One of the better vehicle modes by far. Seeing a robot tarantula as big as you would be scary. Seeing it suddenly sprout wheels and become as fast as a motorbike? Terrifying
actually in season 3 episode 1 of beast wars, megatron next to optimus prime hes like so small. even humans are way bigger than him. so tarantulas is probably as big as a spider
This is one of my favorite Beast Wars figures too. Tarantulas is one of my favorite characters cause he was always doing his own thing no matter what anyone else said, he also has an awesome voice.
To be honest, my favorite transmetal is Rattrap, just cuz i love the character, and how honestly that his transmetal form is a simple update to his original form. Plus he has the most effective transmetal vehicle mode as a go cart drag racer type deal.
So we have a Kingdom series version of Tarantulus when he was in his original form, now I want to see thrm do something similar with his Transmetal form in the Legacy series.
How dare you sir, the whole series must be watched. Yea, there are a few in the first season you can skip, but there are so many episodes that really develop characters, build up the word, and stir up a sense of depth and mystery you might as well watch them all. No, it's not as good as season 2, but it really sets a great tone for the rest of the series.
5:38 You realize that his shoulders have tabs that click into the "shoulder pad" wheels, right? They're not meant to stay loose. I'll give you some slack since the back of the blister pack didn't mention that. Now I feel better about commenting on a 12 year old review!
Tarantulas is my favorite of the Transmetals too. I agree about the "shoulder pads," which is why I removed the rear wheel and can easily screw it back in anytime.
The one who rides him is Dinobot, in Code of Hero. Something Tarantulas has a huge problem with... For some reason, despite its shortcomings, everybody loves this toy. I own it and I feel like it's the best in my collection -even better than Prime FE Starscream or Music Label Soundwave! Do you think this toy can brainwash people?
@JNBakuBrawler ik i have seen and own the entire series of the beast wars.i was saying like an update like they did with Blackarachina and waspinator in Transformers animated.
if waspinator and blackarachnia were in transformers animated and beast wars was in 4000[3000] do you think they were the first beasts that could transform?
Tommy Fuller No. There's no connection between TFA and BW..... BW is set in the G1 continuity, where the Insecticons, Dinobots and original Predacons exist.
There's a groove in the shoulder that locks into the tab on the wheel halves. Also, there's a little double hinge in the shoulder that brings the arm out and forward to lock in better. One of my favorites too!
This has probably been stated at least a dozen times, but the trick to getting the wheel halves to stay in place is to swing the arms forward fully. The assembly they're on connects via a double hinge, and said hinge doesn't move as easily in the back than it does in the front.
The shoulder pads can be locked, the tab that has the shoulder joint has a tiny clip that locks into place against the wheel when the wheel is slightly rotated back. Fact ;)
Dinobot threatens to kill him if he didnt take Dinobot to the protohuman valley in the episode 'Code of Hero'. Tarantulas then sneak attacks him when they get there.

Best line:
Tigerhawk: You're insane!
Tarantulas: That's what they say *blubbering noise* Hahahaha!

okay, but what about a giant robotic mutant crab thats virtually immortal and can turn into a wall climbing tank.
@@theturnedtable2605 rampage is my favorite pred

Had this when I was kid (over 25 years ago) never thought I'd see it again! Amazing!
My first-ever transformers toy. So many fond memories of playing with this one. I especially loved his spinning saw-blade.
This is one of my favorite Beast Wars figures too. Tarantulas is one of my favorite characters cause he was always doing his own thing no matter what anyone else said, he also has an awesome voice.
I would love it if Hasbro could make a remake a new version of this figure. I love the way he looks.
Or the entire transmetal line, it was a really solid toy line
one of my favorite transmetals
you forgot chrome barney on rollerskates
+piplup2009 Which version. The one that's fine, or the one that snaps in half?
The G-Wing holy.
This is a solid figure, I love it! And would love to have it!

BEWARE THE SPYDERCYCLE O_O
I got him for my 10th birthday, and I loved the fact he turned into a motorcycle
I want a generations figure made of this
Rattrap ride him.. don't know in what episode, but I KNOW IT WAS HIM! hahahaha XD
the arms are on a double joint, and the plate the arms pivot off of tabs into the inside of the wheel to lock it into place
So we have a Kingdom series version of Tarantulus when he was in his original form, now I want to see thrm do something similar with his Transmetal form in the Legacy series.
Hey, the Rampage vehicle mode works well.
Yes Dinobot dose ride him like Rattrap in “Code of Hero”
My shoulderpads have a tab you can stick them in to make them stay. Plug the arms right into the shoulder pads.
FYI the rhinox transmetal vehicle mode was a snowmobile not a tank
My cousin had this one, I was so jealous. But that's always how it is, I had a bunch of them that he wanted and he had a bunch of them that I wanted.

