Shellformer

This article is about toys that have lots of kibble. For toys from a long time ago that still haven't been sold, see Shelfwarmer.

The robot is the prize inside. No refunds.

A shellformer is a fandom term for a 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.

Shellformers should not be confused with the Pretenders.
