| This article is about the process of a Transformer spontaneously changing color. For other instances of color changing, see color change (disambiguation). |
In some cases, the extreme power surge during Powerlinking can result in temporary or even permanent discoloration of a Transformer's metallic skin."Powerlink Process", More Than Meets The Eye: Armada
Spontaneous recoloration 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)[1] 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.
Temporary recoloration
(spon-tan-e-ous coloration!)
cause our colors change around
(spon-tan-e-ous coloration!)
Permanent recoloration
Beast Wars
Armada
Characters recolored due to a Mini-Con supplied upgrade:
Energon
Characters recolored as the result of Primus' energy pulse.
Within Hasbro's toyline, many of these recolors represent different characters, rather than spontaneous recoloration.
Characters recolored by Super Energon:
- Megatron (again)
- Starscream (again)
Cybertron
Recolored by the power of a Cyber Planet Key:
- Megatron (yet again)
