So Mesothulas IS Tarantulas, surprising nobody.

Also, the fact that the Noisemaze isn't affecting Hubcap makes me think he's going to turn out to be a traitor. Too bad. I like seeing more of the Minibots in fiction, and not killed off after a couple of appearances *Cough*Bumper*Cough*

Wow i would like to see a new Tarantulas figure based on this appearance and not another redeco,repaint,remold etc etc

It is obvious that Hubcap is either immune to the effects of the Noizemaze or more likely is a traitor.

I know that the article says that there are maybe spoilers but I'm pretty sure those are major spoilers including the reveal of Tarantulas and Hubcap's suspicious position.

Interesting. IDW seems to successfully be bring in Beast Wars, only for Hasbro to soon crush it with their forced Titans Return story line.

I love how that's basically Tarantulus' Transmetal body, without actually being Transmetal. If we don't get a toy, I riot.

I doubt we'll get one but it does look amazing. Maybe someday but with Hasbro in full blown gimmick mode again I don't see it happening. First combiners, now (head)masters, I'm really hoping the next one will be the return of Armada style minicons. We got some but I want them back in full force.

The original Transmetal Tarantulus still holds up enough to have him with Generations figures too in my opinion.

I'm loving Tarantulus. He was my first beast wars toy so there's a very special place in my heart for him but I am struggling with this series. It's good but it is not a wreckers story and I feel everyone is so out of character. I let Kup slide because his head is all messed up from what's happening to Prowl but Arcee and Impactor are just awful. 1. I hate Arcee's face. Said it before, nick you are a wonderful artist but female faces are not your strength. 2. She's just a b**** in this for no good reason. Impactor is just weird in this comic, I'm having a real hard time seeing Impactor and how he's acting. Really need a scene with him and Springer reconciling. They haven't done that and while Impactor did forgive Springer by the end of LSTOW he didn't forgive him to his face

Really not a sins of wreckers(yet) and more sins of prowl which, hey, it's prowl. His nickname is Prick to the fandom.

Oh, look, it's Tarantulas!

Oh, look, he's actually terrifying!

Comment by Munkky Jan 23, 2016

The design for Tarantulas is fantastic, I'd love a toy of it (probably won't happen, but one can dream...), and Mesothulas kind of reminds me of the TFCC Subscription service Tarantulas.

Forced?

Just because Hasbro is doing something else and not what you want doesn't mean it's forced.

And Hasbro has not crushed anything and thinking otherwise is ridiculous.

Noisemaze is misspelt "Noicemaze" in the recap :-P

:-P

That tarantulas would look very nice in toy form, yes indeed.

It would've been more interesting if they used the Fox kids "vok" deco for this interpretation of tarantulas.

Exactly. they're not being forced to do anything. its an option for IDW to participate in these lines. its shows that the comics once again matter and it allows IDW to show what they're doing to a wider audience that doesn't read comics. Thats why IDW joins in and its not damaging their books what so ever.

IDW did thew Beast Wars series(Gathering Ascension and the Source books) and for the past three years theyve been bringing in BW characters to their G1 universe.

I'm much happier with my TFSS 3.0 Tarantulus now that he can be appropriated as IDW Mesothulas.
