We've already got something like that.
TM2 Mega Blackarachnia turns into a massive spider. Sure, she no longer looks like a real spider, but I suppose BM Blackarachnia in the cartoon only looks real in the dark. Still, the TM2 version still holds up really well compared to the cartoon and doesn't suffer from obtrusive gimmicks like some did. I doubt a BW MP regular version would be any bigger.

Yeah, BW Blackarachnia wouldn't be that big. I'd still buy her though because she's my favourite character, and also giant bugs look better next to vehicles than giant gorillas.
However, a Beast MACHINES Blackarachnia MP would be
colossal.
She was the biggest Maximal in the show, with her spider mode's leg span being able to contain all the other "starting" Maximals within it. Had the Beast Machines toyline not been given such bizarre scaling, she would have been the ideal candidate for the Supreme pricepoint (that oddly went to Cheetor). Sure she isn't particularly bulky, but her actual size due to those enormous multi-jointed legs and fairly voluptuous spider body (never thought I'd be calling a spider voluptuous) would mean that she'd have a hell of a shelf footprint.
Now it's unlikely to happen because A: BM wouldn't sell very well (especially given the cost of manufacture), B: she'd be nigh-on impossible to engineer to be even remotely show accurate in both modes, and C: Even if Takara made a transformable BM Blackarachnia that didn't self-destruct on contact due to all the micro hinges, she'd be impossible to stand up in robot mode unless they gave her a display stand.
I just want my Supreme-sized spider to frighten guests with though, I'll be honest.
