Being hit by a disruptor with the Atomic power-up in effect will do some weird stuff. For example, when the disruptor energy wears off while atomic, your attacks will return to normal while you are still oversized and glowing. And if the atomic wears off while frozen, you'll not be glowing purple anymore but still stuck in place.
