![]() ![]() He has a transparent red gun, and yellow feet formed from the tailpipes of the car mode. Like all Gobots, Firecracker's got a fairly bulky chest and shortish arms. The darker red means he actually has a better colour scheme than Prime, although the detail of his facial mould shows up poorly when doused in blue paint, so Prime has the advantage there. The white head also separates him from Optimus Prime. The transparent plastic's smokey look means he avoids looking silly in robot mode as many Transformers with transparent plastic do. Now with a red chest, red arms, white thighs and yellow shins and feet, Firecracker has a white head with a blue face. Pull down the rear to form the legs, fold down the hood to form the chest, pull out the arms. ![]() It also makes him distinct from Gobot Optimus Prime, who's a lot lighter.

The clear plastic renders most of the details invisible, but they are there if you look for them.Īs with all Gobots, Firecracker has front and rear axles, and can roll quite well, and is designed to fit into Hot Wheels tracks. He has door seams, side mirrors, an engine grill behind the rear window, pop-up headlights, taillights, air intakes on the sides and even front indicators. ![]() The moulding detail's pretty good for a toy this size, although he's not quite a detailed as some Gobots since Diablos are inherently sleek. It works quite well, although it's very unrealistic (which probably goes without saying). The transparent plastic is thick enough that it has a smokey feel to it, so rather than clearly seeing the details underneath, you see shadows of them.
