Thanks to our own fellow Seibertronian ZeroWolf and RacerCheetor we've located some new images of MP Black Arachnia in various poses in her robot mode. These are thanks to TakaraTomy on Twitter.

It appears a wise decision to focus on her robot mode as there has been quite a bit of hubbub about her beast mode. While her beast mode may be lacking in some respects, it's hard to deny that Masterpiece engineering, style, and detail have struck a home run with this anthropomorphized arachnid in her robot mode.

These also give us a great perspective on how she stacks up to the leaders of both the deplorable Predacons and the mighty Maximals. Check 'em out and let us know what you think in the forums. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!


From TakaraTomy:
"We are accepting reservations for Beast Wars's "Black Widow", where Ryoka Inoki was in charge of the voice. We had Convoy and Destron cooperate to convey a sense of size (´-` )"
Link to TakaraTomy Mall for preorders: TakaraTomy Mall.

The first two images are from TakaraTomy, the additional images are from our fellow Seibertronian Racer Cheetor.

Admittedly, I could have been more polite about pointing it out, as it was probably an honest mistake by Nemesis Maximo.

On the other hand, if I had been more polite, I might have missed out on the sense of validation that inevitably comes with triggering thin-skinned right-wingers. >:oP

Nobody's triggered, just fed up with your constant negativity and obsessive need to "call out" everyone you see doing something you don't like.

That exchange wasn't about the pictures, it was about the language used in the comments on the pictures.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs#J

I remember a very long time ago, when I was much younger and, well, stupid, arguing that "Jap" is not offensive because it's just truncating the word "Japanese". On this very board. That was insensitive towards the history of the word and the personal experiences of some board members, and it was wrong. Fortunately, another user rightly (if not politely) corrected me back then, and the staff seemed to be in agreement that that sort of language was not permitted. I could have reported NM's post to the staff, but as he was probably simply unaware of the term's historical usage, it didn't seem appropriate to involve staff and get him stuck with an official warning. I could have written a lengthy treatise about why ethnic slurs shouldn't be used, and why "Jap" is a slur, but that sort of thing usually invites a "TLDR" and/or people getting upset about me being a preachy academic. A snarky comment seemed sufficient to get the point across, and it seemed like a proportional response to the situation.

So... about that spider bot? I'm excited for her... but all these Masterpieces rolling out sure are making retail collecting a pain in the arse. Kind of glad i'm not also into Marvel Legends or really deep into Star Wars Black....

Do wonder if they'll do Rat Trap, and how much he'll be similar to his T30 version.

The spider alt mode for the upcoming Masterpeice MP-46 Blackwidow (aka Beast Wars Blackarachnia) has received a lot of flack from fans but we never get a good look at it in the images, which constantly give us more of the bot mode, and for good reason as it looks spectacular. However, some additional images from the Malaysia Asia Comic Con give us our best look yet at the spider beast mode, especially the back, so you can see how clean it can be when transformed properly. We also get a good view of the back of Blackarachnia.

Here are all the images we have from the event so far. Some coming from Andrew, who sent them in, and others found on the Planet Iacon Facebook page.

I'd have to see comparison pics to when it was mistransformed, but it still looks pretty rough to me in spider mode. The robot mode look insanely amazing, but at the cost of making the beast mode look pretty bad.

In this picture, it looks like her spider mode could potentially be a Titan Class Headmaster. I can't unsee it!

For that kick-ass bot mode, the spider mode is not so bad.

One of the mode must make some compromises to accommodate the other and it's normal that here, it's the bot who won.

I think the fact that the robot mode is 150% perfect and the spider mode is 80% perfect is pretty damn perfect. I mean come on, how can anyone conceivably believe there’s a better way to achieve an actual inflation in plastic form? The fact that the spider mode is as good as it is is nothing short of amazing. I think the naysayers have absolutely unreasonable expectations of a physical object. They’re probably the same people that go out to eat on a Saturday Night with a party of 14 and get upset because they have to wait for a table big enough when they didn’t call ahead to make a reservation.

It was the best word to come to mind at the moment, but yeah. There's some serious reality-warping with Blackarachnia in the show.

I see a lot of comments about mass shifting or reality warping... and that is exactly why I tend to dislike the toys that make an extreme effort to be "show accurate". Something gets sacrificed somewhere to pull it off, from fake wheels and pretend windshields to overly complicated (and often therefore fragile) transformations, we usually end up with a less than perfect toy. Often one mode looks great, while the other is less so.

In my humble opinion, it is better to just focus on making a good toy with good articulation and a good transformation, and let the show focus on being the show.

I think a combination of both of your ideas. These are toys and ultimately going to be purchased by kids as well so the 'toy' component or 'fun' factor should be the primary concern above accuracy. And if the cartoons are still to be used as commercials for the toys then the developers of the toon should work hand in hand with the toy developers so accuracy is a given.

That being said, this Blackarachnia (Blackwidow) looks pretty amazeballs all things considered.

Here are pics of it not being properly put together in beast mode. You can see the back of the spider just panels hanging loose.

Agreed.

I'll say again what I said when the first pictures dropped. If they had simply bothered to conceal the gold of her bot mode legs in Beast Mode, she would have looked fantastic in both modes. As it stands, they clearly concentrated their efforts on the Bot Mode, whereas the other Beast War MP's to date seem to have had an equal level of focus.

It is concerning for the other Predacons. Aside from Terrorsaur, they are all bugs of various types. All traditionally didn't follow the overall shellformer aesthetic of the Maximals. This should be even more the case in Masterpiece. I dread to think how Waspinator or Inferno could look at this point.

Maybe we'll see another Maximal next! Tigertron would be a likely candidate given the slightly larger but similar transformation as Cheetor.

I think we can pretty much guarantee that no Transmetals who were not in the show will be getting Masterpieces.

Indeed. As much as I'd love to see TM Rhinox or Cybershark (in any form) in the MP line, it is extremely doubtful.

Indeed. As much as I'd love to see TM Rhinox or Cybershark (in any form) in the MP line, it is extremely doubtful.
Gelshark, however, would have a decent chance, but probably not for a good number of years (or via a fan-determined event like the poll that brought about Star Saber).

While never called a Transmetal, Gelshark and the other four Destrongers were initially marketed as a breed of Predacon called "Metal Beasts". ;)

You wont see that within the next decade.

Some in-hand pics of her robot mode, also featuring the green eyes she had when she was briefly possessed by Tarantulas in the Season 2 episodes "Aftermath" and "Coming of the Fuzors".

MP-46 Blackwidow (aka Beast Wars Blackarachnia) is only a two weeks away from being released and we are now getting some in hand pics. We only have the robot mode for now and it is slightly mistransformed. The belly, for instance, should not have the spider eyes on it. We will share a better image below to show you what it looks like. Also, since people had asked, we take the opportunity to show the difference between initial images of the spider mode and a recent image which shows it much cleaner and more put together. These images come from Vector Sigma on Facebook.
