[edit]Added to the Cyberverse toyline in 2019 as part of the Power of the Spark rebranding, each Spark Armor is a vehicle that can become battle armor for compatible figures. The "Battle Class" armors disassemble into parts that attach to the bots via 5 mm attachment points, while the larger "Elite Class" vehicles transform in one step into add-on armor, rather than splitting into multiple pieces. The two size classes are not strictly compatible, but nothing's stopping you from adding those Battle Class parts to whatever compatible ports there are on the Elite Class figures.
"Ark Power" Optimus Prime is the size of a Leader Class figure, and has battle armor which can be assembled into a ship resembling the Ark.
