	'''Shellformer''' is a fandom term (most often used derisively) for a [[Toy\|Transformer]] that transforms by "peeling" [[kibble\|pieces of one form]] to reveal the other form inside. Literally, the majority of the [[alternate mode]] is a "shell" that closes completely (or close enough) around the robot parts, with the [[robot mode]] having very little genuine integration of the alternate mode parts. Sometimes, the term '''panelformer''' is used as a synonym.
