Firecracker is an Autobot from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Soon to be destroyed and replaced by Hurricane.

Literally born in a wind tunnel, Firecracker shows no measurable amount of drag resistance while in his sleek vehicle mode. Octane ignition turbines feed his need for speed, which is only tempered by the system being linked to his internal coolant levels. When accepted norms are exceeded he automatically loses control of his accelerator, and enormous vented discs provide the braking power to slow him down. While these safety measures help keep his body from overheating and burning up like a meteoroid entering the atmosphere, they can't cool off his fiery temper. Hopefully Firecracker can channel his rage in a useful direction, such as sending Decepticons right where he feels they belong: to the junkyards!

Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

Wings Universe

Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

Firecracker and the Go-Bots were part of the "second generation" of Transformers created on Earth in the 21st century, using a combination of human, Nebulan, and Cybertronian sciences. He became an Autobot working for Pyro when the new Transformers inevitably started to battle amongst themselves. In 2010, Firecracker and the Go-Bots arrived in Switzerland to assist Rapido's team against the Decepticons after Pyro was captured. They fought alongside Scorch against the massive Decepticon, Double Punch. Generation 2: Redux

Not trusting these strange new powers, Cliffjumper made Firecracker demonstrate his pyrotechnic field on Decepticon dummy targets alongside a number of other Autobots. A Flash Forward, Part 2

Notes

  • Firecracker is shown in packaging art for the unreleased Go-Bots Racing Rig as its driver while Greasepit ramps the rig and bursts through the Ring of Fire. Bet he's not happy about that.
