Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (Monster Transformations)

 Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (2005-6) is part of the long-running Guyver franchise, which encompasses the source manga, an earlier anime, and a couple of live-action films. They all involve people getting turned into freaky animalistic monsters called "zoanoids."
Daymon suggested this series and volunteered to go through it for TF scenes. He came back with a truckload of material, and I can't thank him enough for his time and effort. Please give him a hand for this Herculean effort.

I decided to provide cued links to the episodes, rather than embedding them, because blogspot and youtube often mess up time cues if you embed the same video multiple times at different cues. Anyway, on with the show!

The first transformation from the first episode. Another TF occurs just a few seconds later.

The second episode has several people turning into bat-like beasts:
* Scene One
* Scene Two
* Scene Three

These are followed by transformations from:
* the third episode

* the fourth episode

* the fifth episode (the camera starts whirling around during the tf)

* the sixth episode 

* the ninth episode 

* the tenth episode

* the eleventh episode

Episode 13 splits its transformation scene. Here are the first and the second parts.

Episode 14 gives us a "zoalord" transformation while episode 16 has another moth-monster TF.

In episode 17 we get a quick tf followed by a scene of townspeople being transformed.

There's another quick TF in episode 21, and in episode 17 we see the Prime Minister transforming on TV, followed by stills of people transforming all over the world, and then a scene in the White House.
We close with the final TF, from episode 25. 

Thanks again Daymon!

Sorry to hear that! But the websites mentioned in my previous comment should work in France.
