Explanation of the conversion: Glyph can only fly in robot mode, whereas her wheels only work in vehicle mode.

Glyph and Tap-Out History: Glyph was sent on a scientific research mission by Rodimus Prime. Worried about her safety security chief Kup assigned Tap-Out as her body guard.

One of the final survivors of a doomed Autobot exploration mission, Glyph has spent three hundred years stranded on a world that has become, for her, not unlike an immense science experiment.

Glyph and Tap-Out were discovered by the Wreckers commanded by Primal Prime.

Trivia: The toy of Glyph is very similar to that of Bumblebee and Bug Bite. The Glyph toy came as part of a keychain, and was only sold at the Botcon 2002 convention.

Glyph Powers: A natural researcher and forensic scientist, Glyph's advanced hermeneutic circuitry allows her to analyze and decipher even the most cryptic of patterns and language structures. Exceptionally bright and intellectual, Glyph maintains a nearly manic attentiveness to detail. Fascinated by the sheer complexity of alien cultures and their histories, Glyph's eye for even the most obscure of minutiae has become unmatched among her colleagues.

She carries a small laser pistol, which she can operate in either form. Glyph sometimes utilizes a standard Autobot jet pack.

Weaknesses: Glyph sometimes lets her scientific curiosity get the best of her. She is not very strong or tough in general. She has minimal firepower.
