First Code
mob
    proc
        DeathCheck(mob/Target)
            if(Target.powerlevel <= 0)
                if(istype(Target,/mob/monsters/))
                    if(Target.transformable && Target.transformlevel != 4)
                        Target.Monster_Transform()


Second Code
        Monster_Transform()

Monster`s names are same and i make them transformable, but still once i kill them they won`t transform, just die.

I didn't read the whole thing but I expect that this line is the problem...
if(Target.powerlevel <= 0)


I think you mean.

if(Target.powerlevel >= 0)


If that's not the problem I suggest you output to the world every time an if statement checks, like so
mob
    proc
        DeathCheck(mob/Target)
            if(Target.powerlevel <= 0)
                    world<<"power-level checked"    
                    if(istype(Target,/mob/monsters/))
                       world<<"is monster"   
                       if(Target.transformable && Target.transformlevel != 4)
                           world<<"is transformable
                           Target.Monster_Transform()


This way you get a message whenever a check passes, if you don't get the message that means you know where the check failed.

i yust need to put return so monster didnt die
                    if(Target.transformable && Target.transformlevel != 4)
                        src.Monster_Transform(Target)
                        return<----


Tnx for halping anyway
