Blackarachnia, I give full credit for the remolding, it's gorgeous looking, what they've done. BUT, I hate that mold. Nightbird is an easy pass, never liked her design, and since she was only in one episode and had no character development, I'm going to pass. However, Slipstream from Windblade, a mold I love, looks AMAZING. A definite pick up.

Animated Blackarachnia's chest is shaped all wrong in regards to resembling Beast Wars Blackarachnia:



This isn't about adding sex appeal, it's about maintaining artistic integrity to the character's appearance.

well. looks like Ill be getting blackarachnia after all.
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy

Re: Takara Tomy Transformers Legends Thread
My only complaint is Slipstream's smile. It looks . . . kinda weird. I'm still all in, but hopefully it looks better in person.

I agree the decos look phenomenal, even on Nightbird Shadow. But I'll be eying just Slipstream and Black Widow for now.
You dont mind the mold for Slipstream?
I've quite honestly NEVER had a problem with it. Love her to death, and I want Slipstream. It just takes steady hands to pose her, and that you don't bump whatever it is shes standing on. If yours has issues with the heels, just tighten them up. It's a great mold, try it out.
I am not a G1 fan, please treat my opinions as such.

I need that Slipstream awfully bad. Blackarachnia is starting to warm up to me.
I need some convincing on Nightbird. Not that she's bad: Arcee is fantastic. It's just that Nightbird is one of those characters that I don't give a crap about.

You can have her as an elite style decepticon soldeir. The decepticon equivalent of an autotrooper. I mean I know those are called vehicons, but Steve's in a league of his own.

To have done otherwise would have been a disservice to the character's appearance.
I think a simple paint job would have sufficed. No need for the enlargement.
So you want her to have painted man boobs instead ?
