BEAST WARS "Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia"

- Depth Charge scans the driver, and finds that it's a device of alien nature that has been altered by Megatron. He decides to destroy the device by tossing it into some lava, but once Depth Charge's back is turned, Blackarachnia catches the device before it is immolated. Blackarachnia is setting up some equipment that will convert her into a Transmetal 2. However, Silverbolt detects Blackarachnia's energy signature, and, not understanding, pulls her from the machine. As Blackarachnia berates Silverbolt, she short circuits. Heading to the Maximal base, Rhinox concludes that the shell program is starting to degrade, and will erase her core consciousness if not treated soon. They begin the shell removal, but it has safe guards that will destroy Blackarachnia's core consciousness. Rhinox is able to destroy the first one. At his lair, Tarantulas discovers the removal process. He contacts Megatron, informing him of the situation. Inferno, Rampage, and Quickstrike are sent under Tarantulas to attack the Maximals. Rhinox is almost finished, but two more power surges head for her core consciousness. Rhinox blasts one, but Tarantulas fires a rocket which causes Rhinox to miss the other surge, which hits Blackarachnia's core consciousness and extinguishes her spark. The Transmetal driver begins to glow over Blackarachia. Preparing to strike the killing blow, Rampage is stopped-by Blackarachnia, now a Transmetal 2. Blackarachnia quickly defeats Rampage.
People talking about the animation aging poorly - keep in mind that this show is one of the first fully CGI shows to hit television. The people who worked on it also worked on Reboot and a lot of the software they used to make that show they basically invented as they were creating it. What you are seeing is the very best of what they could create with what they had (which, again, was stuff that some of these creators invented themselves) and also what their budgets would allow.
What I know , is that on that time I had a lot of fun watching this show .
and I was working on 3d . :P
Your absolutely right.
Facts
While it’s good to note the reasoning for such things…it still doesn’t neg the fact that the animation aged poorly
Kinda reminds me of the GC in the old might morphin movie
@@Kurotama11 it does negate it quite a bit. because almost everyone who say's this animation aged poorly are basing that (IMO, unfair) view on standards of good animation **today** when that was the best animation possible (for a weekly tv series) for it's era. Of course it's not gonna hold up to what animators can do today - why would it? It's nearly 30 years old. But that doesn't mean it "aged poorly". Better technology evolved to make better stuff (which, incidentally, the creators of this show paved the way for) and this show simply... "aged". That's my take anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ take it or leave it!
I was so glad to hear "black arachnia MAXIMIZE!!!" for the first time
I was too
same
5:19
The ONLY time!!! :(
I loved this two together. Beast Machines did them so dirty
Boy dirty ain’t even the HALF OF IT!!!!!
Beast machines did a lot wrong and a major downgrade though not completely surprising with how big beast wars was and how it apparently broke the bank
Was a disaster. They deserved better
@@rose1iverson3 you're right and it was bad but yeah a side effect of when it came out. I personally was alright with BM as a whole was it a downgrade to beast wars...acourse. It's not a so bad it's good and it isn't an underrated gem.
Lots of things wrong with Machines, but these two still ended up together, didn't they?
G1 fans will hate me, but I saw G1 show when I was 10, rewatching G1 in my late teens, I thought G1's story, inconsistency, lots of plot holes, and lack of cohesion made felt it was a child's show, and it was, tell that to G1 fans, I am a fan of G1 because of nostalgia, but I can judge G1 objectively as an adult, and I saw Beastwars when I was also in my late teens. The story is more cohesive, the comedy was funny, really lovable characters like Rat trap with his wit, and Waspinator with his bumbling clown persona. The love story between Blackarachnia and Silverbolt was an interesting depiction of Romeo and Juliet. Even Megatron had that Dr Evil vibe. The voice acting was top notch. It did not make fun of itself. This show truly is a Transformers masterpiece of a show. You watch this show for the upper mentioned reasons, and not for the graphics.
beast wars is just objectively the better written show
But what about i like those graphics? :3
Beast Wars was my first Transformers show as a kid so I didn't learn about G1 until way later, so when they went back to vehicles with Autobots and Decepticons in Armada I kept thinking why would they do this? It's so much less cool now and why are there humans?
She definitely put the “rack” in Blackaracnia😂
No wonder I find her attractive 😏😏
Boing oing oing oing
@@khalyllwilliams9596let me guess she's thicc
She was designed after one of the model creators went to a “gentleman’s” club and fell in love with a busty Asian dancer 😅
@@khalyllwilliams9596woah dude same here 😍
Waspinator: (gets crushed under a train car by the new Blackarachnia) "Waspinator fucking hate new spider bot."
Ah Waspinator.
Never can catch a break, can he?
@@predaprimeNope
While I loved most transmetal designs in the show, this one never worked for me. But I do love that head design, though, it served as inspiration for the Animated design.
