Toys

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

  • Guard City (Multi-pack, 1992)
    • ID number: TF-04
    • Accessories: Pistol, left & right cannons
Released in the Operation Combination portion of the original Takara, Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Sparkride is (barely) a redeco of the original Groove, transforming into a Honda Goldwing GL1200 police motorcycle. He is almost identical to Groove, but he has different decals. Since he uses the Scramble City-style of combination, he can form the limb of any super robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the right leg of Guard City.
He was only available as a part of the complete Guard City box set, along with Fire Chief, Fly-Up, Safety, and Streetstar. As one of the very last releases of the Japanese Transformers line, at a time when pretty much everyone had stopped buying Transformers, even a loose set of the team can demand prices over a thousand dollars.

Notes

  • None of the Guard City components were given individual bios. This was actually very common by this point in the Takara Transformers line, which was loaded up with multi-packs (mainly of Micromasters) where the singular on-package bio would cover the entire team, and there was very little fiction to even attempt to highlight anyone beyond "hey cool robot that fights good".
