Set Information

Throwbots artwork for the set

The Spark Slizer set was released in 2000 as part of the Slizer line. The set was known as Spark in America, where it was instead part of the Throwbots line. In addition to its 33 pieces, the set comes with a purple-and-black carrying case and a poster, the latter also being found in the other two mutant Slizer sets - 8521 Flare Slizer and 8523 Blaster Slizer.

The pieces of the set can be combined with 8521 Flare Slizer and 8523 Blaster Slizer to create a fusion, advertised in the Throwbots line as Dynamo. While the combiner model is advertised in the instructions manual and on the included poster, instructions to create it are not included.

Features

The Spark Slizer has a flexible arm which can launch one of the included throwing discs. Turning a gear on the Spark Slizer's back moves its head and arms up and down and transforms it into "compact mode." This form allows it to fit inside its carrying case for storage.

In the story, the set's carrying case represents a flying transport, although this is never depicted for the Spark Slizer. The carrying case also includes indentations to store extra disc, and can be attached to a belt.

Collectibles

The Spark Slizer set contains two printed discs: A glow-in-the-dark level 3 disc depicting the Slizer itself, and a glow-in-the-dark level 4 disc.
