Best and Worst Transformations from the Past 6 Years

Post by DragonBoxZTheMovies » Sun May 24, 2015 6:53 am

Ever since Vegeta and Broli first received Super Saiyan 3 in '09 as part of both Dragon Battlers and Raging Blast, it feels like the past few years have been filled with an endless slew of new forms and transformations being added to the franchise. A lot of these tend to be hit or miss, but are there any of them that you particularly like or dislike? Be it from Heroes, or the new films, I'd love to know why.

To be honest, I'm pretty apathetic toward the majority of them. My responses tend to be along the lines of, "Heh, that's kinda neat," or "Eh, whatever they need to do to make money." I think this is mostly down to the fact that most of them exist in either self-contained material or in content that doesn't really affect me in any way; Heroes is an obvious example of that. To me, they are mostly just...there. This attitude might change depending on what we see in Super, however. Hmm, yes. July will be most interesting. :twisted:

But this thread isn't about me. I'm interested to know what everyone else thinks. Do any of you have opinions that are a bit stronger than mine?

The Best for me would be Golden Frieza. I love this form.

Image

Evil Bardock - Oozaru Form

Image

Super Saiyan God. While SSGSS has grown on me SSG is still the better of the two in my eyes.

Image

Kid Buu with Babidi absorbed (I just really like the look)

Image

And the Kings of Destruction, a nice why to make lesser villains relevant again.

Image

The worst.....oh boy here we go!

This lime colored abomination

Image

Super 17 w/ Android 16 absorbed. The laziest and lamest transformation I have ever seen.

Image

Super 17 w/ Cell absorbed. The second laziest and lamest transformation I have ever seen.

Vegeta's Ssj3 : His power was equal to Goku at the end of the Buu arc so if that level of power was enough to enable Goku to reach it then Vegeta is able to as well.

Broly's Ssj3&4 : I think he'd have the easiest time reaching 3 due to his huge power level but there's no way he's be able to control himself in the golden Ozaru form so giving him Ssj4 doesn't make any sense.

Future Trunks's Ssj3 : He can't go back into the time chamber so there's no way for him to reach it.

Future Gohan's Ssj3 : If he spends 2 years in the time chamber after reaching Ssj2 then he'd have to problem reaching Ssj3.

Gt Trunks's Ssj3 : he probably can't go Ssj1 anymore let alone 3.

Ssjg : It's a great way to keep the current forms relevant so for the time being there's no need to introduce new ones which is good.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Hmm, I think SSJ3 looks the most badass. Worst? Blue Super Saiyan in F.

The entire point of Super Saiyan 3 was how ridiculous it was, and in the context of the Buu arc, it made sense. Just passing it out to Vegeta, Broly, and Trunks in the games reeks of a misunderstanding of the form/lack of care. Super Saiyan 1 is the legendary transformation that brings fear in the heart of Freeza; that's the uber-serious transformation the power-level-obsessed are supposed to get hard for. Super Saiyan 3 is Goku and Gotenks fucking around because back in 1995 it was supposed to be the end of Dragon Ball, so why not go for broke?

Ssjg Gokû will remain my favorite. He ursurped kaio-ken, and I loved the kaio-ken.

Worst easily lime green oozaru Brolli, though he is hilarious, he's also hilariously awful.

Came out of no where! Very nicely designed too. I love his face and arms. Would not mind to have seen this in GT.


Worst:

A disgrace to all transformation in fiction. Just straight taco Bell bullshit Imo. Just a hideous form to look at

Best is ssjblue & G-Freeza, even if I dont like it like ssj1 at least it's better than all those Heroes fan transformations.

Besides the "what-if" Buu absorptions, all the transformations in the past 6 years have been godawful. Either completely unoriginal or color swaps...
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

I like both of the Super Saiyan God forms. I love the designs, especially the magenta one.

As for worst, anything they've done to Bardock lately. The whole point of his character was that he died. Let the man stay dead already.

Best:
-Super Saiyan God
-Baby Janemba
-Babidi Boo

I really like Super Saiyan God ever since I watched the movie, the colors along with the porpotions makes the form look different in a "WHOA" kinda way, I like it. Then there's those 2 assholes, Baby Jamemba is kinda stupid if you think about it, I mean, how the hell would Baby absorb Janemba? But it looks cool I guess. Babidi Boo is something that I honestly expected to happen in the series at some point so there's that.

Worst:
-Everything else Heroes gave us
-Golden Freeza to some extend

Now besides the absortion Heroes gave us, everything else is SSJ3 slapped onto every character they can imagine, Golden Oozaru and SSJ4 and Broly (why!?) and Super 17 absorbing 16, which, doesn't change him in the slighest with the exception of making him bulkier? Whatever, looks dumb, I don't care.
Golden Freeza is a tricky one, I like that the design is different and not a single colorswap, sure that's neat; I also understand why it would be gold (Freeza thinks gold=power due to Super Saiyan, yadda yadda). The result however? It's just ugly and clashes with the other forms. The way I would do it? Keep the design but essentially give it the colors of the regular Final Form Freeza but inverse.

But Baby is almost 20 years old.

I like the movie transformations to an extent. It is more the names that I dislike.

I like both Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan.

As for characters in particular, I liked Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta and hated Super Saiyan 3 Broly. I don't even dislike the character, but he did not deserve that transformation.

I didn't really think about the question being past 6 years... And I've always thought SSJ3 was super badass, and I still think so. It looks so cool

I think the worst transformation in the past six years was Super Saiyan Bardock.
