    Ooookay.....I think I made it clear the wait isn't a problem for me. I know how time works....but yeah some more images would ease the wait I guess.

    As much as I like Blackarachina I see her more as a stepping stone towards the rest of the season 1 cast.

    I cannot wait for BA, one of the very best character to comes from BW. Between 44, 46, Reissue of 13. Its gonna be an exciting fall/winter. Each photo shoot she gets cleaner looking. Cannot wait for the next update. Hopefully they reveal another BW character soon. Keep it up TT.

    So I'm genuinely surprised how little hype there seems to be for this. No one posted in here in over a month? Primal, Cheetor, Dinobot and Megatron all had hundreds of pages by this point.

    I'm really excited about this. Blackarachnia is definitely higher on my list of characters than say Cheetor was. Probably a close tie with Megatron, honestly. Now that I go back and look at the spider-mode more, I actually think it looks pretty good. You have to make sure you're looking at properly transformed images, of course, but when properly transformed she's a perfectly decent spider. Not perfect, but definitely solid. 6/10. Robot mode is perfect though, so it's hard to fault it too much.

    I think BA got pushed aside by MP-44 and the Unicron crowdfund. Understandable, but I am also more hyped for her than either of those.
    I keep checking my pre-orders and looking forward to November.

    MP 44 looks great, but.. I have Prime 2.0 and it is, in my opinion, serviceable. That makes it much harder to justify the money and the hype for a new version. Blackarachnia has never had a figure that has been anywhere near accurate to her. The legends version is far too blocky to work, for me.

    This one is Blackarachnia unquestionably. She looks fantastic and I can't wait for her to join the other figures on my BW shelf.

    Honestly, I’d almost forgotten this is coming. I’m also pretty psyched to get her up on that web. November!

    It does seem that BA kind of got sidelined from these other higher profile releases. I am super excited for this figure though. It looks amazing and was a great character to begin with.

    I had to be a bit picky due to the price point, but the more Beast Wars they make, the more I am kicking myself for skipping Megatron.

    Oh yeah, Megatron is such a great figure. The more BW figures I get, the more each of them is worth. They look SO good together.

    Megatron is immense. I’m not a fan of some of the BW MPs because of the complexity of the transformations, but Op and Megs are both sensational.

    I don't find them that bad, generally. Getting Cheetor's arms folded up properly for beast mode is a bit tedious, and getting Megatron's panels lined up for beast mode can be as well, but other than that, I find the transformations not too bad overall. I know people have had trouble with Dinobots, but I haven't had much issue personally.

    With all the great releases lately like MP-44, Siege Omega, & MP-10G, etc. I almost forgot about my favorite femme fatale Blackarachnia.

    I made the mistake of getting Cheetor and Dinobot. That got me hooked, but I was able to skip Optimus and Megatron for now. We will see if that changes in the future. BA was a must have, plus the price point was better than on Megatron.

    I skipped Dinobot and kind of regret it now.
    Oh well.

    Just checked and the dollar gained a bit, so my two BA's will be $215 shipped.
    Yay!

    Of the already released characters in their present forms, who has Blackarachnia had the most interaction with? Probably Megatron, right? I don't think her and Dinobot sparred... ever? I know Cheetor and Blackarchnia had a few fights in season 1. Optimus and Blackarachnia... nothing major comes to mind.

    It really makes me want a Tarrantulus or a Silverbolt figure.

    Silverbolt as a MP would be absolutely amazing, and look so perfect with Blackarachnia.
    I doubt one will be made, but one can dream.

    Why? I could see it happening. Season 1 characters are a decetly small pool. With Blackarachnia, over a third of the characters are already done. And that's within 3 years. Keeping pace, in 6 years we can be done Season 1. Perhaps they may go to Beast Wars II before Season 2, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just did Season 2.
