A term within the Transformers fan community to refer to figures in which the entire alternate (non-robot) mode is formed from pieces hanging off of the robot mode (kibble). Notable cases include Beast Wars Neo "Big Convoy", whose entire wolly mammoth mode, except for some parts on the robot mode's legs, can be popped off and assembled into a near-complete mammoth mode without any major dissasembly; and RID Side Burn, in whom hardly any robot parts form parts of the car.
