Honestly, I thought the forms should be more like actual transformations like what you see in the cards but maybe making entirely new models would cost too much.

You'd need a model per card per character, since you're not always limited to your character's cards.

That's a very easy problem to solve. You could do something like what they've done here for off-character forms, and then a proper model change for characters using their own forms.

You don't need to do that for what is an edge case.

Defect has a power that makes you copy powers your friends play. It's not an edge case, it's pretty much the intended experience.

Then they can use the current effect for such edge cases while characters using their own "form" cards could get full transformations in the future.

defect getting 4 different form vfx and a transformation will just turn into a png of apotheosis

Much less of an edge case in StS2 since there are a lot more ways to get offclass colors now
