Regeneration Costume Emote

I'm not sure if anyone's thought of this yet, but what would be an incredible costume change emote to see would be a Doctor Who regeneration effect.

I want to say there's one in the repertoire that looks a bit like that already, but I can't remember which one it is, or if in fact my memory is just making it up because it would be so cool. Although... can they make costume change emotes colorable? I don't think there's a mechanism in the UI for that. Which would be kind of a shame; be nice to be able to make it match your powers instead of just being orange.

On the topic of costume change emotes, I'd like to see something like what Ciel (The one on the left) does at the start of a match.

They can't alter the color on the fly currently, but they could make a copy of the emote in another color.

I think the CCemote that reminds me most of Doctor Who is the Dimension Shift, but all of them are way too fast to be like the slow regeneration.

Well, they can't make it take too long, it's a costume change. A long build-up would be out of place. I mean, it's not teleporting to Pocket D.

What if it was a defeat-based emote?

A resurrect power like that would be possible, though annoyingly long. Also they would have to extend to invulnerable time or maybe leave it like the Doctor, as in you can die during regeneration for good. :P

But how could we go about that.
And don't say Doppleganger tech since I REALLY doubt that would work for this.

Edit: Also PALETTE SWAAAAAAAAAAPS!

Nah, I was thinking something more like summoning a mass (of... something) that melds onto the player (more than likely going to be a black mass) and then the mass disappears, revealing the player in the new costume.

Player 2 Captain Photon is easily achieved with SG mode!

Recolored "Stone Block" emote (currently purchasable for Incarnate merits) might be close enough for some.
