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.

(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)

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

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.

Price-wise, I'll be anticipating around the same as Cheetor, ideally less, given she should be smaller.

I don't think the size difference will be significant enough to be cheaper.
In fact, I bet she will be DOUBLE Cheetor's price if the trend continue.

As I said, it should but most likely not. The Cheetor price tag will likely be the catch-all range for the medium to small bots of Beast Wars.
Well there is no precedent for that trend within the Beast Wars MP line, so I doubt that.

Did you forget the insanely high prices for Dinobot and Megatron? This figure will be at least $120.

Scale is important to note within that context though. Dinobot is virtually twice the size of Cheetor. Megatron looms over all in Season One. They were [not]* random price hikes plucked out of the ether (Not exactly Overpriced Prime), nor indicative of the future pricing of the SIGNIFICANTLY smaller figures that remain within the Season One cast.
Cheetor/Shadow Panther were £70, a logical assessment would include Blackarachnia around that sum.

Because of some pointless chunks of plastic
I never even bothered to get all of that mess out of Dinobot's box. He stands on his own two feet, holding his Sword and... "shield". If they overvalue superfluous extras like stands, maybe the MP Grimlock redeco could be a lot cheaper than Dinobot. If they rip out the worthless electronics and toss out the stand too.

Which will really differentiate between Blackarachnia and Tarantulas, given he has a bulkier torso. So they won't need to hide as much of the thorax.

Yup. But I'm guessing Tarantulas is still several years off.
We still need to go through Waspinator, Scorponok, maybe Inferno, before they get to Tarantulas. Not to mention Rhinox, Rattrap and Tigatron and Airazor to finish off the main season one Maximals.

Again, by popularity, Tarantulas or Waspinator are most likely to be the next MP Predacon. Then probably Terrorsaur, Inferno and Scorponok.
Maximals will most likely be Rattrap, Tigatron or Rhinox and Airazor.

That's why I'd also think Tarantulas and Tigatron aren't too far off. Tarantulas would be a mold sharing redeco and Tigatron would be an upscaled Cheetor, sharing some basic level engineering in Bot Mode.
I'm hoping The Spiders and Cats will look more individual in Beast Mode in this lime.

Why couldn't this be a thing three years ago?
This would've been bought and signed by Venus at Botcon 2016, but alas the engineering probably wouldn't be this good.
I kinda wish there were more pictures, but I think I'm gonna wait to get her when there's a Silverbolt to go with her. The relationship is too ingrained in my psyche for me to have them separated, and well I'm still trying to figure out a budget that will allow me to get the big purple dinosaur. Yeesss...

The problem with that? So far, Takara have said the Beast Wars MP line goes no further than Season One. So no Silverbolt...

Dinobot and Megatron are both smaller than MP Ultra Magnus, yet Dinobot was twice that price, Megatron even more. There is no justification for it other than Takara has figured out that most of us nerds do not make smart financial decisions when it comes to our plastic crack.
You all enjoy this, I hope, but as it stands now, Hound will be my final official MP purchase.

They were [not]* random price hikes plucked out of the ether (Not exactly Overpriced Prime), nor indicative of the future pricing of the SIGNIFICANTLY smaller figures that remain within the Season One cast.
Cheetor/Shadow Panther were £70, a logical assessment would include Blackarachnia around that sum.

The comparison is apples and oranges though. Ultra Magnus was released in 2014, Dinobot was in 2018. Since that time, G1 prices are all over the place with no justification. Beast Wars MP line has had a consistency to its pricing, based in scale.
The only thing Takara has "figured out" is how to fleece the Geewun fanbase to an outrageous level. Yet they, in general, seem to find it acceptable.

Hey man, if that excuse works for you, and makes you happy with your purchases, good for you. It doesnt work for me, and I will no longer throw money in the trash.
Unless demand seems to be going nuts. I will admit, I was able to resell Dinobot on eBay for a handsome profit.

Just a drop in the ocean for all the "3P" buyers out there, I'm sure.
Honestly, I'm taken aback with the choice of Blackarachnia, not going with Tarantulas first. I guess it's practice with the more difficult one first?

I don't need excuses. In the UK we're used to being charged more than something is actually worth. I've said before I will support this line because I enjoy Beast Wars more than anything else within Transformers.
I will pay £230 for Megatron because I know he is the ceiling price of this line and a one-off hike. But I have still limits. I wouldn't exceed that sum however. Be that 3p or Overpriced Prime, because no toy is worth that. To think so, is a false economy.
