Guzzles are Decepticon Sparkdash drones from the Super-God Masterforce portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

What do you mean Gamera's on vacation?!

The Guzzle (ガズル Gazuru) is one style of Decepticon Sparkdash drone. They attack in mass numbers, using their "Earth Fire" to melt the ground before them and cause flames to shoot up beneath their enemies' feet.

Fiction

Super-God Masterforce cartoon

Godzilla's back-up singers

As Ginrai and Road King fought BlackZarak in China, the powerful Decepticon summoned one of each of the three Sparkdash Decepticons to aid him. Although the Autobots were briefly taken aback by the arrival of the new enemies, the Sparkdash quickly proved to be as fragile as the Seacons. When Ginrai scored a single hit on the Guzzle, it promptly exploded, and Road King quickly took out the remaining drones. God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?

Multiple Guzzles were among the Sparkdash and Seacon legions that backed up the Decepticons when they staged an attack on North America from within the Grand Canyon. Shūta Gō, Cab, Minerva and Cancer were badly outnumbered by the huge robot swarm, but help soon arrived in the form of Wilder and Bullhorn, who added enough extra firepower to wipe out the Decepticon drones.

Super-God Masterforce comic

When BlackZarak attacked a city where Cancer went to, he brought one of each Sparkdash drone to join him in the destruction he wrought. As the Sparkdash set the city aflame, the Autobot Godmasters arrived to thwart their fiery felony. Charging through a huge jet of combined flame from the Sparkdash, the Godmasters tackled the drones, and Ginrai flattened the Guzzle with one swing of his huge fist.

• Guzzle (Sparkdash, 1988)

• ID number: D-319
• Known designers: Takashi Kunihiro (TakaraTomy)

Sold during the Masterforce portion of the Takara Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Guzzle transforms into a green and grey lizard-monster, notable for the unusual organic relief that decorates its head and limbs. In creature mode, Guzzle can be rolled forward on a small wheel in his belly, activating a friction motor that causes "cold" sparks to shoot from his mouth.

This mold was sold concurrently in Hasbro markets as the Firecon Cindersaur, with purple and yellow plastic in place of Guzzle's green and grey.

Notes

Nope, not Hojoni.

• Despite the fact that the toy features a unique color scheme, when Guzzles appear in the Masterforce animated series, they are colored in the purple and yellow hues of their American counterpart, Cindersaur. Of course, they're far from being the only characters in the Masterforce cartoon with non-toy-accurate colors. Even the Masterforce toy catalog's photos use the Hasbro coloration.
• Much like Masterforce's Seacons, the Sparkdash are never depicted in robot mode in either the cartoon or manga. The toy's package art, seen at right, is the only known "fictional" depiction of a Guzzle in robot mode.
• All of the Decepticon Sparkdash molds have indentations 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.
