Can you transform an already existing pet into a steamwork pet?
Mabel, I have very keen powers of observation. For example, just by smelling your breath, I can tell that you have been eating... an entire tube of toothpaste?
Yes, you can. You still need the schematic for the kind of steamwork pet you want and a yunium key, then bring them here (link) and it should give you the option to create a new steamwork pet or transform one of your existing pets.
If you make a new pet, it will get the special Steamwork/Cog gender option. If you use an existing pet, it will keep whatever gender option it has at the time.
