Line 11:
Of course, Tron Lines are [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]. Usually blue is "good" or at least standard; if they turn red or purple the [[AI Is a Crapshoot]] or else has been [[Everything Is Online|taken over by some virus or hacker.]] The lines get fainter or even turn off the closer the person or device is to deactivation. Likewise any power-up usually results in brighter lines; [[Explosive Overclocking|pushing this to the limit]] causes every line to have a fan of light shining out.
 
The ultimate expression of [[Shiny -Looking Spaceships]]. See also [[Instant Runes]], essentially the [[Functional Magic|Magic]] version, and [[Volcanic Veins]], an organic equivalent seen among [[Elemental Embodiment|Elemental Embodiments]]. Equipping your car or computer with neons and strobes counts as [[Truth in Television]] to some degree, though it's well known these things need their own power supply to get them running.
{{examples|Examples}}
 
== Anime & Manga ==
* [[Tower of God|Rabdevil's]] Devil of the Right Hand is a magically equipped device enclosing the arm and greatly increasing it's power. And it has shiny stripes.
* In ''[[Gao Gai GarGaoGaiGar (Anime)|Gao Gai Gar]] FINAL'', Evoludar Guy gets them glowing through his skin sometimes due to his body being composed of G-Stone based [[Nanomachines]] or something like that.
* In ''[[Gundam 00]]'', whenever the 4 main Gundams go into the [[Super Mode|super powered Trans-Am mode]], they gain Tron Lines and a healthy red glow.
* In ''[[Infinite Ryvius (Anime)|Infinite Ryvius]]'', the Ryvius lights up with Tron Lines when first activated.
Line 171:
* Althena's Tower in ''[[Lunar Silver Star Story Complete]]'' sports these.
* Shows up a lot on ancient [[Magitek]] manipulated by the heroes in ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]]'' games.
** A recurring puzzle is a broken circut, and a few movable blocks lying around that happen to have corresponding circut lines etched on them. When finished, the circut glows, and [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|a door opens]].
** ''[[Golden Sun Dark Dawn (Video Game)|Dark Dawn]]'' takes this a few notches further; summons such as Tiamat and Coatlicue now involve towers covered in Tron Lines, and a [[Mineral MacGuffin]] material, zol, apparently is covered in such lines naturally. Plus the "fix the circut" puzzle shows up several times.
** Zol nothing, the Mountain Roc's ''guts'' have Tron Lines on them.
