You just answered your own question, it would be too overwelming not to mention somewhat pointless of a card.

For you see, if the card had Transform, then your Soulguard and Counterattack are pretty much useless. Counterattack only activates if your card doesn't get destroyed by an Attack, meaning your Transformed Monster which is now an Item would never get to use such an ability ever. And the Soulguard would not work either except againt Item destruction cards and abilities but there isn't that many of them nor do they get used that often from what I've seen.

A good card in this game has to have Balance so that it functions and can be fully used in the game.
