@@PrimeVsPrime me either! I have a question about his legs. While he’s in robot mode, can u swivel them around like Blackarachnia’s to make him look more show accurate? I mean like do the instructions say u can swivel them around when he’s in robot mode?
He looks so amazing! It's funny that you mentioned wanting some Transmetals figures. When Kingdom got announced all I could think was "I know it won't happen, but I would kill for a Transmetals Tarantulus..." With them still doing Beast Wars characters in Legacy, I have just a little bit of hope it might happen. lol
Now we've gotten Tiger hawk and transmetal 2 megatron, I'm really hoping for trans metal cheetor, optimus, rattrap, megatron, as well as the trans metal 2 characters, silverbolt, depth charge, rampage, auickstrike, ect
I'm shocked, this is about as perfect a Tarantulas toy as I could have ever hoped for. Hasbro seriously nailed this one. Now fingers crossed they hit it out of the park with Inferno.
@@greenlee7smythe I'm thinking some of these preorders will start showing up within the next month since Jhiaxus from wave 2 is already getting delivered to people.
@@galmorzu okay great because all the websites say “december 1, 2022” and I’m sorry but wave 1 came out in may and 7 months between waves? That’s ridiculous! Wave 1 appeared at my job like April 28th when they said may. Still no tarantulas. I’m very impatient!
@@greenlee7smythe Yeah, same here. Tarantulas is the figure I'm most looking forward to getting. the December 1st date is just the usual placeholder date places use if they don't have a definitive date, but I can confirm wave 2 is already starting to show up (at least the voyagers, since I just got Jhiaxus last week).
Absolutely love the figure! There is just one tiny detail that bugs me: The beast mode’s eyes. They are placed like a lycosidae spider (wolf spider), with a big pair of eyes on the center, while a tarantula has its eyes placed on top of their carapace
At least he doesn't just look like a fictional spider like the original figure, and he no longer has nine eyes so now Rattrap can legitimately call him "Eight-eyes."
I can't wait for Tarantulas and Inferno! I've been so excited for all these Beast Wars figures and I feel like I've been spoiled. I just want Silverbolt, Rampage, Quickstrike and Transmetal Dinobot. We know we're already getting a Dragon Megatron. I really like the scale between Tarantulas and Blackarachnia. Thanks for the review. I always like an early look, helps me decide if I'm going to purchase it or not.
I've been patiently waiting for him to release along with Inferno so i can complete my S1 Predacon collection. I love the head sculpt too, super accurate to the in-show 3d model, especially with the eyes on his head~
Nice to see more Beast wars characters comin in. Feels like takara tomy straight up abandoned their line cause masterpiece Tigatron didn't sell too well :(
Desginer A "How can we turn BA into Tarantulas?" Desginer B "Why don't we copy the basics and then do the rest as new parts?" Desginer C "Lets just make a brand new figure from the ground up?" Boss "C, your a genius, lets go that way!"
Great coverage! Thank you! Very much looking forward to this guy arriving! As for "realistic colours," look up Avicularia purpurea for a mind-blowing real-life purple tarantula.
I've always wondered what kind of tarantula old Eight-eyes could have been based on. The original prototype action figure looks like a baboon spider and the tarantula he scans in the cartoon looks like an Airizona blonde.
@@JoeMavro1 I think they mentioned the exact species in the IDW 2-Part "Wreckers" trade paperback some time ago. (Before they brought out the extremely hard-to-get and expensive 3-Part TP I'm trying to save up for, that is.) Funny thing is, if you look at this Tarantulas figure's spider mode face, he looks more like a tarantula wolf spider.
I know you don't do this for comedic effect, or at least I think you don't, but I swear, 😂, every video of yours that I watch, the figure is "THE BEST" something. I laugh every time I hear you say it Even if I agree with you, it just gets me every time. All right now let me finish watching this. I can't wait to get this figure.
Hahaa thanks as always for checking it out! I can’t help it loool hasbro keep packing out these bangers - what do you think of the figure? Is it the “best” lol
@@PrimeVsPrime after watching this......yes, it is the Best. Looks like a friggin Masterpiece besides the holes in the calves. I used to watch Billy and Mandy with my kids
Tarantulas rivals Megatron as my favorite Predacon, so I'm glad that I pre-ordered this. I never got the 1996 figure because it was nowhere to be found when I started watching the show. I thought of getting the 10th Anniversary figure, but I didn't like the lime green and plum paint job, so I got the Fox Kids Transmetals Tarantulas instead. But finally, we have a well-made and show-accurate Tarantulas that frankly was long overdue. My only nitpicks are that they could have gone the extra yard and painted those marking on his thighs and made his gun its proper colors.
Oh the Beast Wars figures, Tarantulas is the best looking one. He has a beautiful color scheme. My favorite piece in my Beast Wars display. Followed by Terrorsaur.
He will be a retail release along with Inferno, Terrasaur is also getting a re-release but in his O.G toy colors from the 90's. Which, I won't complain about, because I wasn't about to drop $80 to $100 on the golden disk figure, not for a frigging deluxe lol
Was expecting a large retool of black arachnia, but this is more like a new figure that just borrows some of her mechanics. Love the sawblade as a reference to his Transmetal version.
Another epic win, makes me wonder who the hell designed and approved the train wreck Rhinox when all the others have been so amazing and so accurate. It’s like they didn’t even look at a single sho screenshot
I definitely 💯 percent need Tarantulas to complete my Predacon team 😀! Tarantulas is Ultra-fantastic figure that i ever seen 😃! Thank you for reviewing this awesome figure, PrimevsPrime 😊!
i wonder if tarantulas can get a interesting redeco for rung or a random character??? it would be interesting for rung to have a different form but with some accuracy to the comics
Epic review PrimeVsPrime!!!! I'm super excited for Tarantulas, especially since he is based on his cartoon animation model. :D Hopefully we get to see Legacy BW Inferno soon, apart from the teaser on Legacy Metroplex's box. lol Keep on being amazing. TARANTULAS TERRORIZE!
@@PrimeVsPrime I'm thinking that, similar to Tarantulas having the optical illusion of looking like a bigger version of Blackarachnia, BW Inferno will be a new mold but look like a larger verison of Kingdom Waspinator, with the wings and stinger removed.
The Robot Mode hands sticking out of the front of the spider face make me think Hasbro may retool this mold into Transmetal II Blackarachnia. And I think that would work.
IMO Tarantulas and Jhiaxus are the best out of Legacy Wave 2 (Motormaster is a Wave 1 Commander). Tarantulas is very solid in both modes, love the spider mode.
So this Deluxe came with his Transmetal buzzsaw but Cheetor doesn’t have his iconic Gut Gun? I can’t wait for that Voyager ant Inferno! Almost complete with the season 1 Beast Wars characters!
I have such arachnophobia but GOD I am soooo looking forward to getting my hands on this figure! I can’t wait for him to TERRORIZE!!! *manacle evil mad scientist laughter*
When is he going to be released? Wave 1 came out in may and all over the internet it’s saying he’ll be released december of this year. They are not going to have 7 months in between each wave are they?!
Oh my god he looks amazing!!! Tarantulas was my favorite character in Beast Wars so I will definitely picking this up. When is he supposed to hit stores shelves??
This is amazing I was waiting for transformers tarantulas’ in the transformers kingdom series but in the transformers legacy series that nice I can’t wait for it to come out on December 2022 in winter ❄️
It's soooo close to being perfect! The one problem I have is that when I first saw him, I thought he looked too bulky and rounded, not as slim and creepy as his show model was. It was only after a closer analysis that I realized what the problem was: his claws are JUST too small, compared to how big and prominent I'm used to them being. The rest of his body is actually perfect, but the claws made him look oversized, and although it's not a bad figure and probably won't bother anyone else, that's just me.
Ugh! I keep thinking of this thing blasting out of poor ol Roadbusters head like something from 'The Thing'. This figure is waaaaaay too realistic!!! Fantastic, but gross. Lol!!
Tarantulus’ backpack is screen-accurate, he had a shell of the abdomen as his back in Bot-mode!!
Cool but why the !!
Dirty minded?@@MatthewTwaMja
Tyler Mac well you could be spider
Wow trantulas looks actually really good like the transformers Beast wars design

