Something has been rattling around my brain recently.
In Beast Wars some characters have basic, TM and TM2 forms while some only upgrade from basic to either TM or TM2.
But what if they all had 3 forms like Pokémon evolution lines?
What would TM2 Tarantulus or TM Blackarachnia look like?

I watched Beast Wars as a kid and as I got older, I realized that Terrorsaur was a better Starscream than Tarantulus and it was lame that he got killed off immediately in Season 2.

Tantalus, moments after agreeing to swap with Tarantulus: "Oh boy, yep, he was right, this is worse! Wow, being frustrated that I can't reach grapes seemed SO upsetting before, and now it's like - hey, at least no tarantulas! Big misstep for ol' Tantie. That makes two I guess."

I put Kingdom Tarantulus, Blackarachnia and Trapdoor in a little enclosure to scare the hell out of my cousin who thought they were real spiders 🤣🤣🤣

I have so much envy and at the same time pride that I could identify Transmetal Tarantulus in the backround! Scorpinok was always my grail I was never able to find when I was younger!

I decided to try and make a Kettou Beast Wars Blackarachnia.
The sprites are so small and have so much detail and personality.

But in all seriousness I’m glad it gave us Tarantulus onscreen again.

I remember from Chris McFeely’s Tarantulus episode that “they were a small line of recolored figures to promote reruns of the show on Fox Kids”. Hopefully one day we’ll see a true line of all show accurate Transmetal figures instead of just a select few.

Tarantulus terrorize!!

in the middle of all of this glorious beast wars talk, I lament I can only talk about it to a friend on how amazing it was cause she's arachephobic and tarantulus and black arachnia would scare her, but I could probably show her dinobot clips and she'd be all into it
as for the rest, yes

I'm surprised TransArt haven't done a silver repaint of their Tarantulus considering the Fox Kids repaint is like this now

Prototype Tarantulus! It's my first time with this mold and it's a generally okay figure except for the part where you have to cram his feet up his butt. I prefer the original 90's mold but this is at least a fun colour scheme.

You've never known true FEAR unless you've tried (& likely failed) to outrun a SPYDROTH TARANULUS in QUEST FOR THE RINGS before it dropped down & devoured you!

Never mind that it was represented by an 8bit pixel avatar. It was still scary AF!

Alas, I am predictable. Give me Freya Crescent, Agrias Oaks, Q-Bee, xenomorphs, yautja, Shockwave, or Tarantulas, (The Beast Wars/Transformers character who they really should have kept spelling Tarantulus.) and I'm definitely grabbing it and rubbing it in some friends' faces.

The videopac is the one that had Quest for the Rings, right? (Or as I always think of it, the game with The Deadly Spydroth Tarantulus)

Wait. Oh my god.
Bee and Smoke meeting Tarantulus for the first time and nearly having a heart attack b/c he's the same type of bot as Airachnid(spidery). And we know how that all ended up. So they have Concerns(tm) at first. Luckily he is MUCH nicer and less murder happy than she.

I know I said Quarry is the explorative one BUT. Rubble finding and befriending Tarantulus 👉👈 he is a scientist and, at least in the comics, NOT a 'Con. And in ES was kinda nice.
if they thought Wheeljack was a bad scientist influence, this is WORSE haha.

Rubble and Quarry are homebodies in comparison. Still hashing them out but, Rubble goes the more science route. The 'screwing around in the to see what'll happen' sort. Controlled chaos for sure 😂 (Wheeljack absolutely teaches him how to make things go boom and Bee is NOT impressed) he's more of a-
