In some cases, the extreme power surge during Powerlinking can result in temporary or even permanent discoloration of a Transformer's metallic skin.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:"Powerlink Process"More Than Meets The Eye: Armada|"Powerlink Process"{{#if:More Than Meets The Eye: Armada|, More Than Meets The Eye: Armada|}}|}}

Spontaneous recoloration (aka the colour change phenomenon) refers to the temporary or permanent alternation of a Transformer's exostructure, usually in response to an energy surge. Usually (but not always) this external color change signifies a higher energy-state within the Transformer's body accompanied by increased (or even entirely new)<ref>Such as Starscream's Null Beam Cannon in the Energon episode "Wishes".</ref> abilities.

Spontaneous recoloration is similar to reformatting. Unlike reformatting, which wreaks wholesale physical alterations to the transformer's physical form, recoloring is completely cosmetic.

For unknown reasons, spontaneous recoloration does not uniformly re-tint existing surface pigments, but may result in completely different color arrangements, or even add entirely new "badass" detailing, such as flames or racing stripes.

Recoloration should not be confused with surface coatings such as electrum or a silver coat.
