- Guzzle (Sparkdash, 1988)
- ID number: D-319
- Known designers: Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)
- Sold during the Masterforce portion of the Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Guzzle transforms into a green and grey lizard-monster, notable for the unusual organic relief that decorates its head and limbs. In creature mode, Guzzle 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 Cindersaur, with purple and yellow plastic in place of Guzzle's green and grey.
Notes
[edit]
- Despite the fact that the toy features a unique color scheme, when Guzzles appear in the Masterforce animated series, they are colored in the purple and yellow hues of their American counterpart, Cindersaur. Of course, they're far from being the only characters in the Masterforce cartoon with non-toy-accurate colors. Even the Masterforce toy catalog's photos use the Hasbro coloration.
- Much like Masterforce's Seacons, the Sparkdash are never depicted in robot mode in either the cartoon or manga. The toy's package art, seen at right, is the only known "fictional" depiction of a Guzzle 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.
