This is a Shapeshifting trope describing a main character that can shape-shift into multiple forms with each form being able to do something specific. For example; a water-based one to swim fast, an earth-based one for strength, an air-based one to fly, etc. In some series these would be different characters, forming a group, but in this one it's all the same guy. Outside of video games, this kind of hero is often headlining a Merchandise-Driven show - after all, more forms means more toys. Related to Stance System and Tag Team. See also Multiform Balance, Personality Powers and Elemental Powers. Compare Job System, where you only have to change costumes to switch abilities. Has nothing to do with badass soldiers from the Alps (though it's a reasonable mistake to make). |

The second incarnation of the quest, Communication, features a strange example where not Homura herself has this, but her Guardian Entity, has four later five different modes at her disposal, as signaled by her witch hat: Time: A metal ring large enough to skim just over the top of her head and down to her lower back that slowly spins in place, engraved with images of various images of events past and future. The Pieces for Access float either side of this ring as curved bars [like this (O)] that cover the left and rightmost 90 degree arcs of the ring. The Piece for Purification is a wire ring that loops around everything else. The Piece for Communication is a silver disk, the size of a tea coaster, that floats behind her head. In this form, she is capable of manipulating time. Access: Two rings, one of iridescent multi colour and the other of shifting darkness, each the size of dinner plates, slowly orbit a centerpoint on Homura’s mid-back. The inside of each ring shimmers with their respective color. The Piece for Time rests as a sphere at the centerpoint. The Piece for Purification is a small ring mandala that is centered on the centerpoint. The Piece for Communication is a silver half-torc that hovers around the back of her neck. In this form she can use Grief Charge and Essence fueled magic. This does not pollute her Soul Gem. Purification: A shining Mandala with various levels of independently moving pieces. Like the others, it rotates around Homura’s mid-back and is tall enough to stretch from her knees to above her head. The Piece for Time sits at the centerpoint as a disk as wide as a bowl between the mandala and Homura. The Pieces for Access are two rings of equal size, both large enough to encircle the Piece for Time with room to spare, centered on the centerpoint sitting either side of Time, the multicolored one closer to Homura. In this form, she can create white purifying effects like a fire the burns grief. Communication: A silver disk-like halo that floats about her head. The Piece for Time is a bar that runs parallel to her spine. The Pieces for Access are two rings that encircle the Piece for Time. The Piece for Purification is a swirling mirrored-helix that rotates both clockwise and anti-clockwise around the Piece for Time. In this form, she has true telepathy. Doppel: By reversing the spin on her witch's hat, the brim of which is a spinning record, she activates her own Doppel form, separate from Homura's own. |

Ever since Engine Sentai Go-onger, most Super Sentai Transformation Trinkets come with toy gimmicks (Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters being a notable exception), which can often invoke form changes outside of just the mid-season upgrades and other similar power-ups. Although sometimes they just summon weapons or mecha or activate abilities. While Go-Onger isn't the first time there was a collectable toy gimmick, it is the first time one has been used in such a way, though Super Sentai didn't actually start filling this trope with it until Gokaiger. | |

Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: In season 3, the Rangers get new Ninja outfits and powers in addition to their standard Ranger uniforms. While the Ninja outfits lack the durability and strength of their regular Ranger forms, they come with a number of fancy tricks like super speed, hiding in the ground and illusions. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder: Conner McKnight is the only Ranger in this season with two power-ups in addition to the one shared by the rest of the team. Fans have jokingly referred to him as an "upgrade addict" because of this. Power Rangers Megaforce: The second season, being an adaptation of the aforementioned Gokaiger, grants the Rangers the ability to use the powers of previous Ranger teams in addition to their own. Power Rangers Ninja Steel: Dimensions In Danger has Tommy Oliver wielding the Master Morpher which allows him to morph into every Ranger form he has had in the series. Power Rangers Dino Fury: The Rangers have a number of keys which grant special upgrades and weapons. |

