When Cancer ran away from the Decepticons (with Browning in tow), Black Zarak came after him, taking a trio of Sparkdashes with him into the city to find and kill the runaway. The three fire-breathing creatures were fairly easily dispatched by the Autobots, but it was Overlord who ultimately beat Black Zarak and rescued Cancer!

- Javil (Sparkdash, 1988)
- Japanese ID number: D-321
- A redeco of the Firecon Sparkstalker, Javil transforms into a fairly organic-looking insect-monster. A friction-motor in his beast-mode belly rolls him forward while shooting "cold" sparks from his maw.
[edit] Triva
- "Javil" is apparently a Japanglish "pun", a combo of ja'aku (evil) and, well, either "evil" or "devil".
- All of the Decepticon Sparkdash molds have indentions on their beast-mode legs seemingly meant for a rubsign. But both Hasbro and Takara stopped using rubsigns after 1987, so the spaces are "filled" with normal faction sigil decals.
