Fiction
Super-God Masterforce cartoon
As Ginrai and Road King fought BlackZarak in China, the powerful Decepticon summoned one of each of the three Sparkdash Decepticons to aid him. Although the Autobots were briefly taken aback by the arrival of the new enemies, the Sparkdash quickly proved to be as fragile as the Seacons, allowing Road King to take out the Sizzle with one shot. God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?
Multiple Sizzles were among the Sparkdash and Seacon legions that backed up the Decepticons when they staged an attack on North America from within the Grand Canyon. Shūta Gō, Cab, Minerva and Cancer were badly outnumbered by the huge robot swarm, but help soon arrived in the form of Wilder and Bullhorn, who added enough extra firepower to wipe out the Decepticon drones.

Super-God Masterforce comic
When BlackZarak attacked China, he brought one of each Sparkdash drone to join him in the destruction he wrought. As the Sparkdash set the city aflame, the Autobot Godmasters arrived to thwart their fiery felony.

Toys
Generation 1
- Sizzle (Sparkdash, 1988)
- Japanese ID number: D-320
- Sizzle transforms into a white and blue bird-monster, notable for the unusual organic relief that decorates its head and limbs. In creature mode, Sizzle 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 Flamefeather, with no significant differences between the two.
Notes
- Much like Masterforce's Seacons, the Sparkdash are never depicted in robot mode in either the cartoon or manga. The toy's package art is the only known "fictional" depiction of a Sizzle in robot mode.
