Transmetal Tarantulas

Beast Mode

---

Extremely cool! His beast mode is extremely detailed. Mainly pinkish- purple, dark blue with dark orange chrome on his back and mouth parts. Green and silver is painted on certain parts of his body. Can't exactly say he has undercarriage junk, except his robot hands can be seen on the underside of his body. His rubsign is also visible on the underside. His weapon, the sawblade, is stored between his legs. Take note how they are placed. And hey, hey, this spider can actually stand on his own eight legs, although it needs a little fiddling to get him up right.

Vehicle Mode

---

Tarantulas' vehicle mode involves pulling down and twisting his sawblade to form the front wheels, then deploy the rear wheel and you've got a spider bike! To get him to stay right, use the spider legs as support. It rolls, but not very far for mine.

Robot Mode

---

Transformation to robot mode is tricky, especially with the shoulder. There is a slot and tab on the arm and shoulder respectively, which would stabilise the shoulder. moving the arm too much will cause the shoulder to flop down. Stands about 5.4 inches(13cm) at the shoulders, higher at the spider legs. Weirdly, his hands are placed in a way where the fingers point up, and he holds his weapon with his fingers grasping the base of the handle.

Rating: B+
