Anyone know some good games/movies/etc with a lot of TF? :P
9 years ago
I know it's a bit of a niche genre and I've probably seen a lot of them already, but I've been really hankering for some good ol' fashioned transformation, either in movie or interactive format. Anyone got any favourites? Either a small bit or a lot, any TF is good TF! :B
I mean, I've poked around a lot at that flash game here on little ol' FA called Nimin. It's entertaining, but it does get a tad repetitive and grindy after a while. The only couple of mainstream games that I can remember off the top of my head are, letsee…
- Majora's Mask, which is still probs my favourite Zelda game, for obvious reasons :B
- E.V.O., which had a cute little evolution mechanic. I suppose I ought to go back and properly finish that one someday.
- The unfortunately very mediocre Scaler… :\
- What else…? there must've been at least a few more… dangit…
So yeah, It's hard to find something that's more adventurous than just a tame "were-something" game mechanic (things like Twilight Princess… or… ¬_¬ the were-hog…)
And as for movies, all I can remember right now is The Sword in the Stone? Oh yeah, and Widget, the World Watcher used to be my jams back when I was a kid. :P The Magic School Bus had some fun TF every now and then (reptiles! wooooo!). Plus the Aladdin cartoon series had one or two TF episodes sprinkled in there
There's probably plenty I've forgotten/missed over the years though, which is why I'm curious to hear from you folks to remind/introduce me to them (I know I'm going to be hitting myself over a lot of ones I can't remember right now…) :B
Oh btw just in case anyone wants a heads up or whatever, my birthday is this weekend (the 9th)! :D I'm not entirely sure what to do, apart from stay home like a lazy lizard, which is what I do every weekend :V

There's a Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair on Steam, but I think that's a different game.
The Guyver movie has some neat practical effects transformations in it. And Mark Hamill!
I'm always a sucker for the Teen Wolf movie.
If you want something weird with merging and stuff, check out Society. I can't say it's a super great movie, but it goes, uh, places.
Also Freaked is one of those "cult classic" movies that has some great creature effects and it's got some super weird claymation transformations.
Now that I think about it I never actually got a chance to read the end of the series. I was more in it for the TF adventures then I was about the grimdark alien invasion plot :O
As for movies, Sword in the Stone had quite a few scenes with magical TF, and then an all out battle of magic TF.
Another was The Witches, while not full of it had at least two kids turn into mice.
I remember watching The Witches, that was an… odd movie… :V

Dragon-Kazooie and the regular TFs definitely were the parts I loved the most, they had some hilarious TF-based quests :3
My second-favourite mechanic was Chuffy the train, driving cargo 'n' stuff between worlds :B
Oh, and as long as I'm thinking of N64 games... the one that really should've come to mind is Space Station Silicon Valley. You had to kill robotic animals and take over their bodies... so you got to try loads of different forms that each had different move sets. Unfortunately there's some glitches that prevent 100% completion (you can beat the game, but not collect all the trophies) but it was one of my favorites.
Also could've had a TF game out by now if you were more interested in the idea... still surprised you weren't, I got it from talking to you after all D:
batman beyond had 2 of them,
-one being curse of the kobra which had dino/lizard tfs
-the other one called "Splicers" really cool episode from what i remember with tfs galore
another fantastic one was from The Batman
the episode's called "Attack of the Terrible Trio" basically 3 nerds get/create the ability to tf themselves and things go out of hand, leading to them wanting to tf everyone in their school
Theres always the classics like "the fly" "jimanji" or "district 9" for movies
those are the only things i can think of at the moment hope that helps, definitely try to check out "splicers" and "attack of the terrible trio"
those 2 are my favorite
Sorry I should say this earlier but till I finish my bloody essay it is already 3AM in Brisbane time, damn....xD
Ahhh, bed time :3
For cartoons, maybe the Batman episode where the catwoman got mutated into an actual, ehm... catwoman. TFs also occurred in shows like Jonny Quest, Swat Kats, as well as in the newer (generally little kid friendly) shows like Johnny Test or the Fairly Oddparents. Or maybe Teen Titans or Young Justice, which both have the DC Comics character Beast Boy, whose power is shapeshifting.
I don't really know which movies to recommend, though. But you could take a look at the Howling III. The movie isn't exactly high quality, but the TFs are pretty good. It's also the only movie I've seen where a marsupial woman gives birth (and it's a pretty likeable scene, too).
I know it doesn't really have TFs, but you might want to check out the game "Zeno Clash" (or ZC 2) on Steam. Just the characters are interesting enough.
