The spider alt mode for the upcoming Masterpeice MP-46 Blackwidow (aka Beast Wars Blackarachnia) has received a lot of flack from fans but we never get a good look at it in the images, which constantly give us more of the bot mode, and for good reason as it looks spectacular. However, some additional images from the Malaysia Asia Comic Con give us our best look yet at the spider beast mode, especially the back, so you can see how clean it can be when transformed properly. We also get a good view of the back of Blackarachnia.

Here are all the images we have from the event so far. Some coming from Andrew, who sent them in, and others found on the Planet Iacon Facebook page.

I'd have to see comparison pics to when it was mistransformed, but it still looks pretty rough to me in spider mode. The robot mode look insanely amazing, but at the cost of making the beast mode look pretty bad.

In this picture, it looks like her spider mode could potentially be a Titan Class Headmaster. I can't unsee it!

For that kick-ass bot mode, the spider mode is not so bad.

Image
One of the mode must make some compromises to accommodate the other and it's normal that here, it's the bot who won.

She'll be going into bot mode rather quickly when I get her. And honestly, considering the cheats BW did? Spider-mode looks about as good as we'll get.

I think the fact that the robot mode is 150% perfect and the spider mode is 80% perfect is pretty damn perfect. I mean come on, how can anyone conceivably believe there’s a better way to achieve an actual inflation in plastic form? The fact that the spider mode is as good as it is is nothing short of amazing. I think the naysayers have absolutely unreasonable expectations of a physical object. They’re probably the same people that go out to eat on a Saturday Night with a party of 14 and get upset because they have to wait for a table big enough when they didn’t call ahead to make a reservation.

It was the best word to come to mind at the moment, but yeah. There's some serious reality-warping with Blackarachnia in the show.

I see a lot of comments about mass shifting or reality warping... and that is exactly why I tend to dislike the toys that make an extreme effort to be "show accurate". Something gets sacrificed somewhere to pull it off, from fake wheels and pretend windshields to overly complicated (and often therefore fragile) transformations, we usually end up with a less than perfect toy. Often one mode looks great, while the other is less so.

In my humble opinion, it is better to just focus on making a good toy with good articulation and a good transformation, and let the show focus on being the show.

I think a combination of both of your ideas. These are toys and ultimately going to be purchased by kids as well so the 'toy' component or 'fun' factor should be the primary concern above accuracy. And if the cartoons are still to be used as commercials for the toys then the developers of the toon should work hand in hand with the toy developers so accuracy is a given.

That being said, this Blackarachnia (Blackwidow) looks pretty amazeballs all things considered.

Here are pics of it not being properly put together in beast mode. You can see the back of the spider just panels hanging loose.

Agreed.

I'll say again what I said when the first pictures dropped. If they had simply bothered to conceal the gold of her bot mode legs in Beast Mode, she would have looked fantastic in both modes. As it stands, they clearly concentrated their efforts on the Bot Mode, whereas the other Beast War MP's to date seem to have had an equal level of focus.

It is concerning for the other Predacons. Aside from Terrorsaur, they are all bugs of various types. All traditionally didn't follow the overall shellformer aesthetic of the Maximals. This should be even more the case in Masterpiece. I dread to think how Waspinator or Inferno could look at this point.

Maybe we'll see another Maximal next! Tigertron would be a likely candidate given the slightly larger but similar transformation as Cheetor.

I'm hoping for an Airazor. In fact, an updated Transmetal Airazor would be sweet!

I think we can pretty much guarantee that no Transmetals who were not in the show will be getting Masterpieces.

Indeed. As much as I'd love to see TM Rhinox or Cybershark (in any form) in the MP line, it is extremely doubtful.

Gelshark, however, would have a decent chance, but probably not for a good number of years (or via a fan-determined event like the poll that brought about Star Saber).

While never called a Transmetal, Gelshark and the other four Destrongers were initially marketed as a breed of Predacon called "Metal Beasts". ;)

MP-46 Blackwidow (aka Beast Wars Blackarachnia) is only a two weeks away from being released and we are now getting some in hand pics. We only have the robot mode for now and it is slightly mistransformed. The belly, for instance, should not have the spider eyes on it. We will share a better image below to show you what it looks like. Also, since people had asked, we take the opportunity to show the difference between initial images of the spider mode and a recent image which shows it much cleaner and more put together. These images come from Vector Sigma on Facebook.

I starting to have the feeling that was an issue of the first batches. I got mine last month, transformed him several times to check that problem and so far (just some attention in handling the crotch section) everything is fine.

Her got her a bit mistransformed through the review, but fixes it a bit in the pics at the end, like how her hips slide up in robot mode a bit.

no. tarantulus needs a completely different mold. its fine to have some similar elements since the original toys were just repaints, but their show models and scale to one another were too different for them to do a retool for their masterpiece representations. would be the same for tigertron since he was way taller then cheetor in the show

Agreed, none of the BW MPs should be retools.

I’d be more forgiving of Tigatron being a retool of Cheetor, but Tarantulas and Blackarachnia are too different.

Yes, essentially while sharing some engineering, Tarantulas and Tigatron will be bigger molds, bigger figures. What I mean is specifically regarding the execution of the Spider Mode. They do transform in the same way, so hopefully HasTak won't think improvements don't need to be made further down the line for Tarantulas.

got ya. agree there. but I think tarantulus would be easier to make less kibbly, given his bulky/chunky robot mode and less bulbous spider abdomen. more room for panels really.

It is strange to see that within the first line of Beast Wars figures, most of the Predacon bugs were much better executed designs than the Maximal Beast Modes. Yet, fast forward to the Masterpiece collection and the first MP bug looks to be the worst Beast Mode so far :???:

Not so sure about that. I still really dislike Cheetor's execution. Unlike Blackarachnia, Cheetor actually has extraneous kibble sticking out that look like tumours coming out f his legs. Blackarachnia at least tries to make it work with the overal shape.

Just my opinion of course.
