On my turn, I use Animator’s (MM 100) Action: ability to move an artifact into the battleline as a creature. If I play an upgrade on that creature what happens when the artifact is no longer a creature? What happens to counters and tokens like Ward, Æmber, etc.?
When the card reverts to an artifact, the upgrade will remain attached to the artifact, as will all counters. If the upgrade would modify a creature, (e.g. it contains the text "This creature gains") it no longer does so, but if the card becomes a creature, the upgrade would modify the creature (along with any other relevant counters). All counters (including Æmber) will go to the common supply and any upgrades will be discarded when the artifact leaves play.

In my play area, I have Animator (MM 100) and Fangtooth Cavern (WC 370). If I use Animator to treat Fangtooth Cavern as a creature belonging to the active house, can the lasting effect of Animator's ability expire before resolving Fangtooth Cavern’s “At the end of your turn” ability, or does Animator refer to the end of turn timing point?
Animator’s ability creates a lasting effect that expires at the end of the turn, which is after Fangtooth Cavern’s “end of turn” effect resolves.
