Makaio has also written in to recommend posting this scene from the Justice League episode "The Brave and the Bold", wherein the Flash suffers hallucinations at the hands of the fiendish Gorilla Grodd.
Makaio writes: "One of my favorite TF clips. In this video is a weight gain (pretty
sweet), head inflation, puppet TF, and finally my favorite, the gorilla
transformation. I love how he goes from this skinny guy, suddenly hulks
bigger,
and finally his six-pack pushes out into huge round gorilla gut."
I have to agree, and will add that transformation scenes are often more detailed and vivid when played for nightmare/horror value, whereas comedic TFs are often of the "poof" variety, unless they're deriving comedy from the character's discomfort and humiliation during the transformation process. And those aspects can be played for horror with very little adjustment...
Makaio, whose blog I've added to the links sidebar, makes TF videos of his own. He points to two homemade TFs made with a gorilla suit (which can be viewed here and here). Makaio writes "I tried to mimic the camera techniques with the incredible hulk TFs with
close-ups of the rippage and such. The goal was to make it look like I
was actually outgrowing my clothes becoming a gorilla without using my
hands
to pull off on the clothes. Unlike the hulk, this gorilla tf managed to
get in some nice pants and boxer rippage..."
My thanks to Makaio for contributing--such gestures make this blog truly worthwhile. I hope other readers won't feel shy about pitching in suggestions.

Reader Contributions V: The Incredible Hulk (Monster/Growth Transformation)
Makaio has written in to recommend posting the very first Hulk transformation from the Incredible Hulk series that ran back in the 70s. As Makaio vividly describes it, this "is by far the most elaborate hulk
transformation as is usually the case for any 'first' TFs...what's nice about this hulk-out is it shows a
fair amount of rippage, brow growth, DNA mutation, and a slower
progression of David's face to the Hulk's...The [clothes] rippage is hot, but what I like the most about this sequence is the
sound... [it's] the best element to this transformation,
because it reveals more than what is seen. If you closed your eyes and
listened to the audio, you'll hear that the clothes ripping sound is
very continuous, even after most of the shirt has been prominently
ripped up. This hints that rippage is occurring to the pants as well..."
Makaio recommends the transformation from the episode "747" as the show's second best TF scene. He writes: "From the point the TF is triggered with David's white eyes (1:26) to full-Hulk Lou Ferrigno (3:01) the transformation takes one minute and thirty-six seconds... I'm sure this was due to David Banner's futile efforts to control the transformation from happening so he could pilot the plane. Needless to say, the effort only served to allow the Hulk more time to flex his arms out of his sleeves, and feel the buttons pop off his chest. The Hulk always wins this battle in the end." You can see the clip here. Thanks very much Makaio!

Batman: The Brave and the Bold (Age Progression/Monster Transformation)
The always fun Batman: The Brave and the Bold features an episode called "Death Race to Oblivion!" The teaser has an appearance by the villain Blockbuster, aka Marl Desmond, an evil child genius who concocts a serum that makes him grow up very quickly...
Bloomin' Faeries (Age Progression Transformation)
One strip of the NSFW webcomic Bloomin' Faeries features a bratty prince age progressing into a stud. Short but sweet, and viewable here.
Reader Contributions III: Ben10 (Werewolf Transformation)
Mike wrote in last month to suggest posting a few transformation scenes that are well known but not yet featured on major TF sites such as Shadowlord or Dutchbull's. The first of these is from Ben10. The episode is called "BenWolf," and involves Ben getting scratched and turned by an alien creature conveniently similar to a werewolf.
Intriguingly, the transformation occurs in three stages. Unfortunately, only the first TF is shown onscreen. It's rather cute-looking (I'm a sucker for the transformee showing doglike behavior) and should also please those who like feet TFs. It occurs at the 59 second mark. The two later phases, an ugly intermediate one (3:14) and the completely transformed creature (5:01), are less charming, and unaccompanied by TF scenes. See the video here.
