Takara Tomy YouTube Channel has uploaded a new Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia Official Promotional Video for your viewing pleasure.

The video features a Takara Tomy employee (the designer, maybe?) showing off Blackarachnia in robot mode. We can see how the articulation on the legs works, so that she can even sit down crossing her legs. The video also shows the original Blackarachnia toy (known as Black Widow in Japan) mentioning how they really worked trying to bring the anime/cartoon look of her. We can also see Blackarachnia’s size compared next to Masterpiece Megatron and Optimus Primal. We are sure, Blackarachnia fans will really be pleased with this material

The video es region-locked, but fear not since 2005 Boards member primalxconvoy has provided us with a mirror. Check the video below and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards! Don’t forget that Blackarachnia is available for pre-order via our sponsors below

Courtesy of Ami Ami we can share for you clear official stock images of the most recent entry in the Beast Wars Masterpiece line: MP-46 Blackarachnia.

The images show off our beloved bad spider-girl in all her glory, revealing a wide range of poseability in robot mode. She can sit crossing legs, the spider legs can be positioned as guns (very cartoon-accurate) and she can even make a high kick! We also have a look at some of the accessories included, like her gun and visor, and an extra head with green eyes.

We also have better shots of the spider mode, definitively better transformed compared to our first images from Shizuoka Hobby Show. The robot arms are more hidden and the main spider’s body looks more integrated. The spider legs are strong enough to hold the spider weight,and  she can be attached on her spiderweb accessory for a great display.

Check the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Once again, from Takara Tomy Display at Shizuoka Hobby Show 2019, we can share more images of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia. We finally have our first look at her spider beast mode.

The spider mode looks very cartoon-accurate and keeping the proportions of the body. The robot mode seems to be integrated, but with visible robot legs by her sides. Could it be another case of transformation mistakes?

Coming in hot from the Shizuoka Hobby Show we have our first look of how MP-46 Blackarachnia will be colored. Keep in mind this is still a prototype and some changes might be made before her actual release which is still unknown. Big thanks to Dengeki Hobby for sharing the photos.

Update: New images of Blackrachnia’s beast mode added

Some exciting sightings for Australian fans! Via Ozformers we can report that the Transformers Golden Lagoon Starscream And Autobot 03-pack (Perceptor, Beachcomber, Seaspray) & Masterpiece Shadow Panther have made their way into Australian retail.

Ozformers member Miles_Prower was lucky to find these former Takara Tomy Mall exclusive golden chrome figures at Mr Toys Toyworld in South East Queensland. These stores are located only on this area, but since they are part of Toyworld, you could expect them to appear in other Toyworld stores over Australia or their website.

You can get the shiny Golden Lagoon Autobot 3-pack for $129 AUD (&92.52) which is a nice price. Golden Lagoon Starscream is priced $80 AUD ($57.38) which is quite expensive for a Deluxe but still affordable compared to aftermarket prices.

Masterpiece Shadow Panther is kind of unexpected. Originally planned to be released as a Toys”R”Us Australia exclusive, it had to be cancelled due to this retailer shut down in Australia. The black repaint of Masterpiece Cheetor could arrive to Australian shelves anyway, but with a price tag of $129 AUD ($92.52). This  is $19 AUD ($13.63) more than the original Toys”R”US pre-order, but still affordable compared to the online market at the moment.

Happy hunting to all Australian fans!

Thanks to 2005 Boards member chrisr291 for sharing in our boards our first in-hand images of the impressive Transformers Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron.

Beast Wars Megatron was one of the core characters from Beast Wars. Ruthless, cold, treacherous and smart…. Yeeeeeeeeeeees! His Masterpiece incarnation not only proves to be an excellent figure, but also a very expressive one. The finishing, poseability, extra faces, accessories will sure please your optics a. A very enjoyable figure, and the biggest one in the Masterpiece Beast Wars line so far, bigger than the already impressive Masterpiece Dinobot.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Larry DiTillio, writer of the Transformers: Beast Wars TV Series.

A brief Tweet from J. Michael Straczynski brought the sad news about Mr. Larry DiTillio who passed away after a long illness. He and Bob Forward were the story editors of the Beast Wars show which brought a complete new generation of fans, and made Transformers shine on pop culture once again. His work made Beast Wars one of the best (if not the best for many fans) written Transformers shows. The great story-telling and character development was one of the keys of Beast Wars success.

His contribution to our franchise will never be forgotten, together with the great writing talent he showed working on the original Masters Of The Universe cartoon and its updated 2002 version.

TFW2005 sends our condolences in this sad moment.

The Takara Tomy Legends EX line brought us Blue Big Convoy and, as usual with these releases, an exclusive pack-in manga is included.

Blue Big Convoy is not a just straight repaint but a completely different character from the original Big Convoy on this continuity. This 2-page manga features both Blue Big Convoy and Big Convoy working together as a team. We can also spot several characters from Japanese Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo cartoons like Galvatron, Lio Convoy, Convoy (Optimus Primal) and Great Convoy, head of the Convoy Council (seen in Beast Wars Neo Cartoon).

The story seems to be a prelude to the Blue Big Convoy online manga we reported before. Click on the bar to check the mirrored images, including Blue Big Convoy’s bio card and other LG-EX pack in manga courtesy of 2005 Boards member PoweredConvoy.
