Hot, poisonous, and deadly!

Revealed at Wonderfest.

meh. After the massive disappointment Dinobot was, and the horrendous pricing for all new MP's, I think.....yeah, I think I'm done.

I'm just hoping one of the 3rd party companies starts doing Beast Wars stuff.

And the Wonder Festival Winter reveals keep coming! Hot on the heels of MP-45 Bumblebee 2.0's full color reveal at the Japanese toy event, we have news of what is sure to be a highly sought after figure: MP-46, Beast Wars Blackwidow, aka Blackarachnia! She looks to come with a spider web that doubles as a display stand, and although she's only shown as a grey resin prototype, she looks very faithful to her show model (pre-Transmetal). These images comes to us from @Chohenken and @brickonator, on Twitter.

So what do you think? Are you excited to pick this up when it's released? Glad the Masterpiece Beast Wars line is still going strong? Let us know your thoughts below, and keep your optics open to see all the news coming from Wonder Festival!

Update: We have some more pics courtesy of the Snakas Blog.

That's uhm... well.. that's... uhhh... very... anatomically correct. :-D

I'm sure that somehow it's going to cost us $300.

It's exactly how she looked in the show (thanks, Mainframe).

But, like, where is the rest of the spider go? Or maybe it's pure Takara witchcraft? :-?

There are panel lines on her thighs, I think they become part of her abdomen

Such a perfect piece. Blackarachnia is glorious, and almost no back kibble. That is insane.

Posted: **Sat Feb 09, 2019 10:56 pm**

There are going to be some...interesting photos taken using this figure after it comes out.

That's just Shadow Panther.

I just hope she doesn’t have electronics. Starting to wish Primal and Cheetor came with stands....

(A) She doesn't look as Small as she should be RE Show Accuracy

(B) Nipples, really? The gross oversexualisation of her design continues, I guess.

(C) To be honest, she was never a favourite of mine. Although I will get her to complete the set, this reveal makes me more excited for MP Tarantulas.

(D) That makes SIX Beast Wars MPs within 3 years (Eight, including redecos) :-D

Allow me to turn your attention to the pointy bits on the chest of her in-show model. It's always been like that.

I'm sure the pointy bits will be less noticeable once they cover them in gold chrome.

Think we'll get a new Rat Trap, or will he just be the T30 with some diecast? Also a bit intimidated how much an MP Rhinox is going to set us back.

that's a good point... how shiny will she be, versus textured?

Hopefully. The overall size of the figure bothers me though. She doesn't appear "Rattrap-size", as she should. Of course the perspective is off somewhat in the image, so time will tell.

Every MP figure to date has been a MP mold, I doubt Rattrap will be any different. As we discussed in the MP-41 thread, they are going to need some really impressive feats of engineering to make a genuinely show accurate Rattrap.

As for Rhinox, he, Tigatron and Inferno are the next biggest bots under Megatron, I wouldn't imagine they would reach Megatron Money, but shouldn't be too far off of Dinobot's price tag. Less without electronics, which none of those characters need or previously had.
