I don't know; I want to want this Slipstream, but that expression looks too friendly. It should be more of a smirk or a sneer. Doesn't feel very Decepticon-y.

A friendly grin coming from a villain sounds pretty deceptive to me.

That's how she gets ya. She comes on all "girl next door", invites you over for dinner, things go well. Next thing you know it LIGHTS OUT!

I think they were going for sneer.

[Evil Eye]

The image is kinda low-res, let's wait for the figure to actually get into people's hands before we judge it too harshly.

Right?? The expression in the artwork on the box would have worked well too. But I didn't dig that face too from day one...'nuff said!

And finally, Seibertronian Cyberpath sends the notification of the third Takara Tomy Transformers Legends member of the not-really-a-set via TFYuki, LG17 Blackarachnia, which reuses the Animated mold for a more Beast Wars accurate look. Check out the image below, featuring the box and the robot!

[Evil Eye]

It's not the new-mold BW Blackarachnia I wanted, but it's close enough. I mean, I'm sticking with my Animated Blackarachnia as it is (same mold after all), but this looks pretty good. I wish they'd given her more substantial front legs though.

Also, dat box art. Rawr. I guess Takara remembered that ol' Blacky is meant to be hot, poisonous and deadly.

As if they ever forgot.

Can't wait for the mini-comics! (and also the figure!! )

I see a poisonous, deadly deco on a hot car.

Which also never came about, though.

Dat robot mode, though...hardly the most flattering getup she's ever had...

(Also I owned Alternators Windcharger once, and his car bonnet broke off. The way he transforms it's just guaranteed to break.)

Anyway, topic. What do folks want to see from the Legends line next? I'd like to see them keep up with the fembot theme and show BM some love with some all-new molds- Botanica, BM Blackarachnia and a voyager class Strika. On a semi-related note, a decent Airachnid would go down a treat as well.

Twas the robot mode I meant. The purple looks poisonous, the black looks deadly, and the silver on the altmode looks hot.

So far, Legends has only been about using preexisting molds rather than making new ones, so I wouldn't expect to see new ones in this line.

True, but they could still make a Strika out of CW Rook. I mean they already have the same alt-mode and similar body style.

[RiddlerJ]

What if they took that Slipstream remold and started putting out repaints like with the male seekers. A whole lineup of Valkyries.

If the pack-in comics are any hint I think we may see a remold of Prime Airachnid into a mechanical shark for NAVI-ko.

Oh man, I love me some Black Widow

She was based on Legion Airachnid, not the Deluxe one.

Hmmmmmm... You're right. Maybe they could do a 2-pack with someone? T-AI from Chromia or Prime Arcee maybe? I'm just throwing ideas out right now.

Sadly, as you can see in the pic above, her english name for the japanese character is now Blackarachnia. No more black widow.

Dammit Avengers!

It's another case of using both the Japanese and English name in one go: in kana it's "Black Widow", in the Latin alphabet it's "Blackarachnia". Has nothing to do with trademarks if I may add.

I'm still going with Avengers. Makes for a better story

NAVI-ko's new body was like that of the Cybertron Satellite Town Commanders, being a non-toy design based on a Legion figure.
