| This article is about the Autobot Sparkabot. For the Decepticon Sparkdash, see Guzzle (Masterforce). |
- Guzzle is an Autobot Sparkabot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
A battle-hardened survivor of the software wars of Polyhex, Guzzle is a warrior through and through. A tough, no nonsense soldier, he has little time or tolerance for those who can't or won't fight.
The only thing that equals his hunger for combat is his hunger for fuel, as Guzzle unfortunately lives up to his name. He has considerable fuel consumption due to both the way he throws himself into battle and his incredibly fuel inefficient systems.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Guzzle journeyed to Earth with his fellow Sparkler Mini-Bots to observe and record the actions and whereabouts of Galvatron. Their observation mission was interrupted in Florida by the Firecons, who had an offer to make the future Decepticon and didn't want any interference. Guzzle spent a few minutes running around like a robo-chicken with his head cut off before remembering, oh yeah, he could turn into a tank! The tide of battle quickly turned, but ultimately ended when Galvatron dismissed both groups with little more than a wave of his hand. Enemy Action!
After quickly checking tactics with the other Sparklers (Hey! Can YOU guys change into tanks too?! No?), Guzzle and company decided to seek out more firepower and freed Ultra Magnus from his volcanic cocoon. Salvage! They returned to Cybertron to gather the Wreckers as reinforcements, only to find the city of Kalis absolutely deserted along with the Autobot base there...deserted because of the living dead! They fought the zombies City of Fear! and eventually stopped them after linking up with the Wreckers. Meltdown!
The Sparklers and Magnus intended to join the Wreckers in going to Earth to stop Galvatron once and for all, but when an Autobot patrol discovered the corpse of their scout Chameleon, they traveled to Tyrest to investigate. There they stumbled upon an illegal gladiatorial combat racket being run in Cybertron's old Jekka Amphitheatre. Captured by the alien Zabra and his Firecon allies, the three Sparklers were forced to wait in prison while Ultra Magnus fought a massive, multi-armed alien. Guzzle and Fizzle faked a violent argument, drawing the guard near and giving Sizzle the chance to knock him cold. One quick escape later, the Sparklers decided to stick around and help Magnus stop the death-games rather than catch the dimensional alignment that the Wreckers used to jump to Earth. This turned out to be the right course of action, as they were just in time to blast several Decepticons who were about to shoot Magnus in the back. Deadly Games!
Left behind on Cybertron,Guzzle was last seen rusting away in a Decepticon detention facility with his fellow Sparkabots and the Triggerbots. Ca$h and Car-nage!
In an alternate year 2009, Guzzle was one of only seven Autobots left alive on Earth. He was killed by Cyclonus, but it looks like he actually might've been the one to kill Scourge first, so that's pretty darn impressive on its own. At the very least, he held his own longer than Getaway. Rhythms of Darkness!
Toys
Generation 1
- Guzzle (Sparkabot, 1988)
- Guzzle transforms into a ROF Challenger 1 tank. As a Sparkabot, in this mode he has a friction-motor gimmick that not only propels his vehicle mode forward, but causes "cold" sparks to shoot from his back end.
- It is worth noting that even though his arm-treads have spaces for small wheels to assist in rolling, he doesn't actually have the wheels, which can lead to the plastic being scraped off his arms, and even his chest.
- This mold was also used to make Hardspark.
