Transformer of the Day for May 11, 2009

BLACKARACHNIA

-Faction: Predacon / Maximal
-Era: Beast Wars / Beast Machines (1996-2000)
-Function: Double Agent
-Motto: “Practice Deception with Good Intention”
-Notable Toy: 10th Anniversary Edition (Takara, 2006)

Notes: I love the idea that a protoform can be turned. I also like that some basic programming remains even after this change, so there remains, pardon the pun, a spark of light. The unfortunate thing was that it took Transmetal 2 for her to get her own unique character. However, the 10th Anniversary repaint of Tarantulas for the Japanese market is still the best version of her out there.