I kinda looks like a repaint to be honest
Probably because it never really added anything to her besides a new paint job. Tarantulas had those missiles, for instance. Cheetor gained flying, Rattrap got wheels, etc. I don't recall Black Arachnia gaining anything from her transformation.
@@G1ingyActually she get something:
She get Telekinesis power...
And more important,
THE FINGERS
@@DanyBlueRight, I forgot about that oddly random power...it was at that point where it got a little weird alongside Tigerhawk's straight up magic.
@@G1ingy Tigerhawk was (partially) justified cuz he is Vok's experiment, and the Vok are aliens basically
The thing I hate the most is the fact that Tigerhawk just die 2 episodes later his debut
I think Blackaracnia Transmetal is unfairly underrated, she is not that bad in comparison with others characters and/or variants
Ex: Cheetor Transmetal 2, I hate it. This upgrade came out from the blue, became irrelevant after his debut, don't grant him new abilities and don't fit with his heroic role at all, look more like a Evil Counterpart than a Cheetor's upgrade
Or Quickstrike, flat character, no development, he is technically still a Maximals but act as a Predacons despite No one reprogram him when he was in the cell so he is evil for no reason, it was stupid (unlike Waspinator, Quick was not funny) and his design is not threating either, just a colorful short guy with the worst hands's design (as mechanical scorpion's design Scorponok got the best design for this species)
I love this design. Too bad they get rid of it in beast machines. Same with Transmetal 2 Cheetor
My Question is: Why was there never a beast wars episode, where a human was scanned by a stasis pod? As In: A human helping the Autobots, gets fataly injured. There is no cure for the demise of this person. So they grab a dormant stasis pod and place it in the same room as the dying human. Just before the human dies, they activate the stasis pod and voila. A Human Transformer with a beast mode of a human and robot mode of a tranformer super human. Any ideas?
It took her so long before she got practical hands instead of those big awkward claws, lol.
I believe that was the first and last time she ever said “Maximise”
Also I always wondered what she would have been like had the operation been a success.
Blackarachnia had some guts sneaking around on Depth Charge like that. Love her for it.
I’d be more excited to have actual hands now instead of pincer claws lol
Same lol I don't know how it never bothered her throughout the show. It looks so uncomfortable
@@archalys0well it was all she knew, so you can’t miss what you never had.
The guitar riffs still slap!
That guitar rift always iconic to this episode
What gets me most is beast wars had overall the best ideas.
Out the gate robots as animals
THEN- trans metal and fuzors
THEN - transmetal 2
From a standpoint of a child this was genius.
Yup there was a power gap that made sense.
They need to remake this with updated graphics with include all the other Predacons and Maximals in the toyline! It's time to bring Beast Wars to 2023!
Hopefully they will, with the new transformers movie showing animal based transformers.
@@Avseraph The movie version feels like a "better than nothing"-situation because the Maximals are about the same size as their Autobot counterparts. The whole point was to blend in with nature. Even if they got the size right, everyone would notice a cybernetic ape or cheetah. Horrible robots in disguise!
It always looks so much better in my memories
The guy who runs this channel knew exactly what he was doing with the thumbnail.
I Miss this Show my friends. I Miss this Times. Thanks.
I never noticed before: she shows off her retractable claws…..and never uses them! Just kicks and the web throw.
It’s like if they gave spider-man wolverines claws then have him do his regular moves
Always odd to hear BA say Maximise but hey, worked for dinobot!
Well her predacon programing was fully purged so it makes sense. Either way it didn't last long after this episode.
You go girl.
I misread it as BREAST WARS because of the thumbnail image.
It really was homie...it really was
😎👍
Few know about the Optimus who played for the Atlanta Falcons
His name was Optimus Grimes
Loved this show as a kid
Blackarachia was badass when she went transmetal
She would be awesome as a guest character in an fighting game same with the original Optimus Prime not the one in this series
She had like less than 5 episodes as this form till the series ended
The scene at 50 seconds reminds me of half-life and half-life two.
The full definition of the difference between Transmetal 1 and Transmetal 2 is discussed and described on the Transmetal 2 page on the Transformers Wiki site. The original transformer body is Transmetal 1 the advanced form/body of Primal, Blackaracnia, Cheetor and Dinobot that they had from upgrade from the Transmetal driver is Transmetal 2.
hooo tarantulous, you loved blackarachnia so much
I love transmetal version of her
5:18 Blackarachnia Maximize!! >w
O...kay ??
I love how they combined a spider and a robot and was like "this needs boobs"
And make them huge! And someone in design said, sure.
@@azavala1430 and give her nipples too
Well it's one of the best standard girly features 😂🔥
I love how every episode of Beast Wars is completly engaging, Especially in S2 and 3, while toe series as a whole js basically one big team deathmatch.
