Title:
WFC-K5 Blackarachnia
Description:
Blackarachnia (Deluxe Class, 2020)
Hasbro ID number: WFC-K5
TakaraTomy ID number: KD-05
TakaraTomy release date: April 24, 2021
Accessories: ”Poison Anchor”
Part of the first wave of War for Cybertron: Kingdom Deluxe Class toys, Blackarachnia transforms from a robot (mostly) accurate to her original appearance in the Beast Wars cartoon into a more realistic approximation of a black widow spider compared to previous toys. Her robot mode has some notable color differences: mainly, her spider legs are black instead of bronze, likely for realistic accuracy. Her transformation scheme shares many elements with her Masterpiece toy, albeit simplified. Due to that, her robot mode shoulders blatantly hang beneath the spider mode’s head. The spider mode features ball jointed articulation in each of its eight legs.
Blackarachnia is equipped with her signature ”Poison Anchor” missile cannon. The cannon can be stored under the spider mode, acting as a place to apply pressure to secure the robot arms when moving the spider legs. She is one of the few War for Cybertron Trilogy Deluxe Class-and-up molds without a waist swivel. Whether by coincidence or design, Blackarachnia’s spider legs can accommodate blast effects on their ends, recreating the spider leg guns she had in the original Beast Wars show.
A common but minor point of breakage lies in a small tab that connects Blackarachnia’s chest to her torso. On many copies, the tab sits very securely into its port right out of the box. The tab’s length is not entirely suitable for the motion required of the piece for the transformation. Thus, the tab will very likely snap off no matter how carefully one approaches it. A later running change for the toy shortens the tab, fixing the issue.
Much like most of the toyline, Blackararchnia comes with one of four possible holographic Golden Disk cards for her wave, which reveals a possible destiny of a key character, Blackarachnia being one of them. Despite being a wave 1 release, she was a commonly-found pegwarmer throughout the entire Kingdom toyline’s time on store shelves.
