- Sizzle (Sparkdash, 1988)
- ID number: D-320
- Known designers: Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)
- Sold during the Masterforce portion of the Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Sizzle transforms into a white and blue bird-monster, notable for the unusual organic relief that decorates its head and limbs. In creature mode, Sizzle can be rolled forward on a small wheel in his belly, activating a friction motor that causes "cold" sparks to shoot from his mouth.
- This mold was sold concurrently in Hasbro markets as the Firecon Flamefeather, with no significant differences between the two.
Notes
[edit]
- Much like Masterforce's Seacons, the Sparkdash are never depicted in robot mode in either the cartoon or manga. The toy's package art is the only known "fictional" depiction of a Sizzle in robot mode.
- All of the Decepticon Sparkdash molds have indentations on their beast mode legs seemingly meant for a rubsign. But both Hasbro and Takara stopped using rubsigns after 1987, so the spaces are "filled" with normal faction sigil decals.
