New Galleries: Club Subscription Service 3.0 Tarantulas with Arachnoids

Posted by LOST Cybertronian Sep 8, 2015 at 4:00pm CDT 27,801 views
We welcome you to another addition to the galleries of Seibertron. Today we take a look at the 4th figure to ship in the Transformers Collectors' Club subscription service 3.0 (you can also check out the gallery posted earlier of Serpent O.R.). Tarantulas is shown here in his pre-Beast Wars appearance along side a couple Arachnoids.

Tarantulas is a repaint of Transformers United Scrapheap while the Arachnoids are repaints of Arms Micron Ida which originally came with another spider-bot Arms Micron Airachid.

The full galleries are just a click away below.

The right foot's mistransformed. It needs to be rotated so the 2 "toes" are at the front.

Too bad the Predacon symbol wasn't smaller and upside down. Otherwise, I like mine.

It's a pretty cool trick having Tarantulas' little drones double as his claws.

He also pulls off the whole vehicle mode thing better than the other BW guys...

What on Earth is going on with Bitstream's Bio Card? The bars say one value while the numbers say another!

This mold is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time)

Give us Redwing and another 20 decos and I will buy them all.

The classic's starscream mold was fine for it's time. The engineering is dated. The molds had to been tweaked to prevent it from being degraded from overuse. The only reason it's still "good" is because it's the only decent scaled F-15 g1 style seeker. It's endearing by default. For Christ sake he has energon hips.

We just recorded the next podcast and this is pretty much what I said about it. Let's let it go out with G2 Starscream to it's honorable resting place in Valhalla or whatever since they seem to insist on not making a new production mold from the master (or they used the master as the production one in which case it's totally boned.)

I only have the classics skywarp, and while I like it quite a bit, I would prefer a more modernized/slightly stylized version of it.

I want one last version of this mold so we round out on an even number and I get the one that I've wanted the most ... how about Takara Transformers Legends Sunstorm done right with white forearms and whatever other goodies Takara wants to do to make it slavish to the G1 toy or to the Masterpiece figure. I've waited almost 10 years for a proper Sunstorm and we still don't have one yet! I'm contemplating buying an extra Nacelle and an extra BotCon Sunstorm so that I can swap the limbs at least, but then the missiles won't be the right color and nor will the launchers.

I think when the last classics seeker comes out, people should take a crappy ko version (or the most valuable version if you want to be a dick) spray paint it silver and give a viking funeral.

I still want Red Wing. Things like G2 Sandstorm would be great too.

I could do without Red Wing altogether, but G2 Sandstorm would be interesting. What I'd really like to see is Fun Pub or e-Hobby or someone do G1/G2 versions of Nacelle and G2 Sandstorm to legitimize them more. It's OK to get modern updates of old concepts, but I'd still like to get my hands on the original version that was never released. An homage of something that was never released is a bit of a stretch to me.

Wonder how long until a Skittles meme with all the Seekers will surface, they come in pretty much every color of rainbow now!

My guess is that since since his bio states he's a super hacker the numbers are what is skills are in cyberspace while the bar represent what his skills are in the real world. That is my guess.

More likely it's a mistake.

Now if only the Masterpiece Starscream mold can be repainted into these characters. (Or I might customize instead, there's always that option.) >:oP

I wasn't impressed when I first saw images of Tarantulus, but this gallery has really changed my mind. Looks awesome

We seriously need a decent Voyager class Seeker mold. We've had every single colour under the rainbow for the dated as hell, too small Classics figure, quite a few variations on the MP figure, which is good but too big for a Classics collection, and now we've got 3 Leader class Seekers...which are practically the same size as the MP figure.

Goddamnit Hasbro. Just give us decent Voyager class seekers already. And no, those craptacular Cyber Series figures don't count.
