- Glowstrike is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Some Decepticon leaders are bloodthirsty tyrants, others are ambitious schemers, but Glowstrike doesn't fall into either category. Cold and aloof, Glowstrike runs her platoon of Decepticons stringently and efficiently. She prefers to delegate her work to her underlings, whom she holds to very high standards. They'll finish their mission to the best of their ability... or they won't return at all. That said, those that do distinguish themselves in the field will be rewarded with well-deserved promotions, as Steeljaw can attest.
For those less-inclined Decepticons, Glowstrike isn't above using threats if the situation calls for it. Her ability to fire bolts of energy from her palms is always a great motivator. Even so, she's found herself largely displeased with the mismatched mob of Decepticon castaways stranded on Earth.
