Fireworks

Light the blue touch-paper and retire to a safe distance.

Fireworks are decorative pyrotechnic devices used to mark special occasions by both Transformers and humans. The explosions caused by the Transformers' aerial battles are frequently compared to fireworks.

Ricky Vasquez promised that he would take his daughter Maria to see the July 4th fireworks after he went to work at the Hoover Dam. Unfortunately he was possessed by one of Bombshell's cerebro-shells and became embroiled in a Decepticon plot that led to a battle between the Aerialbots and Coneheads over the dam. After defeating the Insecticon's mind control he was led away from the scene by human authorities and apologised to his daughter for not being able to take her to see the fireworks, but she replied that she'd seen plenty of fireworks already.
