[[File:WFC_Kingdom_Tricranius_blast_effects.jpg|right|upright=2|thumb|''Kingdom'' [[Tricranius]], god of Fire Blast effects. ''This isn't even all of them.'']]

"'''Fire Blast effects'''" are brightly colored translucent accessories that plug into Transformers [[toy]]s or their [[weapon]]s in order to simulate energy blasts, burning damage, jet exhaust, or other action features. They were first featured as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' toyline and have continued sporadically ever since.

Depending on the toy and their intended placement, these effect parts can be specifically shaped around a corresponding weapon, or have a more universal 3&nbsp;mm port and/or [[5 mm post]]. Effect parts can be layered to form extra-large simulated fires, explosions, etc., and toys at higher [[Size class|pricepoints]] may include a half-dozen or more. Some, like ''Siege'' [[Lionizer (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Lionizer's]], can be creatively used to represent speed from a [[Micromaster]]-sized vehicle.

Broad types of effect parts include:

*Small gun bursts/impacts
*Melee weapon movement/impacts
*Rocket plumes
*Large gun bursts
*Energy auras

Unfortunately, the chemical composition of their soft bendy [[plastic]] makes them subject to relatively rapid decomposition similar to [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|previous]] [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Generation 1|figures]] that relied on softer plastics. Collectors quickly learned that if the effect parts are left attached to more rigid pieces such as guns or jet thrusters for a prolonged period of time, they may become so firmly bonded together that separating them causes physical damage, or more mildly, paint stripping. For this reason, it is recommended to store your effects pieces separately to your figures.

==Fire Blast effect accessories==
{{note|The following sections only cover the different types of Fire Blast effect, grouped by type. For a complete visual gallery of all the effect pieces in all available colors, see '''[[Fire Blast effect/gallery]]'''.}}

===''Generations''===
''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' pioneered effect parts during the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege]]'' subline, before they spread into other parts of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and beyond into other lines. Fire blast parts are listed here in the order they were first introduced, matched up with any subsequent redecoes. All of the following accessories feature 3&nbsp;mm ports and 5&nbsp;mm posts—usually with the 3&nbsp;mm port ''inside'' the 5&nbsp;mm post to act as a universal connector—unless otherwise noted.

*'''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2020)
*'''''Generations Selects'' Artfire & Nightstick''' (2-pack, 2021)

:''Siege'' [[Battle Master]] [[Firebolt (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Firedrive]] transforms into a double-barrelled blaster, and includes two red fire blast effects in the rough shape of a candle flame. [[Phantomstrike Squadron]] member "[[Fracas#War for Cybertron: Siege|Decepticon Fracas]]" comes with redecoes of these in yellowish-orange, while ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)#Netflix|Trilogy]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Megatron]]'s pack-in partner "[[Pinpointer (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Captive Pinpointer]]" includes them in hot pink. ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' [[Artfire#Generations Selects|Artfire]] and [[Nightstick (Headmasters)#Generations Selects|Nightstick]] feature them in a pale blue to simulate their firefighting water cannons.

*'''''Siege'' Lionizer''' (Battle Master, 2018)
*'''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2020)

:''Siege'' [[Lionizer (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Lionizer]] includes a light blue effect to represent a slashing motion for his sword mode. This piece introduces a different type of connection consisting of two 3&nbsp;mm ports with a longer groove in the middle, allowing it to clip onto other melee weapons, like the swords included with ''Siege'' Voyager toys [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Megatron]] and [[Springer (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Springer]] and Battle Masters based on Pteraxadon (see below). This effect is not 5&nbsp;mm compatible, and while it does attach to standard 3&nbsp;mm posts, it looks less effective connected to blasters than it does to, say, a Transformer receiving slash damage. With Lionizer's redeco "[[Lionizer (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Captive Lionizer]]" (''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Megatron's other partner), this effect is hot pink.

*'''''Kingdom'' Tricranius Beast Power''' (Deluxe Class with accessories pack, 2021)
*'''''Generations Selects'' Cyclonus and Nightstick''' (multi-pack, 2022)

:''Siege'' [[Blowpipe (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Blowpipe]] comes with a yellow blast effect that begins as an explosive discharge at the base, going up to a rounded tier of fiery tips, with a taller point at the centre. Blowpipe's effect is something of an anomaly in that it can be separated into two pieces, with the explosive discharge section towards the base disconnecting into a ring that can be mounted onto 5&nbsp;mm posts. This two-part piece is included in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' [[Tricranius#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Tricranius Beast Power]] set, redecoed in bright seafoam blue, and with ''Generations Selects'' [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Cyclonus]] and [[Nightstick (G1)#Generations Selects|Nightstick]] in purple. Elsewhere, the "Fire Twins"–''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Hotlink (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Hotlink]]'s partners [[Heatstroke#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Heatstroke]] and [[Heartburn#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Heartburn]]–each include one of this blast effect in bright orange, deliberately omitting the ring part to accentuate the piece's resemblance to a flame.

*'''''Kingdom'' Golden Disk Collection Autobot Jackpot / Autobot Sights''' (multi-pack, 2022)
*'''''Shattered Glass Collection'' Decepticon Flamewar / Fireglide''' (multi-pack, 2022(?))

