Over the weekend, Hasbro has applied for three new Transformers related toy trademarks at the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
- Mega Mighties (Serial Number: 87890032)
- Razorclaw (Serial Number: 87890226)
- Blackarachnia (Serial Number: 87890230)
Out of the three, Mega Mighties is a completely new name for the Transformers fans. Judging by the name, it could very well be for a gimmick line but the line seems to have a separate vehicle and accessory line as well:
“Toy action figures and accessories for use therewith; toy vehicles and accessories for use therewith; toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms”
The other two toys are familiar ones under the following category:
“Toy action figures, toy vehicles and toy robots convertible into other visual toy forms”
Razorclaw, whose most famous incarnation is that of a Decepticon Predacon who is also a part of a bigger entity; The Predaking. We all know that a new Predaking is on his way as a part of the ongoing Power Of The Primes line. Therefore, this listing comes as no surprise.
But the surprise is Blackarachnia. Known to many for her Beast Era representation, Blackarachnia later turned up on Transformers: Animated. Now however, she seems to be getting a new toy. There is a likelihood that she’ll be a part of the upcoming Transformers: Cyberverse animated series where Chapters might explore other past lines such as Beast Wars.

Now we know about Mega Mighties:

Here’s my theory. The cyberverse line up has the decepticons one less than the autobots. Hasbro was hoping that if a decepticon would win then they’d be in the show. That’s how blackarachnia will get in.
WishfulThinking
Seems likely. Although Hasbro doesn't release Beast Wars Masterpiece figures…just TakaraTOMY.
So…new Platinum boxset? Maybe a 5-pack vs set including: Universe Dinobot, Generations Rattrap and Generations Rhinox vs Legends Blackarachnia and Generations Waspinator?
Might explain why they slapped the Beast Wars label on the TR strength set…

not from hasbro. isnt blackarachnia supposed to be in cyberverse?

I’m thinking it will be MP Blackarrachnia
Blackarachnia1996
The status for Blackarachnia was updated today as “Review prior to publication completed.”
I’m assuming that means she was approved?

Why are you purple?
Venixion
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Ticks scare me too.

Should this happen, the cup, most definitely, would be full.

i hadn't thought of it before but i gotta say, Miss Arachnia is about the only character [other than my beautiful whirlybird] that i'd positively leap at an MP of…. bring me that perfect spidergirl!
Windsweeper II
Oh yeah! Now that would get me to buy a BW MP.

CROSSING EVERYTHING (not twisting!) that can be crossed, hoping she's the next MP reveal!

Blackarachnia has me twidling my thumbs in anticipation of the possibilities of what it could be…
Fenrys
except shes also named in part for a black widow spider, her alternate form

Kids would buy it if Blackarachina was a helicopter Airachnid.
Predaking21
If we are getting a new Blackarachnia toy I hope it looks show accurate, and if it\'s her Transmetal 2 form then I hope that version of her looks show accurate while at the same time looks like the same spider she transforms into.
Ikkstakk
That is not better.
fschuler
And therein lies the paradox I have to live with…
Maybe she could turn into a swollen tick or something…
Windsweeper II
I do remember reading different seasons of Cyberverse would draw inspiration from different iterations of the franchise, so maybe Blackarachnia will feature in season one while we get other BW characters in later seasons.

She's named after 'Arachnid', and although best known for them, not all arachnids are spiders.
Technically it's possible for Blackarachnia to be say, a scorpion and retain her name.
It's unlikely however.
