question: "Wait, you mean 'made' like... Made made? Like created? How does that happen? No one would have enough magic to make creatures like that!" Rainbow was quiet for a moment, then mentally braked and backed up a step: "Well, maybe Princess Celestia could do it, but she wouldn't even if she could! She doesn't need to and she wouldn't want to!"
There was no way Princess Celestia would create any creature just to be a weapon. The Elements of Harmony were the biggest weapons in the fight for Equestrian peace, and Rainbow and her friends wielded those. Also, as much as Rainbow hated to admit it, making Gears wouldn't be Discord's style either. Why would he make weapons when he could just turn enemy swords into ice cream cones and armour into rubber duckies? Even Rainbow Dash could see that logic.

So who would create something like a Gear?