:''Siege'' [[Pteraxadon#War for Cybertron: Siege|Pteraxadon]] transforms into an axe, and so includes a blast effect with the same connection type as Lionizer, allowing it to clip onto other ''War for Cybertron'' melee weapons. Pteraxadon's effect is dark blue, and represents his axe mode impacting with a target or surface. Though it features no 5&nbsp;mm compatibility, a 3&nbsp;mm hole in the underside allows it to be used as an explosion or particularly large blaster discharge. This effects piece is also included with Pteraxadon's mold-mate, Phantomstrike Squadron member [[Terror-Daxtyl#War for Cybertron: Siege|Terror-Daxtyl]], cast in yellowish-orange. An orange redeco is included with the ''Kingdom'' "Golden Disk Collection" two-pack containing "[[Jackpot (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Jackpot]]" and "[[Sights (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Sights]]". Another yellowish-orange one comes with ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' "[[Flamewar (SG)#Toys|Decepticon Flamewar]]" and [[Fireglide#Toys|Fireglide]], this time with stripe of orange paint across the underside.

*'''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Sparkless Seeker''' (Voyager Class, 2021)
*'''''Generations Selects'' Artfire & Nightstick''' (2-pack, 2021)

:''Siege'' [[Aimless#War for Cybertron: Siege|Aimless]] includes a pair of two similar but slightly different red blaster effects; both are shaped like a wispy beam that splits and recombines near the base. These are included in blue with Aimless' redeco, the Phantomstrike Squadron's [[Hairsplitter#War for Cybertron: Siege|Shrute]]. Afterwards, they see use with the ''other'' Battle Master gun mold, coming in green with ''Siege'' [[Singe#War for Cybertron: Siege|Singe]], and slightly darker green with "[[Singe#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Sparkless Singe]]", a zombie version partnered with ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Sparkless#SparklessSeeker|Sparkless Seeker]]. A pair is also included with ''Generations Selects'' Artfire and Nightstick, in an aquatic blue.

[[File:Fireblast Siege Dazzlestrike.jpeg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Siege'' Dazzlestrike]]
*'''''Siege'' Autobot Greenlight & Dazzlestrike''' (2-pack, 2019)

:While [[Dazzlestrike#War for Cybertron: Siege|Dazzlestrike]] is a very minor [[repaint]] of Lionizer, the two lion bots have completely different effects parts. This piece is shaped like a thin strip of fire, and, like Lionizer's effect, features melee weapon-style connection ports to simulate a flaming slash attack. This piece lacks 5&nbsp;mm compatibility, and is not especially suited to 3&nbsp;mm post blaster weaponry–and since Dazzlestrike turns into a "Shadowsteel '''Ice'''blade", perhaps it's not really suited to them either.

[[File:Fireblast Siege Alphastrike Counterforce Trenchfoot.jpeg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Siege'' Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce Trenchfoot]]

*'''''Kingdom'' Tricranius Beast Power''' (Deluxe Class with accessories pack, 2021)
*'''''Generations Selects'' Cyclonus and Nightstick''' (multi-pack, 2022)

:Included for the first time with ''Siege'' [[Firestormer#Generations|Alphastrike Counterforce]] member [[Trenchfoot#War for Cybertron: Siege|Trenchfoot]], this effect is shaped like a conical blast on the end of a twisting tail. Trenchfoot's is in [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] Autobot yellow, while [[Caliburst (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Caliburst]]'s is in Decepticon purple. Like Singe, Caliburst was zombified into "[[Caliburst (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Sparkless Caliburst]]", ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Sparkless Seeker's other partner, and he comes with a darker purple piece. Another purple version of this piece is included with ''Selects'' Cyclonus and Nightstick. This effect, in bright seafoam blue, is also one of the ones that comes in the ''Kingdom'' Tricranius set; curiously, the two components to this release of the effects piece are not glued together, resulting in a separate head and tail with limited compatibility to the play pattern (though they can still hold together with friction).

*'''''Earthrise'' Smashdown''' (Battle Master, 2020)
*'''''Legacy: United'' Doom 'n Destruction Collection 3-Pack''' (Multi-pack, 2024)

:''Siege'' [[Smashdown#War for Cybertron: Siege|Smashdown]] transforms into a hammer, and includes an orange blast effect that plugs into a 5&nbsp;mm port in the business end to simulate... well, smashing down. Unlike the other ''War for Cybertron'' melee weapon effects, Smashdown's piece does not include the modified groove connection; instead, a 3&nbsp;mm hole runs through the centre, allowing it to attach to the appropriate posts to serve as a (particularly wide and flat) explosion or blaster discharge, and it has a shallow post in the concave side to fit into 5&nbsp;mm ports. [[Smashdown#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Smashdown]] saw a straight [[Rebranding|repackage]] in ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise]]'', with this effect still included.  When Smashdown was eventually redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: United]]'' [[Malleus Minotaurus#Toys|Malleus Minotaurus]], he included a redeco of this piece in dark turquoise, as well as [[#Malleus|an additional, unique blast effect]].

:Released at the tail end of ''Siege'', [[Rung (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Rung]] includes a pair of blue blast effects, which are pointed in shape and jagged with an electric-like appearance. Like Smashdown, Rung also received a [[Rung (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|second release]] in ''Earthrise'', with unchanged blast effects. A prototype of ''Siege'' Rung was displayed with different effects pieces; see the entry for "Battlefield Rung" below for more information.

