I don't think the size difference will be significant enough to be cheaper.

As I said, it should but most likely not. The Cheetor price tag will likely be the catch-all range for the medium to small bots of Beast Wars.-Kanrabat- wrote:In fact, I bet she will be DOUBLE Cheetor's price if the trend continue.
Well there is no precedent for that trend within the Beast Wars MP line, so I doubt that.

If she comes with that stand she's displayed on and isn't just borrowing it from Dinobot (the web makes me think she does) you can bet she will be.

Which will really differentiate between Blackarachnia and Tarantulas, given he has a bulkier torso. So they won't need to hide as much of the thorax.

Yup. But I'm guessing Tarantulas is still several years off.
We still need to go through Waspinator, Scorponok, maybe Inferno, before they get to Tarantulas. Not to mention Rhinox, Rattrap and Tigatron to finish off the main season one Maximals.

I imagine if these are released by popularity, Airazor and Scorponok will probably be the last two.

Well.... she was my favorite basic figure and her role with Tigertron was important.

Cheetor/Shadow Panther were £70, a logical assessment would include Blackarachnia around that sum.

Dinobot and Megatron are both smaller than MP Ultra Magnus, yet Dinobot was twice that price, Megatron even more. There is no justification for it other than Takara has figured out that most of us nerds do not make smart financial decisions when it comes to our plastic crack.
You all enjoy this, I hope, but as it stands now, Hound will be my final official MP purchase.
