== Western Animation ==
* ''[[WITCH (animation)|W.I.T.C.H.]]''{{context}}
* ''[[Winx Club]]'' and its [[Spin-Off]] ''[[Pop Pixie]]''{{context}}
* ''[[Centurions]]'' -- About a 15-second sequence, as all the various parts of the chosen weapons system would beam in and attach to the hero's exo-frame, ending with the helmet rudely clamping on to the head. Often showed all three heroes transforming back-to-back, and had the same [[Invocation|trigger phrase]]: "Power Xtreme!" (Later episodes of the show usually skipped the stock footage, and just showed the pieces appearing and attaching all at once. The two [[Sixth Ranger]]s added later never even got the stock footage versions).
* ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'', when it was a [[Filmation]] production, got maximum mileage out of Prince Adam's transformation into He-Man with lots of digital pyrotechnics for very little physical change. (He-Man looked identical to Adam except for a tan and a deeper voice; [[Wig, Dress, Accent|how nobody put two and two together is baffling]].) If Cringer was present, his transformation into Battle Cat would further pad the scene.
** He-Man's [[Distaff Counterpart|twin sister]] [[She-Ra: Princess of Power|She-Ra]] had a similar sequence, but it was actually longer (and more sparkly). Like Cringer becoming Battle-Cat, She-Ra's talking horse Spirit would become the winged unicorn Swiftwind.
** In contrast, in the more recent 2004 series, He-Man's transformation takes mere seconds and he looks almost nothing like Prince Adam, though it retains its predecessor's [[Stock Footage]] ability to be used time and time again.
* Spoofed in an episode of ''[[Invader Zim]]''. Gir begins a Transformation Sequence, complete with music, lights, and midair spinning... and then simply steps into his dog costume and zips it up.
Line 456:
* In ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', Cyborg had a rather epic one in ''The End: Part 1''. He connects himself to the main Titans Tower power system, unloads some very big guns against a glowing white background with crackling electricity and shoots Slade and his minions with the mother of all sonic blasts. ...Doesn't stop Slade, but it was worth a shot. Unfortunately, this is never used again.
* ''[[Kaeloo]]'', [[Once an Episode]]. Somewhat odd as she has been shown on many occasions to be able to transform into her [[Hulking Out|Bad Kaeloo]] form near-instantly.
* In the 2023 series ''[[My Adventures with Superman]]'', Superman's costume is Kryptonian nanotech, and activating it gives him a transformation sequence that owes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0carYsbEv8Y more than a little to ''Sailor Moon''].
