Misfire makes a mark that is immediately apparent upon first setting eyes upon it. Looking like the victim of an explosion of color, Misfire is covered in multi-hued designs and patterns utilizing as many variations as possible. While appearing to be random upon first glance, there is a certain uniformity to the chaotic display of the artist.

Misfire has had most of the factory installed safety limitations on operation removed, both in the hardware and software, allowing this BB Unit Astromech Droid to perform acts at the limits of its physical capabilities. This can make the droid stronger and more resiliant than a standard BB Unit Astromech Droid, but at great risk to the droid itself or others.

Misfire has developed a quirked personality, granting it an inclination towards heavy doses of sarcasm when engaged in dialogue. As a result, Misfire comes across as having issues taking direction and developed a reputation for 'snark'.
