There is a minor variant to the gun that has popped up in some EU and Canadian samples, though it's a bit harder to notice than most of the other gun variants: both versions have the "78" ID number stamped on the left-hand side on the grip under the main barrel, but the common version has the number much larger in the center of the part, while the variant is a fair bit smaller and pushed left toward the barrel front.		: This toy was actually released in [[Hasbro]]'s ''Battle Beasts'' line as part of the "Shadow Warriors" series, but they saw ''extremely'' limited distribution, largely hitting clearance chains in the US, plus limited releases in parts of Europe.

	'''Sparkshark''' (スパークシャーク ''Supākushāku'') ~~is a [[Laser Beast]] of~~ the ~~Sawshark Clan and marine attack officer in the Laser Beast army~~.

			Captain of the Laser Beast Maritime Strike Force, '''Sparkshark''' (スパークシャーク ''Supākushāku'') relishes fighting on the ocean waves. A hot-blooded warrior, he finds immense satisfaction in defeating a tough foe, and often loses himself in the heat of battle. A fast swimmer, the saw-like teeth on his snout can cut through tough armor with ease, allowing him to sink enemy boats by himself. His [[MVP Weapon]] is the particularly cruel Black Spark Laser (ブラックスパークレーザー ''Burakku Supāku Rēzā''), which with the proper charge, can tear living beings to shreds, leaving their weapons and armor untouched.

			This battle lust often obscures a keen intellect and passion for medical research. Given his rather... ''intense'' personality, one can only imagine the ''exact'' nature of said research.
