Taken from CO Forums

Costume Changes
We are introducing a new type of item, Costume Transformations! These items unlock costume transformation animations for your costume slots!
Once you have unlocked one, you can go into the tailor and choose what costume transformation you want a costume to use.

• There is a new tab in the tailor for costume transformations, it is currently using a placeholder icon.
  
• When you change to that costume your character will play an animation before changing to that costume.
  
• Costume transformations will not play if you are in combat.
  
• Costume transformations will not play if you are using the following travel powers: any tunneling travels, any swinging travels, Wild Speed, Scarab flight, Bat Flight, Shadow Skull Flight.
  
• Costume transformations will not play if you are using the following powers: Vapor Form.
  
• Costume transformations will not play if you are using any Become device.
  
• Costume transformations bind to the character that unlocks them. 
  
• Once bound, that transformation is available for any of the costume slots on that character.
  
• Some Costume Transformations may come bundled with an emote as well.
  
• Known Issue: Sound has not been added to most of the transitions.

• Power Strikes, Takeoff costume transformations.

That idea sounds so cool it makes me ask "why did it take them so long!" Looking forward to checking that out  : )

So basically the /ccemotes from City of Heroes?  That's cool, but, yeah, I do wonder what took them so long.

Edit: I read the thread, and carrionbaggage (one of the Moderators) posted pictures of all of them, about halfway down the page.  They're pretty neat, though some have buggy timing at the moment, and I'm disappointed that Electric Storm is not actually a "Shazam" lightning bolt (but more like an electric explosion).

Not really surprised. I recently watched the intro to both games and they copied City of Heroes. They filmed it in different angles.

Copy away, I say. I can think of no better game to do so.

I'm not liking that they're bound per character. Otherwise good for them.
