Hey Tim,
Model them as tinly cylinders and apply color and texture. If you are using Photolux, the sky is the limit. You could make them glow! Think the marketing guys will like that? 🐵
Seriously, create a pattern of your explode lines and during the Explode state move them where you need them. Render up with the quality, color,transparency etc...you need and presto! Instant Magic.
