Power bomb Initial Flash

[passarbye]

so I've been asking around the IRC for some answers to this damn yellow power bomb flash.
as you all (should) know, there are two flashes for the power bomb.

1: the after-flash, this one is editable in SMILE and is a large gradient.

2: and the initial flash, which is always yellow and has it's own gradient. stays yellow even if you change the after-flash in SMILE.
(they obviously have different gradient locations)


My question to the community is this:
Has there been any documentation of where this flash is, or any disassembly of the power bomb?

I've already asked some experienced peeps about this in IRC and they tried to help, but have not come up with any results.
I would do this myself, but BF and Crash said that it would take some disassembly of power bomb's routines and such, and i have zero experience with disassembling anything.

For the sake of Project Palette, I'm interested in an answer this too. Same goes with the orange/purple flashes that happen when you collect Varia/Gravity suits.
