It'd be disappointing if it doesn't turn out to be Tarantulas. I hope they don't screw him over.
BB Shockwave
Mesothelae is an order of spiders.

And the hyukk-hyukk laughter, this is soooo Tarantulas. Glad to see him added to the roster.
Autovolt 127
Me too that'd be nice.
RazorclawX
And best of all the animators made his wheel-shoulders into a badass missile launcher.
YoungPrime
That's not what I said…
"G1 till I'm done" fan here. I just don't like those BW toons is all.
Verno
G1 characters? But they're older than Tarantulas! How do you even know about them?!
optimusmegas
lol thats….wow i don't get that at all…
so because beast wars is old…it's not good enough for the character anymore? lol okay….
YoungPrime
Uh, no.
I meant updated, improved versions. Showing him here is as good a start as any I guess.
Though I still would've preferred the return of Scorponok or Sixshot or a dozen other G1 characters.
Almagnus1
So… more Beast Wars characters entering the fray in the IDW verse?
Yessssssss
Fallout
TM tarantulas is hands down of my favorite tf designs ever. too bad they fucked up the toy's headsculpt.
SPLIT LIP
I hope so.
Transmetal Tarantulas was an incredibly badass design. From the alt mode to the kibble to the colours to the robot design, everything was awesome.
Digilaut
I think they might be going with his Transmetal body, because it looks more mechanical and has wheels…could be wrong.
PredaconElder
This outline kinda looks like Rook!Tarantulas. Did TFCC payoff Nick Roche to get a cameo of their toy in SotW?
Verno
The story is there. It's called Beast Wars. It's been waiting there for 20 years for you to watch. You can't pin it on Hasbro for you not knowing who he is.
Smitty.1981
That explains it.
Raiju
Good to see Springer back in action!
YoungPrime
That might be true but charge it to Hasbro for not showing the character more love. Other than that crummy retool of Wreck-gar that Funpub released I have no clue who he is or how much of an impact he had.
Verno
Muchly obliged!
You should have kept reading. He's one of the most capable characters in the history of TFs.
YoungPrime
Get out of your feelings. I'm not a BW fan. (or where ever the h3ll he comes from)
I did some research on the character and it looks terrible, (didn't pursue any further). So I doubt he'll have the same impact that Overlord had in LSOTW unless he's significantly redesigned or hopefully not the main antagonist in this book.
