Maya's Transforms (by Episode, in DAB order)
Intro
Maya's transformations, by
episode in
Days After Breakaway (DAB).
The two episodes where DAB is not known are kept
in production order between two episodes whose DAB's are known.
Episodes where Maya does not transform or
is only shown by flashback are not listed.
BOW2's nonsensical DAB is ignored.
For a key to the column entries, see the
Maya's Transformations entry.
This entry is one the Editor considers the main list,
with more detail than the rest which follow.

* Notes
- 2a (lioness): she apparently does not realize predatory nature of creature, and obviously does not know he would recognize it.
- 2b (Helena): the humor was apparently instigated by Helena, to tease John; Maya was a little hesitant at first.
- 2b (panther): once in the animal form, she apparently no longer retains enough of her mind to recognize the enemy is going for the weapon.
- 2f (slatternly self): threatens to "lock" herself in form, as a bluff (given one-hour limit)
- 2g (kestrel): Captured the third time in this form. Caged, almost to the point of her limit/death.
- 2j (owl): forced down by Magus and then released, unrecognized (until after the fact)
- 2k (Kreno): this creature is able to breathe chlorine, chokes in oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere.
- 2n (Kreno): this time she apparently holds breath against oxygen (or does not breath it too deeply)
- 2n (lizard): same as in prior episode?
- 2p (scale-face): attempts to fly an Eagle; very close to one-hour limit, but Medical fears her alter dying before she reverts.
- 2p (male Psychon): clearly not Mentor (or meant to be Mentor played by another actor; but even eyebrows are different?)
- 2p (bug-eye): vacuum resistant, but running out of presumed oxygen store even before reversion; brought back into air, now facing one hour limit
- 2q (fighter): evidently learned kendo from someone at a prior point.
- 2r (enemy): has difficulty reverting
- 2r (larren): a different vacuum-resistent bipedal creature
- 2s (caterpillar): while in this form, nearly murdered twice by Carolyn, once by crushing, once by suffocation
- 2t (plant): three hour flight; presumably reverted twice (most likely).
- 2x (lizard): same as in BOW1.
Comments
- The case of her being trapped in a cage (in
"Rules of Luton") and being unable to
shift directly to another form is
sometimes cited as a contradiction
to her shifting from dog to gorilla in
"The Metamorph" and from dog to weasel in
"The Taybor" --
but it is notable that she is in a much smaller form on Luton.
Perhaps there is a subtle size limit of some kind that
allows direct transforms if she's trapped but as a larger
form in a larger cage, but doesn't if she's trapped as a smaller
form in a smaller cage. (If so, it would have been nice if this
were stated somehow on screen, and the above is just speculation,
so take it as you will.)
