Pyro / Spark (01-17-09)
Transformer of the Day for January 17, 2009
PYRO / SPARK
-Faction: Autobot
-Era: Generation One Plus (1991-1992)
-Function: Obliterator
-Motto: “Think of the most awful, unspeakable menace you can - and then double it. That’s what we’re up against”
-Notable Toy: European Exclusive (Hasbro, 1993)
Notes: After Action Masters, Hasbro stopped manufacturing Transformers for North American shelves until the arrival of Generation Two in 1993. Europe, however, was a different story, and region-specific products continued to trickle out. Pyro, later incorporated into the G2 line as Spark, was just such a rarity - a European only Transformer that could justifiably be called Gen 1.5.
