Aggressive depigmentation refers to the loss of colour that occurs in the sentio metallico of a Cybertronian after suffering traumatic damage or losing one's natural Spark. In some instances, the natural color of a Transformer will fade, leaving the body various shades of gray.

While not all deceased Transformers necessarily experienced aggressive depigmentation on death, those Cybertronians exposed to the corrosive effects of magic were more prone to displaying the condition. Both Centurion Ghost in the Machine and Kup depigmented after death, while Breakdown's arm experienced similar effects immediately after coming into contact with magical energy. Schismatic
While travelling back to the Lost Light aboard Skip, Ratchet inexplicably succumbed to aggressive depigmentation despite being alive. Sardines
Trivia
- Aggressive depigmentation is, of course, a fancy name for the long tradition of Transformers turning grey upon death.
