#couple years ago one of my hyperfixations was Boueibu (the magical boy anime)

They each get a unique transformation sequence, complete with music and sparkles!

If they're going from default engine forms to Magical Girl Human forms, their engine bodies will lift into the air by the power of Magic as their respective theme music plays. The frame of the engine becomes the silhouette of their human form, and as they move their hands and arms we see their paint coat become their dashing, smart, and frilly outfits! Then, at the end, they all do a unique pose and exclaim their names!

Or, vice versa! Default human forms into engines! They all have some kind of accessory (I'm thinking a watch probably) where Sir Topham Hatt can communicate to them that the railway is in trouble! There is confusion and delay! And they need the Magical Engines to help. Thomas and his friends run to the scene. And as they transform, you see the silhoutte of their human forms grow drastically in size until they become their engine forms (with a new, sparkly paint coat)! And then they gracefully land onto the track with a Peep! Peep!

t&f humanizations but theyre magical girls..........
