Here's another oldie... almost 20 years old now, that I uncovered while going through some stuff - Transmetal 2 Black Arachnia.
The 90's were a very strange time for the Transformers franchise, and the Beast series was your G1 I kind of feel bad for you because while you might have had the better show than us in the 80's, the toys your had were certainly bizarre.
For those not in the know, Black Arachnia was a character from the Beast Wars series, first starting as a Predacon, and eventually becoming a Maximal due to I believe due to her hots for Silverbolt, the flying Wolf/Eagle hybrid, but discovering she was originally a Maximal to begin with before being corrupted by the Megatron.
The Transmetal 2 line was the third series of toys for the Beast Wars era, before the REALLY strange toys of Beast Machines, with Black Arachnia upgrading her original body to a Transmetal when she stole the technology from Megatron.
The toy itself became somewhat infamous, first for being one of the few Transformer figures with a "voluptuous female figure", and for the first batch, parents that bitched because the blue thing on her chest was removable (later batches had this blue part glued on).
Enough about history - how does the toy fare?
Well in spider mode it's not bad. Sure she looks super tacky in pink chromed plastic, but that was the character on the show.. I don't think I've ever seen any toy line since use this much chrome on their figures. Also, considering the age of this figure and the horror stories of the chrome flaking off the figure, mine seems to be in pretty good shape.
In robot mode, it's kind of a disaster. Black Arachnia resembles her on screen counterpart, but one of the biggest differences is the size of her comical looking shoulder pads... they were nowhere as giant in the show.
Her face sculpt is... OK, I guess. I mean, it's definitely more on point than her first toy, which was a repaint of the Tarantulas, the other spider character.
The Beast era brought about the wide spread use of ball joints on figures, so the articulation was certainly leaps and bound above what I grew up with. The problem is that due to the loose hip joints, this figure can't really stand on it's own, and the giant backpack she has consisting of her spider shell and legs just bogs her down.
Her weapon consists of what basically is her web shooter, which fits with the character and is generally acceptable. Of course, this is counteracted by a completely useless and invasive gimmick, being her spin kick ability.
So, overall a rather finicky toy that is reminder of the strange design choices of the Beast era, though having said that if I could track down one of those Botcon 2001 Arcee figures for a good price I wouldn't mind having it.
Black Arachnia would continue to get shafted in the toy representation area until the Animated series, when she finally got a toy that was a good representation of her show self, which was itself later repainted as the Beast era character as part of the Japanese only Legends line.
