Courtesy of our very own Nevermore we can share for you new stock images of the Transformers Cyberverse: Power Of The Spark – Spark Armor Battle Class Ratchet And Shockwave & Elite Class Grimlock.
Argos and Amazon uploaded packaging and stock images of Spark Armor Ratchet and his vehicle/armor partner Blizzard Breaker. Amazon shared images of Spark Armor Shockwave and his satellite/armor partner Solar shot. The individual robots seems to be pretty articulated for scout sized figures.
To top it all, NDA and Entertaintment Earth let us see images of the upcoming Elite Class Spark Armor Grimlock and his partner Trash Crash (a garbage truck). A Deluxe sized Grimlock toy that become a very bulky warrior once combined with Trash Crash.
Check out all the images after the jump, and then sound off your impressions of these figures on the 2005 Boards!

So I took a crack at painting Ratchet. I don’t usually do this but it was quite plain out the box. He also works quite well for my scale, can’t wait to get my hands on that deluxe PrimeView attachment 28724763 View attachment 28724764 View attachment 28724765

The Battle Class Shockwave is cool too. I love his armor/satellite.

These battle class figures are quite a mixed bag. Jetfire and Starscream are not my cup of tea, however Sky byte, Prowl and Ratchet are great. Prowl definitely has the best armor imo.
I know it’s wishful thinking but I’d kill for another wave of these under the Bumblebee cyberverse adventure banner. Maybe battle class Deadend, Chromia and Wheeljack?

Ugh. My Target had one Ratchet left and I got a defect! The pin isn’t going through the neckpiece or headflap so he can’t even transform. I can’t even push the pin out because it doesn’t go all the way though.

Edit: managed to easily slide the pin out using needlenose pliers. He’s all fixed now. Too bad his helmet isn’t white like on the package….

I will likely pick up the whole wave here, but agree that the larger ones (e.g. Optimus/Megs and now Grimlock) don't quite feel like they are $25…then again the $15-$17 deluxes have less basic articulation compared to this class of figures.
Grimlock looks goofy, but works for me.

I don\'t know about Grimlock, frankly I miss Wreck-Garr and seeing a garabge truck for Grimlock really isnt doing me any favors.
Ratchet is a lost cause at this point, the glossy images looked fine, but with no face paint it really drops the figure down in quality, not that Cyberverse is known for its high class toys, I don\'t plan on getting this one either.
And last but certainly not least, Shockwave! I really liked both his warrior and Ultra class figure, I have no words for the one step changer. And it seems that in the Cyberverse line Shockwave has gotten some preyty good toys. All are well articulated and look show acurate enough. And then there is this, when I fitst saw the glossy Images I though that they were re-using the warrior class mold. But seing the official images, its clearly not. He seems to be well articulated enough, and the spark armor does bare a very obvious resemblance to Shockblast. And out of all the Spark armors we got, I think the satelite fits Shockwave the best. Unlike some other characters like Ratchet with a jet-ski! I definitley will be picking this guy up. Though the price is a bit lackluster and feels a bit of a rip-off for a scout class and some armor.
1/3 for these guys
Worst: Ratchet
Middle: Grimlock
Best: Shockwave

WHAT? That is so not worth it, lol.
Then again, they'll probably be on clearance.

Ordered Ratchet on Amazon (even if he’s too small, he’s still 10 times better than the OTHER CYB Ratchet). Now if only Grimlock would go up for order on Amazon..

Grimlock looks pretty awful, imo, though I dig the garbage truck. I think I'd prefer Wreck-gar with that set-up, though!
Still hatin' Shockwave's stupid crab mode.
Just Ratchet for me. I dig the small guys – they're very much like Legends class toys!
$25 here in the States.

$20 for the near Deluxe actually.

Grimlock doesn't look like a TF toy tbh. He looks like he's a robo dino from a completely different brand.

Those look like fun. I\'m really enjoying Starscream even as an adult. Nice gimick.

So far the only 'clunker' to be in the smol class is Starscream. Why couldn't they just reuse the T30 Legend's transformation?
Vector Oracle
I think the Weaponizers fill that niche already. You have vehicles that split apart into armor pieces for the Deluxe and larger-sized TFs with the added bonus of having their own robot mode. If anything, the Weaponizers are technically a better deal because you have fully distinct TF figures that don't need another TF to make them feel complete.

Apparently wave 2 is out at retail already
Collecticon, Inc. on Instagram: “Found some cool guys at @target #transformers #cyberverse #powerofthespark #chicagotoyhunt”

That's quite a stretch. What bayformer do you know is a perfectly boxy robot with some light armor on? I'll wait.

I kind of like Grimlock. Depending on the size and cost, I might pick him up for my son.
DOTM Bumblebee
Oof. Not so sure I want Ratchet anymore, with that unpainted face… Shockwave looks good, but something seems weirdly off about Grimlock. I can't pinpoint anything inherently wrong with the deco or the sculpt, but he just doesn't appeal all that much.
SPLIT LIP
I want that little Ratchet. His ambulance mode is adorable.
