    Tarantulas was starving for a new figure for so long he ate the entire deluxe budget for wave two.

    You’ve got that right. Some serious compromises showing in the budget for the other figures in this wave. Oh well, Tarantulus is the only one I need. I appreciate your sacrifice, Elita, KO, and Wildrider.

    My only two wishes here is that they also make a transmetal version of him and that the unpainted butt weapon is not necessary for alt mode integrity because it looks like ass

    In the words of Waspinator, "Tarantulas fat enough already".

    Or maybe they'd rather not waste plastic?

    (Nah, that's a flimsy excuse.)

    Really, at this point, I expect a third-party guy to pick up the slack.

    Wasn't planning on getting this. With many BW characters, including Tarantulas, the Transmetal version is my preferance due to the importance of the show. But this does look very good.

    I said it before and I'll say it again: Tarantulas is basically everything I wanted him to be and I need him ASAP. D:

    I'm really happy with the one we got, but it would have been fun to get toy/box-art Blackarachnia colors on this mold lol.

    Either way I'm very happy to get this one and hopeful we'll get some of the cool redeco potential like the orange version seen in early tv ads, or even the black and grey colors of the Fox Kids redeco of the Transmetal toy.

    Holy hell! I didn't know I wanted this until you said it but it has officially become the top of my wish list.

    He had the best faction-based insult of the entire series. I've lost interest in collecting G1 recently, but looking at more pics and reviews of this guy makes me happy. I so do hope thT the fuzors, Rampage, and Depth Charge are released.

    Studio Series ROTF Starscream has a spinning saw accessory.

    Bay fans keep winning.

    I think Wildrider is pretty Solid, and the jazz mold is really good, so it's good to see it again. Elita has a few things I'd change... So I think Elita took the hit.

    Actually Tarantulas is pretty simple, just well colored and painted.
