The year of the femmebots continue! TF Yuki has tweeted out an image of the upcoming Legends BlackArachnia and Slipstream. The picture is taken using a foreshortening technique making BlackArachnia look a lot larger than Slipstream. Both figures, are extensive remolds of Animated Deluxe BlackArachnia and Generations Windblade respectively. Both figures are due for release in October.

Here translations of the first (taken from AllSpark forum):
Chromia: Looks like it's based on her "clothes". Tigatron in the first one is remarking on how different she looks from her appearance from "The Search For Alpha Trion". So she takes off her extra pieces and puts on her old costume, showing how well she can pull off that old look (however unsuccessful she actually is).
The second Nightbird comic is about Waspinator and Terrorsaur calling Slipstream and Blackwidow "sexy" and "glamourous", but then their attentions turn on to Nightbird when she takes off her mask ("so kawaii"). And so they start selling Nightbird Maskless versions.

I'm not sure what to think of BA's transparent "mandibles" though, they look rather awkward in beast mode.
Would it be feasible to color the inside with a marker?

So glad to be able to retire the old BW Blackarachnia as well as the TCC Slipstream! As with some other fans I also did the paint mod on Legends Black Widow and gave Slipstream the swords from Arcee.

Fun little detail – guys working at Polish customs did not even bother to check for the value or calculate any import fees, but they did check if products are original. I am aware that EU customs are looking for things like counterfeit clothes and phones, but I had no idea they also have toys on their radar.

I'm amazed that you can forgot you ordered these figures.
still really nice pics, especially the Blackarachnia/Rattrap, that plays perfectly into all of my fears.

Dream crusher.
No, the alt mode is very much Chromia's Tron-cycle. Front assembly and windscreen look nothing like the Groove mold.

The front wheel area is different. On the comic the top of the headlight juts out over the wheel, on the toy the windshield and the top of the headlight slopes into the wheel from near the seat.

Actually, it's Override.
But, that doesn't mean Computron won't happen. Check the recent rumors on the Transmissions Rumor thread.
Autoboty
(whispers) Don't break the hype! Computron MUST happen!
Robogeek28
Or, that could just be Chromia.
marvel b
he's making a list, and checking it thrice, gonna check again to confirm its nice!
computron is coming to town!!!!
he knows what you are thinking, he knows when you are baked
he knows when fembots are being good, so be good for primus sake!!!!
Autoboty
Wait. Look at Prime's leg, on the first comic, second from lowest, left panel. See the motorcycle? Could it be… could it be AFTERBURNER?
He's coming! All praise Takara, COMPUTRON IS COMING TO TOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!

Ha! I wish that could happen but I doubt they would even bother with it. Anyway, the 10th anniversary BW Megatron is still a pretty solid figure that has aged well so I don't think retools are necessary.
Although I DO wish that they would retool BW II Lio Convoy if they're planning to re-release him since that's a figure that has not aged well at all (he has aged much worse than his predecessor Optimus Primal even). All that kibble he has is obnoxious and obtrusive and doesn't add much to the look of the figure like, let's say, Big Convoy.
Robogeek28
Either that or an MP BW Megs to go along with BW Primal.
Darkstone
Just imagine if they actually retool it properly. Not just the new head from the 10th Anniversary design, I'm talking about a new left arm with an actual hand, the dino-tail plugging into it and a re-work of his "wings". And a rubber ducky accessory. How awesome would that be? Not as cool as a new mold, but I would get excited over a good retool too.
Rakzo
I actually love how chibi Blackarachnia looks. So cute.
And this reminds me that we need a reissue of Beast Wars 10th anniversary Ultra Megatron.

I just can't stop chuckling at the sight of Megatron in a business suit.

They're not.
