'''Sparkplug''' is the name of several characters in the [[Transformers]] franchise.

==Human==
===Generation 1===
{{seealso|Witwicky family}}
The original Sparkplug is the patriarch of the Witwicky family in ''[[Transformers: Generation 1]]'', and the father of [[Spike Witwicky]]. His nickname was given based on his occupation as a mechanic; no first name was given to him in ''[[The Transformers]]'', but various comics have dubbed him '''William, Irving, Daniel''' (undoubtedly as the namesake of grandson [[Daniel Witwicky]]), or '''Stanislas Piotr.'''

====Animated series====
Sparkplug and his son Spike were working on an oil rig when the [[Decepticons]] attacked, having awoken some time previously after spending millions of years in stasis. Left stranded by the attack, they were rescued by the arriving [[Optimus Prime (Generation 1)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobots]], which began a long friendship between them and the Autobots. Sparkplug would usually provide the Autobots with intelligence regarding [[Earth (Transformers)|Earth]]'s energy resources, as well as lending his skills as a mechanic to the Autobots. This latter contribution played a key part in bringing most of the [[Aerialbots]] into the Autobot fold, as his dogged work in repairing [[Omega Supreme]] when even his Autobot counterparts had to stop to rest inspired the Aerialbots to defend humanity.

==Mini-Con==
This Sparkplug (called '''Prime''' in Japan) is [[Optimus Prime (Unicron Trilogy)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Mini-Con]] partner.
