Batman: The Brave and the Bold: Return of the Fearsome Fangs! (Animal Transformations)

(Edit: since the original youtube links in the second half of this post no longer work, I've replaced them with links to Dutch Bull's site)

Last week's episode featured The Terrific Trio (Fox, Shark and Vulture) and Batman and Bronze Tiger all transforming into their namesake animals. The TFs are fast and fluid. Fortunately for us, that renown transformation devotee TFFurryMaster has put up a special video containing just the TF scenes. You can view it here.

This episode marks the third time The Trio has shown up in animation, and the second time they've transformed into animals. The previous occasion was an episode of The Batman titled "Attack of the Terrible Trio." Unfortunately the episode was a bit of a wasted opportunity, since the trio didn't have any decent TF scenes--instead the animators cheated by just showing their shadows transforming (that old cheap trick!).
But the episode did feature a nice scene of a frat stud reverting back into a human after having been turned into a raging gorrilla--you can see him de-Kong here. The episode also features Fox getting a mutagen overdose and turning into--of all things!--a griffon. This has to be the silliest coincidence ever--who knew the chances of bathing in a stew of random animal DNA and coming out as a mythological creature were so high? Still, it's not a bad tf and can be viewed here.

Choking Dolphins (Werewolf Transformation)

While trawling around I found a humorous werewolf transformation in this webcomic. The TF starts here.