The Druid class in World of Warcraft is essentially this. They can access different forms which give them abilities similar to another class (e.g. cat form gives the same combat style as a Rogue, bear gives them better armor so they can tank like a Warrior), act as transport (e.g. travel form, flight form and swimming form) or completely unique (e.g. tree form improves their healing). | |

In Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia there are three glyphs that change Shanoa's form into a cat-woman, bat-woman, and little robot thing. Years before, Alucard of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night could change into a fire-breathing bat, a wolf that can run through enemy or mist. The mist could even be upgraded to Deadly Gas. Rush Form in the Sorrow series if Soma Cruz had captured one of the creature's souls that can let him turn into one of them. |

Mystic Ark contains a slight variant: while the hero(ine) never changes form, (s)he is joined by two spirits who can each be made to inhabit one of several wooden figurines, bringing them to life as various allies (fighter, mage, cleric, ninja, etc.). You can move those spirits around pretty much anytime outside of battle. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Druids have innate shapeshifting into animals as a basic ability (and at higher levels can cast Polymorph, allowing them to turn into just about anything), making them able to face just about any kind of environment and serve as scouts, skirmishers, ambushers etc, not to mention making them very good at tanking damage since they can take another form with full hit points. They can also change their spell list every day for even more universality. | |

Mega Man Star Force: The original has Star Break, activated in battle using a special card. Depending on what version you're playing, Mega Man will turn into Ice Pegasus, Fire Leo or Green Dragon, each of which have a different charge shot and a Star Force Big Bang activated by countering an enemy's attack. You can obtain the Star Breaks of the other two versions by having a BrotherBand with people on those versions. 2 has Zerker, Saurian and Ninja transformations which are similar to Star Break except they can be combined. Combining all three grant the Tribe King transformation, which is more powerful but lasts for three turns like Beast Out above. 3 has Noise Change, which is basically the Cross System from Battle Network 6 with the one-at-a-time limitation of Battle Network 3's Styles. There are six per version, though there's also Rogue Noise in both versions, obtained by refraining from making any BrotherBands with other players. Additionally, there are Star Break-style forms based on the titular supporting characters Acid Ace and Dread Joker, which grant access to the abilities Black End Galaxy and Red Gaia Eraser. |

The Kamen Rider franchise has many examples where the hero can utilize different weapons, forms, and/or fighting styles. This has its roots with the occasional use in the original Showa era (Riderman and Kamen Rider Super-1 could each equip different arm-based gadgets, and Kamen Rider BLACK RX had two alternate forms), but became a series staple after returning from a hiatus in the modern era. Usually the hero will have around three to four forms specialized in different fighting styles (Kuuga, Agito, Den-O, Kiva, Gaim, Zero-One), though that number can occasionally go to 10 or higher (Decade, Ghost, Zi-O, Revice). A few of these might also enhance themselves further with additional equipment or abilities (Fourze, Wizard, Drive). Some Riders have a modular system that's able to swap out the attributes of different body parts (Double, OOO, Build, Saber, Geats). The part-swapping type can grow to particularly absurd form counts if each possible combination is treated as its own form, but these usually have a smaller set of prearranged combinations that fulfill the role of traditional forms. |

The Piece for Time sits at the centerpoint as a disk as wide as a bowl between the mandala and Homura.

The titular characters in the Animorphs series are this in spades. By the end of the series, each of the main characters has an arsenal of close to fifty animal forms in a wide variety of different shapes and sizes, though each character has a main group of 4-5 forms that they use most frequently, like a favorite battle form (Rachel's grizzly bear, for example) or a favorite bird of prey form for aerial recon. Most books in the series has them acquiring a new animal form which has abilities that will be particularly useful on their next upcoming mission. For example, on a mission when they needed to retrieve a special item from a pitch-black room, they acquired a bat form and used its natural echo-location to safely navigate through the room. | |

This trope is Ben 10's entire gimmick. The titular hero wears the Omnitrix capable of temporarily transforming him into a number of alien forms (ten at first, hence the name, but he gains more later on), each with it's own powers and weaknesses. | |