I like this design because he reminds me of The General from arachnophobia.. most dangerous creature alive 😏 cunning intelligent
Dude I know the fact that they gave a character named tarantulas a wolf spider beast mode bugs the shit out of me
I never thought he was a tarantula. His legs are thin and most tarantulas are brown.
🤓🤓

Mini-masterpiece! I can just hear that signature cackle coming from him.
Haha ikr
This terrifies me as an arachnophobe, but delights me as a Tarantulas fan!
So stoked for this figure! Honestly never thought it was going to happen.
Nice to see more Beast wars characters comin in. Feels like takara tomy straight up abandoned their line cause masterpiece Tigatron didn't sell too well :(
Now we need a retool of this into an actual Transmetal Tarantulas...yesss!!
Oh absolutely! Yes 🤩
Even though I hate spiders, i just HAVE TO pick this one up it look phenomenal!!
Haha ikr! Same here lol
I’m totally preordering this. Tarantulas was always one of my favorites, so having him next to my Blackarachnia figure would be perfect.
Good thing they treat him like how they treat their Tigatron, not just a mere repaint but a slight size increase and retooling instead.
I love that his kneecaps become his spinnerets in beast mode.
This is breathtaking. I truly wish they would continue making beast wars figures from the fuzors to transmetals and tranametal 2's
Maybe we can see that in the future
preordered mine last month as soon as i saw the link, now with with your review i'm more pumped to have mine!

Yeah and Rampage a Tank probably Blitzwing remold
@@drakedy2145 he was a crab
@@fennekin1750 a crab and a tank since he's a Transmetal
2 years later, and inferno and silverbolt have entered the mainline. Two more to go!
Cannot wait to get my Tarantulas when he becomes available.
I hope you like him! :)

You can just hear Alec Willows sinister cackle escape from the figure!
I just picked mine up today from my local Target. Love the figure ! ❤️
i got this figure and i got to say ITS AMAZINGLY ACCURATE
Ohhhhhhh yesssssssss!!!! Love this Big Back-stabbing Purple Spider. Can't wait to get him!!!!
