"Assisted suicide? Nah, this is just his Breast Animal, Crabbreast!"

The Sparkeater is a weapon that can, among other things, administer euthanasia through the "painless" draining of a being's life force. It was created by Roadbuster, who presumably named it after the Sparkeaters of legend.

Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

When Springer gathered the Wreckers for a mission to Garrus-9, Roadbuster couldn't attend because he was too busy developing the Sparkeater. Bullets After its completion, the Wrecker Whirl attempted to use the weapon to euthanize Springer when the latter was paralyzed, out of a belief that the former leader of the Wreckers was a goner, but he was caught by Roadbuster and castigated.
