	*It is never stated outright, but the implication of how the [[Autobot Brothers\|3 Car Robo Brothers]] first acquired their Spark Engines is that they received them upon being struck by the sudden burst of [[Energon Matrix]] energy from [[Ultra Magnus (RID)\|God Magnus]] in [[The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus\|Episode 27]] of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)\|Car Robots]]''. This is made more apparent by the original Japanese toy bios of their [[X-Brawn#Super\|Super]] [[Prowl (RID)#SuperProwl\|Mode]] [[Side Burn (RID)#Super\|toys]] attributing the attainment of their new Super Modes in the episode to the three of them having been "newly outfitted with a Spark Engine". It's just that the Spark Engines are simply never mentioned when this happens (their sole mention in the cartoon came [[Gelshark's Blues\|''eight'' episodes later]], in a [[clip show]], even), nor are they ever actually shown onscreen, so what the Spark Engines even look like is completely unknown.		*It is never stated outright, but the implication of how the [[Autobot Brothers\|3 Car Robo Brothers]] first acquired their Spark Engines is that they received them upon being struck by the sudden burst of [[Energon Matrix]] energy from [[Ultra Magnus (RID)\|God Magnus]] in [[The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus\|Episode 27]] of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)\|Car Robots]]''.
