Description

Oftentimes people will get confused as to the difference between ``ReplacementTransform`` and ``Transform`` due to their similar names. It might be beneficial to rename them to something else.
After brainstorming, some possible names for ``ReplacementTransform`` are:

- ``Become``
- ``Replace``

and for ``Transform``:
- ``ShapeShift``
- ``Morph``

My personal favorite is ``Morph`` ;)

What do you think? It would be nice to have as many opinions as possible since these animations are very commonly used.
