Revision as of 16:31, 7 September 2021

The Sparkless are zombies from the War for Cybertron Trilogy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
*chuckles* I'm in danger.

If you ever find yourself deep into the chasms of the Sea of Rust, then you better prepare for the Sparkless! These reanimated corpses, shockingly, have no spark, and still hunt for the sparks of the living to this day. Rusted and busted beyond repair, the Sparkless still have great enough strength to rip someone apart. They cannot be destroyed by simple fire blasts or slashing, so hope for a miracle or fraggin' run!

Toys

War for Cybertron Trilogy

File:WFC Netflix Sparkless Bot.jpg
Cosmic Rust included?
  • Sparkless Bot (Deluxe Class, 2021)
    • Accessories: Left & right blasters, light bar
Part of the third assortment of toys promoting the Kingdom season of the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon, "Sparkless Bot" is a redeco of Siege Barricade, itself a retool of Siege Prowl, transforming into a Cybertronian emergency car. It has multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts to accommodate the C.O.M.B.A.T. System/F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology weaponry and "Fire Blast" effects, respectively. Its two blasters can be mounted on these points, or the slots on his hood/shoulders, as well as combine into a larger double-barreled blaster. It also includes a light bar that can be mounted on its roof or wherever else you care to. The bar has an indent in its top that, despite being rectangular, still fits 5 mm posts very well.
This mold was previously redecoed as Smokescreen with Prowl's blaster and without the light-bar, which was also used for Bluestreak, albeit with the original Prowl head.
This toy, like most of the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, is a Walmart exclusive in the U.S. and Canada. Like the rest of its Deluxe Class wave, Sparkless Bot was found in Walmart stores on March 13, before an official unveiling.

Dead Air.
Part of the third assortment of toys promoting the Kingdom season of the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon, "Sparkless Seeker" is a redeco of Siege Thundercracker, itself a head retool of Siege Starscream. It transforms into a Cybertronian "tetrajet" based on the Seekers' appearance in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1" although the jet mode has the robot-mode legs pretty much its entire robot body sticking out from the undercarriage. As a rather heavy shellformer, the Sparkless Seeker can easily be separated into both a wingless robot mode and a nearly complete tetrajet via a single friction hinge.
It has 5 mm ports on its biceps, forearms, shins, under its feet (vehicle-mode thrusters), and wings to attach any C.O.M.B.A.T. System/F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology weaponry, such as the included Battle Masters and/or the "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers." The 3 mm posts on its shins, forearms, left bicep, and the tips of his null-rays can accommodate "Fire Blast" effect parts, like the ones that come with his pack-in partners, Battle Masters "Sparkless Caliburst" and "Sparkless Singe".
This toy, like most of the Netflix War for Cybertron Trilogy toys, is a Walmart exclusive in the U.S. and Canada. Much like its wavemate, Optimus Primal, Sparkless Seeker was also available on Hasbro Pulse in limited quantities. Both sets' stock photography and product descriptions were found in Walmart internal systems three days before an official unveiling for pre-order on March 15.

Notes

Green Seeker guy, no limbs.
  • The nature of the Sparkless is never explained, though a lot of the details surrounding their existence is somewhat reminiscent of Dark Energon; what with the glowing purple optics and the entire surrounding area being filled with large purple crystals.
  • Par for the course with War for Cybertron Trilogy's extensive use of generics, the Sparkless's models are edited and retextured models of Sideswipe, Mirage, Ironhide, Hound, and Barricade, highly accurate to the toy molds. As per tradition, there are also Sparkless resembling edited and retextured Refraktors and Seekers.
  • Despite the show having both Autobots and Decepticons as part of the Sparkless, their toys have only listed them as Decepticons. This was probably done to market them as villains, similar to what the Cyberverse toyline did with the Pesticons and Sharkticons.
  • The color scheme of the Sparkless Seeker toy seems closer to one of the generic Seeker color schemes seen in the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon, notably the Seeker without limbs under Ratchet's care in Siege episode 3.