:Now we're into the big leagues. Ringing in the Commander Class, ''Siege'' [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Jetfire]] includes ''six'' blast effects in the form of a pair of (identical) three-stage rocket plumes. The tip of the plume is a lengthy fireblast. The two lower pieces of each plume feature 5&nbsp;mm posts underneath and 5&nbsp;mm ports on top, making them stackable with any other compatible effects and accessories–one could even make a huge five-part rocket blast with just the pieces included in the set. Only one trio of these effects is included with ''Earthrise'' [[Scorponok (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Scorponok]], in the same orange colour as Jetfire's. ''Kingdom'' [[Ark (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Ark]] includes all six in a deep turquoise, while ''Kingdom'' Tricranius' copies are a bright seafoam blue. Jetfire's rifle accessories are redecoed for inclusion with ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' [[J. Balvintron#Toys|J. Balvintron]], and the blast effects follow suit, decoed in a suitably vibrant gradient of colours. The later ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Jetfire (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Jetfire]] is bundled with all six, this time in a deeper shade of blue. All six pieces in a new, aquamarine color were included with [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] [[Star Saber (G1)#Legacy|Victory Saber]]; the Fire Blasts along with the "V-Lock Cannon" accessory were the "Tier 1" bonus rewards which were unlocked when the project passed 14,000 backers on [[October 6]], [[2021]]. The six pieces, now in Decepticon purple, were also included as a "Tier 1" bonus for the similarly crowdfunded "[[Deathsaurus (G1)#Legacy|Decepticon Deathsaurus]]" to plug into his [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]] when his project also passed 14,000 backers on [[December 5]], 2022. The ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Prowl]] two-pack comes with all six pieces in dark violet, presumably to be used on the new ports on their retooled chests. The ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' multipack of [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#LegacyPowerlinx|Armada Universe Powerlinx Hot Shot]] and [[Jolt (Armada)#Legacy|Armada Universe Jolt]] (phew!) also includes all six pieces in slightly orangey red.  The ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Brawn (G1)/toys#SStwopack|Brawn]] and [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#SStwopack|Autobot Ratchet]] two-pack again comes with all six pieces in a purplier, more matte finish.

*'''''Legacy: United'' Beast Wars Universe Magmatron''' (Commander Class, 2024)

:''Siege'' Titan Class [[Omega Supreme (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Omega Supreme]] comes with seven effects pieces, five of which can be stacked via 5&nbsp;mm posts and ports to form a tall, smoky explosion inspired by a rocket blasting off. The remaining two effects are copies of the explosion's tip, for use as a fiery weapons discharge or damage impact. These are the first blast effects to feature paint, as they are cast in yellow plastic with charcoal paint gradients towards their 5&nbsp;mm posts to simulate an inner glow. They are unpainted in most subsequent releases: the full set of seven is included with ''Earthrise'' [[Sky Lynx (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sky Lynx]] in bright orange, ''Kingdom'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] in blue, ''Kingdom'' Tricranius in hot pink, Omega's ''Selects'' redeco [[Guardian robot#Generations Selects|Guardian Robot]] in darker orange, and ''Legacy: United'' [[Magmatron#Legacy|Beast Wars Universe Magmatron]] in purple. The set included with ''[[Studio Series]]'' Commander Class [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Ultra Magnus]] comes in an apple-juicy orange, and features flat grey paint applications.

*'''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack''' #1 (Leader Unboxing, 2020)

:Partnered with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Ultra Magnus]] in the first ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack, "[[Rung (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Battlefield Rung]]" comes with two pink, flimsy blast effects designed to look like arcs of lightning. When a hand-painted prototype of the original ''Siege'' Rung was displayed at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2019, he was equipped with [https://www.seibertron.com/events/fullsize.php?event_id=649&size=1&image=55 blue versions of ''these'' blast effects], instead of the ones he actually comes with.

*'''''Earthrise'' Soundbarrier''' (Battle Master, 2020)
*'''''Kingdom'' Tricranius Beast Power''' (Deluxe Class with accessories pack, 2021)

:The new Battle Master molds introduced in ''Earthrise'' transform from robot into a ramp mode which can be used as a shield by a larger figure, and [[Soundbarrier#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Soundbarrier]] is no exception. With a flat surface destined to get hit during battle for an alt mode, Soundbarrier's included orange blast effect more closely resembles a damaging explosion than previous effects, though it can also be used as a weapons discharge in 5&nbsp;mm blasters if one chooses. ''Kingdom'' Tricranius includes two copies of this effect in hot pink. The instruction sheet for the [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#2021Netflix|third ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack]] shows two of these effects as components of [[Skelivore#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Fossilizer Skelivore]]—in particular, they're depicted plugged into Skelivore's 5&nbsp;mm ports, which the effects actually ''included'' in the set can't do.

*'''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack''' #3 (Leader Unboxing, 2021)

:Another of ''Earthrise''{{'}}s ramp/shields, [[Slitherfang#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Slitherfang]] includes a round, orange explosion impact with a particularly tall vertical point. Leaning into the idea that these effects should be for damage rather than weapons fire, this accessory lacks the standard 5&nbsp;mm post, allowing it to sit more flush on Slitherfang's 3&nbsp;mm posts and against other flat surfaces. A pink version of this effect is included with [[Fangtron#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Fangtron]] in the [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|second ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack]], and a blue one is hidden in the modelling compound of the third ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack; according to the instructions, the latter is supposed to interact with Skelivore, but since they completely lack 3&nbsp;mm posts, you'll have to put it on Megatron instead.

:The third and final of the ''Earthrise'' ramp/shields, [[Doublecrosser (Earthrise)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Doublecrosser]] comes with a small, orange explosion impact with outward-spreading points. As with Slitherfang, Doublecrosser's piece lacks a 5&nbsp;mm post to more closely simulate battle damage. A blue copy of this piece is hidden in the modelling compound of the third ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack and, as above, is advertised as interacting with Skelivore, but only compatible with Megatron.