*Rampage:* Love The New look... *Goodbye!* [Fires At Blackarachnia Who Jumps Clear To The Ground So Close To Him]
*-Blackarachnia:-*- (You) Missed... -_-And-_- You're -*-Ugly-*- !-
@MRWIGLEY10 You Forgot "(You) Missed... _And_ You're *Ugly* !" That Would've Made Things More Epic!
Agreed. It was the best line of the episode.
Megatron is such a mood. My favorite iteration of him. Actually hated his personality in the original. I loved Galvatron though.

@@mkhanman12345 that's not funny. Stop spamming it everywhere.
5:47 'Round & 'Round She Goes... When She Stops, Nobody Knows... Well... Or Maybe _When She Stops, Nobody's Supposed To Know _*_Until It's Too Late_*
drift: no, that is blackarachnia
blackarachnia: i'm bad feeling about this
optimus prime: finally a worthy rival, our battle will be legendary
The robot mode wasnt bad. But the beast mode made her look more like a crab than a spider
I feel the opposite. Beast mode was like a cool armored spider, so I guess crab like but still cool. Her robot mode tho. I think they tried to make her too human looking. Like she looks like a blue skinned cosplayed wearing a red metal bra and a golden face mask.
I get what you saying because her fangs were huge, and they gave her literal crab claws
I didn't care for either, but you're right; she did look like a crab.
Her new beast mode looks like a tailless scorpion.
Who thinks silver bolt and blackarachnia are cute together
Shes a maximal once again
NOOOOO
@@Tyrannosaurusrexreddinosaurrex Megatron: Yesssssssssss
I never understood how the transmetal driver just up and made her a transmetal II? Without any equipment like it did with dinobot and cheetor.
All of the alien technology acted independently throughout the show, but it was also a running theme of megatron & tratantualus trying to control them with mixed results.
Not too shabby.
This show was awesome
Yo just more proof the evil ladies could get it whether its evil-lyn in the 80's or black arachnia in the 90s. Evil+femme fatale= hawt af!
I remember when I was a kid I had the trans metal action figure of her
Love watching this cartoon
I use to have an action figure of her and the bird chick.
Airazor
my only complaint is we didn't get to see more of this form.
It was close to the end of the Beast War Series and transitioning to the Beast Machine Series
B.A. sure had some B.M.M.T.'s
Big Mommy Milk Tanks.
3:34 why does megatron have a rubber ducky
He taking a chill in the bath tub for sure 🤣
It's his emotional support rubber duck.
Do you not Have emotional support ducky.
The only ally he can truly trust.
Why not?

Yeeesssss, thank you for this

This series desperately need a remastering, and then after a remaster, a remake.
Just redo the choreography, the rest is fine as is if they just rerender it
@@katnguyen9746 This series was rendered for 320 x 280 (I believe the native resolution of a CRT tv; the 3d technology they used during this time was extremely premitive, but as you see very effective, and 24 years 3d technology enhancements, they can do so much to this it will feel like a new show. 4k textures, ray tracing, high resolution anti-aliasing. Have you ever heard of Crisis the game remastering? They didn't do much for the remaster because the game could scale higher, but things they did was enough for the game to feel fresh. Heck a simple AI upscale would do wonders.
Or.....you leave it alone, as it was. Stop modernizing everything. This is perfectly fine as it is.
A remake will not have the same impact, it won't be as well written, definitely wouldn't be voiced nearly as well, would be incredibly soft and forced comedy that wouldn't land.
This was perfectly fine for what was given, it's a time capsule of a simpler time and how impressive things were at the time.
Rebooting or remaking it would just cause the reboot to be a catastrophic failure and fall into the background.
We'd end up with something like Beast Wars GO!, which is what happened to Teen Titans and rhar was abysmal
@@RetroActivityGaming I was advocating re-mastering first, which will immortalize the original. A remake doesn't have to be fully remake the original. Creative makers can improve of the original.
Your last statement isn't always true @@gdjaybee742

To bad air razor could not become a trans metal 2
I always said the same thing! I wish she and Tigertron were given a better ending too!
@@TazSimpson I know I hated that she died with Tigertron to make Tigerhawk who eventually died I mean it's such a waste and she was my favorite maximal because she one of the few Maximals that could fly.
He was already a fuzor...he didn't need to be a transmetal 2 on top of that... that's just excessive
@@fitzytail896 tigerhawk was a dude
@@Devils_Lair_Comics He was referring to AirRazor becoming a Transmetal 2 instead of being fused with Tigertron to become Tigerhawk, a merger of AirRazor (Female) and Tigertron (Male) - the two were also lovers in the series and comics.
awesome video
Tarantulas will be shocked when his crush dies
メタルスブラックウィード=山中いの
How?
