This makes me want the Insecticons in one of the movies.

That, and a Beast Wars live action movie.

Doesn't that kinda ruin the entire point of a disguise if it's a giant fucking spider in a city?? It worked in BWs well because there weren't any humans(at least not any smart ones).

You're so off-balance here, I'm not even sure where you started going wrong.

Dude, it's a giant mechanical spider. It's awesome. That's all there is to it.

But what about Animated? And all the other continuities besides Beast Wars that featured giant beast modes?

Well guess that logic didnt apply to scorpinock, mabey they dont quite have to blend in.

Good point. Though Skorpinok is a Decepticon and thus, might not care about hiding as much. Plus he was pretty stupid and not care to be in disguise(at least IIRC according to his and Blackouts Bio), even though he did pretty well at crawling through the sand unnoticed.

But Blackarachnia has always been a Autobot deep down so why would she be running around as a gigantic spider that sticks out(especially in a city)?? The only time we have ever seen her running around in her spider alt in modern times is during Animated. I just can't see it working the same way as it did in that medium.

The problem with Skorpinok is it seems like no one was ever really clear on what his deal was. From being part of Blackouts copter mode, to emulating battlefield debris. The impression I got of him was he was hiding as part of Blackout and deployed to kill the witnesses. There was not supposed to be any survivors so it didn’t matter if he had an alt-mode to hide as.

Exactly why I'm thinking they gave him that alt mode. He was merely an assassin bot. I doubt they would have given him a skorpion form if he had a larger part in the story.
