Yeah, Sparks is older than sparks. He was first released as Pyro in ... 1993, looks like, but underwent a rename to Sparks for G2 in... 1994. IE, pre-Beast Wars. (It's, far as I can tell, sort of like the Bluestreak / Silverstreak thing. They call him Silverstreak on the toys now because they don't own "Bluestreak", but for other stuff, like the comics, he's still Bluestreak. ... Now just replace Silverstreak with Sparks and Bluestreak with Pyro.)


That is a good era to love! BUT G1 IS SO RIDICULOUSLY, STUPIDLY AWESOME and technically the same continuity family... SOME DAY I WILL GET YOU. And Animated is awesome in a "not stupidly ridiculous" way! AND - I'll stop now.
