This is gorgeous.

Nice......wanna see the paint job before my decision...

Gorgeous! I didn't pick up the other 2 due to high price... but this looks almost too awesome to pass up.

I've got to admit, that's pretty cool. Very nice job retooling to mold.

Wow

When they initially revealed this one I thought it was a poor excuse to milk a mold of all it's worth. But now I see it it's going to be hard to turn it down.

I have to say the idea of turning it into Tarantulus is a poor one. The mold isn't fat enough and it really would be an attempt to milk the mold.

With all the fem-bots from G1, wouldnt it be more logical to make her into Elita One, Flare-Up, Moonracer, etc ???

Maybe if they did extensive retools like this release. But i think this BlackArachnia is an original idea and looks pretty cool. That also isn't me saying that the other Fembots won't see a release from this mold either. Time will tell.

Black Arachnia is a character from the Beeast Wars era. If some 3rd party decided to make the Predacons or Terrorcons into "neo" vechicles, the fandom would send them to hell. So why have Black Arachnia as a bike ??? It's just dumb. I expect dumb from Hasbro (Cheetor and Quickstrike as cars, Air Razor as a jet) But from a 3rd party company I dont expect lame neo re-tools.

Just because you don't want it doesn't mean it's a dumb idea.
