Dutch Bull has updated his terrific site everyone! Go there now to see videos from the American Being Human and the third season of the original BH, along with clips from a real rarity--an Indian weretiger film called Junoon!
The American Being Human has turned out to be a predictable disappointment in the TF department, by the way. It used to be said that while American films and TV shows were bad, they at least had big-budget production values. Now even that isn't even the case--the British version looks far richer in its special effects (even if its recent transformations haven't topped its first few). But the American version is really shameless--it even cheated its way out of showing a transformation that had occurred in the original!
(Edit: the next transformation in the American version is admittedly better...too bad what he transforms into looks like a giant mangy rat though.)

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood (Frog and Pig Transformations)
In episode 38 of this long-running (and frankly indigestible) anime, we see two characters transform into giant pig and frog men. The link is here, and the TF starts around the 11:08 mark.

News Update 2
Just in case you were thinking of seeing Red Riding Hood, keep in mind that the film does not have any werewolf transformation scenes. I have verified this with people who have seen the film. It's a real bummer if you happen to know what happens in the film's last scene. It's also another example of a frequent disappointment encountered by male TF fans: the anticlimax of filmmakers hiring an utterly beautiful actor to the play a werewolf but never putting him go through a decent transformation. Examples of this include the Twilight films, True Blood, The Gates, and the Vampire Diaries.

Fujitsu Commercial (Rabbit Transformation)
This Japanese computer commercial, starring heartthrob Takuya Kimura, features a somewhat rare lapin transformation...EDIT: Robin notes that "in Japan the full moon is associated with two rabbits on the moon pounding mochi...there are even foods associated with the full moon and rabbits."
You learn something new everyday! I certainly hope to come across more obscure Japanese transformations in the future.