*'''''Shattered Glass Collection'' Rodimus / Sideswipe & Decepticon Whisper''' (Multi-pack, 2023)

:As a smaller-sized Voyager toy in the ''[[Studio Series]]'' line, "[[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Autobot Hot Rod]]" fills out the price point with a handful of accessories, including a pair of light blue blast effects shaped like flames. These effects each feature two 3&nbsp;mm ports shaped to attach to Hot Rod's exhaust pipes in either mode. They can be used on any 3&nbsp;mm post, but due to their shape, they do not feature a 5&nbsp;mm post. Hot Rod was due to receive a [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Velocitron|G1 toy-accurate redeco]] in the ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' "Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection", with his blast effects coloured orange, though this did not come to pass. The ''Shattered Glass Collection'' redeco, [[Rodimus (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Rodimus]], comes with two of these effects in eeevil red.

:Another "''Studio Series'' 86" Voyager toy, [[Scourge (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Scourge]] includes a long, twisting, purple laser blast of varying thickness. Scourge features 3&nbsp;mm hardpoints on his rifle and... spacey jet engine fin things, meaning that yes, you can attach the blast effect to his head-mounted gun in his secondary vehicle mode configuration. As a retool of Scourge, "[[Sweep (G1)#Studio Series|Decepticon Sweep]]" includes the same laser blast is a marginally variant shade of pinkish purple.

:In addition to seven redecoed Omega Supreme blast effects, ''Kingdom'' Rodimus Prime also comes with two new exhaust pipe smoke effects. Unlike the vast majority of blast effects, these ones are cast in hard plastic instead of the rubberized stuff; oddly, they are made of translucent blue plastic, then painted over entirely black. With a row of two-and-a-half 3&nbsp;mm ports, they're designed, unsurprisingly, to attach to his vehicle modes' exhausts, which are usually depicted as forearm-mounted blasters in fiction. They can attach to any 3&nbsp;mm post but, owing to their design, they lack 5&nbsp;mm interactivity. Rodimus Prime also includes a Matrix aura effect, listed [[#Nonstandard blast effects|below]].

:As a crossover with the [[X-Men]] franchise, ''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' [[Ultimate X-Spanse#Toys|Ultimate X-Spanse]] includes a handful of accessories inspired by the merry [[Mutant (Marvel)|Mutants]]. In terms of blast effects, X-Spanse is armed with two bright pink, 5&nbsp;mm compatible accessories intended to plug into the back of his hands: one is a [[Wolverine (Marvel)|Wolverine]]-inspired, three-pronged claw, while the other is a blade/blast inspired by {{w|Psylocke}}'s psychic knife. Both of these effects have a small hole in the side so that they can be stored underneath X-Spanse's wings or on his landing gear/robot mode waist; however, unusually for blast effects, neither has a 3&nbsp;mm port, and so they are incompatible with much of the play pattern. X-Spanse also has another trend-bucking blast effect accessory, which you can read about [[#Nonstandard blast effects|below]].

They can be used on the back of Spike's [[exosuit]] in vehicle mode as an eruption of exhaust; the same 3&nbsp;mm mounting points end up on his elbows in bipedal mode, which stock images show by rotating his forearms around to become wrist blasters.

His roof-mounted decorative light becomes a shoulder cannon in robot mode, complete with a blast effect shaped like a billowing plume of flame, cast in translucent blue plastic and with a painted gradient of yellow/orange that becomes more opaque towards the tip.

*'''''Collaborative'' Frankentron''' (2023)

:Another ''Collaborative'' effort, [[Frankenstein's monster#Toys|Frankentron]] comes with a wildly jagged, cascading blast effect cast in purple, for use with his Tesla coil cannon, in homage to the lightning that gave Frankenstein's monster life.

:A redeco of [[Smashdown#Toys|Smashdown]], ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: United]]'' [[Malleus Minotaurus#Toys|Malleus Minotaurus]] not only comes with a redeco of that toy's blast effect piece, but also a squat and square piece to fit over either end of the hammer head to simulate it being covered in melted slag.  Both pieces are molded in dark turquoise.

===From ''Cyberverse''===
Not to be left out of the fun, when the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' toyline introduced its own [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Deluxe Class|Deluxe Class assortment]], pitched at slightly older kids than the standard ''Cyberverse'' range, each release included at least one unique blast effect to that character. The accessories listed below are completely compatible with the ''Generations'' play pattern unless otherwise noted (although this range also had a few major departures in that respect; [[#Nonstandard blast effects|see below]] for more information).

[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Optimus-Prime.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
*'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Heroes of Cybertron 3-Pack''' (Deluxe Class 3-pack, 2022)

:[[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Optimus Prime]] comes with a two-piece, deep blue energy blast shaped roughly like a mushroom. It can be separated into the tail (resembling a wide blast) and the head (resembling... a squat splodge) to attach to any of the standard ports, but the main draw here is fitting it into the 5&nbsp;mm post in his open chest for what the packaging calls his "Matrix Mega Shot". Optimus received an unchanged re-release in the ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)#Buzzworthy Deluxe|Heroes of Cybertron 3-Pack]], once again including the blast effect.

{{-}}
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Shockwave.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Decepticon Shockwave]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Decepticon Shockwave''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)

:"[[Shockwave (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Decepticon Shockwave]]" is molded with a neon pink blaster shot effect with a long beam and a short explosive discharge near the base. Like Blowpipe's effect above, Shockwave's blast is composed of two pieces; together, they are only compatible with 3&nbsp;mm ports, but when separated, the beam can also fit into 5&nbsp;mm holes, and the explosive ring can mount on 5&nbsp;mm ports. Shockwave's signature attack is the "Shock Blast", achieved by putting the combined blast effect on the barrel of his grey handheld blaster, but why do ''that'' when you can attach the separated beam piece to the 3&nbsp;mm port on his face to give him a ''frikkin' eye laser''?

