So the new promo {Supplant Form} - if you use it on a transformed planeswalker like {Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker}, you would get a token copy of the planeswalker?
Edit - to clarify, I know Supplant Form can target the planeswalker for the first part of its game text. But would the fact that the token would enter the battlefield as a planeswalker and not a creature prevent the second part of the text?

706.2a (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=706.2a): A copy acquires the color of the object it's copying because that value is derived from its mana cost or color indicator. A copy acquires the abilities of the object it's copying because those values are derived from its rules text. A copy doesn't wind up with two values of each ability (that is, it doesn't copy the object's abilities and its rules text, then have that rules text define a new set of abilities).
The short version - you are correct, you would get a {Sarkhan the Dragonspeaker} with 4 loyalty counters.
Thanks! Can't plus you yet though...

No worries :) I'm in it for the fun mental puzzles anyways.
