Angela is a Sparkbot from the Kiss Players portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Angela, meet Rachel. Rachel, Angela.

In the year 2007, Angela, Star Dust, and Zangetsu suddenly appeared in the sky above the "Kiss Players" singing group at the Brave Maximus Fortress concert of their world tour. The Sparkbots introduced themselves to the performers telepathically and insisted that the three humans in the group kiss them.

When Atari Hitotonari, Shaoshao Li, and Marissa Faireborn complied, Brave Maximus was engulfed by a bright light and transported back to the Sherman Dam in the year 1985 to witness the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Marissa kissed Angela, who transformed into her lion mode. The two flew to Prime, who was unable to see the time travelers. Angela directed Marissa to kiss the Autobot commander, gaining them a fragment of the Allspark.

"Lookit, Daddy, I drew it myself!"

Angela and her fellow Sparkbots continued to guide the Kiss Players from one point in time and space to the next, collecting an Allspark fragment from a famous Autobot or Maximal leader at each stop. After a particularly narrow escape on the planet Quintessa, the girls decided to decorate their "partner" Sparkbots; Marissa drew a pretty heart with legs and upside-down wings on Angela, apparently in permanent marker. This says a lot more about Marissa than about Angela.

Following a brief shunt into an Aurex universe, the Kiss Players came face to face with the Transformer god, Primus... and the Sparkbots' true allegiance to Unicron was revealed. Having tricked the girls into assembling the chaos god's Angolmois Energy rather than the "Allspark", the Sparkbots fled back in time to Earth's prehistoric past and resurrected their master.

Defeated by Primus's might, Unicron was again reduced to Angolmois Energy and, together with Angela and the other Sparkbots, locked away within the planet with Brave Maximus assigned to watch over them for eternity. Or at least until 2007. Kiss Players

Toys

Kiss Players

There's an angry baboon inside all of us.

• Kiss Players Sparkbot x3 (Multi-pack, 2007)

• Known designers: Masaki Maruyama (original tooling)

Available only in the Sparkbot three-pack with her teammates Star Dust and Zangetsu, Angela is a shock-pink redeco of the Eggleo/Dark Eggleo mold (itself a retool of Micro Change Metal Leo MC-15), transforming from a sphere into a robotic lion. She has a keychain attached to her spine.

The original Micro Change toy also included a base, as well as 2 guns that could be plugged in to the back of the mane in lion configuration. These were excluded for all Transformers releases.

The Sparkbots set was only available at the Japanese Tokyo Toy Festival 2007 on March 18th, and is the final release in the Kiss Players toy line. The set also came with a new CD.

Notes

• Angela's name, pink color scheme, and heart symbol were created by Lyrian, who portrays her voice in the Kiss Players radio drama series.
• Lyrian also designed and named Rosanna, in case you couldn't guess by the thematic similarity. Lyrian grew up in Italy and apparently has a thing for using Italian names, regardless of whether or not they sound Transformery.
• Despite having a mane in lion mode, Angela is presumably female.
