    Why the fuck do my notifications keep turning off? Anyway. So that altmode.

    Hmmm.


    Hmmmmmm.

    Yeah.


    Something’s not right. It must be. It can’t. There’s no way.

    I love how everyone is still saying it’s nice and looks good. I wonder what they’re gonna say when it’s actually displayed properly?

    Totally agree on the points about her size/mass being the biggest limitation guys. She's smaller than Cheetor, and I've gone in fully prepared that the spider mode is going to be more compromised than the other BW MPs. Now that I think about it more, it's more even more difficult to design a female bot (not in any way being a sexist), because there's less room of deviation allowed in body proportions from the cartoon model than a bulky 'bot like Dinobot (which proportionally has a much bulkier torso than the cartoon model). And I'm glad TT nailed her 'bot mode.

    The outside of the thighs looks to be able to open up to form part of the abdomen, so the more I look at it the more I think it's at least partly mistransformed.

    I don\'t know about you guys, but I think this is the best possible Beast Mode we could have possibly gotten out of this mold, given just how kibble free the robot mode was.

    Beast mode isn't bad considering the exposed parts. The general shape is there, and with how impressive the robot mode is, I think the beast mode is good enough.

    I think Transformers Element did a better job in spider mode. upload_2019-5-10_14-27-56.jpeg upload_2019-5-10_14-27-33.jpeg

    But damn I can't stop looking at her robot mode!

    I think the final WILL look better than that, as that's a non-ideal show display of a hand-painted resin/3d print proto.

    BUT... I don't think beast mode will look a LOT better than it does here, given the smallish nature of the toy, and TakTom presumably presuming their primary public would prioritize the robot mode.

    The Megatron in the back is mistransformed aswell. Legs arent straigtnend and the backplates arent tabbed together.

    Soooo, i just assume with a figure thats released some time now being mistransformed, the new girl has been too.

    Gonna wait for official pictures. I'm sure we won't get a perfect beast mode, however I do feel like the figure on display is a bit mistransformed. All BW MPs up until now have had exposed robot bits but everything did tab neatly into place.

    What we see here doesn't quite seem to do that. I definitely think the arms are able to tuck in more neatly under the thorax and head. Perhaps these can extend out forward a bit as well, creating a better proportioned spider body.

    I reckon we won't be able to get rid of the robot mode legs completely but I wouldn't be surprised if they can be folded up a bit neater.

    I wasn't really expecting much from the beast mode. The BW show pretty much did impossible transformations and Blackarachnia's was one of the most impossible ones so having a just passable spider mode is fine for me and this is exactly what it is.

    I wonder if the waist needs to turn somewhere in the transformation. That way the black thighs could fill up the front part of that spiders "bal"?
    So the gold parts would be more in the back. The curvature of the thighs would help shape the ball form looking at the front.

    I don't think the alt mode looks bad at all...looks like a spider to me. Plus, the alt mode could look like a wad of chewing gum for all I care, since mine is never coming out of bot mode.
