@Raindrops (I think it means Cock transformation, mostly by turning people getting fucked into the dick of their fuckers. Might sometimes be a cunt transformation too, I guess? Not my thing but semi-related to what we peddle around here.)
I am glad to hear the news of CoC2, and I love the concept of us experiencing a fresh fantasy world getting showered in corruption. I imagine this would make for a great setting to observe various innocent characters resist or embrace various changes put upon them or themselves.
I got some wishes I'd like to toss out there. I don't think I saw anything like them back in the thread, so I apologize if I'm making lightning strike twice here.

Self image/mental transformations. Basically the ability to change your body image and preferences: Start with "What the fuck, I just grew a pussy?? DO NOT WANT," After a few hours of masturbation you grudgingly go "Welp, I guess multiple orgasms ain't so bad." A few more days it slides over to "I need something more than this dildo... and it has to be BIGGER! And I need hips to get laid, and I need to get rid of
this to get laid..."
Various transforming and corrupting items could in theory transform your mind to want something before your body has changed, which could open up for fun "I must resist my urges" moments which I find fits the theme of corruption very well. In theory this could also be used to make your character ask himself twice before drinking that potion of femininity, and on the other hand, it could make them really,
really, want to drink that potion because that would bring them closer to what they'd like to be.
Should in theory be relatively easy to implement if one makes it something like a -10 to 10 scale of dislike/like where 3 to 5 might be normal appreciation/dislike of your junk. having a -3 to "the concept of having a vag (conceptVag)" while having a 3 in (conceptDick) would put you at a pretty average cis-gendered male that thinks "dicks are cool on him and prefers vaginas on women." Bit more work would be adding subtype preferences like "sissy dicks," But I'd say it would be like adding any sort of concept about a sexual organ to your mind. The biggest number is the one that gets priority. Some curses/items might increase, for example, your "sissy dick" preferences and reduce your "normal/above average dick" preferences. Getting very high positive or negative numbers could then be used to initiate events like hunting down dink shrinking items. a "conceptDick" score of a slightly delusional desire of 8-10, would probably provoke that character to take steps to get that average dick expanded to something safely in the double digits.

More persistent/varied transformations items, i.e. "The Treatment"-likes, curses triggered by various conditions, event things etc. One time one change potions has their place, but I hope we can relive some of that "What does this thing do then" that was half the fun for me when playing CoC.

More mystery items that does unknown things? I guess I'm a fan of roguelikes and discovering what various transforming items does by trying them out on yourself/others. I can guess from the design doc about alchemy that this isn't a priority, but I hope we will see a few novel items to make the CoC2 experience feel new.
I think I'll stop myself there. I saw there was mentioned earlier that implementing "historic memory" of your previous forms is a lot of work for few quips of text. (I can imagine that keeping a copy of a historical state of the character in every NPC he interacts with might be a bit annoying to maintain.) I think it's a bit of a shame, as half the fun with TF kinks is how people react to a person, even more so if they knew who they were before. Still. it's porn. I can accept that some choices will be sacrificed for the sanity of the developers.
