Transformation Animation Suggestions

bluhmanbluhman Posts: 2,410 Arc User
So with the PTS getting new costume-change animations, I just have some ideas for more:
  • Melt - Like the roin'esh, you change form as a wave of sticky slime washes over you. Useful for shapeshifters and evolving biological terrors.
  • Freshen Up - In a flurry of toothbrushes, razors, soap suds, and shower water, you tidy yourself up to transition to a different costume, and emerge squeaky clean, hands on hips.
  • Assembly - Standing still, a pair of Dr. Destroyer-esque cranes drop out of the sky to weld at your body, hopefully assembling you into your new costume. For robots and powered armors seeking upgrades.
  • Uncontrolled - You double over in pain as a red glow envelops you. As you fall to your knees, you cry out and transform into your other form. Alternative to howl if you want to be edgier, or some kind of Dr. Jekkyl/Mr. Hyde dealie.
  • 'Excuse me for one second...' You look over your shoulder as you hold up a finger. Then, you dash off at insane speed, and immediately return in your other costume! Ideal if you're a speedster and want to fool civilians that you're someone else.
  • Back from the dead - A coffin falls on top of you. As you open its lid and come shambling out, you're now in your other costume.

    For Science! - You produce a glass flask/vial as if from nowhere that contains a green fluorescent fluid and proceed to drink it. Then you are bent over and writhing in pain until you are transformed in a green acrid mist. Your final transformed state is momentarily in a hulking beast type stance before reverting to the stance chosen for the costume.

    Super-Serum - You produce a syringe as if from nowhere that contains a green fluorescent fluid and proceed to inject youself in the arm. Then you are bent over and writhing in pain and become larger (a growth stack or two) while at the same time as becoming larger, you transform . Your final transformed state has hands on hips.

    MG, that first one i think we already have that both those animations in game too, just have to combine them.
  • spordeliaspordelia Posts: 460 Arc User
    Love these (especially ‘Melt”!). :+1:
    The animations are excellent, but going forward I’d also like to see some transformations that are more FX-focused/exclusive; i.e for shifting while in motion.

    •Power Form:
    giphy.gifgiphy.gif
    (Something like this, paired with the Power-Up emote, maybe...?)
  • Collect Call - A phone booth appears behind you, your character walks in for a second then emerges in a new outfit and does the 'fists on hips' pose while the booth vanishes.

    Shadow/Light/Custom Burst - Pretty straightforward and simple. You explode in a burst of Shadow/Light/Customizable color and transform into your new attire.

    Tag team- Your "2nd Costume" runs from the side of the screen and tags your "current costume" out. I know, sounds complicated to implement, but still throwing it here

    Possesion- A ghostly, slightly larger version of your 2nd Costume descends on you while you writhe in agony, turning into your 2nd costume in a flash of light.
  • lezard21lezard21 Posts: 1,510 Arc User
    Flame on! - Your character gets surrounded on a burst of flames, emerging on his new outfit when flames dissipate

    Solidify- Your character gets trapped inside a frozen tomb, which shatters revealing your character on it's new outfit

    Circle of Costume Change (Weapon required)- Your character draws it's weapon, spins it around forming a circle changing to it's 2nd costume on a flash of light. Something like this motion:

    Kaboom - You initiate a self-destruct sequence, exploding into your new costume. This could re-purpose the FX from the Splosions action figure.

    be a fun teleport too
  • omnilord#8416 omnilord Posts: 348 Arc User
    Here's a couple of my own:

    Rise From The Pit- Your character vanishes to explode from the ground in their new costume. Maybe variants of this to rise from a lava puddle for fire, a shard of rock juts from the ground before exploding revealing your character for earth, and maybe a black lava puddle and ghostly specters for dark supernatural.

    High Gale- A cyclone whirls around you, obscuring your character. Then it fades to reveal your new costume.

    I Have the Poooooooowaaah!! - You raise your weapon high and it is enveloped in energy which then spreads to your whole body, you are then transformed in a blinding flash.

    p4eYBf9.gif



    Lightning Bolt! - A lightning bolt comes from the sky, strikes you and transforms you in a blinding flash. Bonus points for an arms out stance.

    CjP4fxy.gif



    Energy Rings - Two energy rings appear in the middle of your body and then seperate. One goes up, the other down, revealing your new costume

    I totally wanted to list a costume change that just treats your costumes as different people, but again, duplicating/exchanging a player model sounds super complicated.

    More silly ideas:


    Face Wipe - You raise your palm over your head, and then lower it over your body with a quick motion. After you do this, you're suddenly in your other costume.

    img]Pull Off - You pull off your current outfit as it falls to the ground in (costume color) tatters, revealing your other costume below it.

    FCrthQQ.png

    Wardrobe Malfunction - Same as Pull Off, but also appends an extra animation where the character looks embarrased and covers up.

    Drop-In - Your other costume drops in from above, and you step inside it. Optimal for power armors.
    If costume copies can't be created, have the animation create a cloud of dust as a tech crate falls from above, then opens to reveal the new costume.

    Hell and Back Again - You're dragged underground by zombie hands, then crawl back from the ground in your alternate costume. Alternative transformation for undead characters, or demon characters.

    Morph (light) - Weird proof of concept, your current costume's proportions tween into those of your other costume as you glow and power up. In a flash of light, your costume then transfers over to the new one.

    Morph (dark) - Similar to the other, your costume's proportions tween into those of the other, but instead your character model darkens as you double over. In a roar, your costume then fully changes.

    ....if we got a stripper breakaway pant transform I would take these items more serious
  • spinnytopspinnytop Posts: 16,450 Arc User
    You know what happens to people when you shoot them with the Fun Cannon? Make a transform animation where you get knocked over with a big cloud of glitter, and when you stand back up you're wearing the new costume o3o call it... Fun Transformation...​​
  • spinnytopspinnytop Posts: 16,450 Arc User
    MMMMMMM this might be... not feasible, but something where you disappear into a genie lamp and then come back out in your new costume. Even if it's just you > puff of smoke > genie lamp sitting there > puff of smoke > new you, that would be cool.​​

    And not literally becoming a meachadino or Tony Stank the Inevitable Irondude. But techbased transformations where the armor costume pieces kind of pop-in/slide-in places one by one.

    Biological: Your character gets encased in a cocoon and then burst out in alternate costume. Good for insect/bio-engineer themes.
  • spinnytopspinnytop Posts: 16,450 Arc User
    Explode Transformation: Your character flexes and looks like they're super constipated, and then there is a big explosion, and when the smoke clears there you are in your new outfit.​​

    That is it chief, that is the one. I grew up on transformers I would flip if they added this. I like all the current emotes they gave us especially "Takeoff" because it looks like a hero switch since they will not give us custom sidekicks

    Orbital Cannon Transformation. Basically Orbital Cannon hits you, and when it ends there you are in your fancy new duds.​​
  • horripilantehorripilante Posts: 320 Arc User
    Censored Transformation

    Basically a large black square with the word "Censored" appears on your characters, clothes fly away and when the black square dissappears you have a new outfit on.

    Also censorship bars for costume pieces (eyes, chest and waist)

    Discreet Censored Transformation

    Black bars only appear over your nips and your groin. Same for all genders.​​
