Tarantulas
Tarantulas Toy
Allegiance: Predacon
Size: Deluxe
Difficulty of Transformation: Medium
Color Scheme: Purple, green, gold, black, yellow, and silver, with some creamy cyan
Rating: 7.6

    Beast mode is a tarantula. He has a nice pattern on his back, and looks very nice. No extras in this mode except for his grappling hook in the back of his rump, and the robot feet easily visible from a rear view. The mode is pretty nicely detailed, and the legs are individually articulated, but there are no other points of articulation beside these. However, the pincers are too large proportionally, and the abdomen is too small.
    Robot mode is okay; almost no extras except for his spider legs, which are machine guns in the TV series. They don't get in the way much, though. His grappling hook string can get all tangled up, and doesn’t fire that far from his gun. His has nice claws for hands, though, and a nicely done body and legs.
    A good buy, if you can still find one.
