Review:

I can sum-up this figure in one word; Awsome! This extreamly hard to find lady is one awsome figure with great detail and plenty of action features. Blackarachnia's beast mode is a huge Transmetal 2 spider that looks very similar to her T.V. show counter-part in many ways including the grappling line. This spider is no longer a re-paint of good old Tarantulus. Come to think of it, Blackarachnia is way bigger then Transmetal Tarantulus now. Like Transmetal Airrazor,the robot mode on this Blackarachnia is a lot more female looking including facial features, the removeable breast plate, the shapely figure and even high heels. She also has a built in round-house kick action feature that works extreamly well. Only minus about this figure is that she is extreamly back heavey making it difficult, ut not imposible to stand her. Other then that, Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia was worth the wait.

Profile: (taken from technical specification card)

Stealing Megatron's mysterious new technology, Blackarachnia - black rose of the Maximals - succeeded in altering her Maximal protoform into a powerful Transmetal 2 structure. Despite her Predacon pride, she detests Megatron and fights for now with the Maximals. The defenitive femme fatale, she despieses life's pleasantries. Fires strong venom pincers that operate as paralyzing claw, retrieving enemies from up to 100 meters. Electro disruptor housed in rear segment casts illusions altering her physical placement and appearance for up to 5 minutes. In robot mode she packs a deadly roundhouse kick. Generally concerned with her own self-preservation, Blackarachnia will at times astound with heroism, but cannot be fully trusted.
