Notes

• You're reading this page right. At no point in the entire original G1 cartoon or original G1 comic was the mother of Spike and wife of Sparkplug ever seen or mentioned. Her debut in IDW in 2008 is a first for the Transformers brand.
• However, the Sunbow cartoon production bible states that Sparkplug is a widower.
