Glowstrike
- 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 a well-deserved promotions, as Scorponok and Saberhorn 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. Although Glowstrike's a capable commander, she doesn't always realize when she's being manipulated, which might allow some to carve out a position of power right under her nose.

Glowstrike and Scorponok established a group of Decepticons in a crashed starship on Earth and set them about collecting materials to get them off the planet. She was left disappointed with the performances of Saberhorn and Kickback, even shooting at the latter, but was shortly afterwards introduced to Steeljaw. Metal Meltdown After Steeljaw sprang a slew of Alchemor escapees from Denny Clay's scrapyard, a pleased Glowstrike inspected the new recruits. She was impressed with (almost) all of them. Scorponok was captured in the prison break, but thanks to Steeljaw's manipulation Glowstrike assumed that her Decepticon comrade had turned traitor. Misdirection
Returning from a mission with Saberhorn, Glowstrike congratulated Steeljaw on his recent victories. As a reward, she offered him a position in her growing command hierarchy. To prove his loyalty, she had him attack a Sharkticon, who had apparently been planning against her. Convinced that Steeljaw would serve her well, she instructed him to find a way to access the Decepticon hunters located in the ship's locked armory.Portals