Deoxys from the Pokémon games has 4 different forms that can be changed depending on the game in the Advance generation, or using some meteorites in the DS games. The forms are a normal one that acts as Jack of All Stats, a Glass Cannon attack form, a Stone Wall Defense form and a Fragile Speedster form. Another Pokémon that can change forms is Rotom, each of these forms gives it increased stats compared to its base form (the five forms have the same stats), a different Elemental power, and as of Gen V, its Ghost typing is swapped out for one matching that of the appliance it possessed. | |

The DCU: The H-Dial from Dial H for Hero allows whoever wields it to become any kind of superhero for an hour. It should be noted this series was created decades before the below-mentioned Ben 10. The Jaime Reyes incarnation of Blue Beetle has Powered Armor that comes with an array of weapons and tools. New 52 also grants Jaime two new modes; one for increased speed, another for increased strength and durability. |

The Ultra Series has frequently given Ultramen multiple forms, starting with Ultraman Tiga. In almost all these cases, the forms (not counting Super Modes) are one that's balanced, one that's focused on strength, and one that features either speed and agility or the use of energy abilities that resemble magic. | |

Frank Zhang of The Heroes of Olympus also shows shades of this. Becoming an eagle, grizzly bear, and an elephant to take on a giant. Also, having encountered basilisks early in "The Son of Neptune" Iris, the goddess of the Rainbow informs him that having a weasel is the best way of taking down basilisks. Later in the book after he discovers his shapeshifting abilities he is seen tearing through basilisks in weasel form and the basilisks are slithering away from him in terror. | |

Super Sentai: Ever since Engine Sentai Go-onger, most Super Sentai Transformation Trinkets come with toy gimmicks (Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters being a notable exception), which can often invoke form changes outside of just the mid-season upgrades and other similar power-ups. Although sometimes they just summon weapons or mecha or activate abilities. While Go-Onger isn't the first time there was a collectable toy gimmick, it is the first time one has been used in such a way, though Super Sentai didn't actually start filling this trope with it until Gokaiger. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Gokaigers have access to the powers of all 34 previous Super Sentai teams, for a total of nearly 200 powersets (though each individual Gokaiger usually only uses the member of each past team that matches up with their own color, while the Sixth Ranger uses only the 15 other Sixth Rangers). Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger: The Ryusoulgers have access to the Ryusouls, devices that grant them special armor and extra abilities. Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: The Zenkaigers can access the powers and weapons of previous Sentai teams. |

5 had two Crosses, Bass Cross and Solar (Django) Cross, which override MegaMan's standard form similar to Styles, sans elemental affinity. Bass Cross can be obtained in the Japanese Game Boy Advance versions using a promotional e-Reader card or obtained in the overseas version via cheats, or in any version of Double Team DS on an original Nintendo DS or DS Lite if you insert a copy of the GBA version that Bass SP has been defeated in. The abilities and colors of this form depend on which version of the game you're playing, Team Colonel having a silver version with Buster Rake and Team ProtoMan having a gold version with Hell's Rolling. Solar Cross can be obtained in Double Team DS simply by having a copy of Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django in the Game Boy Advance slot. As a reference to the Boktai series' usage of solar power, there will be a sun on the upper right corner of the screen that powers up the player's attacks if you're jacked in from an area outdoors. |

In the Gundam Vs Series, mobile suits which use Mecha Expansion Packs in their original anime are usually turned into Swiss Army Heroes as a means of representing their unique abilities. The Victory 2, Strike, Impulse and AGE-2 Gundams can change freely, while the AGE-1 can only change one way per spawn (it reverts to its base form when it respawns). The Extreme Gundam plays more traditionally, starting in a base form and tranforming into an upgraded form after filling a meter, but the each form is treated as a separate character and must be chosen before the match starts. | |

Negi Springfield of Negima! Magister Negi Magi can go between forms of his Magia Erebia Armationem, his Agilitas Fulminis oriented more towards speed and mobility with less offense and defense while being more alike to his use of wind and lightning, the other - his Sim Fabricatus - with greater strength and defense over a loss of speed. Of note is that The author likes to reference games and RPGs throughout the series (this being one of many), so this can be argued to count as a Shout-Out to the game form of this trope. | |

