It has small, retractable wings, and emits black smog when in use.

Personality

Many view Grandmaster Glitch as a villain, but he would disagree, citing himself as "just misunderstood". Grandmaster Glitch creates mayhems all over the world, mostly caused by him using famous landmarks to fix his own problems. On other occasions, he damages landmarks by accident due to his clumsiness.

Grandmaster Glitch does not like the Go Jetters, or any other person associated with the Go Jet Academy. He was expelled from the academy, which may have contributed to this bitterness. Glitch sees himself as good as, or even better, than the Go Jetters, and would participate in contests against them to prove his worth. Due to Glitch's strong will to win, he often resorts to cheating to ensure his victory. Although this usually provides Glitch a starting boost, the Go Jetters would eventually overcome him, much to his chagrin.

Grandmaster Glitch is rude, stubborn and arrogant. He has a big ego and likes to show off his greatness to everyone around him. He wants things to always go his way, and would do anything for reaching his goals, often disregarding the Go Jetters' and Ubercorn's warnings in the process. Most of the time, this stubborness of his would backfire onto him, causing danger for hismelf. Moreover, he does not understand how altering landmarks for his goals may cause trouble to others, and his insensitivity often leads to serious consequences.

However, Glitch is not void of positive traits. He deeply cares about his niece, and even though he acts demanding to his Grimbots, he shows his softer side when they're broken or in danger. Sometimes, after having explained why his actions are harmful to others, Glitch shows regret to what he's done and offers to make up for his mistakes, and in series 3, he starts to actively participate in some of the Go Jetters' missions, and works on rebuilding his friendship with Ubercorn.

Skills and Abilities

Grandmaster Glitch is a very creative person, though this skill of his is mostly used for evil plans. He has an unusual way of solving problems he encounters which often involves damaging landmarks; for example, he covered a building with icing to serve as his birthday cake, and used the Eiffel Tower as a TV aerial.

As an ex-student of the Go Jet Academy, Grandmaster Glitch was trained with all the essential skills that a Go Jetter should have, including Click-On usage, aviation, and biology. However, he was not good at these skills, and failed many of the academy's exams, such as the Click-On test for G.O. Force. However, he did break the reccord of the Geo Challenge during his time as a student, and is also very knowledgeable about puffins.

Grandmaster Glitch is talented at building and inventing gadgets, such as the Grim-O-Fix and the Size-Ray. He also built his own robots, which are useful for helping him on his villainous plans. His vehicle, the Grim H.Q., is also sturdy enough for him to go to space. Although his inventions often break down, Glitch is able to fix them quickly, proving himself a skillful handyman.
