We've got the Autobot Ark, Optimus' trailer, Bumblebee's bunker, and Starscream's carrier. Now the third wave of the Cyberverse Action sets introduce Shockwave and his Fusion Tank, and (Autobot) Ratchet and his Lunar Crawler. Both of these have been showcased at BotCon 2011 and SDCC 2011, and now thanks to HK-TF member darkon, we have in-hand images of both sets. Certainly more fun for those collecting the smaller scale of Transformers! Both individual Cyberverse figures share the same colors as their larger sets, which is peculiar for Ratchet. Perhaps foreshadowing a future repaint in a larger class scale? Check out the images below!

If the figures didn't transform, I'd call return of the Action Masters.

These things look like a ton of fun for kids.

Not impressed with either one, honestly.

Though I may end up buying them to attach to the ark.

Now that I've seen the movie, I want a Cyberverse Shockwave that comes with the Driller, as cool as his set already is.

Totally getting the Ratchet set, I'm a sucker for space toys, liking that rover.

In the shot where Shockwave is standing behind the cannon platform, it looks like he's doing something unseemly. Unseemly for Humans, anyway, who knows what's what on Cyberton.

Either a smaller version of the tank or he just becomes a tread/side to the larger vehicle.

Yeah, I'm really disappointed. It seems like a missed opportunity. Especially since these movies are supposed to make you want the toys. I'll probably get it anyway because it's Shocky.

These Cyberverse sets have been some of my favorite toys as of late. Can't wait for Shockwave. Unsure about Ratchet. The set itself looks awesome, but the gold and blue look odd on Ratchet.

Looks like Shocky transforms into his tank mode, and the big platform just snaps onto the back of the tank. His gun and sword can be plugged into him or the platform.

The Combined vehicle mode of Ratchet for some reason reminds me of Energon Landmine.

I'm not digging the colors of Ratchet himself, but I'll pick both sets up when there out en mass.

That is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. It would make a bit more sense, and how else are we going to get a figure of the Driller(Rumble) right?

Also: I like the way the small Shockwave figure integrates seamlessly with his base, it looks awesome, I'm actually thinking of getting him where these Cyberverse figures never interested me before (other than Starscream).

I was thinking/hoping they could have done a better job with Starscream honestly. He is a bit better, but his wings look backwards and he seems light weight comepared to some of the others like Megs and Powerglide.

Yes, but he's in perfect proportion to a G1 Skylynx figure so then I could have Starscream like, jumping off his little gunship and attacking the shuttle as it leaves orbit!

Although, I WOULD need something to act as the Xantium to put ontop of Skylynx. But I can burn that bridge when I come to it.

hmmm...how would RTS legends work with G1 Skylynx? Would they fit or no? hmmm..... good idea you got there.
