A '''Transformation Summon''' ({{Ruby|変|へん}}{{Ruby|身|しん}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Henshin Shōkan'') is when a [[Chazz PrincetonFusion Monster]] explained that Transformation Summoning is like [[Fusion Special Summon]]inged using the effect of a specific card, but with only and without using any [[Fusion Material]]s (and the Special Summon is not treated as a single component[[Fusion Summon]]). This type of Summon is featured in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]] in "[[Masked HERO]]" [[archetype]].

To dateIt essentially reduces the amount of cards used for a Fusion Monster by one, Transformation Summons exist in that only in the one [[Monster Card|monster]] and a card such as "[[Mask Change]]" or "[[Form Change]]" is needed, as opposed to two or more monsters and "[[Polymerization]]".<ref name="chp51">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|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]] does not perform Transformation Summons in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga]] '' anime, he does use "[[Metamorphosis]]" and exclusively within "[[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 "[[Masked HeroNeo-Spacian Twinkle Moss]]". * The TCG/OCG effect of "[[The Eye of Timaeus]]" resembles the mechanics of Transformation Summon, but it actually performs a Fusion Summon, using one Fusion Material. * The Japanese name for Transformation Summon (''Henshin Shōkan'') is a reference to the ''[[archetypew: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 />
