    ???

    No it doesn't. Cheetor's beast head fits into his chest cavity. Cheetor's beast head is removable purely for the sake of his alternate expressions.

    Which is exactly what’s being referred to in that comment- alternate beast mode expressions for Blackarachnia.

    Ah. That's what happens when you don't use quotes. His post followed mine about where the beast mode mass vanishes to, and it looks like he's saying it's removable. I can see where he could be talking about the previous conversation about beast mode expressions instead.

    But according to the "leaked" accessory list, she doesn't have any alternate beast expression parts.

    I remember seeing an ad that said autocorrect is like the new Freudian slip. Doesn’t exactly mean the same thing doesn’t it?
    It’s for sure one of the better backpacks of recent years.

    I'm gonna echo Split Lip on this count. What backpack?

    She's just got that tiny little shell piece, which she's supposed to have. Maybe slightly bigger than the animation model, but not significantly so.

    Yeah I didn't understand why that lower bit was protruding out but a member clarified that it connects her to the web, so that's really neat.

    Sorry folks, let me rephrase then to back kibble.

    Ah, that's what you were complaining about. Yeah, that bit flips out to access her stand port. Otherwise, it's tidy as can be.

    It\'s nice to see this included in the MP line. I\'m happy for fans of this line just wish the price point wasn\'t so substantial.

    There are cheaper preorders.

    It's probably the lighting but I thought the majority of her gold color would err more toward a yellow-gold, which is how I remember her from the show and still images online, but to be fair that's probably how Mainframe lit her in some scenes. Happy to see the dark green and purples are correct.

    May just wait on her because of how BW Megs turned out.

    BW Megatron turned out darn near perfect. If you want Blackarachnia for a good price, I wouldn't wait as pre-orders go live next week.

    He looks amazing, but mine had stress marks out of the box (where the back shell closes), and my brother's copy was broken in package (same place), so I'm worried about fragility.

    Even then I'm not sure I'm personally committed to a full season 1 cast at this point, so if I bail I can at least enjoy pics from others.

    That's fair. Sorry about the bad experiences with Megatron.
    I'm also not in it for a full cast as I skipped Dinobot (didn't like that the raptor legs were static), but Blackarachnia is my favorite BW character, so a day-one pre-order is a given.
    I'd also do the same for Silverbolt and Waspinator.

    The raptor legs aren't that static. You can still change his stance quite a bit. You just can't really get him into a proper running pose... but Dinobot never really did much of that in the show, if ever.

    Outside of "Code of Hero", I really wan't all that enamored with the character that much either. I'm more of a "I really have to like the character and figure" kind of collector any more, so I'm super picky about what I want to spend large sums of money on.

    I suppose I'll applaud your willpower in that regard. In my case, if I start with a set of characters, I'll damned well finish if that opportunity is presented. I really couldn't give a damn about Terrorsaur, Scorponok, or maybe even Tigatron so much, but I'm still putting my pre-orders in Day 1 to fill out that Beast Wars cast, if we get that deep into the roster.

    Do you think TT are holding off showing the beast-mode until Saturday when the general public gets in?

    That might be the case. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the plan.

    Did you have a bad figure? Most turned out fine.
