Heck, seeing as Nightbeat got released as "2P colours" Minerva in Japan and...hasn't really done much, it wouldn't be the greatest tragedy.

Well, skinny guys are indeed a thing, but I rather have Minerva be her own mold. As for Nightbeat, he could be mold mate with Siren.
Stiiiiiiiiiil, looking at my G1 Nightbeat and Siren side-by-side, Nightbeat is definitely skinnier and smaller than Siren.

On second thought, Minerva and Nightbeat could definitely be mold mates.
And why not having a R63 Nightbeat while we're at it?

An important detail is that she has the same size as Sideswipe but a bigger vehicle.She can't be strong with shoulders made of wheels,in general,no body parts should be made of wheels.I heard MP are fragile by the way,very unlikely.

I find the first Blackarachnia ugly because of her non-existant eyes.

5. Beast Machines Blackarachnia-might be the best Maximal toy from BM.

Of show characters, yes for sure. But that's because the Primal toy I love so much came out in RID so technically not from BM, letting Blackarachnia snatch that title with less competition.

And I like how you went with the FE Prime Arcee rather than the RID Prime Arcee. do you have both and simply preffer the FE one?

Pretty good list, but I have my own:

5: RiD Strongarm
4: RiD Windblade
3: MP Blackarachnia
2: Megaempress
1: Prime RiD Arcee

Why, you ask? I just really love Arcee’s design, and the team really delivered on the execution.

Not seeing much love for MP Road Rage. She's a great looking figure, best use of the mold IMO, and miles better than MP Arcee. A very under rated figure.

Is this primal toy Blast-Punch Primal? The one with the huge forearms? Admittedly I don't own him. Maybe I should amend that to BM Maximal toys I own.

And I own both Arcee's, yeah. And I prefer First-Edition Arcee overall.

Night Viper hasn't been mentioned because Night Viper is MALE.

Though, you're not the first to mistake him for a female. Eons ago in the early 2000s, I came across some old fanfic online comics and one of which featured Night Viper as a female.

Nevertheless, he is a he.

I still sort of want her. The elbows and fidgety torso put me off a bit but the car mode is just gorgeous (cue "Little Red Corvette" jokes) and the robot mode looks great for a fairly minimal retool.

I have with the reprolabels. A bit fiddly but still very good.
Plus as a MP, she's fairly cheap. Plus I don't think she have been KOed. I'd love to have the E-Hobby G1 version but it's very expensive.
