Fiction
Generation 1 toy bio
Glitch is an all-terrain battle drone, armed with stun lasers and a photon gun. He is 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. More than Meets the Eye
In cannon 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-laser and photon gun arms, Glitch is quite the intimidating little bugger.

- Rollout with Glitch (Action Master, 1990)
- Part of the first wave of "basic" carded Action Masters, Glitch turns from a bipedal robotty thing with gun-arms to an "electro-magnetic 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 with his larger partner, Rollout.
Notes
- The Action Master partner robots were given the "Targetmaster" classification retroactively by Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile series.
