Transformers Collectors' Club Tarantulas In-Hand

Posted by shajaki Apr 3, 2015 at 2:13pm CDT 25,984 views
Hot off the heels of a recent batch of reveals, Weibo user Lost-Zzl brings us pics of another Transformers Collectors' Club exclusive figure - Tarantulas! He is based off the Reveal the Shield Wreck-Gar mold, and more specifically the E-hobby retool Scrapheap which has only been released stateside once before as the Shattered Glass Botcon Exclusive Scrap Iron. Tarantulas is sporting his original (pre-Transmetal) deco primarily purple with yellow/green accents. Keep scrolling to see the pics and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers news!

The bike looks nice, but in robot mode, it kinda just looks like a purple scrapheap, or the SG one without the black and less decals.
Pre cybertronian or not, there's allot more detail, and specifically texture, on season one tarantulas than most people think, here's a relatively accurate CG model

That looks much nicer than anticipated! Weird that there aren't pics of the Microns though.

Wow! Tarantulus looks amazing. He was the figure I was most critical of to start with, but now he might be my favorite.

Microns are a different mold. No connection with this one. Guessing all the little bonus 'lego' and micron guys are being tested another day/another run.

Just means the person who walked out of the factory with it was able to find both.

Honestly, I'm a little bummed that the visor is red instead of yellow. Maybe a little custom work is in order....

Tarantulas looks better and better with each reveal, seriously. Holy cow, this may become one of my favourite figures of the brand :grin:

I keep trying to tell myself that I don't need this, and that I am perfectly happy with the Silver Transmetal figure as a representative to the Tarantulas Character. I ouldn't sign up in time for the figure so I;m having to go second market, too expensive...

I'm not winning this argument.

Hey, Vok Tarantulas is hands down the best version of that character, so you're not losing too bad ;)

After recently acquiring a couple zombie Tarantulas', I'm inclined to agree. For something that was completely pointless and easily ignorable when released, it's really a striking figure.

Hey everyone! Look what I found! The new TFCC Lio Convoy next to Robot Masters Lio Convoy :D
