Transformation

In Red Alert 3 and its expansion, some units have the ability to transform. This means the selected unit will change its function or change its unit type altogether. Most transformable units are of the Empire of the Rising Sun, making its military a truly versatile and dangerous foe to any challenger, although the Allies also deploy one unit that can transform during the Uprising.
== List of transformable units ==
*The Mecha Tengu Transforms from the anti-infantry amphibious Robot into a jet fighter to take on enemy aircraft.
*The Striker-VX transforms from an anti-air walker into a helicopter that fires rockets.
*The Sea-Wing transforms from an anti-air submarine into a flying anti-infantry aircraft.
*The newest Giga Fortress transforms from a floating fortress into a heavy anti-surface unit equal to the Century Bomber and the Kirov with its Gods Breath weapon.
*The Pacifier FAV transforms from anti-infantry hover vehicle into an immobile artillery platform.
== Game effects ==
When activated, the transformation of a unit is instantaneous. However, the unit must wait at least a few seconds before attempting to transform back into its previous mode.
The ability is disabled if the unit is being infected, psychokinetically lifted up or affected by Electro-Stasis Ray or EMP weapons.
