Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~Flame_2401~~Flame 2401.jpg\|frame]] The common motif of adding artificial flames to things so they'll seem more [[Badass]]. This is common in [[Real Life]], especially pertaining to [[Cool Car\|muscle cars]] (the idea being that the car is so fast, it ''literally'' burns as it goes), but there probably isn't a single thing on the planet that hasn't had fire painted on it at some point or another in an attempt to increase its cool factor. In fiction, the possibilities are broader, as detailed below. "Go faster stripes" are a similar phenomenon. Line 9: {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼ ▲== [[Anime and Manga]] == * [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]: [[Ms. Fanservice\|Yoko's]] famous flame-decal bra. * Flamedramon of ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' has flame patterns on his armor, which he can back up with [[Incendiary Exponent\|the real thing]]. When in the Digital World, his partner Davis wears a jacket with a similar pattern. Line 17 ⟶ 16: == [[Film]] == * In [[Michael Bay\|Michael Bay's]] ''[[Transformers (~~Film~~film)\|Transformers]]'' films, Optimus Prime has red flames painted on his blue chassis, letting him keep the iconic red-chest-windows look. ** This wasn't the first time Prime had flame ~~detailing--his~~detailing—his popular Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime toy featured smoldering details on the front and ''a giant portrait of Prime wielding a flamethrower'' on the sides. * Subverted in ''[[Gran Torino]]'' where Thao Vang Lor gets the titular car on the condition that he doesn't "paint any idiotic flames on it like some white trash hillbilly..." * It´s [[Grease~~\|Greased~~]]d Lightnin'! == [[Literature]] == * Harry Wayne, one of Eddie Valiant's poker buddies in ''[[Who Censored Roger Rabbit? ~~(Literature)~~]]?'', is a mechanic who decorated his Chevy with two "flaming belches" he bought from a [[Toon]] dragon. * Katniss of ''[[The Hunger Games]]''. This is intentional from the get-go, as her design team gives her a fire theme and coins the catchphrase "Girl on Fire". The flame motif continues through the trilogy.

''Flames!'' 'Cuz everybody knows that cars with flames are more awesome!}} * Alton's ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?\|stand mixer]]'' in ''[[Good Eats]]'' has flames painted on it. * One episode of ''[[3rd Rock ~~From~~from the Sun]]'' had Dick and Mary get into an [[Escalating War\|escalating prank war]]; Dick took advantage of the fact that he spoke Spanish and Mary didn't to tell her mechanic that she wanted a complete overhaul, including flame paintjob and horn that plays "La Cucaracha". We sadly [[Take Our Word for It\|don't get to see the results]], just the look of abject horror on Mary's face when her car returns. * ''[[~~Kamen Rider Fourze (TV)\|~~Kamen Rider Fourze]]'s'' Fire States has flame art on parts of his armor. There's also some on his schoolbag and shoes. == Music == * Count how many rock musicians (especially drummers) decorate their instruments with this. This is even a part of the decoration options for drummers in [[Rock Band]]. == [[Real Life]] ==▼ * In [[Real Life]], some people who are particularly obsessed with their cars add decals on them, and they almost always involve flames or some other flame-like design. (See [http://www.lcdigitalphotography.com/images/Flames.jpg this awesomeness]). But it could possibly be [[Subverted Trope\|subverted]]; there are some cars that are so "uncool" that adding flames just makes it look corny. Kind of like multiplying one negative number.▼ Line 51 ⟶ 46: == [[Video Games]] == * Bowser's monster truck in ''[[~~Mario Kart (Video Game)\|~~Mario Kart]]: Double Dash!!'', the "Koopa King", has some flames painted on the back. Add six tires with studded rims for the full-throttle [[Badass]] effect. The "Flame Flyer", a heavyweight kart in ''Mario Kart Wii'', is an even better example. * The leopard jeans from ''[[No More Heroes]]'' are dark blue and have flames embroidered on the side. Their item description says this: {{quote\| ''Everyone knows adding flames to something makes it cooler.''}} == [[Western Animation]] == * In ''[[~~Futurama (Animation)\|~~Futurama]]'', Cubert claims that adding flame decals to the [[Cool Ship\|Planet Express ship]] will make it go faster. His reasoning? {{quote\| '''Cubert:''' I'm twelve.}} * In ''[[My Life Asas a Teenage Robot]]'', Jenny prepares for a party by having red and orange flames painted on her feet and calves. * A recurring element of Alex's [[Unlimited Wardrobe]] in ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' is a black shirt with a fire motif in the middle. * On ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends ~~(Animation)~~\|Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]'', Bloo wants to paint Mac's soapbox car in hot-rod flames, but Cheese wants bunnies instead. After much arguing, they compromise and paint ''flaming bunnies'' on the car. {{quote\| '''Bloo:''' I don't even know you anymore.~~<br />~~ '''Mac:''' Shut up. At least the bunnies are on fire. }} * In an episode of ''[[~~The Venture Brothers (Animation)\|~~The Venture Brothers]]'', Hank and Dean get [[Robot Buddy\|H.E.L.P.eR]] a flame job. * Ramone from ''[[Cars]]''. * Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime from ''[[Transformers Generation ~~One~~1]]''. * In the ''[[Mega Man (~~Animation~~animation)\|Mega Man]]'' cartoon, Fire Man has, appropriately enough, a flame pattern on his blasters. ▲== [[Real Life]] == ▲* In [[Real Life]], some people who are particularly obsessed with their cars add decals on them, and they almost always involve flames or some other flame-like design.
