Agents of Doom

The Agents of Doom, known as the Glove of Doom in Ratchet & Clank, was a Gadgetron weapon which launched a round glass ball which spawned four Agents of Doom, small kamikaze robots which homed in on enemies and exploded by coming in contact with them. In addition, they would swarm to block a few types of enemy fire; however, this was unreliable as there were only a select few types they would block, and most of those types were rapid fire and would take them down quickly.

As of Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal and after, the Glove of Doom was known as the Agents of Doom.

Originally, the agents were small kamikaze robots that homed in on enemies and exploded by making contact with them, but later in Up Your Arsenal, they were upgraded to become small rocket and laser firing robots. Only 2 sets of four robots could be used at once.

Ratchet & Clank
The Glove of Doom cost 7,500 bolts. If the player had the Persuader, it could be purchased for 5,000 Bolts.

As an enemy
In Secret Agent Clank, Agents of Doom appear as enemies used by the final boss, in which Robo-Ratchet may deploy them. They are easy to destroy but also easy to avoid, as running away works as well. This is helpful for the 'A Pretty Good Likeness' skill point.

Behind the scenes
Insomniac Games claimed that this was their favorite weapon from Ratchet & Clank, which could explain the weapon's reappearance in Up Your Arsenal as the Agents of Doom.

Trivia

 * While in Eudora, it is possible to find Glove of Doom ammo from an Ammo Crate even if you didn't have the weapon yet.
