00:00Well, I hate spiders so much that I decided I'm going to live in a wooden box for a while,
00:05and it's right beside me, isn't it?
00:09I think I had better luck with the spider. Also...
00:15Oh, Canada!
00:16Arachnid was featured in the 2024 animated film Transformers 1.
00:20Set before the war, Arachnid worked under the orders of Sentinel Prime, acting as its personal right hand, ears, and
00:26eyes.
00:26In 2026, she was introduced in Studio Series as a deluxe class figure.
00:31The difference between Black Arachnia and Arachnid is the air part, an over-designed alien VTOL almost entirely dressed in
00:38black.
00:39I can nitpick the inaccuracies, like the toes sticking out or the guns not reaching past the nose, and yes,
00:45I had to look it up to ruin it.
00:47But it's over-designed and everything feels like it goes into place.
00:49The legs use every twist to form the wings with dark rotors inside.
00:53Check out the main one, framed with two of the spider legs in all these joints.
00:59The rotor spins, but you can feel it tapping something, still shocked it functions.
01:02The body is covered like a segmented shell, the nose are made from the leg cover, so technically that's a
01:07thigh gap.
01:08And there's gunners on the wings, bottom, and you can attach more to the side.
01:12The other spider legs just hang there, but it keeps the vehicle upright.
01:16Nah, the only thing I'm annoyed with is all the text molded into the plastic.
01:20Girl, I got your digits.
01:22It's such a crazy, weird, almost sporadic alt form, but the way the back works, the thighs fit into place,
01:28I kinda like it.
01:29Also, does anyone else see a weird mask with the rotors being the eyes?
01:33Robot mode!
01:35When I saw the listing, I was shocked she was a deluxe with all the junk in the trunk.
01:40Clearly not for the size next to Alita, but with all the creepy limbs, the two hang down with a
01:45ball joint and two hinges, while the larger ones use a ball joint and four hinges each.
01:50Most hinges have at least one notch to softlock into place, but the top ones barely reach for her to
01:55walk in all fours.
01:56I think the thin elements, non-conventional alt mode, and lack of outgoing paint help keep the budget down for
02:02the engineering, but she's still thick in all the right spots.
02:06Don't judge me, you know I'm right!
02:08The large shoulder pads have the random red markings.
02:10There's dark gunmetal, light gunmetal, and silver, but I wish the chest had some purple.
02:15It kinda looks like Beast Hunter's Starscream.
02:17Those thigh covers can't come off, but she's working those cargo shorts.
02:21Surprisingly, her bipedal legs are stable, the feet are wide enough, and I love the gaps in the legs.
02:27She has more holes than-
02:29After Starscream's bloated allergic reaction, I think they did the head rather well.
02:33All the swooping components, her face structure, paint on multiple eyes, and the long alien back.
02:38It looks like something from Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
02:41Sadly, there's no way to open it, turn it, and it looks like an anteater.
02:45Did someone say, ART THE ELECTED?!
02:46Ball joint head, ball joint shoulders, ball joint elbows, ball joint hips, rotation below knee bend, and another bend.
02:51Also, a butterfly joint that I forgot to mention.
02:54Keep in mind, that's with all the tendril-like murder drone's limbs on the back, so I'm not mad there's
03:00no waist joint.
03:01She looks good next to her boy toy.
03:03Let's take a look at the accessories.
03:05She has two blasters that she can hold or plug on the arms.
03:08You can keep them on for the transformation, and there's bonus flip-out handguns.
03:12With this leftover tail, you can reconfigure it into the Seeker Slicer from the film.
03:17Like Prime's head, or Megatron's foot, I love these hidden, partially transformed features.
03:22Transformers 1 and Studio Series can be very hit or miss, and when I heard it was a deluxe,
03:27I was wondering how much they would pack in for the engineering.
03:30Any shortcomings, I can understand, because this figure is already doing a lot.
03:34It handles well, and looks pretty good while doing it.
03:37But I hate spiders, so get the zapper!
03:41That was supposed to zap, but okay.
04:09Not to waste the็ตenium.
04:10Not to waste.
04:11Have a stop.
04:11Iduko.
