     Ok I Know Beast Boy Can Turn Into Pretty Much Any Animal He Can Imagine 
    But What I'm LOST About Is Can He Also Morph His Uniform?? (In Teen Titans GO! The Cartoon Series Ep 9 S 3 "The Beast Within" When Gar Morphs Into His "WereBeast" His Uniform Rips From His Body) 
    If He Can, What Is His Uniform Made Of??

    In Marvel, Reed Richards created the unstable molecules to make his suit stretch and be extremely durable. I know this doesn't help with the Beast Boy question, but I imagine it's something similar.

    what upsets me the most is that the newest writer on Teen Titans gave him a power upgrade without telling anyone or explaining why or how it happened

    apparently he can turn into mythical creatures now but I'm not sure when/how this happened...in the last issue he transformed into a giant green flaming phoenix thing and a fire breathing dragon....he's only ever been able to turn into real animals before

    That's weird. I was thinking does he ever change into anything like that. But this is a Comic world and I think dragons and Mythical creatures exist so technically he should be able to do it. He transformed into an alien creature once. Maybe from other worlds, Dragons are there.

    Where his uniform goes - writers have never dealt with it properly - in the old Doom Patrol in the 60s, he told Cliff that his uniform doesn't go anywhere, his body emanates some sort of photon illusion that makes his uniform the same colour as his skin/feathers/fur - which is just dumb.  I can look up the issue number if you want it. 
     
    Titans 17 - Wally says his super speed vision lets him see where Gar's uniform goes when he changes.  Wally: "change the subject or I'm spilling the secret."   
     
    I think the answer is that the writers haven't figured that out yet. 
     
    But on the DC boards we did figure out that Gar has latent telepathic powers b/c he can use the Mento helmet, and not everyone is able to.  This means that probably when he changes form, even if he is a housefly or something with no vocal cords, he appears to talk to people around them bc he is instinctively/unconsciously talking to them telepathically.  To them, it just appears that he is somehow talking normally.

    Actually it is mentioned in the comic: Titans Fractured. 
    In it Beast Boy is talking to Wally West at breakfast:
     
    B.B.: Y'know, Wally, next time Grodd goes on a rampage you should put pants on him at super speed.
    Flash: Yeah, well, it's that same super speed that lets me see where your pants go when you shape shift, so change the subject or I'm spilling the secret.
     
    So, what is the secret? The authors basically know they can't explain it, so they just make a joke about it, but unfortunately that probably doesn't answer your question. Still, I just bought this book today, and as soon as I looked up Beast boy, here was your question, weird huh?

    His suit is customized to morph with him. Normal clothes would not be morphed

    I've also thought about that. During the transformation of Beast Boy, the suit disappears. Then reappears.

    My explanation would be that the suit is made up of nanotechnology. The suit can be reduced to the size of a molecule and then reconstituted.

    Huh, interesting... does this mean that when he turns into a dog he can only be one representative of all dogs... or can he be any kind of dog... because the reasoning there could apply to why he can represent other humanoids.

    i think its that he can only transform into animals he has seen or knows about.  if he doesnt know a certain alien species exists or what it looks like, he cant transform into it.