Tarantulas was my favorite character from beast wars
It was Dinobot that rode him :P
Actually,it was Dinobot who rode on him. Dinobot kinda forced Tarantulas to drive him.
Hey Baltmatrix, do you have any plans to review Transmetal Waspinator?
they should make a Decepticon version of Tarantulas,like they did with Blackarachina or Waspinator
If there was orangish yellow in the middle and around the eyes it would of definitely pop
Tarantulas was badass.
That one bot that ride tarantulas was the first Dinobot.
Where can I find one?

that robot is dinobot form the ep code of hero that was riding tranacilas
"Shut up and accelerate!"
dinobot rode him.
Crawling in my skin!
these wounds they will not heal!
@XelhosTallyn i was just about to remark on that too because i remember always doing that as well
dude his soo BAMF !!!1 i soo want lol
Arguably, Waspinator has the best Vehicle Mode of the Transmetals.
VERY arguable.
Tarantulas is my favorite of the Transmetals too. I agree about the "shoulder pads," which is why I removed the rear wheel and can easily screw it back in anytime.
@MrHarryscreations but remember they went back in time
@vecterprimus22 They are already Predacons..... (Decepticon descendants as beasts')
Love the trans metal toys, they are actually show accurate

rno Given who it's a toy of, yes. LOL
i love this figure and character , but the best of all is i have 2 of him, complete and in 100% perfect condition and only paid $1 each.
So did Terrorsaur before he died, i always saw terrorsaur as a homage to Starscream. Also like Starscream he seemed to be the air commander.
@JNBakuBrawler ik i have seen and own the entire series of the beast wars.i was saying like an update like they did with Blackarachina and waspinator in Transformers animated.
@Gar8mar8a Tarantulas is a Predacon.
if waspinator and blackarachnia were in transformers animated and beast wars was in 4000[3000] do you think they were the first beasts that could transform?
Tommy Fuller No. There's no connection between TFA and BW..... BW is set in the G1 continuity, where the Insecticons, Dinobots and original Predacons exist.
3:09 it was dinobot in " code of hero "
Dinobot rode him in sesson btw dinobot made into the transformers hall of fame
dinobot rides him.. :)
Dinobot rod him before his heroic last stand
Dinobot rode him once and on rattrap many times
@Gar8mar8a What do you think?
I regret selling mine
the arms do tab onto the shoulder wheel halves
How?
Nvm I figured it out
daily motion
I don’t like the head sculpt, but it’s ok (even tho it’s not show accurate)
Better than the Blackarachnnia
i could have sworn that Tranatulas was a girl. maybe it was that in the american version.
aesome
or cool
Dinobot was the one who righted him
Then he single-handedly took on all the Predacons. Then beat them all except for Megatron that has to be one of the best episodes.
@@83shadow3 I left this comment so long ago I don't even remember the context of why I said it
I don't like spiders
Freak
มันเหมือน ซอยไช้ใหม ไช้ แต่มึงด่ากูเวลากูเข้าไปดูซอยมึงแค่จะเดิ่นเข้าแพน่กtakaratomyกูไม่กล้าเดินเลย
I never had a Taratulas figure but I love the character. He's one of the few BW characters that I wish they'd do a new version of for Generations
gigator39 yes
We are getting him in legacy!
One of the highlights if this figure, is that all 3 nodes are very show accurate
There's a groove in the shoulder that locks into the tab on the wheel halves. Also, there's a little double hinge in the shoulder that brings the arm out and forward to lock in better. One of my favorites too!

This guy looks like he is about to whoop some ass! The colors work well and he looks great.
I still have this guy, Tarantulas is one of my favorite characters from the series. This was/is still one of my favorite figures.
I love how the spider legs make him look like and Indian god in robot mode. One of the most gorgeous beast wars toy ever
I got this figure when my brother have this figure back in 1997.
IIRC you can pull the wheel halves up, extend them on a rail, then tilt them backwards to sit better on his shoulders.
It took me about 5 years to realize the shoulder pads lock in place like that.XD
My favorite Beast Wars from when I was a kid :)
The shoulder pads can be locked, the tab that has the shoulder joint has a tiny clip that locks into place against the wheel when the wheel is slightly rotated back.
Fact ;)
he is my fav predacon
This too is my favourite Transmetal...just barely beating Rampage...both are amazing figures but I gotta give it to Tarantulas
he's like the soundwave of beast wars.
Tarantulas is badass
yes
Shame his death was a disservice to how great of a character he was, his death was also kinda brutal.
you have to pull the arms all the way out
then you can see there is a === on the arm part and a ---- on the wheel part
and you can put them together
That sounds like a very Tarantulas thing to do.
Tarantulas my favorite character.
spiders!!!! looks like someone watches the Nostalgia Critic
i agree that Tarantulas was definitely one of the strongest characters ever in Transformers
It was Dinobot in Code of Heroes he rides him in that Episode. Ratrap was my favourite TM figure but I do love Tarantulas he is somewere in my Atic
Tarantulas is awesome! They should put him in Transformers Prime or something.
I've noticed that it has these little tabs on the wheels and little slots in the shoulders that line up and fit into place. just helping you out
legs are multiple kick stands lol ..... it was Dinobot who rode him.
Transmetal Rhinox was a snow cat/rhino and the Terrorsaur was a vtol jet
Snow cat?
(Energon flashbacks)
Hey Balt (or anyone who owns Tarantulas), can you fit 5mm weapon pegs into the holes on his spider legs?
He actually had a jet alt mode back on Cybertron.
If you just focus on the upper torso...
He LITERALLY looks like balck Panther. A weird, 90s, Mutant Black Panther.
oh yes. a bug and a motorcycle. were have we seen that before, waspinator?
Dinobot threatens to kill him if he didnt take Dinobot to the protohuman valley in the episode 'Code of Hero'. Tarantulas then sneak attacks him when they get there.
I agree
You can lock the shoulder pads with the pegholes on his arms.
what do your toy say 'pop'
Who's your favorite beast wars and machines character
Reptisaurus King don't dare talk about beast machines I hate that show
