Voice actor David Kaye has taken to his YouTube page to grace us all with his annual holiday song as sung by Beast Wars Megatron. Yeeeeeeeeeeees!
We are so glad Mr. Kaye and Mr. Chalk (Optimus Primal’s voice) keep the legacy of their characters for all fans on these special days. If you missed Gary Chalk’s Christmas song, you can watch it here.

With just a few hours left before Christmas, fan favorite Gary Chalk, voice of Optimus Primal in Beast Wars, has graced us with a Beast Wars style version of the classic “Here Comes Santa Claus” song, now titled “Here Comes Megatron” with lyrics by Candice N. Santora and Gary himself.
Enjoy the video below and let’s hope David Kaye will bless us with some Megatron Christmas surprise this year too.
We are saddened to report that script writer & story editor Dorothy Catherine “D.C.” Fontana has died at the age of 80. Articles on Comicbook.com and Scyandfantasyfanssociety.com have just confirmed it.
While she has been well-known by her involvement in the Star Trek franchise for many years, she became part of the Transformers franchise when she wrote the Beast Wars episode “Crossing The Rubicon” when Blackarachnia became a Transmetal 2.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
Via Robotkingdom we have image of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia Packaging and Collectible Die-Cast Pin.
Fan-favorite femme fatale comes in a nice horizontal box featuring the Long Life Design logo of previous Masterpiece releases and showing her in both spider and robot mode (in a very dynamic pose). Additionally, we finally have a look at the new collectible die-cast pin included with Blackarachnia for the Asian market. And taking about pins, Robotkingdom have also shared an image of the new die-cast pin that is included with the Masterpiece Soundwave Reissue. (You can check his gallery here).

Last week many fans got their copy of “Transformers: A Visual History” by Jim Sorenson. The book overall covers the art of the last 35 years of the Transformers brand. One of the fun easter eggs in the book is the unused artwork for Power of the Primes Primal Prime. At this point it might be unlikely this figure will see the light of day but with Generation Selects, time will tell.
Attention Beast Wars fans! We can share our first in-hand images of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia for your viewing pleasure.
Fan-favorite femme-fatale has been waiting for a real cartoon-accurate representation of her first form for many years. It seems it was worth the wait. We have a great looking spider mode which looks not only natural but with fully articulated legs and an impressive finishing. The robot mode is as if she were taken from the animation. We are glad to confirm that the robot mode has almost no backpack, and it features a great range or posability.
We also have a look at all the extra accessories: 2 interchangeable faces, visor & cable, anchor missile, base and the spider web pieces. A plethora of ways to display Blackrachnia in your collection. For those fans worried about scale, we also have comparison shots next to the rest of Beast Wars Masterpiece figures.

Via Planet Iacon Facebook, we have images of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia that was on Display At Asia Comic Con 2019.
The Asia Comic Convention event was held in Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Hasbro’s booth had fan-favorite Predacon femme fatale on display at the event. Two figures were shown: one in spider mode and another in beast mode. While we can spot some mistransformed parts, the images show the impressive finishing and proportions in both modes. It is also remarkable that there’s practically no backpack in the robot mode, something that we are sure collectors will really appreciate.

Takara Tomy Mall website has updated the listing of their exclusive Encore Big Convoy Reissue Matrix Buster Edition with our first look at the packaging.
This special reissue of Big Convoy mold comes in the original toy colors (different from the anime-accurate deco of the regular Encore reissue) The most important part of this new reissue is the enormous Matrix Buster cannon seen during the final battle in the Beast Wars Neo cartoon.
The packaging is completely new, with a closed box featuring a cool Big Convoy art holding his massive Matrix cannon, and with a small image of his toy mammoth mode on the lower right corner.
Additionally, they have uploaded an interview (pdf file in Japanese) with the Takara Tomy design team about this new reissue with some new information about this figure:
