    Takara is releasing deluxe figures LG15 Night Bird Shadow based on the Arcee mold, LG16 Slipstream based on the Windblade mold, and LG17 Blackarachnia (not sure if she's a new mold).

    The figures will be released on 10/24/2015 and retail for 3100 yen.

    Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing these remolds/repaints.

    I hope Blackarachnia is a new mold but I have feeling it may just be the Chromia mold.

    So, is this dude reliable? I assume so, since this has been front paged without even a mention of the word rumor. I hope he is, because I've been wanted to see Windblade retooled into Slipstream.

    I would be highly disappointed if it's just a Chromia repaint. I'm getting very tired of the Prime Arcee mold...

    Sadly all clues point to Blackarachnia being a Chromia repaint/remold. And if that's the case I'll pass, BW Transformers without beast modes are stupid.

    Not interested in this Nightbird character either, and Slipstream... well it depends on the figure, but I'm not sure if I want another copy of the Windblade-mold.

    Blackarachnia? :eek: 

    I hope to Primus this isn't some repaint of a current fembot. I would love to see a proper pre transmetal 2 Beast Wars Blackarachnia finally happen.

    Again, Takara is absolutely KILLING Hasblo with their stellar releases. Count me in to getting these! Screw the uber expensive combiner Wars Fembot SDCC repaints.

    300JPY price hike?


    What's with people demanding absolute proof? If someone was going to make something up out of mischief, wouldn't they post something a bit more sensational than a few repaints, and something more definite than a might be repaint/might not?


    Release date is months off, and that's the most likely reason why we don't have anything confirmed yet.


    Lets wait 'til we've seen them, eh?

    I'm hoping for the Blackarachnia to be a new mold given the new molds we got for Rattrap and Rhinox for the 30th anniversary. 2016 is the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars so maybe we'll see a Generations subset of Beast figures next year.