Most of the Mega Man Battle Network games starting with the second installment allow MegaMan to change into different variants. Battle Network 2 and 3 have Style Change, where MegaMan's body changes color and a certain part of his body is changed to reflect that Style's element (Heat, Aqua, Elec, or Wood) and specialty. They have one particular attribute (an improved buster, greater defense, more chips per turn, being able to carry more Navi chips and being able to get V4 and V5 Navi chips, turning invisible with each charge shot, being able to change the field, or receiving random good or bad bugs at the start of the battle) combined with one of the four aforementioned elements. In 2, the player could carry two Souls and switch between them out of combat, though this was reduced to one in 3. 4 and 5 have Double Soul, a combination of this trope and Power Copying, as they are obtained through defeating one of MegaMan's allies in battle. MegaMan's charge shot is changed and he gains certain other attributes, usually an elemental affinity. It is toggled in-battle instead of on the overworld by discarding a chip corresponding to that soul (i.e., a Wood chip in Team Colonel gives you Tomahawk Soul), but they each have at least one con (Knight Soul's charge shot is only melee range, Magnet Soul is weak to Wood attacks, etc.) and last for 3 turns, which can be increased using Navi Customizer programs. 5 also has Chaos Unison, activated by discarding a Dark Chip, where it's the same form with a different color scheme and your charge shot turns into the Dark Chip you discarded, without the bugs or HP penalty you'd get using it by itself. If you fire at the wrong time, however, you'll turn back to normal and an invincible MegaMan DS will attack you for 13 seconds, and the time it takes the shot to fully charge increases with each success. It also only lasts for 1 turn, period. 4 and 5 also have Dark Soul, activated by using Dark Chips in battle constantly. There are a few minor differences such as MegaMan becoming darker in appearance and his emotion window gaining a malicious expression, and a few major ones such as not being able to go into Full Synchro, the inability to use certain chips, and being able to use Evil Chips and DS Mega Chips. 5 had two Crosses, Bass Cross and Solar (Django) Cross, which override MegaMan's standard form similar to Styles, sans elemental affinity. Bass Cross can be obtained in the Japanese Game Boy Advance versions using a promotional e-Reader card or obtained in the overseas version via cheats, or in any version of Double Team DS on an original Nintendo DS or DS Lite if you insert a copy of the GBA version that Bass SP has been defeated in. The abilities and colors of this form depend on which version of the game you're playing, Team Colonel having a silver version with Buster Rake and Team ProtoMan having a gold version with Hell's Rolling. Solar Cross can be obtained in Double Team DS simply by having a copy of Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django in the Game Boy Advance slot. As a reference to the Boktai series' usage of solar power, there will be a sun on the upper right corner of the screen that powers up the player's attacks if you're jacked in from an area outdoors. 6 introduces a new Cross System. In contrast to 5, Crosses here are mostly like Souls, except that they're activated through a submenu on the Custom Screen instead of discarding a chip and MegaMan goes back to normal if hit by an element countering his. Complementing the Cross System is Beast Out, the ability to tap into Gregar or Falzar's power, gaining a rapid-fire buster, instantly locking on to the closest enemy, the ability to charge non-dimming elementless chips to perform powerful slash attacks, and the two can be combined to obtain a powerful elemental charge shot. Because of the massive power exhibited, using this ability leaves MegaMan exhausted (which is visibly reflected on his emotion window) and he has to go into battles without using it for it to recharge, as it lasts for a maximum of three turns. Attempting to activate it while the counter is at 0 will activate Beast Over, where MegaMan goes berserk and rapidly loses health while going into autopilot similar to 5's DarkInvis. The Japan-exclusive mobile phone game Rockman.EXE Legend of Network has Trans Arm, which is the same as Double Soul except it only affects your buster as the name implies and the rest of your body is simply recolored. |
