Before the [[Ordinary High School Student]] (or a hidden Bad Guy) can access her (or his) secret powers, there must be a power-up. This usually involves a change of form or at least costume, although the precise mechanisms usually vary by type. In Japanese television, this is called (a) ''henshin''. By genre, this usually goes as follows:
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
Transformation Sequences are good for a show's budget because they provide a large amount of [[Stock Footage]] that can be (and often ''must'' be) [[
Rarely is there a special-effects sequence for changing ''back''.
Line 442 ⟶ 443:
'''Cartman:''' That didn't help at all.
'''Head:''' We know. [[Rule of Cool|It's just cool to do.]] }}
* Played almost completely straight in the ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' short "The Amazing Three", when Babs breaks out the "Acme Loo Wonder Makeup Kit"
* Lampshaded and spoofed in ''[[Megas XLR]]'': when a group of [[Magical Girl]]s confront Jamie, they transforms. Jamie just stands there waiting patiently and bored, until they finally finish after more than a minute.

Line 456 ⟶ 457:
* [[Super Duper Sumos]]: The sumos goes through a transformation sequence to become "Sumo-Sized."
* 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.
