| − | 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 [[Fusion Monster]] is [[Special Summon]]ed using the effect of a specific card, 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]] in "[[Masked HERO]]" [[archetype]].
| + | [[Chazz Princeton]] explained that Transformation Summoning is like [[Fusion Summon]]ing, but with only a single component. |
| | | | |
| − | It essentially reduces the amount of cards used for a Fusion Monster by one, in that only 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|51|ref}}</ref> However, the produced Fusion Monster tends to be less powerful than one Special Summoned by means of a regular Fusion Summon.
| + | To date, Transformation Summons exist only in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga]] and exclusively within the "[[Masked Hero]]" [[archetype]]. |

| − | ==Trivia==
| |
| − | * Although [[Jaden Yuki]] does 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 it actually performs a Fusion Summon, using one Fusion Material.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The Japanese name for Transformation Summon (''Henshin Shōkan'') is a reference 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.