{{-}}
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Megatron.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Megatron]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Megatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)

:A hot pink blast effect is included with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Megatron]]. A bit like Blowpipe's and Shockwave's accessories, Megatron's effect is shaped like a thick blast with a discharge near its peg. Similarly, it does separate into two pieces, but since the resulting hole on the beam and the resulting port on the discharge are too big for 5&nbsp;mm connections, the separation might not be intended. What ''is'' intended is plugging the piece into Megatron's ever-present fusion cannon, forming his "Fusion Mega Shot" Action Attack.

:[https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/9/95/20220302134119%21TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Megatron.jpg Some of Megatron's stock photos] omit the longer part of the blast effect.

[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Grimlock.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Grimlock]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Grimlock''' (Deluxe Class, 2020)

:As a first for blast effects (but not an isolated case), [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Grimlock]]'s orange plume effect is intended for his ''beast'' mode, plugging into the port in his T. rex mouth to simulate fiery breath for an Action Attack the packaging calls "Chomp Jaw"... for some reason. Grimlock includes no weapon accessories, so to prevent him from being unarmed in robot mode, you can also use this piece in his 5&nbsp;mm-compatible hands as some kind of flame club.

{{-}}
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Hot-Rod.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Autobot Hot Rod]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Autobot Hot Rod''' (Deluxe Class, 2020)
*'''''EarthSpark'' Prowl'' (Deluxe Class, 2023?)

:In what seems to be a new tradition for Rodimuses, "[[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Autobot Hot Rod]]" comes with a pair of flame effects for his exhaust pipes, this time in orange. Unlike the other two sets of flame effects, this Hot Rod's pair is compatible with both 3&nbsp;mm and 5&nbsp;mm mounting points. The effects are mirrors of each other, and both feature two teeth towards the base to allow them to clip into grooves ''between'' Hot Rod's three pipes; in robot mode, this becomes his wrist-mounted "Fusion Flame" attack.

:Hot Rod was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: EarthSpark (toyline)|EarthSpark]]'' [[Prowl (ES)#Toys|Prowl]], which included the flame effects in yellow.

{{-}}
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Arcee.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Arcee]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2020)

:[[Arcee (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Arcee]] comes with two long, light blue blast effects, shaped similarly to ''Siege'' Jetfire's plumes. The suggested configuration is putting them on the 3&nbsp;mm ports on her blaster, resulting in her "Dual Energon Lasers" Action Attack, though their length and 5&nbsp;mm compatibility mean they could also be used as handheld weapons, if you're feeling the influence of [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|a particular sword lesbian]].

{{-}}
[[File:Cyberverse-2020-Deluxe-Prowl.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Prowl]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Prowl''' (Deluxe Class, 2020)

:[[Prowl (Cyberverse)#Deluxe|Prowl]] is bundled with two yellow effects parts. While they are similar in length, and both feature explosive discharges near the base, their designs differ: one is a laser with a thin tail and a spearhead-shaped tip, while the other more closely resembles a spray of fire or liquid. With one on each shoulder cannon, Prowl assumes his "Siren Shot" Action Attack position. Owing to the round, bulbous shape of the bases of these pieces, they are only compatible with 3&nbsp;mm ports.

{{-}}
[[File:Cyberverse-2020-Deluxe-Soundwave.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Soundwave]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Soundwave''' (Deluxe Class, 2020)

:[[Soundwave (Cyberverse)#Deluxe|Soundwave]] includes a squat, purple, octagonal effects part with a {{w|triangle wave}} design on its front face. Fittingly, when attached to the "battery" cannon on his right shoulder, this configuration is known as the "Sound Blast" attack.

{{-}}
[[File:Cyberverse-2020-Deluxe-Starscream.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Starscream]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Starscream''' (Deluxe Class, 2020)

:Rounding out the ''Cyberverse'' assortment, [[Starscream (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Starscream]] comes with three sizeable blast effects. The first two effects are a pair of lengthy, orange bursts for his forearm-mounted null rays. The third effect is a launching cluster of missiles which can attach under his jet mode nosecone or, to enact his "Seeker Strike" Action Attack, it can peg onto his... general chest area. Since all three effects are rather wide around the base, they are only compatible with 3&nbsp;mm posts.
{{-}}

[[File:Cyberverse toy Deluxe Class Slug.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Dinobot Slug]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Dinobot Slug''' (Deluxe Class, 2021)

:As part of the line's ''Dinobots Unite'' subline imprint, "[[Slug (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Dinobot Slug]]" includes an opaque red, twin-headed, combustive blast effect for his double-barrelled blaster. Though it represents two weapons discharges, even featuring a gap between the two shafts of the blast, this effect is one solid piece. Combining his effect, blaster, and Energon axe accessories and mounting them on his back results in the "Blaster Fire Fury" signature attack. This effect is only compatible with 3&nbsp;mm posts, with it featuring two 3&nbsp;mm holes in the base. Slug's axe and beast mode horns are cast from the same red plastic, but those don't count as blast effects for obvious reasons (though the handle of the axe has a 3&nbsp;mm post to attach effects pieces to it in its blaster configuration).
{{-}}

===Other contemporary 3 mm compatible accessories===
Borne of the same design team, and often made from the same constituent materials, the following accessories are also compatible with the 3&nbsp;mm posts found in the fire blast effect play pattern—but are not fire blasts in the ''strictest'' sense. So you ''can'' use them as damage impacts and weapons discharge, but they'd look pretty silly.

