Like Optimus Prime, Firecracker was a red Lamborghini Diablo. But because he was part of the first wave of Go-Bots, he was cast in translucent plastic. I didn't want to simply swap "translucent" for "opaque" and call it a day, so I looked around for a new color. Model Master's Revving Red finally caught my attention: I liked the color, and the metalflake seemed appropriate for the character and the Diablo.

I then did the usual wheel swap, and like Sideswipe I colored them with a yellow Sharpie to recreate the gold wheels used on the G2 cars.
