The Transmorpher is a device in Tools of Destruction. It is a grenade that temporarily transforms affected enemies into penguins through molecular reconfiguration.[1] They are available upon reaching Kerchu City, Jasindu, at the device vendor. Transmorphers have an ammo capacity of three bombs, and each bomb cost 8,000 bolts. The Transmorpher transforms all enemies, except bosses and vehicles such as the enforcer, caught in its blast radius into penguins instantly, for up to fifteen seconds.

The Transmorpher can be used in tight situations to change the tides of battle, as similar to the Confuzzler Gas, it effectively eliminates affected enemies as a threat. However, its cost and the rarity of devices mean that it should be used sparingly compared to other weapons, and players may prefer to use the Groovitron due to its larger blast radius.

The Transmorpher has a similar effect to weapons in previous titles that transform enemies into animals, such as the Morph-O-Ray, the Sheepinator, and the Qwack-O-Ray.

Behind the scenes[]

Fans voted on which animal they wanted the Transmorpher to transform enemies into on Insomniac Games' Full Moon Show.[2] This was done because Insomniac internally could not decide which animal to use for a morph weapon. Prior to penguins, a running idea was to use platypuses.[3]
