Frieza has 5 Forms. Does King Cold have 4?

[ChiefWamsutta]

Frieza has 5 forms: Initial form, Taller form he fought Piccolo with, Alien form, Final form, and Golden Frieza.

Does Kind Cold have the same four forms as Frieza, or only three? I never figured this out.

We're never told much about King Cold's transformations, other than the Dragon Books telling us that he can power up by transforming. Freeza and his kin's forms seem to be things that they intentionally develop to hold back or enhance their power as they see fit, so it's possible the number and appearances of Cold's forms are quite different from Freeza's. If he's got less power overall than Freeza and doesn't interact with the public nearly as much, then it's possible he only has one or two restrictive forms instead of Freeza and Coola's three.

I think the form we saw him in WAS his true form, and he doesn't have any more, simply because he never had a reason to conceal his power like Freeza did. I posted my thoughts on this before:

Well, here's something I recently thought about. Is it possible that King Cold is already in his 'final' form? There's some distinct differences between Cold and second form Freeza, most prominently those pink lines along Freeza's arms and legs. They make the form look unnatural. Cold doesn't have these, he has regular purple skin similar to Cooler.

Cooler is rather interesting to discuss here. He looks a lot more like King Cold than Freeza does; smooth, purple skin, lack of those crystal things anywhere but his head, different texture between the "dome" and the rest of the face (making it look like a helmet), red lines underneath his eyes, hard white parts that look like armor on parts of his legs and arms, and a dark blue shade for his crystal-like parts as opposed to Freeza's purple. I feel like it should be noted that these two are both older than Freeza.

Only two things are kind of off here: one, Cold does actually have a few of those pink lines along those parts of his arms. Two, he of course has horns, though I think, like the "chest armor", that's just another feature Freeza's species gains as they get older. Anyway, if you took off the horns and the armor, wouldn't Cold look a lot like true form Cooler?





(not the best pictures, but just for a quick general comparison)

So I guess a younger Cold would look like this:
