This review is from: Transformers Beast Wars Tarantulas (Toy)

The toy I purchased on Amazon was Tarantulas, a character from the "Beast Wars: Transformers" TV series and its toyline.

This toy is of the 10th Anniversary edition. It is the same mould as the original Tarantulas, but it has a far better colour scheme and contains clearly the "Predacon" symbol showing his allegiance!

Tarantulas has two modes; a tarantula and warrior robot. The robot form has an alternative "mutant head". The transformation process is rather clever but easy to do.

He contains a handheld gun concealed in abdomen. This can be spring loaded to fire a grapenel with string attached to his back, like a grappling hook. Some of the spider legs on his shoulders can be removed and fired from his gun as missiles.

The toy has a striking image, the joints are flexible but not too stiff. This makes him good for both play and display. I would certainly recommend this toy and it is a good addition to a transformer fans collection.
