Description

glitch is probably one of my better sonic OCs and i wanted to draw it looking a bit more
sympathetic?
than its old art.

because it's a stompy robot teddy bear and i love it.

to those of you just joining us:
test type of GUN's attempts to steal recreate and improve upon the Artificial Chaos from the ARK. Because Synthesized Chaos-Based Automaton A-001 Test Type is a mouthful, it got the nickname glitch for its unfortunate habit of, immediately after its activation, going abloodyhoo uncontrollable.
It would have been deactivated, but because of the inherent entropy involved in making a Chaos-based robot, it appeared to have some level of self-awareness, and, well... you try employing E-123 Omega and not worry about the ramifications and consequences of deactivating and burying a self-aware robot.

So they reinforced and rebuilt its frame to better protect its core and removed most of its battle tendencies. It basically lives on extended probation, collecting information and data in the area around one of GUN's presumed bases of operation near Capital City. Hilariously enough, it's pretty much strictly lawful good (see, it's funny, because despite being Chaos-based, it's not chaotic. Eh? Ehhhh?) and loyal to GUN.

It likes chao and has an entire production line of robots, 'Artificial Chaos v2', that look similar but not identical to it. These, unlike the test type, do not seem to be self-aware. It copes pretty well with this. Benefits of being a robot, one supposes: the ability to deal with the fact that you have non-sapient borderline-clones being churned out by your creators.

It can generally hold itself together without its casing (far right on the bottom) because of woogie chaos magic and science combining to keep it self-adhering (its 'hands' have the little orbs in them, which are controlled by the main brain/core apparatus. technology in the sonic universe is basically magic just go with it.) but because this puts it in a much more vulnerable state, it's probably not going to stay like that if it can help it.

It's mostly androgynous, potentially veering masculine, but it's a robot and has no concept or use for gender. Don't make me talk about gender politics regarding robots. Nobody will win that argument.

Wow, this is putting a creative twist on specifics of the series. It does make sense that G.U.N. would've probably kept captive at least one Artificial Chaos or tried to create their own from what they obtained from Gerald. I doubt they'd be able to get it perfect but this does seem like a possible close call at it. And he's not OP or anything.

I approve of this, Glitch seems awesome, and I can even imagine him being in a Sonic game too!
