A '''shellformer''' is a fandom term for a [[Toy|Transformer]] that transforms by "unpeeling" pieces of one form to reveal the other form inside. Literally, one mode (almost always the [[Alternate_mode]]) is a "shell" that closes completely (or close enough) around the robot parts. This term is often used derisively.
