|Transformation serums
|Very much the core of Lab Rat's work, as outlined above.<ref name="power"/> There are four examples of the results of ingesting these serums:
*Taken by Lab Rat himself, it transformed him into what [[Clockblocker]] describes as 'some kind of photosynthetic lardass, so fat he took up two stories of a house'.<ref name="caught"/>
*When injected with the serum<ref name=fitting>A girl with a bug costume.  Tinted lenses.  Either symbolic, given the recent conversation, or the universe mocking him.<br/><br/>He drew the equipment from his bag, then hesitated.  Something more fitting.  A bug in a box for the girl with the bug costume.  Maybe she would be more comfortable that way. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/11/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref> contained in one the matchboxes (listed below), [[Taylor]] transforms into a seven-limbed creature with at least one claw, covered in studs at regular intervals, very much like teeth.<ref name="seven_limbs"/> While the transformation is useful for climbing,<ref name="seven_limbs">I tested my right hand.  The flesh wasn’t tender.  It was ''hard''.  There were studs at regular intervals along either half, like teeth.  ''Very'' like teeth.<br/><br/>A claw.<br/><br/>I raised my claw over my head, then drew it down violently, driving it into a crack.<br/><br/>I was able to climb faster.  I reached the point where the concrete ended.  A shaft of four steel beams reinforced by criss-crossing beams set at diagonals loomed above me.<br/><br/>It was an even faster climb than the concrete.  My legs ended in points, and those same points slipped off of the metal beams, but I had seven limbs to work with.  Even if half of my limbs were reaching out for holds, I still had three or four solid points of contact I could maintain at any given point in time. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref> it is poor for swimming.<ref>My legs kicked, but they weren’t good legs for swimming.  I kept kicking anyways.  Something about the way they moved, they were designed so that the motions shifted my abdominal cavity, pumped it, forcing air in and out with the rhythmic activity. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref> Taylor noted she was unable to speak. Instead, there was something odd about the sides of her mouth, and she had a thin tongue with a hard layer.<ref name="matchboxes"/>
*Another subject of the matchboxes' serum manifested spreading scales around prominent veins instead. The full transformation is not shown.<ref>After a pause, he pressed it against one of the wounded.<br/><br/>It beeped, then a light went on in the corner.<br/><br/>The cape convulsed, his back arching.<br/><br/>A moment later, transformations began, veins standing out along his arms and legs.<br/><br/>“Another one,” Weld said.  “Get me a spare.”<br/><br/>Sanguine handed him another.  Weld applied it.  Scales were manifesting around the most prominent veins on the first one by the time the second patient started reacting. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref><ref>“It’s working,” Sanguine said.<br/><br/>It wasn’t.  I looked at him, confused.<br/><br/>His eyes were on the patients.  ''He’s talking about Lab Rat’s matchboxes.''  I looked, and I saw how the scales were spreading.  They were breathing easier. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref>
*[[Bastard]] is injected with the serum while also being exposed to [[Bitch]]'s power. This results in a transformation where the limiter, mass, has been seemingly removed. Bastard becomes one connected but incoherent mass, with muscles, claws, horn and bone, calcified flesh, tendrils and body parts raining down from the main lump, with many different mouths, snarling at [[Scion]].<ref name="dog example"/>

|Matchbox-sized devices

|'Jar' of essence
|Not an actual jar, but a device the size of a baseball,<ref name="death"/> it contains distilled Lab Rat.<ref name="in_a_jar"/> Not exactly a clone,<ref>Not a clone, exactly. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/3gbaru/i_think_i_missed_something_huge_spoilers_worm/ctyi959/ reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> the jar was meant for when things where unrecoverable.<ref>The jar wasn't supposed to be recovered. It was supposed to be for when things were unrecoverable. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/3gbaru/i_think_i_missed_something_huge_spoilers_worm/ctyic47/ reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref> The contents of this jar eventually hatched a [[Chris Elman|Replicent]], inheriting Lab Rat's memories and shard through a complex and extended follow-up process.<ref name=II10.y>[[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref>
