History Main / EmergencyTransformation

* In ''Film/WeAreTheNight'' it is forbidden to turn men into vampires. The last male vampires were [[{{Gendercide}} killed by the female vampires]] a few centuries ago. But in the course of the plot, Lena falls in love with the policeman Tom. However, the vampire Louise injures him so badly that he is unlikely to survive the injuries. The last scene shows that Lena actually wants to transform him so that he can survive these injuries as a vampire, but hesitates at the last moment. Tom's fate is thus unknown. In the book, however, it is clearer. She turns him so that he survives and the wounds heal instantly, making Tom the first male vampire in centuries.

* In [[https://www.deviantart.com/slifofinadragon SilfofinaDragon]]'s ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' fanfics, Date Masamune and Katakura Kojuro change into a horse and a panther respectively from potions brewed by [[HotWitch Kyogoku Maria]], as means to protect Masamune and Sanada Yukimura's children. Both of them change back [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing minus any clothing]] after getting [[TrueLovesKiss smooched]] by Yukimura and Masamune & Yukimura's son Masa respectively (and here's an illustration of [[https://www.deviantart.com/misakiyu/art/Changed-Back-2-786035017 Masamune changing back after Yukimura kisses him]].

* In an early WebOriginal/ShadowrunStorytime session, Geppetto gets a chestful of automatic gunfire. The closest the team has to an emergency trauma surgeon contact is a ghoul organlegger named John. If he does the work, Geppetto ''will'' contract HMHVV. Geppetto acknowledges the risk and accepts it. Dr. John has him infected with a different strain first so he turns into a banshee instead of a ghoul, something that can still pass for metahuman.

** However, Daniel underwent the Headmaster process and became Arcee's partner after being ''half-eaten'' by a beast Decepticon (You'd think nearly doing in TheScrappy would have [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome made him a household name]], but no.) and will presumably be stuck in that exosuit ''forever.'' [[AlasPoorScrappy Poor guy]].

* ''Fanfic/DateALiveAlteredTimeline'': Like [[LightNovel/DateALive canon]], Tohka was born a Spirit, but [[spoiler: in order to prevent her from dying due to her body destabilizing, Mio had to absorb her and then absorb a dead human's body, combining the two and making her part Human like the other Sephira Spirits]].

* ''Film/NearDark'' features a variation in which Caleb is cured of vampirism by means of a total blood transfusion, although it was more of a long term solution than an emergency gambit.
* Why Caster was uploaded into a computer in the first place in ''Film/{{Transcendence}}''.
* ''Film/DarkShadows'': Barnabas Collins bites [[spoiler:Victoria and transforms her into a vampire to save her from a fall off the cliff at the end]].
* ''Film/{{Replicas}}'': Most of William's patients were people that had recently died who could be saved by uploading their consciousness into a new body.

* The film [[InNameOnly named]] ''Film/IRobot'' had this happen with cybernetics to Lt. Spooner, combining WhatMeasureIsANonHuman, SurvivorGuilt, and [[FantasticRacism robophobia]].

* ''Film/{{Doom}}'' has the main character injected with the [[GreenRocks superhuman and/or demon serum]] after being fatally injured in a textbook example. The treatment he took theoretically has no disadvantages associated with it, however it does run the risk of getting oneself [[spoiler:transformed into a vicious, murderous mutant creature]]. Part of the explanation was that [[spoiler:the "demons" themselves instinctively only tried to infect those with the "evil gene" or potential for evil or whatever, which is what made them monsters due to the virus/serum. So in theory, any person that the demons didn't purposely infect to turn into monsters would develop super-powers instead]].
* This is the origin story for ''Franchise/RoboCop''. Shot, run over and brutalized by drug dealers [[Film/RoboCop1987 in his 1987 debut]], Officer Murphy would have died from his injuries... ''should'' have died from his injuries... if it weren't for the Detroit Police Department having a deal with [[MegaCorp OCP]], who as part of a drive to manufacture a police force capable of dealing with the rampant crime decided WeCanRebuildHim. The result? Only parts of his upper torso are still organic, part of his brain has been replaced with computers, and he has problems feeling and even recovering his free will. One amazingly cruel scene has one of the doctors mention they could save one of his arms, but the CorruptCorporateExecutive blithely orders it lopped off (although he's [[JerkassHasAPoint potentially right]] that it would just be a hindrance). Amazingly, his [[TheFettered dedication to duty]] allowed him to [[WhatHaveIBecome survive the change]], [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul recover his humanity]] and make impressive crime busts, even managing a ZerothLawRebellion with a little help from an OCP executive.

* {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''Film/{{Avatar}}'': When Dr. Augustine is mortally wounded after being shot, she and her avatar are brought to the Tree of Souls [[spoiler:with the purpose of transferring her consciousness permanently into her avatar. However, the transition fails as her human body is too gravely wounded. It does, however, succeed with Jake at the end of the film]]. Unfortunately not a subversion of NoBiochemicalBarriers.
* In ''Film/Thirst2009'', accidental vampire Sang-hyeon makes a last-minute decision to save his human lover Tae-ju by this means. [[AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp At first]], this seems [[ILoveYouVampireSon pretty positive]]. [[IHateYouVampireDad At first]]...

* ''Film/TheAnimal'' explores the [[SarcasmMode serious ramifications]] of a near dead man having his organs replaced with those of various animals.
