Thanks to the weibo account of
yaY7IhwgL (login required), we have our first image of a new upcoming Cyberverse playset. This time around, Bumblebee gets a battlesuit treatment. According to the packaging, the battlesuit can transform into a base mode for use with other Cyberverse figures. This will make a nice companion piece to the
Optimus Maximus figure and will be sold at the same price point as the
Starhammer and
Energon Driller. It will most likely be a part of Cyberverse Vehicles Wave 2.

Igear has updated their
Facebook with new prototype images of their upcoming Sharkticon unofficial figure project. Staying very loyal to the
original G1 design, but at a smaller scale, this figure will be one to collect and troop build. Make sure your collection has good representations of Kup, Hot Rod and the Dinobots (and Wheelie too) to dispose of these vicious little guys!
Check out the images after the break!
