    Default Line Interpretation...

    行動が変してゆきます。 - koudou ga hen shite yuki masu.

    I've translated this line as "[Their] actions will change".
    I was wondering, could this also be interpreted as "[Their] actions will become strange"?

    In a word, no. If you translate 変 here as [strange], 変してゆく would literally translate as "go strange", which makes no sense. If it meant that, it would read 変になる (変になってゆく).

    Since there is no verb like 変する in Japanese,
    I'd assume "化" is dropped out between "変" and "してゆきます".

    The sentence must be "行動が変化してゆきます" ,
    meaning "[their] actions will change " , just as you translated.