[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-S-Refraktor-Reconnaissance-Team-Kremzeek.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Siege'' Kremzeek]]
*'''''Siege'' Refraktor Reconnaissance Team 3-Pack''' (multi-pack, 2019)

:Included with the exclusive ''Siege'' [[Reflector (G1)#3pack|Refraktor Reconnaissance Team 3-Pack]] is a small rubberised figurine of [[Kremzeek#War for Cybertron: Siege|Kremzeek]], the electric reprobate from the [[Kremzeek!|episode of the same name]]. Each of Kremzeek's feet features a 3&nbsp;mm hole.

*'''''Collaborative'' Ectotron''' (2019)
*'''''Collaborative'' MP-10G Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition''' (2019)
*'''''Collaborative'' Ectotron''' (2021)

:The inaugural release in ''[[Transformers Collaborative]]'', [[Ectotron#Toys|Ectotron]] includes a 3&nbsp;mm compatible figurine of the [[Ghostbusters]]' troublemaker-cum-mascot, [[Slimer#Toys|Slimer]], in translucent green plastic. Slimer also comes with "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#CollabGB|Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition]]", this time opaque with a painted mouth and eyes. With the [[Ectotron#Afterlife|second release of Ectotron]], Slimer is once more translucent and unpainted, but in a slightly darker green.

*'''''Kingdom'' Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2021)

:In the interests of completeness, we'll take the opportunity to note that ''Earthrise'' Deluxe Class [[Arcee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Arcee]] makes use of 3&nbsp;mm posts and holes to ride her hoverboard in robot mode. As such, her feet are completely compatible with anywhere you can mount blast effects. This holds true with her "Galactic Odyssey Collection" redeco [[Lifeline (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Lifeline]], her ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' retool "[[Elita One (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Autobot Elita-1]]", and her [[Arcee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|package refresh]] in ''Kingdom''.

:Among many many other accessories, the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] includes two [[Energon cube#Centurion|energon cube]]s. These cubes are made of solid plastic, unlike the majority of blast effects, and each one features a 3&nbsp;mm port in one corner. The set also contains a miniature accessory of [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Soundwave]]'s microcassette recorder mode, which has a 3&nbsp;mm hole on the underside.

:The unfortunate guest of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Quintesson#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Quintesson Pit of Judgement]], this small, non-articulated figurine of [[Kranix (G1)#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Kranix]] features a blast effect-port compatible 3&nbsp;mm hole in his left foot.

*'''''Collaborative'' Maverick''' (2020)

:Released to tie in with ''{{w|Top Gun}}'', ''Collaborative'' [[Maverick (Collaborative)#Toys|Maverick]] includes an interchangeable pair of hands with 3&nbsp;mm posts in the palms ''specifically'' so he can hold the included "blast effect" volleyball accessory. That's right – this toy uses a homoerotically-charged beach game as a selling point. ''Transformers'' has peaked.

*'''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack''' #3 (Leader Unboxing, 2021)
*'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Worlds Collide''' (4-pack, 2021)

:One of the goodies buried in the compound of the third ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Spoiler Pack, this [[AllSpark#Generations|Allspark]] accessory is bright yellow and just shy of 11 millimetres cubed. Based on the model from the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' show, the Allspark features a 3&nbsp;mm hole in one face so it can peg onto the included Megatron to recreate events from the cartoon. The Allspark's opposite face has a shallow 3&nbsp;mm post of its own, so other blast effects can be mounted onto it. A redecoed [[AllSpark#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|Allspark]], this time in a dark gold colour, is included as an accessory for the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#WorldsCollide|Bumblebee]] included in the baffling ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' "Worlds Collide" multi-pack.

:The second ''Collaborative'' Ectotron is released in promotion of ''{{w|Ghostbusters: Afterlife}}'', and includes a translucent blue figure of that film's <s>hideous</s> cute merchandisable character, [[Muncher#Toys|Muncher]]. As with Slimer, Muncher features a 3&nbsp;mm port on the underside.

*'''''Legacy: Evolution'' Beachcomber & Paradise Parakeet''' (Deluxe Class, 2023)

:Receiving top billing alongside ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' [[Beachcomber (G1)#Legacy|Beachcomber]], "[[Paradise Parakeet]]" is a funny little guy based on Beachcomber's iconic avian friend from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]". The bird's base can perch on 3&nbsp;mm posts, like on Beachcomber's shoulder, or in any 5&nbsp;mm ports.

[[File:Fireblast Legacy United Origin Wheeljack dominator discs.JPG|right|upright=1|thumb|''Legacy: United'' Origin Wheeljack]]
*'''''Legacy: United'' Origin Wheeljack''' (Voyager Class, 2024)

:The ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: United]]'' toy "[[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Legacy|Origin Wheeljack]]", based on the character's appearance from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", includes a pair of "fan blade" accessories that mount on 3&nbsp;mm posts on his front bumper to represent the scene from that episode in which Wheeljack deploys the rotors against a wall of fire.  However, they're more visually based on the [[dominator disk]]s from the episode "[[The Core]]", allowing you to simulate heroic Autobot mind control over any figure that has a 3&nbsp;mm post.
{{-}}

===Nonstandard blast effects===
Pretty much the opposite of the previous category, the following accessories are undoubtedly blast effects, but they feature no 3&nbsp;mm ports or 5&nbsp;mm posts; instead, these effects often feature unique connections, usually with a singular intended use.

