Well sparks are soul analogues not brain analogues so it would suggest more that they are not Primus-Born Transformers but there's no reason they couldn't be Sentient or Sapient.
-ZacWilliam, Humans ain't got Sparks either.

Every instance of sparks acting like ghosts (or of Transformers ghosts at all, really), or of "old spark in new body" being the same individual as the spark's previous owner, suggests that sparks are minds too.
(Even though instances of Transformers being reprogrammed, or not having their memories when an old spark is put in a new body, suggests the opposite.)

...No? He wasn't.
That's what he was in the UK comics.
In the US comics, he was this made-up original design:

Wasn't sure if it was UK or US. I was going more based off his alt mode.

Had to take a long call at work so I missed Vector Prime on pulse.
Decided to go with Entainment Earth, but I only wanted Vector Prime and Nucleous, which was like $20 short of free shipping, and wouldn't you know it, shipping was $20, so I figured I'd get just get another deluxe for essentially $5. But unfortunately, every deluxe they had in stock or on preorder I already got.
Trying to decide if I even want to bother anymore.

Yeah, it was the US comic, but we got the US stories reprinted (with a delay). The story was published March 1986 in the Marvel US comic, and July/August 1986 here in the UK comic. I definitely noticed the similarity with Galvatron at the time, as the action figure was creeping into retail here. Looking at the timings, I wouldn’t have been surprised if artist Don Perlin had seen the official character art for Galavtron and modified the design a bit.
Regarding sparks and brain modules, I gather what information the body collects and processes through the brain goes straight to the spark but a spark when placed in a new body can be suppressed like Blackarachnia's shell program or the Vehicons personality programming. Basically they are energy being in armor.
You don't (read: I wouldn't). He looks okay for a retool, but where's Safeguard, and why isn't the front of his ship mode filled in? There's just a divot left where Jhiaxus' nosecone was. Really shitty, imo. Robot mode is great but too many compromises to be worth chasing him down to that degree. Tbh, he's an "eh, if I see him deeply, deeply discounted, I might consider it."
That works really well. I like what they did with the pickaxe / gun barrel.
Newage is full of crazy ideas like that. They did a backwards remold of their Cyclonus into Depth Charge and it works.
I have mixed feelings on Vector Prime, like how is Jhiaxus' altmode pointer then VPs' Sith Infiltrator mode? But I think I want him and I like the idea that he's reborn in a newer body. Plus mines showing his age and his wings are getting soft.
Saw there's a listing for Cybertron Sideways, which is cool but Armada Sideways needs the updated toy.

I feel like we just got a pretty solid G1 Springer a couple of years ago, not sure if I really need / want a leader class. If Sandstorm wasnt so G1 looking I would be passing on him, but he is one of the few I had leftover from the 80's and holds a special place. Id rather have seen him at Voyager size though.
I'm up for Springer, as the current version never received a clean/regular paint job.
I meant bothering with the hobby at all.
I'm just tired of the constant chase and dealing with orders and just the whole thing.
Hard agree, but I'll argue it needs to be a voyager to do the two combining headmasters/three heads feature justice.
Need both Ground Soldiers A & B. (Runaway and Runaround?)
That Seeker will make for a great stand in for Black Death / Black-Out.
