Yes, but this isn't an item, and Durandal only needed special text for that because it was. Furthermore, look at the difference between the Japanese version of Durandal's "buddy text" and the English version. The Japanese version said "You can put this card in the Buddy Zone and gain 1 life when you equip it." The English version said "This card can be your buddy." Now, can this card be your buddy? Yes, it's a monster, and the rules say it can be your buddy. Now, Durandal doesn't need special text past "This card can be your buddy" to tell us that when you play it onto the field, you get to Buddy Call. I assume that Transform would work EXACTLY the same way; as long as the card is placed onto the field, no matter what the zone, if you have not performed a Buddy Call, you may make it a Buddy Call.
