I know there is no way to answer this really, I just want to hear your opinions.
If it was possible to have a transformation, like the ones you see in films and things, would it be painful? Some of the ones, on some films look really drawn out...
Very Stupid Question: Would transformations hurt?

Interesting question. I think Transforming into anything outside humanoid shape might be painful.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
It could either be a natural process, like any natural shape change the body undergoes. And as such painless.
To me it (usually) looks more like a forced transformation, which would have lots of tissue forcibly rearranging itself at an extremely high rate. If the neural pathways aren't moving in exact sync with this it would presumably be excruciating.
In Animorphs they said it was painless, even though it looked otherwise.
I know you've seen DBZ, and complained about the length of time they grunt at each other.
Why do you think it takes so long for them to do it there? :P
You're right, it is a pretty stupid question. It depends entirely on how the transformation process would be done, and whatever laws of physics exists in the given fictional universe.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
It's all about the species. Chameleons experience no pain shifting from one color to the next.
However, a lot of films have featured shifters who experience pain during their transformations. There's no guarantee a shift would be painless unless you had mastery over your pain receptors and could displace them to areas that would not be disturbed by the change.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.

Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

DBZ characters draw out their transformations because if they rushed, their power would burst out of their bodies and they'd die
I would think a transformation hurts because some people get knee pains from growth spurts, so I servere transformation must hurt a lot. And not to mention the clothes! There must be a point in a transformation when your clothes are too tight and its squeazing everything in.
When we dance, it looks just like Fire.
When we sing, it sounds the same tone.
To be fair, I believe those knee pains come from having to adjust to the new weight attributed to the growth spurt which is now bearing down on the joints.
