| '''Blaze''' is an oddity in the Autobot ranks; a hit man. He's a perfectionist who is always out to better his last job. An engineer back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he's found a new lease on life by targeting and blowing up [[Decepticon]] installations.
| |
| | |
| He ''loves'' this job.

| Blaze (as seen in the image above) is shown facing off against [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]] in a gatefold poster from the first issue. But that's it. And his colours were even backwards, being based on his fellow ''Generation 2'' Sparkabot [[Sizzle (G1)|Sizzle]]. Gee.

| In an apparently alternate continuity in which [[Generation 1 (franchise)|previous tales]] never happened, Blaze accompanied [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to the Brazilian rainforest to investigate a Transformer energy signature. The source of the readings turned out to be two terrifying [[Dinobot (G1)|robot dinosaurs!]]. The [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] took advantage of the Autobots' surprise, leaving Blaze the last Autobot standing; he tried to take Megatron down himself, but was swatted aside. Fortunately, the creatures revealed themselves to be the Autobots [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]], awakened for the first time since the age of the dinosaurs. The two Dinobots quickly drove off the attacking Decepticons, saving Blaze and his helpless friends. When Grimlock decided that he and Snarl would stay behind and search for their fellow Dinobots, Blaze chastised him for not joining the fight against the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Dinobots!}}

| *'''Blaze''' (Sparkabot, 1993)
| |
| | |
| : A European/Australasian-market-only [[redeco]] of the [[Sparkabot]] [[Fizzle]], Blaze transforms into an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Baja buggy|offroad Baja buggy]]. By pushing him forward in car mode, "cold" sparks shoot from his back end thanks to a friction-motor that also propels him forward.
| |
| | |
| : Blaze's card art shows his Sparkabot partner Sizzle, while Sizzle's card depicts Blaze. It is therefore arguable which ''Generation 2'' Sparkabot is which, though it can be reasonably assumed that the redeco of the original Sizzle is still Sizzle. The switch led to all sorts of trouble, as the ''Generation 2'' Sparkabots have never appeared in fiction in their proper colours.
| |
| | |
| : This mold was also used to make [[Wildspark]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * The confusion between Blaze and Sizzle carries on a tradition started in Generation 1 by Sizzle and his team-mate [[Fizzle]]. Sizzle and Fizzle used each others' colour schemes in the UK comics, but only in robot mode. Oy.
