Come on. I know Spark seems like a weird name to have, considering the whole 'life force' thing, but do keep in mind "spark" has other meanings and, perhaps more importantly, that sparks didn't exist in canon until Beast Wars retconned them into existence in 1996. (That said, if you're just having fun with it, knock yourselves out.)



I am ridiculously glad the BotCon set is G2-themed and hope it continues to include characters I don't especially care about in paint schemes I find hilariously painful. ... OKAY SO THAT SECOND PART IS KIND OF A GIVEN. Still.






ALSO, KINDA LATE, BUT it's free cone day at Ben & Jerry's! Get to a scoop shop before 8 pm!

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.
