* Different types of Transmutation are characterized by the cause that triggers the Trooper's transformation, which forces or allows them to use their second Unit Profile.
* If there is no alternative Model, place a Transmuted (TRANSMUTED) Token (or the corresponding Token if there is a specific one) beside the user, indicating their new profile.
* '''Transmutation (Wounds)''' and '''Transmutation (STR)''':
** The Trooper and their initial [[Unit Profile]] '''must''' be replaced by the second Unit Profile at the end of the Order in which the initial Unit Profile lost the last point of its [[Wounds|W]]/[[STR]] Attribute.
** If the Trooper lost more points of its W/STR Attribute than the initial Unit Profile had remaining, those extra points will be subtracted from the second Unit Profile at the end of that Order.
** The Trooper only enters [[Unconscious State]] when they lose the last point of W/STR Attribute from their second Unit Profile.
* '''Transmutation (Auto)''':
** '''By performing any Skill with the [[Movement Label]]''', a Trooper with Transmutation (Auto) '''may''' switch between the different Unit Profiles listed in their Unit Profile. This change always happens at the beginning of their Movement, applying the new Unit Profile for the entire sequence of that Movement.
** This will affect the distance the Trooper can move across the game table, depending on the [[MOV]] Attribute of the chosen Unit Profile.
** The Wounds/STR Attribute points of a Trooper possessing this Special Skill '''are shared among''' all of their Unit Profiles. So, the loss of Wounds/STR points from one of the Unit Profiles will be applied to all of them.
** The Trooper may deploy using any of their Unit Profiles.

'''Game Sequence and Transmutation (W/STR):'''

After making any relevant Saving Rolls, any [[Guts Rolls]] are made. Then, if applicable, the new Troop Profile is applied.

==Examples==

{{greybox-start | Transmutation Unit Profile Example }}
{{image | name=eng-transmutation-1024.jpg | style=512border }}

After the Fraacta loses 1 point of its Wounds Attribute, a Transmuted Marker (TRANSMUTED) indicates the use of the Survival Form profile.
{{greybox-end}}

{{greybox-start | Example of Transmutation (W) }}
A Dogface receives three simultaneous hits. He makes his three Saving Rolls and fails two of them, so he loses 2 points from his current Wounds Attribute. The Trooper would then subtract one single point of Wounds from his Dogface profile, and replace it with the Dog-Warrior profile (replacing the Dogface Model with the Dog-Warrior Model), and subtract the other point from the Wounds Attribute of his new profile. The Dog-Warrior is still standing, but his current Wounds Attribute is 1 instead of the original value of 2 listed in the Dog-Warrior profile.

+{{update | PDF 5.2, October 2025}}
 * If the Trooper has any Skill that allows it to deploy in Marker form, it uses that Marker instead of the Seed-Embryo Token. The [[Camouflaged | Camouflage Marker]] of a Troop with Transmutation (Hatching) has a [[Silhouette]] (S) value of 2. If the Trooper is [[Discover]]ed or it reveals itself, the Marker is replaced with the Seed-Embryo Token.
 * Similarly, if the Trooper has any Deployment Skill with the [[Airborne Deployment]] Label, then it will deploy as a Seed-Embryo Token, and it will apply the rules of its Airborne Deployment Skill as usual.

 * This works the same way as Transmutation (X), but when the Unit Profile and Model are replaced, an [[Eclipse]] Special Ammo Circular Template must be placed, centered on the Model.

 A Trooper takes multiple hits and receives 2 [[Wounds]]. Since this is the number indicated in his Transmutation (Escape System-2) Skill, the player replaces the Model of the TAG with that of its Operator and places the [[Eclipse]] Special Ammo Circular Template centered on the Operator.

+A Trooper with Transmutation (WIP-3) is activated in an [[ARO]]. Before declaring the Skill it will perform, its player makes a [[WIP]]-3 Roll, and it is successful. Having passed the Roll, he may use the Trooper’s second [[Unit Profile]] for this ARO and for the rest of the [[Player Turn]].
