'''Spark''' (スパーク, ''su-pā-ku'') is a member of the Liner Team, six locomotive Micromasters who can combine to form [[Sixliner]]. The Liner Team fight alongside [[Star Convoy]], [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]] and [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] to protect the universe from the forces of the mighty [[Dark Nova]].


In an alternate-timeline/universe, Spark is a young soldier who takes pride in his speed. He thinks he can overcome anything because of his youth, and acts more rowdy than he should because of it. Among his teammates, he gets along best with [[Leaf]], and they often act in concert. In defiance of his name, Spark has the ability to manipulate water.
'''Spark''' (スパーク, ''su-pā-ku'') is the youngest of the [[Sixliner|Liner Team]], and he acts it. Brash and impulsive, he tends to solve problems with action. He and [[Leaf]] compliment each other's abilities and styles well in battle; Spark has the ability to manipulate water, and mixed with Leaf's wind-controlling skill, the two can plow through [[Decepticon]] formations easily.

It took a small... ACCIDENT to make it happen. An ACCIDENT!

Spark (スパーク, su-pā-ku) is the youngest of the Liner Team, and he acts it. Brash and impulsive, he tends to solve problems with action. He and Leaf compliment each other's abilities and styles well in battle; Spark has the ability to manipulate water, and mixed with Leaf's wind-controlling skill, the two can plow through Decepticon formations easily.

Toys

Return of Convoy

  • Sixliner (Micromaster Sixteam, 1991)
    • Japanese ID number: C-370
Originally released in a giftset with his fellow Micromaster trains, Spark transforms into a Tōkaidō bullet train locomotive. His rear hitch allows him to connect end-to-end with his teammates D-Go, Night and Leaf. His rear socket-hitch allows him to connect end-to-end with any fellow train or combiner kibble weapon with a peg-hitch. He can forms the chest of either of the train-team combiners, but his nominal placement is as the chest of Sixliner.
This mold was retooled to make Desire and Universe Railspike.


Micromaster Collection

  • Spark (Micromaster, 2002)
    • Sixliner ID number: 2
    • Accessories: Sixliner right foot
Spark and his teammates were re-released in Japan in 2002 as the first assortment of the Micromaster Collection, this time in identical individual boxes, identifiable only by the number on his instruction sheet visible through a small hole in the box. Like the rest of the Micromaster Collection figures, D-Go's stickers were either replaced with tampographs or dropped entirely, though he gained several new pieces of deco in exchange, especially in train mode.


Notes

  • Spark, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster Collection release a decade after his original Return of Convoy release.
