Not sure GW can have IP rights on a common everyday thing like a gear. That would be akin to saying they own the IP to generic wings, eagles, swords, skulls, Greek letters, etc. I think MAS is probably pretty safe. Now if they also put a half bone/half robotic skull in the middle of the cog... THEN I think they might have a problem. But just a plain cog/gear? I doubt it.
In any case, they look cool and will fit right in with my wip AdMech army...
