Flexibility is the key to survival. The robotic [[Mmrnmhrm]] understood this concept, as proven by their agreement to join the [[Chenjesu]] in their "Process", but their warships have integrated this concept wholly and fully. The Mmrnmhrm '''Transformer''' could quickly transform from the slow but powerful X-Form to the quick stinging Y-form.

==Navigation==
===X-Form===
The X-Form has the dubious honor of being the slowest ship in the game, slower than even the [[VUX]] [[Intruder]].  However, while terribly slow, the X-form has an excellent turning rate, allowing it to quickly bring its formidable weaponry to bear upon its opponents.

===Y-Form===
The quick Y-form relies on the concept of "If you can’t hit me, you can’t kill me". One of the fastest ships in the galaxy, the Y-form is only somewhat hampered by its slow turn-rate.  The Y-form can quite effectively evade enemy shots if flown by a skilled pilot. 

==Armament==
===Primary===
====X-Form====
The X-Form is equipped with a powerful twin-laser array that deal enormous damage at a short range.  This weapon rapidly depletes the modest energy store of the Transformer, so care must be taken.

====Y-Form====
The Y-form uses long-range twin missile launchers with fair tracking systems. While the missiles cause little damage, their range when correctly mixed with the Y-form’s immense speed can slowly demolish a ship, causing slow but constant attritional damage from a safe distance. Being able to outrun most ships, the Y-form is vital to winning any battle.

===Secondary===
The secondary ability of the Transformer is to switch between the X-form and Y-form modes.  This is a fairly intensive process, and will fully deplete the combat batteries of the Transformer.

== Tactical Overview ==
When piloted skillfully the Transformer can prove a lethal adversary to most ships, either by attrition or by short and deadly laser-blast. An experienced pilot can use the flexibility of the versatile Transformer to overcome most ships.

Strong Against: Nearly every ship.

Weak Against: The [[Chmmr]] [[Avatar]], with its zap-sats able to neutralize the Y-form's missiles, a more powerful laser with greater range than the X-form, is deadly to the Transformer, leaving little choice but attempting a suicide-run with its lasers hot.  The [[Kohr-Ah]] [[Marauder]] can effectively lay mines which the slow-turning Y-form can hardly evade. [[Chenjesu]] [[Broodhome]] Crystaline Shots can do the same but it takes a good aim. The [[Yehat]] [[Terminator]]’s shield turns it into a major adversary. An unwary pilot can find the Earthling [[Cruiser]] rather deadly too.
