Trapcode Form and Particular ship with multiple sprites that can be used as particles.
To create a custom sprite sequence in Trapcode Form, create a small resolution pre-comp, set each asset to one frame and use Sequence Layers to position them sequentially.
After choosing this pre-comp from the texture category select Random Still Frame to avoid cycling the images.
