Wildspark

Wildspark is an Autobot Sparkdash from the Masterforce portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Presenting the further adventures of everybody's favorite superhero, the man who is faster than lightning, stronger than steel, smarter than a speeding bullet... it's Super Grover!

Aptly named, Wildspark tears through the roughest terrain with the same skill as the Godmaster Ranger, but without the human's respect for nature. Loud and rowdy, the sound of this wild-bot's engine is disorienting enough to immobilize foes briefly. This gives him the perfect opportunity to use his "Rolling Backfire" attack, spinning around the stunned target, laying down an ever-shrinking ring of fire.

Toys

Generation 1

• Wildspark (Sparkdash, 1988)
  • Japanese ID number: C-315

Wildspark is almost identical to the Hasbro Sparkabot Fizzle, with only a yellow robot-mode face to differentiate the two (Fizzle has red face paint). He transforms into a Baja off-road buggy. By pushing him forward in car mode, "cold" sparks shoot from his back end thanks to a friction-motor that also propels him forward once released.

This mold was also used to make Blaze.

Notes

• The Masterforce pack-in toy catalog photo for Wildspark actually shows his Hasbro counterpart, Fizzle.
