Item name	Transformation device Henshin item

A transformation device is a fictional prop present in most ACG works, commonly seen in tokusatsu and magical girl shows.

Introduction

Transformation devices are props present in most tokusatsu and anime/manga series, commonly used by the main character(s) to change, and they may be essential to the character.

Most of them have a fantastical appearance. Many of them may be based upon real props, but their structures are more exaggerated here.

Usage

Som edevices have buttons or switches to trigger the transformation, so you only need to follow specific steps to complete the transformation; some other devices require the user to cooperate with a specific posture or a phrase to complete the transformation; and some other devices can be driven by the user's mind power to help them transform.
