To dateA '''Transformation Summon''' ({{Ruby|変|へん}}{{Ruby|身|しん}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Henshin Shōkan'') is when a [[Fusion Monster]] is [[Special Summon]]ed using the effect of a specific card, Transformation Summons exist only and without using any [[Fusion Material]]s (and the Special Summon is not treated as a [[Fusion Summon]]). This type of Summon is featured in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX '' manga]] and exclusively within the in "[[Masked HeroHERO]]" [[archetype]]. In  It essentially reduces the mangaamount of cards used for a Fusion Monster by one, in that only one [[Chazz Princeton Monster Card| Chazzmonster]] explained that transformation summoning and a card such as "[[Mask Change]]" or "[[Form Change]]" is like needed, as opposed to two or more monsters and "[[Polymerization]]".<ref name="chp51">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|51|ref}}</ref> However, the produced Fusion Monster tends to be less powerful than one Special Summoned by means of a regular Fusion Summon. ==Trivia==* Although [[Jaden Yuki]]ingdoes not perform Transformation Summons in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime, he does use "[[Metamorphosis]]" and "[[NEX]]", both of which effectively use only one monster to summon Fusion Monsters that can only be summoned this way. These are "[[Elemental HERO Neo Bubbleman]]" (which was a Fusion Monster in the anime), "[[Elemental HERO Clay Guardian]]", "[[Neo-Spacian Marine Dolphin]]", and "[[Neo-Spacian Twinkle Moss]]". * The TCG/OCG effect of "[[The Eye of Timaeus]]" resembles the mechanics of Transformation Summon, but with only it actually performs a Fusion Summon, using one Fusion Material. * The Japanese name for Transformation Summon (''Henshin Shōkan'') is a single componentreference to the ''[[w:c:kamenrider:Kamen Rider Series|Kamen Rider]]'' series, whom the Masked HERO are based on. In this series, most of the Riders shout "Henshin" before transforming.  ==References==<references />
