You seem to imply here that Cognos Transformer and PowerPlay Transformer are different things? They are not - they are two names for the same tool.

Transformer (or Cognos Transformer or PowerPlay Transformer) is a client tool for designing and publishing PowerCubes.
Impromptu is a windows-based user reporting tool for reporting from relational sources. It was designed in the early 1990s and has been functionally replaced (and surpassed) by the current Cognos 10 reporting capabilities in Report Studio/Cognos Workspace Advanced
Metric Studio is a browser-based user interface for viewing and monitoring metrics (stored in a metrics database).
