Title:
Airachnid Vehicle Mode
Description:
Airachnid (Deluxe Class, 2012)
Series / Number: 1 / 012
Takara release date: August 25, 2012
Takara ID number: AM-18
Accessories: Rotor/Triple-bladed sword, two "electro-stingers” (Hasbro only), "Ida” Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)
Part of the fourth wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class toys, Airachnid transforms into a stealth helicopter with an opening canopy. She comes with two "electro-stingers”, while her rotors can detach from the base and be used as a sword. All three weapons can mount via 5 mm post onto her open palms or helicopter sides/her upper arms, and the stingers each feature two pegs and a peg-hole, allowing them to peg/be pegged in different ways.In robot mode, Airachnid has a severely limited range of articulation. Her head is unable to turn or tilt in any significant way due to her light-piping plastic being molded as the helicopter seat and being blocked by the surrounding cockpit, her hands cannot be swung down parallel to her panel arms due to a bit of the panel getting in the way, and while her legs were designed to have thigh swivels, her thigh panels and the helicopter kibble behind it block much of her leg articulation.Her stock photography depicts paint details on her legs and toes that were omitted on the final product.The TakaraTomy release, part of the sixth wave of Japanese Prime toys, omits some of her detail-based paint operations, replacing them with customer-applied foil stickers. (She even comes with an extra "spiderweb” sticker for you to stick wherever it amuses you to.) She has also been slightly retooled, giving her a pair of rocket-thrusters just under her rotor blades. Each thruster has a 5 mm post and hole as part of the line-wide Arms Micron gimmick. These additional post-holes actually make it pretty easy to re-create her "spider-lady” robot mode with an extra set of rotors, though the TakaraTomy version uses a darker purple plastic than the Hasbro version, meaning you need to buy two of either version unless you don’t care about mismatched rotor colors. Instead of her electro-stingers, she comes with an Arms Micron, Ida, a spider that transforms into a bladed shield-weapon-thing.
