Did any of the transformers turn into a Citroen?
It probably would have been one of those crap £1.99 ones that poor kids had and which we about 80 times smaller than the rest of the toys, and called something like Juice Breaker or something.
I always preferred those little animals in armour that were either wood, fire, rock or water or something.

I don't think there was ever a Citroen transformer. If there was, he'd almost certainly have been mates with Nissan Sunnytron

Nah, they were the robot things that transformed into rocks (Christ, why did that seem okay when I was a kid?). I think Benny's talking about the things that had little patches on their chest that you rubbed and either a fire, water or wood symbol appeared, you were supposed to basically play "Paper, Scissors, Stone" with them. They might have been called Elementals or some shit but Googling that's getting me nowhere.

Lol. I had one of those. The design of the robot was actually pretty good, but when it was 'transformed', it was - you know - just a rock.

If he's a robot that transforms into a rock, then what does he do with his "Power Sword"? I mean it would be a bit suspicious to see a pile of rubble with numerous discarded weapons strewn alongside.
This is the one I had. It looks a lot lamer than I remember it, though. It's quite clear now why I chose not to pursue this avenue of merchandise, and now I don't feel so bad about my mum giving all this shit to Barnardos.

"A happy-go-lucky rock with a ready laugh, Granite is truly a "genital giant". But put him in the thick of the fight and he's one of the most fearsome combanatns on the battlefield. Despite its ordinary appearance, the T-Gun's shiny bullets will pierce anything and that's enough to send any evil rock running for cover!"

These are quite excellent! I had a Transformer (I think it transformed into a triceratops) but now I feel I missed out. Then again, they turn into rocks. What the hell's that about? Is it a defence mechanism? Can they communicate as rocks or only as robots? How do they know to change back? I think I may be reading too much into this.

In later episodes Grimlock changed his name to Chav and he and Slag set up home together, siring twelve rat-bots that stole for them inbetween the gyro arriving on a thursday.
