Line 21:
* The 0 Gundam does this after it is impaled on Exia's GN Sword in the finale of ''[[Gundam 00]]'', complete with the entire mobile suit going limp before it explodes.
** In the first season, the entire face mask on '''[[Say My Name|HOWARD MASOOOOOONNNNN]]''''s flag goes dark when it is turned into a pin cushion by the Throne Zwei's GN Fangs.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''s Unit 01. Its eyes tend go out when it runs out of power or the pilot's [[Synchronization]] is interrupted by something. Although if the pilot's in sufficiently deep shit, its probably going to [[Mama Bear|get right back up]] with the eyes [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|lighting up again]]. Especially noticeable in ''End of Evangelion'' when Unit 01 simply turns off while hovering in mid-air to represent that Shinji hitting his [[Despair Event Horizon]] resulted in him losing his chance of fighting back for good.
** ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' does it a little differently. When Unit 01 runs out of power, the green parts of its armor fade out along with the eye. Makes sense as the armor is [[Restraining Bolt|the only part that actually requires power]]. Similarly, while the dummy plug-controlled Unit 01 is strangling Unit 03, Unit 03's eyes are shown flickering before Unit 01 breaks its neck with sheer strength. Right before Unit 01 punches Unit 03's head so hard [[Gorn|it splatters like a watermelon]], Unit 03's face is shown once again with the eye still flickering but much dimmer.
* In [[Fullmetal Alchemist]], whenever Alphonse's soul is "unconscious", or being pulled over to the Gate, his eye-lights go out.
Line 88:
* Cyborg in ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]''.
* Tornado Tyrant in ''[[Batman the Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]''.
* D.A.V.E in ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'', as a [[Shout -Out]] to HAL.
