Glide (G1)
- Glide is a Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Glide (グライド, gu-ra-i-do) is having a lot of fun while he's stationed on Earth. Easy-going and cheerful, he's often found cruising the streets in his sleek vehicle mode, gathering intelligence on enemy actions... and offering rides to pretty human women. He insists it's all part of the job, and is utterly dependable in combat, so he usually doesn't get much grief for his behavior.
Fiction
Micromaster Collection
Like most of the Turbo Team, Glide was infected with the Reverse Evolution virus, presumably though contact with Road Police, Circuit, Neo-Wheel, or Discharge. The virus turned him into a Decepticon, and he went about causing random destruction with his teammates. Sireen tricked Glide and the others into combining with him to form Sixturbo, then restored them all to normal with an antivirus program. Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!
Later still, Road Police and Glide's investigation of a mysterious Decepticon attack led to the discovery of Decepticon Sixbuilder. Sixbuilder – Warrior of Misfortune!?
Operation: Combination
Years later, Glide and the rest of the Six-team Micromasters joined Guard City and the Road Corps in defending Earth from the forces of the Decepticon Führer Scrash. Operation Combination
