    Looks cool, but completely uninteresting to me (thank god).
    Hope PE can do something I want again though. they were my favorite company of 2011.

    Freaking awsome, and it was about time we seen/heard something new about this.

    It looks better than I had imagined. Obviously, I'm in.

    switch the wheels for jets; it would be a perfect stand-in for Airachnid.

    And THIS is how you do a female robot with spider overtones and a fully mechanical alt mode.

    This is what Airachnid should have been.

    This... makes my wallet hate me. But it will be mine.

    There are some neat things going on with this, and the spider-drone is a nice touch. That being said, overall this figure doesn't do much for me.

    what is the inspiration for this? Beast Wars character? I never followed BW, so forgive the noobness of the question. It looks cool regardless. Has a mospeada vibe to it

    Really like this more than I thought I would, but I can't justify a $100 repaint of a mold I already have, especially if I plan on getting Menasor. :(

    BW character, but it looks like the deco's more inspired by the TFA version of the character.

    Oh dear god that looks amazing. Im in the works of turning the beast wars characters into their cybertronian selves before that series and this is the perfect black arachnia , just a little gold paint touch ups and its done.

    Looks great except for the kissy lips. Although that may be a trick of the light or something. In most of the pics that show her face, it looks like she's got huge "O" shaped lips like a model who got too many collagen injections. But in one of them, they look normal.

    Also, I hope they release an alternate version at the same time like they did with their original Arcee figure. I'd rather get a BW gold and black version than an Animated black and purple version.

    Looks great, but the timing of this puts this at the bottom of the priorities list for me as well. Damn shame too.

    Naw, I wasn't talking about delaying your purchase. Rather, are you prepared to get a version of every G1 and Victory Saber combiner at $500/pop?


    When is the release date for Arachnid?
