Twitch
- Twitch is a Terran from the EarthSpark continuity family.
Twitch Malto arose from the waters of Earth with an inquisitive mind, a keen memory, and a fierce competitive streak. Twitch is enthusiastic, exuberant, and eager to learn… but she’s also determined to be the best, and unafraid to use her knowledge to get the upper hand in whatever she deems a competition. This take-charge attitude can sometimes land her in unpredictable situations; fortunately, she’s fast on her feet, clever enough to formulate a plan on the fly, and armed with an array of high-tech Cybertronian gadgets while in her drone alternate mode.
As a member of the Malto family, Twitch is close to her adoptive brother Robby; unlike her Terran brother Thrash, however, she also possesses a close connection with Wheeljack, the inventor of her alternate mode, whom she views as a “second father” of sorts.

Twitch and Thrash were brought online when Robby and Mo made contact with a mysterious rock. While the Terrans were initially afraid of the kids,they quickly warmed up to them.
When an Arachnamech attacked the group, Twitch destroyed incapacitated it with a built in blaster. Afterwards, she and Thrash were hidden inside the Maltos barn lest their parents find out about them.
Twitch and Thrash spend the whole night reading comics, but are unable to learn about being a Transformer from it. The next morning, they wake Robby up, and Twitch hid from Dot under a van (which she tries and fails to convert into). Later, she and Thrash listen to Alex Malto's story of the Great War, but end up perplexed by it as they don't see their place in it, wanting to learn about Earth instead.Secret Legacy, Part 1
