2005 Boards Member Gilgamesh is bringing us product images of Transformers: Prime Airachnid, Deadend & Ultra Magnus toy figures.
We first heard of the Airachnid toy, way back in April 2010 when S250 told us about the figure. Her spectacular entrance on the show earned the respect of fans, who demanded a toy immediately.
Deadend looks like a Repaint of Transformers: Prime RID Wheeljack.
And finally Ultra Magnus look as though he is a Cyberverse Commander.
Also on show in these images are a few new Cyberverse releases, including a Commander Optimus Prime redeco with twin swords, a Bumblebee redeco, a single release of Wheeljack, and an Arcee redeco named Flamewar. There’s also a new look at the Bumblebee Battle Suit and the next two waves of Bot Shots.
Update: This writer took the liberty of enhancing the Images for your viewing pleasure. Take a look at the images attached with this news post, after-the-jump.

It's one hinge per blade. If you look at the bot mode pics, those hinges allow the blades to fold forward in bot mode. In order to have a spider mode, she'd have to have an even number of blades that can unfold to "grow" longer for the spider mode. There is no way those hinges can do that.

I'm sure Dr. Wu or fakebusker83 will come up with something to add onto Airachnid's deluxe toy to make it more screen accurate.

Why would they?! That wasn't a spider mode, it was a Yoga position! She curls her bot legs up into an "abdomen" and some "legs" fold out from her back! So didn't TURN into a Spider?! so why make a toy? easy.. They wont, the one that's coming out is 98% perfect! Yes her rotors don't fold into legs, but they DO turn into ROTOR (something vital to a helicopter) and hang off her back ala they character, so I say she's fine the way she is!

Hope that there will be the official product rather than just a 3rd party for Airachnid of Spider mode
Valkysas
You have nothing to support this claim.

Airachnid looks absolutely amazing. Ultra Magnus looks cool too. If they'd give us a Voyager-sized one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Stepper
No worries guys,they will defnitely come out another version which can transform into spider mode

Plus she's used them as melee weapons in two legged form anyway, so they're giving us that option.

When I look at Mixamaster I see a Crab – but some people just see a robot hunched over with forearm shields.

Looks to me like there is a hinge in the middle of each blade. Not that this would mean that the figure has a spider mode but there does appear to be some articulation there. A fan mode or a mid-TF "3rd" mode might be possible.
I don't have Mixmaster but I thought the only reason he has the spring loaded cannon was because HasTak gave him the "3rd" mode.
Wheeljack_Prime
Obviously Hasbro's way of meeting us halfway.
StarryAqua
I'm a little suspicious on why the blades end in spider feet if the toy doesn't have a spider mode.
Wheeljack_Prime
Not really. Mixmaster's battle mode is nothing more than "push him over" and Ransack's battle mode is nothing more than "don't transform him all the way". Not the same thing as engineering extra joints into the rotors, which may or may not be able to support the weight anyway.
Insane Galvatron
In the show, her helicopter blades become the spider legs. There are 4 of them. The toy only has 3 blades, and they are solid. Meaning they can't transform into legs.

If Hasbro can give us stuff like this:
and this:
I'm sure they can give us something resembling Airachnid's spider-mode.
Primus_feather
^ Last time I checked have her legs curl up to form a spider abdomen and have her walk on her rotors a "spider-mode" does not make! thus NOT worth TakaTomyBro's time to design one, Its not a transformer if only part of it transforms!
Stepper
Understand man,if that is the case, most likely Takara will come out another Airachnid in spider mode.
SouthtownKid
Did I miss a page of this thread where we had official confirmation that Airachnid is definitely not a triple-changer?
Sad if true. Worse is that if she could only have two modes, I would have rather they gave her spider & robot, and forgot the helicopter. Maybe they thought spider-bots had been done too many times already.
Mechafire
Sorry bro but you shouldn't get your hopes up; Takara will probably just slap some ugly stickers and Micron ports on her.
Actually now that I think about it, it would be pretty damn cool of her Micron was able to somehow form a proper "spider mode" – although it's pretty unlikely that'll happen.
Stepper
Sure hope that Takara will do something about it regards to the spider mode.
