(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to the original Beast Wars Tarantulas. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the original Beast Wars Tarantulas here.)

    Compared to the previous paint job this version of Tarantulas had, the 10th Anniversary Edition has some moderate changes, but nothing particularly groundbreaker. The main changes when compared with the original are the placement and color of paint apps on the head-- they are now pretty much 95% show-accurate now, with the only difference being the fact that the back of the head isn't painted purple like the front, which is a pretty minor issue. The yellow used for the decorate stripes on the spider back and mandibles has been dulled considerably, and the green has been mellowed out a bit into a more "swampy" feel. This new shade of green looks pretty good, but a bit "purer" of a green color would have been more show-accurate. The changes to the other colors when compared to the original version are negligible, at the most. Tarantulas does sport a spiffy new Predacon insignia on his spider backside/underside of his gun, however.
    No mold changes have been made to 10th Anniversary Tarantulas.
    10th Anniversary Tarantulas (or Tarantulus, if you prefer the copyright-evasion slight name change) isn't completely show-accurate, but he's definitely much closer than the original version, and has a neat paint job even when taken by itself. Plus, he's one of the few early Beast Wars molds that still stands the test of time and measures up well to quite a few of the new molds today. Mildly recommended.
