{{trope}}

 

Lots of [[Phlebotinum]] is voice activated: [[Star Trek|Kirk]] talked to the computer, [[Knight Rider|Michael talked to KITT]], [[Automan]] talked to Cursor. But there is no place where a voice activation is more universally required than when triggering a [[Transformation Sequence]].

* ''[[Tekkaman Blade]]'' has "Tek Setter!".

When she finds herself outmatched by the numerically superior Reapers, she shouts '''''[[Shazam]]!''''' at the top of her lungs.
