WotC board had an article out for epic levels of transformative prestige classes. I don't think it turned one into a full dragon though.
Edit: Here ya go! Hope it helps...
Dragon Disciple (Dragon)
Perhaps the most symbolic of the transformational prestige classes, the path of the dragon disciple allows a character to become the most iconic monster of the D&D game: a dragon.
Along the way to reaching dragon apotheosis, the dragon disciple gains claw and bite attacks, natural armor, wings, size, and, of course, a breath weapon. But in most cases, these are only pale reflections of the power of a true dragon. This suggests that the best route for the epic dragon disciple is to improve upon his already formidable draconic powers.
Because the dragon disciple's bonus spell progression doesn't follow an easily discernible pattern, and because the class is quite potent enough without it, the epic progression presented below does not continue the bonus spells.
Hit Die: d12.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier.
Natural Armor: At 11th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, the dragon disciple's natural armor bonus increases by +1 (to +5 at 11th, +6 at 14th, and so on).
Wing Slam: At 12th level, the dragon disciple gains the ability to make two wing slam attacks each round (assuming he is at least Medium-size). Wing attacks deal the damage listed in the table below plus one-half the dragon disciple's Strength bonus, and are at a -5 penalty to the attack bonus.
Breath Weapon Increase: At 13th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, the epic dragon disciple's breath weapon increases in power and frequency of use. The damage dealt by the breath weapon increases by 2 dice (if it deals 6 dice of damage at 10th level) or by 1 die (if it deals 3 dice of damage at 10th level). The additional dice are of the same type normally dealt by the dragon disciple's breath weapon. In addition, the save DC for the breath weapon increases by 1 point, and the range increases as shown in the table below. Finally, the dragon disciple gains one additional daily use of his breath weapon, though he must wait 1d4 rounds before each use.
Enlargement: At 15th level, and every 10 levels thereafter, the dragon disciple's size increases by one step (such as from Large to Huge), to a maximum of Colossal size. The change in size affects the dragon disciple's base natural weapon damage (see below). Apply the appropriate new size modifier to the character's attacks and AC.
If the dragon disciple is already Colossal, he instead gains a +2 bonus to Strength.
Tail Slap: At 17th level, the dragon disciple grows a serpentine tail that he can use to deliver tail slap attacks. A tail slap deals the listed damage plus 1 1/2 times the dragon disciple's Strength bonus and is at a -5 penalty to the attack bonus.
Spell Resistance (Ex): The 18th-level dragon disciple gains spell resistance equal to 20 + his class level.
Blindsight (Ex): The dragon disciple gains blindsight at 20th level, allowing him to ascertain creatures by nonvisual means just as a dragon does. The range of this ability is 30 feet at 20th level, and it increases by 30 feet every 10 levels thereafter.
Dragon Disciple Natural Attacks and Breath Weapon Range
Size Bite Claw Wing* Tail Slap** Line (length) Cone (length)
Small 1d4 1d3 n/a n/a 60 ft. 30 ft.
Medium-size 1d6 1d4 1d3 n/a 60 ft. 30 ft.

Huge 2d6 1d8 1d6 1d8 100 ft. 50 ft.
Gargantuan 2d8 2d6 1d8 2d6 120 ft. 60 ft.
Colossal 4d6 2d8 2d6 2d8 140 ft. 70 ft.
*Gained at 12th level.
**Gained at 17th level.
Bonus Feats: The epic dragon disciple gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic dragon disciple feats) every 5 levels after 10th.
Epic Dragon Disciple Bonus Feat List: Armor Skin, Damage Reduction, Epic Prowess, Epic Skill Focus (Knowledge [arcana]), Epic Toughness, Extended Life Span, Flyby Attack†, Great Charisma, Great Constitution, Great Strength, Hover†, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Darkvision, Improved Spell Capacity, Improved Spell Resistance, Snatch†, Spell Knowledge, Wingover†.
†Non-epic feat. Treat the dragon disciple's age category as one-half his class level for the purpose of the Hover feat.

It's epic. There is only one attack progression at epic levels.

What he said... 
oops....stupid
My Dm was actualy after something a bit more in line with the turning into the real thing.
Is there anything in Savage species?
What about the drconomican?
I was personaly thinking of something based on the Geomancer....but with the draconic elements as choices.
There would have to be at least alternate spell progression
