When Captain America first transformed into a werewolf during the '90s it was considered an embarrassment, but the idea never went away. And now Capwolf and the Howling Commandos has fully embraced it. The comic is set in World War II and shows Captain America fighting Nazi werewolves.
In the first issue he gets ambushed by them:
And he gets scratched by one:
In the next issue we see the Nazis creating more werewolves:
The same werewolf reverts at sunrise:
The Nazis create more werewolves to combat Capwolf:
Our thanks to "Fatwerewolf" for suggesting this video on our Discord server. There's Something About Movies is a British comedy panel show. In the first episode of season four, two panelists recreate the famous transformation scene from An American Werewolf in London. They do a decent job, which raises a question...
If it's possible to achieve such effects on a British panel show, why do so many higher-budget American programs fail at werewolf transformations? Perhaps in the UK practical effects are cheaper than CGI.
Our thanks to Noodles for posting this video on our Discord server. It's described as "A Marauders Animation," so I assume it deals with Harry Potter characters I know next to nothing about:
In the first episode of this anime, the hero Ragna is bestowed power from his future self when he confronts the villainous Grymwelte, who retaliates by transforming into a dragon:
Our thanks to "Dove" for recommending two scenes from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. In episode 25 (episode 177 of the entire series) an old man turns into a wolf, and in the next episode Anasui develops some canine traits during a partial transformation.
Here is part one of an animation by Husskoni--future parts are in the pipeline. The transformation in this video is primarily muscle and hair growth but the next installement promises lycanthropy.
In the second episode, Lou reveals he is a Rougarou (derived from "Loup Garou," French for werewolf) when he saves Missy's life. In the next episode she recovers but develops an unfortunate craving, and Lou is there to help her:
Issue 4 starts with Beast Boy reverting from whale to human form:
He surfaces and encounters an unusual wolf:
The wolfman turns out to be Anthony Lupus, the DC comics werewolf who first appeared in 1974. You can see his earlier transformations here and also here.
Lupus captures Beast Boy and uses him to try and create a cure for lycanthropy. It doesn't go well:
In After Darkepisode nine, Drew wakes up from a nightmare and enters a real one (the transformation concludes in episode 12).
Further lycanthropy can be found in episode 37 of Time and Time Again.
Episode three of The Hammer delivers another werewolf.
Last but not least, The Werewolf Prince has a transformation that starts on page 45.

Transylvania Rising is an unaired pilot from 2016. Set in 1880, it's about "a young woman in search of her missing father travels to Transylvania, where she teams up with a wrongfully disgraced Scotland Yard Detective and together they witness the births of the most famous monsters and villains in history."
The wolfman is of course involved, and transforms at a masked ball.
Edit: Since the video link died, I decided to get a copy of the program and upload my own edit. The clip also includes a reversion at 01:27. My thanks to the aptly-named ShareContent for supplying the source file on Discord.
In episode 17 Komamura—an anthormorphic wolf in human guise—loses his "humanization technique" after realizing he has embarked on a mission of vengeance. He finds out that selling his soul means losing his humanity:
Thanks to Mr.TF from Discord for recommending this video game scene. A character named Otto is taken back to childhood by a dish he remembered from his early years:
Everyone is familiar with Evil Ed's excellent wolf reversion scene from Fright Night, but you might not know that the film was adapted into a comic series in 1988. From issue 2:
As usual in comics, Evil Ed was somehow brought back to life, and he's seen reverting from bat form in issue 8:
He turns into the green bat again in issue 17:
There's also a basketball player who turns into a vampire:
