    Wanted to make her stand apart from the Minicon Tarantulas I made so...


    - Instead of using gundam model sprees for the legs, I made them entirely out of twist-ties making them 100% possable but also thinner than Tarantulas' legs.
    - Handsculpted chest out of clay that was glued on, every other option would have been too bulky to look good.
    - Carved out a fair bit of her robot legs, chopped the minicon port off her back, and shaved her lower torso to give her a sleeker frame.
    - The "Widow Hourglass" on her beastmode is actually the bottom of her gun filling in the gap between the legs.


    I considered actually chopping her feet a bit to make her shorter like in the show, but it would have made her proportions off so I left her as-is. This also ended up leading to the minicon Silverbolt I was finishing up at the time to get leg extensions so that he could still be taller than her.

    Talk about torpedo tits...

    Nah, I'm teasing. I mean, they ARE, but it's really hard to do proportions on something that small.

    Still, those mini-cons are pretty cool. What did you use for the bases?

    They're actually pretty huge in the show, which is what I based the build on. Her TM2 body might actually be LESS busty.


    Blackarachnia&Tarantulas are powercore chainclaw, Silverbolt is a Armada Terradive+Thunderwing, and TM Megatron was mostly a PrimeBH Rippersnapper
    All of them have had some drastic alterations in one place or another.
