Fiction

Generation 1 toy bio

Glitch was an all-terrain battle drone, armed with stun lasers and a photon gun. He was remote-controlled and often used for demolitions.

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Glitch is a brilliant spy, completing an impressive array of missions. Missions for which his loudmouthed, moronic partner Rollout gets the credit. Considering that Glitch not only does the work, but keeps Rollout alive, the credit distribution isn't exactly fair, but them's the breaks.

In electromagnetic rocket launcher mode, Glitch is capable of firing bursts of static electricity that can severely impede a target's cerebral functions. Using this in combination with his robot mode's stun gun and photon blaster arms, Glitch is quite the intimidating little bugger. More than Meets the Eye

• Rollout with Glitch (Action Master, 1990)

• Known designers: Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)

Part of the first wave of "basic" carded Action Masters, released in the seventh and final year of The Transformers in the US, Glitch turns from a bipedal robotty thing with gun-arms to an electromagnetic rocket launcher with a spring-loaded pop-out blaster-barrel. Like all Action Master partners, he can be held by any Action Master figure, and his barrel can be extended by attaching a figure's hand-held rifle to it. His arms are removable, held in place by the same size peg as on Action Master accessories, making them optional hand-held weapons.

Glitch was only available packed in with his larger partner Rollout.
