Fourth Transformation

The is a super evolutionDaizenshuu 6, 1995 transformation taken on by members of the Frieza Race. This form allows the user to ascend beyond their true forms. It is a fourth Transforming Ability, which increases the user's combat capabilities instead of lessening them. The transformation causes the user's offensive and defensive power to increase.
==Appearance==
When Cooler uses this form, he gains significant height and bulk, as well as four white horns on his head, a spike on each forearm, and a white tip on his tails. His eyes turn pure red, and he gains a bio-visor slide over their mouths (which echoes their voice). It also seems like the users have the ability to make the skin around their eyes turn pitch black. The form also caused bio-gems to grow on their arms and legs and sharp blades to come out of their wrists or ankles at the back. The users' voices are also altered to some degree (for example, Cooler's voice upon accessing this transformed state becomes significantly deeper and more menacing).
==Usage and Power==
This form boosts the user's power greatly, as it allowed Cooler - whose base form was comparable to Goku's - to easily defeat Kaio-ken Goku, however, he was easily beaten by Super Saiyan Goku. A 2004 V-Jump issue places Cooler's power level in this form at 470,000,000.
It is hinted by the Dragon Book that King Cold possess this form, as the book notes that Cold appears to be the type who increases his abilities by transforming.
In Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, after an initial clash with Goku, Cooler reveals the depths of his training and intimidates Goku by revealing his transformation, with Goku quickly noting how Cooler's power and ki in the form easily eclipses that of Full Power Frieza's during their battle on Namek. Cooler proves this by effortlessly trouncing Goku despite the latter's use of Kaio-ken, to the point where he easily phases through a Kaio-ken Kamehameha with Nova Chariot, taking no visible damage in the process. However, like Frieza, Cooler is put on the back foot when Goku becomes a Super Saiyan and easily tanks Cooler's attacks in turn, overwhelming the tyrant with his superior speed and strength. Once Cooler used his ultimate technique, the Supernova Cooler, Goku even as a Super Saiyan had to put tremendous effort into countering his attack, but he was ultimately able to overpower Cooler and blast him into the sun, also forcing Cooler out of the transformation shortly afterward. This act, however, left Goku so drained that he afterward could not defend himself against the much weaker Salza, despite Salza's own injuries. Cooler while in the form mentions that he can easily gather his ki and charge his attacks much faster than his brother, implying that the transformation does not affect Cooler's stamina or ki control to a meaningful extent.
It is implied that Cooler had only recently gained the form, due to his telling Goku to consider what he was to do an honor due to his being the first (and last in the original Japanese) person to witness his transformation.
In Dragon Ball GT, Cooler also briefly appears in this form when he escapes from Hell though he proves to be no match for any of the Z Fighters and is sent back to Hell.
In Super Dragon Ball Heroes, Cooler appears in this form and appears to be able to maintain it for as long as he desires with no adverse effects. His version of the Golden Frieza form also possesses traits of the Fourth Transformation.
==Advancements==
*Golden Form hybrid state - When Cooler transforms into his Golden Cooler form, he does so while already being in his Fourth Transformation, resulting in a form with the hybrid appearance of both states. Prior to this, the Frieza Clan Berserker also displayed a form that resembled a hybrid of the two.
==Similar form==
In the Dragon Ball GT live show, Frieza is revealed to have attained a power-up, a transformation above his Final Form. It appears much different from Cooler's fifth form, more closely resembling Frieza's first form with several modifications such as much smaller horns (which are yellow), yellow horns that go along the gem on his head, and horns on his shoulder gems. His body's color also changes: his gems become black, his skin becomes teal, his helmet area turns green, and his armored parts become red and black.
Frieza uses this state alongside Cell's new powered up form in their hunt for Goku, during this time Frieza easily defeats Trunks by simply powering up near him. Frieza believes that he and the powered-up Cell would together be strong enough to defeat Goku.

Cooler has this form in the majority of video games he appears in, including the Budokai series, Budokai Tenkaichi series, and Raging Blast series. In the Cooler's Revenge story mode for Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Cooler transforms into the form off-screen in the cutscene immediately prior to the first fight against said form, with the transformation itself simply being represented by an earthquake that Goku barely braced himself for. In the cutscene prior to the Goku and Final Form Cooler fight, it was shown that even merely transforming into the form would result in an earthquake.
In Shin Budokai - Another Road, Frieza gains this form where he obtains the form in Cooler's arcade mode at some point after the two brothers battle, though he is never actually shown in the state on-screen, he does transform off-screen as referenced by Cooler.
In Dragon Ball Heroes, the Frieza Clan Berserker uses a similar form when using the Super Class-up. It is also shown that Golden Cooler retains traits of Cooler's Fourth Transformation while having the same color as Golden Frieza (presumably this is due to the Fourth Transformation being Cooler's equivalent to Frieza's True Form).
The Frieza Race Future Warriors in the Xenoverse series can be customized to look like Super Evolution. Percel also appears in this form. In Xenoverse 2, it is displayed by Cooler that enough training in this form will allow the user to achieve the Metal Cooler form. Additionally, the Frieza Race Future Warrior can be customized to resemble the form.
Coolieza uses the form upon his creation in Dragon Ball Fusions, where he has the appearance of Frieza in the fourth transformation, thanks to being a fusion of Frieza and Cooler. The alien Shabbet appears to be in the fifth form.
In FighterZ, Cooler has a gold recolor though lacks his Golden Cooler form as an actual in-game transformation.
In World Mission, the Fourth Transformation is known as Final Form.
