:''Sparkplug is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada]] section of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].

[[Image:Sparkplug-AR-DVD.jpg|right|thumb|300px| HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAAAAY!]]

'''Sparkplug''' is a good-natured, energetic young [[Mini-Con]] who through the fates of war has become partnered with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], leader of the [[Autobot]]s. Through this, and his heroic actions, he's become something of a leader to his fellow Mini-Cons.

:''Japanese name:'' '''Prime'''

==Fiction==
===''Armada''===
===Animated continuity===

Soon after arriving on [[Earth]], both the Autobots and Decepticons detect a Mini-Con signal located in the [[Grand Canyon]]. The Autobots are at a considerable disadvantage during the inevitable confrontation due to the Decepticon strength in numbers and the fact they must protect their human passengers. But with the help of the kids, Optimus Prime manages to find the Mini-Con panel, whose occupant turns out of be Sparkplug, Optimus Prime's old Mini-Con ally and friend. Together, they Powerlink, activating Optimus's powerful Maximum Blast which sends the Decepticons into retreat. {{Storylink|Comrade}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Having miraculously avoided capture, Sparkplug is instrumental in helping the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] free his Mini-Con brethren from their initial imprisonment by the [[Decepticon]]s.

===Transformers Playstation 2 Game===

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Optimus Prime with Sparkplug''' (Super, 2002/2003)
: ''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MC-01'''

: Sparkplug transforms into a Lamborghini Diablo sportscar. His robot mode bears a passing resemblance to the [[Generation 1]] [[Autobot]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s cartoon model. He was only available with his larger partner Optimus Prime. The [[Takara]] release made a minor change to Sparkplug's deco, giving him medium-gray windows rather than the dark purple of the [[Hasbro]] version.

: This mold was used to make [[Atlas]] and [[Drop-Test]].

*'''Prime Super Mode''' (Mini-Con, 2003)

: The August 2003 issue of ''TV Boy'' magazine in Japan came with a special promotional "powered up" [[redeco]] of the Sparkplug toy in green. It also came with a little cardboard roadway and punch-out "targets" of various Decepticons for him to knock over.
: According to the brief ''Transformers'' section of the magazine, Sparkplug takes on this coloration when the other Mini-Cons give him their strength. When [[Powerlinx]]ed to Super Optimus Prime in this mode, Prime's cannon fires a powerful energy blast that takes the shape of Sparkplug's robot mode.

*'''Powerlinx Optimus Prime with Corona Sparkplug''' (Super, 2003)

: For the "[[Powerlinx]]" redeco of Optimus Prime, the original Sparkplug was [[retool]]ed into a Cybertronic sportscar with roof-lights, and given a gold-chrome finish. (This finish seems to be a lot more durable than the chrome found on the [[Transmetal]] toys, being very resistant to flaking.) It as the only part of the set that was retooled, possibly because the yellow parts of Sparkplug are on their own mold-set, meaning an easy change to make (there are no other yellow-plastic parts to Super Optimus Prime).

: This mold was used to make [[Chrome]], [[Synapse]] and [[Road Rebel]].

*'''Battle for the Matrix''' (Multi-pack, 2003)

: Released on "Black Friday" (the day after Thanksgiving), this K-Mart store [[exclusive]] bundled together Super Optimus Prime, Sparkplug, [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], [[Comettor]], the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]] and (oddly enough) [[Longarm (Armada)|Longarm]]. This release of Sparkplug is identical to the original; out of the entire set, only Optimus received a deco change.

===Energon===
*'''Optimus Prime and [[Overload (Armada)|Overload]] with Corona Sparkplug and [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]]''' (Multi-pack, 2004)

: Part of a very large CostCo exclusive set, this release of Corona Sparkplug is near-identical to the original release, despite the extensive color changes made to Optimus.

==Trivia==
* Sparkplug's robot mode design appears to be a homage to [[Bumblebee (G1)|G1 Bumblebee]]'s cartoon model, with a similar head, "pipe" biceps, hood-feet and roof-chest. Well, and being yellow. His own cartoon model kind of downplays the similarity of the noggin.