I’ve always been confused by something: at 0:18 it looks like she’s facing Depth Charge. Meaning we can see the top of her head/her eyes. Yet, in the next frame, he walks towards her position and past her out of the cave, and she’s again, facing toward him without her turning around. So at 0:19 are we seeing her underside and it just LOOKS like she’s facing him (as she’s far away) or is it a blooper? It’s driving me nuts because I can’t tell which way she’s facing so far away and the way her legs move make it hard to tell.
The Witcher season 1 where yennifer bottles the Jinn. That’s what this scene literally is.
It's strange hearing her say maximize
I didn't like her new form because she's more dressed ha ha.
Well, in like one of those rubber suits that'll show more detail without upsetting some for nudity.
I like Black Arachnia she was better than Airazor
today, we're counting down another top 10, today is "Top 10 Reasons why Black Arachnia is better than Airazor"
Number 1: Black Arachnia doesn't fucken *DIE*
I really like predacons bc they funny not maximals l think😅
Reading thru the comments.....y are yte dudes so weird???🤣🤣🤣🤣😮💨
One of the reasons I watched Beast Wars was to see Blackarachnia's big spider milkers. Her transmetal form seem like a downgrade to that department.
such designs lol
Blackarachnia was CLEARLY dead but the driver brought her back to life. This is one of MANY reasons why season 3 was trash. Transmetal 2 was a bunch of Dinobot shit. Season 1 was the best season of them all💯
the last 2 episodes of S1 and the Aftermath episodes were the best episodes IMO. Such Mature/intellectual content for us kids at the time and the writing was so good!
Hell yes
@@oldjohnny9341 My Question is: Why was there never a beast wars/machines episode, where a human was scanned by a stasis pod? As In: A human helping the Autobots, gets fataly injured. There is no cure for the demise of this person. So they grab a dormant stasis pod and place it in the same room as the dying human. Just before the human dies, they activate the stasis pod and voila. A Human Transformer with a beast mode of a human and robot mode of a tranformer super human. Any ideas?
this is actually an opinion real people have? S2 and 3 were the best transformers ever offered
@@ataridc 😅😅😅
shouldnt it be just transmetal 1 bc "transmetal 2" implies that they became a transmetal from the explosion but she never did
Only reason she skipped directly to Transmetal 2 is because unlike the other Transmetal 1s, she ain't got a "vehicle mode".
Similarly, Optimal Optimus is probably the last of the Transmetal 1 types, simply because he's got two vehicle modes in addition to robot and beast. (Makes that convention exclusive Transmetal 2 Megatron that's a repaint of RiD01 Megatron/Galvatron all the more baffling)
@@DragoonMS sooooo transmetal 1 have a beast mode and some sort of vehicle or flight mode and transmetal 2 have just a beast mode, interesting
@@alexandersilva3327 more like a beast mode with high grade modifications like cheetors super fast rocket in beast mode
This, this is why there are so many 30 something technosexuals in the world today.
Gotta be honest I never liked either design for Blackarachnia in Beast Wars.
The original design looked too freaky with the black, soulless eyes and that weird edging around the mouth like she's wearing a mask.
The Transmetal 2 looked a lot better, but again, the head sculpt could've done with a bit more work. Mainly, lose the weird "hair/horns" on the sides.
Personally, I loved her Technorganic design in Beast Machines much more.
Guys don’t be deceived. She’s a 7 at best
for real i thought time pass by on cybertron faster than earth
Maximal guys only date ugly Predacon women.
this speaks to female nature to a tee. blackarachnia wanted to plastic surgery transmetal.
No it doesn't and no she didn't.
She wanted more power. She was a predacon after all
@@HerohammerStudiosI think it was more like she was born in the wrong body. remember, her being a predacon was because of Tarantulas, she was originally a Maximal or at least a Maximal Protoform.
OH MY FUCKInG GOd THIS Is SUS
God I hate the Transmetal II designs
I think that is the point, instead of being sleek like the original transmetal designs they were meant to be unnatural with exaggerated features. Just look at TM2 Cheetor's design!
@@thenerdbeast7375 Yes. And I hate it
Still a far better look than her techno organic form from BM.
@@MinasTsambanis their eyes especially in Beast Machines. They're unnerving to look at. Heck, it makes me miss Beast Wars
@@MinasTsambanis I second that. Though their animal forms look good in BM, it's their robot mode's eyes that look...creepy...
The stories were great but the animation wasn't polished enough.
this was late 90s . . . sure it didn't age well, but that's half expected. Of note, the same group who did Beast Wars also did the series REBOOT.
Yea.. says the neerdowell that would say
PS5 is the best! only to say PS5 is garbage

In this case the use of the prefix trans is they are going from one state / form to a new one. No related to today's issues