[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Cyberverse'' Bumblebee]]
*'''''Cyberverse'' Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
*'''''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' Heroes of Cybertron 3-Pack''' (Deluxe Class 3-pack, 2022)
:''Cyberverse'' Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)#Deluxe Class|Bumblebee]] includes a dark blue, bladed burst effect with an underside designed to fit over the triangular shape of his included 5&nbsp;mm [[Stinger (weapon)|Stinger]] accessory. The back of the packing calls this the "Sting Shot" Action Attack. Bumblebee received an unchanged re-release in the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)#Buzzworthy Deluxe|Heroes of Cybertron 3-Pack]], once again including the blast effect.

*'''''Cyberverse'' Thunderhowl''' (Deluxe Class, 2020)

:''Cyberverse'' Deluxe [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)#Toys|Thunderhowl]] comes with a long, light blue effect designed to look like overlapping bolts of lightning. This piece is compatible only with Thunderhowl's sword, simulating it surging with electric power, and his beast mode's tongue, a configuration the box calls his "Lightning Blast".

[[File:Fireblast SS86 Hot Rod Matrix.jpeg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Studio Series'' Autobot Hot Rod's Matrix glow]]
*'''''Studio Series'' Autobot Hot Rod''' (Voyager Class, 2021)
*'''''Shattered Glass Collection'' Rodimus / Sideswipe & Decepticon Whisper''' (Multi-pack, 2023) 

:In addition to the two flame effects detailed above, ''Studio Series'' Hot Rod also features a light blue irregular starburst-shaped effect that clips onto the front of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Studio Series|Matrix of Leadership]] to recreate his ascension to Rodimus Prime at the climax of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. His villainous redeco in the ''Shattered Glass Collection'', Rodimus, includes a redeco of this effect cast in eeevil red plastic.
:Given that the majority of Matrices across the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' play pattern are roughly the same size and shape, this effect can also be used with the Matrices from toys based on ''Earthrise'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]] and ''Kingdom'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Galvatron]]... as ''well'' as...

*'''''Kingdom'' Rodimus Prime''' (Commander Class, 2021)

:''Kingdom'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Rodimus Prime]] includes a [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#K29|Matrix]] of his own and, in addition to his ''nine'' other blast effects above, also comes with a rich blue Matrix aura with seven points. As with ''Studio Series'' Hot Rod's, this effect is compatible with the other three Matrix molds in the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. Like Rodimus' smoke effects, this Matrix aura is cast in hard, translucent plastic (probably from the same sprue as his vehicle mode windscreen).

[[File:Fireblast Collaborative X-Spanse Psylocke.jpeg|right|upright=1|thumb|''Collaborative'' Ultimate X-Spanse's "psychic butterfly"]]
*'''''Collaborative'' Ultimate X-Spanse''' (2021)

:As well as his other X-Men-inspired accessories, Ultimate X-Spanse comes with an energy effect based on the butterfly-shaped aura that manifests around {{w|Psylocke}}'s eyes when she uses her psychic powers. Oddly, this effect is too small to attach to X-Spanse's face in this way, and is instead presented by the instructions and stock images as clipping around the waists of the included [[Wolverine (Marvel)#Collaborative|Wolverine]] and [[Sabretooth#Toys|Sabretooth]] mini-figures.

==Similar accessories in other lines==
The ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toylines may have refined the concept, but fire blast effects are far from unique in the toy industry – nor are they new to ''Transformers''! A good handful of ''Transformers'' toys had previously included similar effects pieces and, following the debut of ''Siege'', their numbers continue to grow. The following accessories are incompatible with the standardised system above unless otherwise noted.

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Alert]] includes a spiky, translucent-blue headband that fits over his "horns" and around the back of his head, not unlike earmuffs, to simulate the electric spark damage he received in the episode, "[[Auto Berserk]]". The later, show-accurate redeco [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#MP14Plus|Alert Anime Color Edition]] featured a redeco of the effect in orange. This effect is also compatible with [[Clampdown (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Clampdown]], due to him reusing Alert's head tooling.

:''Masterpiece'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ironhide]] includes a gallimaufry of weapon and gadget accessories, among them a jetpack as seen in the episode "[[The Immobilizer]]". The jetpack is complemented by two orange flare effects, which can also peg into Ironhide's battle sled when not in use (pointing straight upward, like he just set his sled on fire).

This piece is also compatible with Inferno's redeco [[Artfire#Masterpiece|Artfire]], as well as with his retool, [[Grapple (G1)#Masterpiece|Grapple]], who makes use of the same wrist blaster toolings.

The bright pink blade of the dagger can be removed from the hilt and plugged into the barrel of the pistol to act as a laser blast effect.
:This blast effect makes use of a stepped peg (5&nbsp;mm for dagger configuration, 3&nbsp;mm to fit into the pistol), meaning it is also compatible with the relevant ports on ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toys, provided the inside of the port isn't too shallow!

:Part of the "movie preview" wave of the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|first live action film toyline]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Protoform|Protoform Optimus Prime]] transforms into a teardrop-shaped atmospheric entry mode. The included fiery effect piece, cast in translucent orange with the narrow end painted gold, fits to the back of the vehicle mode, creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. In robot mode, the narrow end of the effect can fit into Optimus' included gun, though it is too small to fit into 5&nbsp;mm ports. This toy and its effect piece saw an unchanged re-release as part of a [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#JazzPrimeBrawl3pack|UK exclusive multi-pack]]. Over in Japan, the toy was redecoed as the limited release "[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Fusioncluster|Protoform Optimus Prime Fusion Cluster Edition]]", with the effect cast in blue translucent plastic with a painted gold tip; the later [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] "[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#LuckyDrawProtoform|Gold Protoform Optimus Prime]]" included the piece in unpainted orange, but since only ''five'' of these toys were ever produced, good luck getting hold of one. Later on, the ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)#Movie Advanced Series|Lost Age: Movie Advanced Series]]'' redeco, again named "[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#MAProtoform|Protoform Optimus Prime]]", included the piece in unpainted translucent blue. Later still, the ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' ''Premier Edition'' "[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Premier Edition|Optimus Prime 2-Pack]]" included another redecoed Protoform Optimus, this time with a red translucent flame with orange paint.

