    Been telling myself I don't need another spider transformer since I already have Blackarachnia, but this is a definite purchase for me. Can't wait!

    Bot mode is cool and I would really like Tarantulas, but do I hate and fear spiders...

    So glad my favorite BW bloke is getting some love after all these years. He looks gorgeously grotesque in both modes, I can even forgive the hollowed spider legs because they look like molted shedded bits.
    Also I can't be the only one who sees the similarity:

    Such a beautifully creepy looking critter in both modes! Wish the head articulation was as good as that of Blackarachnia, but the butterfly shoulder joints are a nice surprise. It also wams the heart to see ol' Spindlylegs has all the ankle articulation you could ask for.

    I'd say this is a great occasion for Tarantulads and Tarantulasses all around the world to celebrate, I'll bring the music!

    Looks great, but makes me wish that some of the Kingdom figures had been done better (namely Rhinox, probably Cheetor too for his gun).

    After Inferno comes out I'm pretty much satisfied with being done collecting Beast Wars figures

    I really want this but I like and dislike his new tarantula legs. I like how it looks more like real Tarantula legs but I dont like the angle and how they point upwards in bot mode.

    You know what\'s killing me?

    I managed to secure a Terrorsaur, and I have Waspinator due to love. I think I\'m going to go in on the generations BW predacons. BA is easy to find, Scorpononk is around, Megatron can be acquired. Inferno coming. 

    But....

    I really am down on the Kingdom Maximals. Primal and Dinobot are great. Airazor is terrific. Tigatron looks awesome, tho voyager prices in canada are now awful. Cheetor sucks, spindly, weird deco, stupid weapon. Rattrap is fine but tiny (IDGAF about scale he looks silly). Rhinox is a hot mess. 

    So what, I get all the gen Predacons and... maybe that\'s it lol. I\'ll probably get Dinobot and Tigatron still. But I\'d need T30 Rhinox and Rattrap. And frankly, I\'d probably use OG Cheetor! Cause I\'ve always liked that toy and it\'s fairly close to the show.

    Stupid lousy no gut-gun.

    I really hope they use this mold with the alternate toy head for Horrocon Blackarachnia. No reason this version needs to have tits, right?

    Damn, I already have both Blackarachnia’s, but I love spiders and he’d look great with his T.F.C.C. figure. I might grab him on a whim.
