If you didn't already know, Blackarachnia is repainted from an older figure (the 2000 Beast Machines Blackarachnia, to be precise.) In fact, the entire Universe line is comprised of repaints.

Oh, well.

Blackarachnia's robot mode is extremely well detailed, and offers plenty of articulation. However, the waist is somewhat flimsy and her hair tends to get in the way during transformation to spider mode. Spider mode is pretty good, but the front legs are rather small. I wish Hasbro had made them a little bigger. It can also be kind of hard to pose her in spider mode.

My biggest gripe about the toy is the paint job. The original version was purple with green spots and highlights; it looked pretty good, actually. But this version is purple and orange. It's just not visually attractive.

Another personal complaint I have is the Blackarachnia is a Decepticon. I like her better as a Maximal/Autobot, darn it.

Well, if you missed out on Blackarachnia back in 2000, here's your chance to get another one (albiet a somewhat less attractive version).

Blackarachnia has always been one of my favorites and this figure is one of the best versions done.The detail in robot and spider mode is excellent with a cool and unique color combination.Her body actually twists for spinning blade action in robot mode while in spider mode you can move the leg to activate a fang attack.The poseability for displaying or acting out battle scenes is an A++ all around in robot or spider modes.What I also love about this version is how realistic the spider mode looks.The transformation level is intermediate meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is minor difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you might have to help a little,but honestly after a few times they should be able to get the hang of it.Blackarachnia is the best as a decepticon and should always be considered as one of the most elite decepticon characters ever.The durability of Blackarachnia in robot or spider mode is excellent as well.Blackarachnia is a high quality,well-made, 10 out of 10 figure all transformer fans should treasure.Transformers Rule!!!!

This toy is very sturdy. The joints all lock into place and snap together well. I like this toy becaues it has the original color scheme that apperared in the cartoon. The only negative the head is not the same as in the cartoon.

THIS IS ONE COOL SPIDER EVEN THOUGH SHE KEEPS CHANGING SIDES IN THE FIGHT OF GOOD AND EVIL. THIS TOY IS A DECEPTICON.
