when you use the abilities to transform the planeswalker to creature, does it replace the names of gideon and sarkhan for nicol bolas?
or would this ability look for gideon/sarkhan and fizzle since bolas isn't either of them?
A card that refers to itself like that is read as "this permanent". So it would work fine. I'll dig up the specific rules-text. brb
201.4. Text that refers to the object it’s on by name means just that particular object and not any other
objects with that name, regardless of any name changes caused by game effects
201.4b If an ability of an object refers to that object by name, and an object with a different name
gains that ability, each instance of the first name in the gained ability that refers to the first
object by name should be treated as the second name
