The name or term "Spark" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Spark (disambiguation).
Spark is an Autobot Micromaster from the Return of Convoy portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
It took a small... ACCIDENT to make it happen. An ACCIDENT!

Spark (スパーク, su-pā-ku) is the youngest of the Liner Team, and he acts it. Brash and impulsive, he tends to solve problems with action. He and Leaf complement each other's abilities and styles well in battle; Spark has the ability to manipulate water, and mixed with Leaf's wind-controlling skill, the two can plow through Decepticon formations easily.


Fiction

Micromaster Collection

Spark was one of many Cyberdroids who evolved into Micromasters thanks to a mysterious energy wave. Finding themselves on Earth, they blended into human society and fought against those Micromasters who had evolved into Decepticons. A New Transformer Legend Begins!!

Return of Convoy

Years later, Spark and the rest of the Liner Team were recruited by Sky Garry into the ranks of the Battlestars. Great Six Combination Warrior Sixliner!

None of the Liner Team ever actually show up as individuals, only as components of the combined robot Sixtrain.


Toys

Return of Convoy

  • Sixliner (Micromaster Sixteam, 1991)
    • Japanese ID number: C-370
Originally released in a giftset with his fellow Micromaster trains, Spark transforms into a Tōkaidō bullet train locomotive. His rear socket-hitch allows him to connect end-to-end with any fellow train or combiner kibble weapon with a peg-hitch. He can form the chest of either of the train-team combiners, but his nominal placement is as the chest of Sixliner.
This mold was retooled to make Desire and Universe Railspike.


Micromaster Collection

  • Spark (Micromaster, 2002)
    • Sixliner ID number: 2
    • Accessories: Sixliner right foot
Spark and his teammates were re-released in Japan in 2002 as the first assortment of the Micromaster Collection, this time in identical individual boxes, identifiable only by the number on his instruction sheet visible through a small hole in the box. Like the rest of the Micromaster Collection figures, D-Go's stickers were either replaced with tampographs or dropped entirely, though he gained several new pieces of deco in exchange, especially in train mode.

Notes

  • Spark, like all of the six-team Micromasters, had no individual bio information whatsoever until his Micromaster Collection release a decade after his original Return of Convoy release.
