Line 72:
* Present in all the riders of the ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]'' universe, which powers all the gears. The lines only glow during the [[Transformation Sequence]], although the [[Finishing Move|finishers]] all involve a pulse of energy traveling from the [[Transformation Trinket|Rider Belt]] to an arm or leg. The [[All There in the Manual|supplementary materials]] say that these lines carry a substance known as [[Applied Phlebotinum|Photon Blood]], which may explain why [[Justified Trope|they need actual 'lines' to carry it]]. It's part of Faiz's the slightly more "realistic" idea of the way a Rider suit works. Energy is always seen traveling from the power source to the place it's going to be used (not just the arm or leg, but specific devices on it). For Rider Kick finishers, it's the circle on the boot with the Rider's emblem.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]''
** In ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'', Ecliptor's body is covered with green Tron Lines. The Dark Fortress is also half-solid and half-green Tron Lines (as in, half of it seems to be ''made'' of green Tron Lines) in many scenes. Interestingly, most establishment shots make it appear to be in another dimension, and when it's in normal space, the Tron Line half becomes solid before it actually interacts with the outside world (such as sending out fighters or putting the Rangers' ship in that web thing). It stays Tronified during [[Make My Monster Grow]] scenes, though.
** In ''[[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive]],'' the in-scene non-[[Transformation Sequence]] morphs and demorphs are very much like ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]'', though a lot faster and with optional dramatic use of [[Sigil Spam|the Overdrive logo]].
* In ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek Voyager]]'', one mid-series episode had some of Seven's nanoprobes infect the Doctor's 29th century mobile emitter, eventually resulting in a highly-advanced Borg drone, featuring extrapolations of the Borg in that century. More sleek and organic-looking than the usual drone, it also had embedded Tron Lines which pulsed at regular intervals.
