    IT's just me, but this picture looks like her head is on backwards. Maybe it's because her hip is out.

    I should have clarified. A ritual for you*. I absolutely adore beast wars as well and understand the excitement that you get from introducing people to the shows and the franchise. This was the series that captured my attention as a child, so it was extremely fascinating to have had stumbled upon this part of the forums 3 years ago when primal was announced (I joined in 2014(?) but only started using it when mp primal was announced.) and discuss with people who are as passionate about bw (and transformers in general) as I am.

    Nah, it's pretty good given the scale it has to work with. Of course they could have made the beast mode better by compromising the bot mode but they know a majority of people just leave it in bot mode. Even if it had a perfect beast mode I don't think most people would care after they inevitably put it on the shelf on bot mode and never touch it for months.

    I do believe this is gonna be my second MP figure. Personally I think this is the best spider mode we've ever gotten. All others are either robotic spiders, or have mediocre bot modes and aren't even the right kind of spider. Also let's not forget that when they try too hard to master both modes we get stuff like MP-36 who basically transforms like AoE Galvatron.

    It certainly could have made the alt mode better. But Takara was in no way going to sacrifice having a perfect screen accurate fembot robot mode. Really I think it's amazing the beast mode looks even as good as it does.

    I'm over the moon about how she turned out. The spider mode is more than passable for me given the accuracy of the robot mode and her size, let alone having a green-eyed head and the goggles! Just waiting on AJ.

    What a beautiful girl... I mean, toy! And look at the range on her kicks!

    Honestly, don't think her spider mode is bad at all. Her legs and face are spot on, and I don't think the robot kibble on her abdomen ruins it. It still has a nice, round silhouette, and instead of having an all-black abdomen, she has a spider-abdomen with fancy golden embellishments!

    I wish they did that with MP-43. I couldn't buy it because I'm Tyrannosaurusphobic.

    Ooh, she looks nice. Considering the beast modes have consistently been the mode that has been sacrificed for an accurate robot mode in the Beast Wars Masterpiece figures, I can forgive the less-than-stellar spider mode. Robot mode's articulation is fantastic, although when you've got proportions like that to work with, it'd be pretty embarrassing if that weren't the case.

    That pose could also reference this scene in Possesion.

    From the same ep I grabbed this screen shot cause it shows both the missiles. You could get the look of the plain missile just by having the anchor piece detach the from the rest of it. The anchor looks pretty solid in the pics so far though.

    I think the important of stock photography poses like this are really lost on a lot of fans. THIS TOY CAN CROSS IT’S LEGS! Does any one else realize how special this is? This is the first toy in the line that can do it. This means the designers really are taking articulation into high regard with each release. Blackarachnia has always been a sexualized character. Her femininity, her slinking around and sauntering, and fluid movements. She sat with her legs crossed like that multiple times in the show, and I applaud the designers for doing this. It truly does set this toy up to be, once again, the best BW release yet. TT really are killing it with these BW characters.

    I was searching Amiami the past 2 days. So of course they put her up on the day I didn't check. How typical. :rolleyes: 

    Anyways, I got mine ordered!
