The first transmogrifier Calvin invents consists of an upside-down ] (first appeared ], ]) with the word "transmogrifier" handwritten on the side in ]. A dial on the side of the box may be pointed towards one of several settings, also marked on the box in marker. More settings can be added by simply writing them around the dial. A button initiates the transmogrification process, turning the thing under the box into whatever is indicated on the dial always accompanied by a loud "zap!" sound when activated. Calvin used his transmogrifier to great effect in the comic strip, transforming himself into a ], ], ] and other ]s. |

Calvin made subsequent improvements upon the transmogrifier technology, turning the box into a duplicator (by turning it on its side and writing "duplicator" on the side) and a ] (by turning the box upright and writing "time machine" on the side). He also produced an improved, portable transmogrifier, which was incorporated into his water pistol. (This latter invention was once used as a button ] in a ] for the ], and the operation, which randomly mixed ]s, was named ''transmogrify''). Calvin once used his trasmogrifyer and turned it into the Cerebel Enhance-o-tron (by putting the box upside-down like the normal transmogrifyer, but with three wires connected to a colander) This was made so that Calvin could finish his homework, but due to temporary occasions, he got a D. |