:Released concurrently with the above Optimus, [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Protoform Starscream]] transforms into a similar entry mode, and comes with his own orange and painted gold effect piece to represent his comet-like tail. The narrow end of the piece is cross-shaped, allowing it to fit into Starscream's robot mode missile launcher, though it lacks the ability to be used as a projectile. As with Optimus, Starscream saw two Japanese exclusives made in limited quantities: the redeco "[[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Fusioncluster|Protoform Starscream Fusion Cluster Edition]]", with the effect piece decoed in a Bunsen burner-ish translucent blue with gold paint, and the Lucky Draw "[[Starscream (Movie)/toys#LuckyDrawProtoform|Gold Protoform Starscream]]", with an unpainted reddish orange effect; only five samples of the latter toy were made.

*'''''Movie The Best'' Megatron''' (Leader Class, February 24, 2018)
:''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TLKLeader|Leader Class Megatron]] includes two elongated, billowing, orange flame effects. As a pair, they can each be plugged into one of his turbine exhausts in jet mode, or one of them can be used with his wrist-mounted fusion canon in robot mode.
:These pieces make uses of 5&nbsp;mm pegs, meaning they are compatible with any suitable port! However, like Ultimate X-Spanse's accessories above, these effects feature no 3&nbsp;mm holes inside their pegs, leaving them incompatible with some of the play pattern.

===Post-''Siege''===
Though this portion of the list may appear to be a similar length, consider that it took six years for the ''Masterpiece'' toyline to rack up six unique blast effects while, post-''Siege'', the line exceeded that number in less than ''a year''.

:To represent his robot mode arm cannon, ''Masterpiece'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Megatron]] includes a long, pinkish blast effect that plugs into his ''T. rex'' mode mouth. The effect piece uses an uncommon (unique?) stepped 3&nbsp;mm/ 4&nbsp;mm peg that leaves it incompatible with... pretty much anything other than its intended use!

[[File:MP-18-Plus-Silverstreak.jpg|upright=1|right|thumb|''Masterpiece'' Streak]]
*'''MP-18+ Streak''' (July 27, 2019)

:This ''Masterpiece'' [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#MP18Plus|Streak]] release in cartoon-accurate colours includes an innovative set of six modular effects pieces: three swirling yellow laser beam pieces of varying length, and three adaptor pieces to actually attach the beams to Streak's weapons, with one to fit over his dispenser rifle, and one for each of his shoulder-mounted cannons. As a result, each of the three beams is completely interchangeable on each of the adaptors, and since it required no new tooling to the base mold, all of these blast effects are compatible with previous [[Template:MPNissanFairladyMold|''Masterpiece'' Streaks and Prowls]]. Additionally, a bonus fourth adaptor is included to allow the beams to interact with ''Masterpiece'' MP-44 Convoy.

:Among a plethora of other accessories, the third ''Masterpiece'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#35th|Convoy]] comes with not one but two orange blast effects compatible with his Ion Blaster accessory. Why two? Because they are ''also'' compatible with the included [[Jet pack#ConvoyV3|jetpack]] accessory, serving as booster flames. The obligatory redeco [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#MP49|Black Convoy]] includes only one of the blast effects, now cast in translucent teal plastic.

Starscream also comes with two fiery effects to plug into his jet mode exhausts, or under his feet in robot mode, to simulate him flying. All five of Starscream's effects are included with each of his redecos, [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#MP52|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#MP52|Skywarp]], with the sole difference being that their jet exhaust blasts are now in yellow-orange.

Both effects are purple in colour; one is a long beam with a small blast at the base, while the other features a much larger discharge at the base and a more pointed tip. Both of these effects were later included with ''R.E.D.'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#R.E.D. .5BRobot Enhanced Design.5D|Galvatron]] in a more pinkish shade, for use with his [[particle cannon]].

He comes with a ''tiny'' little pink blast effect in a similar shape to the one that comes with ''Siege'' Blowpipe, which can plug into his gunbarrel or be held in one of his little hands. The attachment peg is 3mm wide, which makes it compatible with many other toys.

: Pew Pew Pew was released in a [[Gamer Geeks]] 5-pack, and also packaged in with the [[Outta Controller#Toys|Outta Controller]] vehicle.

Many, ''many'' toys of [[missile]]s are shaped like plumes or flame or lasers blasts; even putting aside that assembling a list of every missile would be a fool's errand, missiles are excluded from counting as blast effects as they serve a different purpose: a launching projectile [[play pattern]]. Also excluded are effect-like pieces that are integral to the operation of the toy; for example, the ''Earthrise'' [[Quintesson Judge#Toys|Quintesson Judge]] would not be able to stand up without its "levitation beam" piece. Remember, kids: the moment a part serves more of a function than merely being cosmetic, it is no longer a fire blast effect.

==Notes==
* Though comparatively new to ''Transformers'', this is not the first time one of [[Hasbro]]'s action figure lines have used similar effects accessories. The [[2002]] ''[[fandom:starwars:Star Wars Saga|Star Wars Saga]]'' series in particular made ample use of clear-plastic effects parts. Sadly, those toys use much thinner pegs, making them incompatible with most ''Transformers'' toys.
