Another group of ladies, eh? Sound good. I just wish they found a different/better use for Black Widow's bra in Beast Mode...

Nightbird and Slipstream look fantastic, but I'm sad to say that BA is crap. I was hoping for a big smooth bulbous abdomen, claw hands, non-Animated robot legs, and somehow putting her spider legs on her robot arms. It's just not retooled enough for my liking to pass for BW BA. Still looks like an Animated design slightly more faithful to the source material

Nightbird will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine.
Slipstream looks cool but I wish she was a Voyager. Oh well, she looks good anyway.
I already have Animated Blackarachnia but that looks good enough that I might get her anyway and come up with a new identity for her. The palps are kinda unconvincing, but this IS a prototype. Also, there are spiders with bulbous palps like that, given their function in robot mode it makes sense- Blackarachnia DID have them in the show after all.

Nice! I wonder what are the chances of Hasbro carrying these three?
*sees BA's articulated pedipalp-boobs*

Yup, this won't be seeing a release outside of Japan me thinks... which means Takara had to settle. Which means an original Generations Blackarachnia will not be happening anytime soon.
Boo hiss Hasbro, boo hiss

If you had to pick which BW character do you think deserves a new mold?
I kinda think it's odd that we haven't yet seen Primal or Megatron.

They already did for the 10 year anniversary it's was those weird techno-organic ones that had cyber planet keys. Weird but still counts. Not to mention the original primal and Megatron are still the best and hold up. Are there spots of improvement? Yes but it's not a necessity.
I bet this will be a 3 pack not unlike the United three packs that have been happening like the seekers. 3 toys, $100-125 pricepoint

I'm sold on Slipstream. Here's hoping they get individual releases and don't sell out like the last trio of ladybots did.

the last trio of fembots were sold individually by Takara! No box set. "Unless you're talking about that sdcc set we just saw"

I'll happily take Slipstream and Blackarachnia. Need to see more of Nightbird before deciding.

Not quite accurate. They have "retooled" parts. Not necessarily lazy repaints.
