I know that a Monstruous creature can use two shooting attacks the same turn, as long as the two target the same unit.
And I believe that a single unit can blow a transport with a heavy/special weapon, and then use it's anti-infantry shots to kill the remaining, although I don't remember the section of the rulebook saying that.

So, assuming both assumptions are correct, does it mean a C'tan can target a transport with his Transdimentionnal Thunderbolt, blow it, and then shoot the passengers with one of the others shooting attacks (PyreShard or the other) ?

(BTW, what is the name of the 5" template power ?)

No, if you pop a transport you cannot shoot the crunchies inside. Other units can, but since they were not an eligible target when you declared your fire, you can't swap targets.

This is incorrect. All of the shooting from a single unit occurs simultaneously. You would not be able to pop a transport with a squad's heavy weapon and then mow down the now disembarked squad.

yea, 1 unit is unable to shoot the transport than the embarked. Even units that can fire at 2 different targets dont have permission to do this, as the embarked are not a legal target initially.

As Ghaz said; the rulebook actually explicitly says the opposite of what Arkon thinks he remembers. That you may NOT hit the occupants of a transport with your anti-infantry guns after popping it with your squad heavy weapon.

Thanks for the answers.
