Airachnid

[SilverDragon]

Hasbro has trademarked a new name-AIRACHNID.

What could this be? A new character is the most likely option, but it could also be a specific class of TF or something.

I like the triple-changing helicopter/spider idea in the thread.

Maybe this is in the new series.

Probably a scout sized flying thing that turns into a spider for recon/infiltration.

[Tabias Prime]

a flying spider... possible beast wars series..

[MV75]

Nah, just a transforming spidey-chopper (spiderman) like those old hotwheels styled toys with the web as the rotor blades.

[Starscream212]

Its the return of Beast Wars!

[Firestorm]

Please be new beast wars please be new beast wars please be new beast wars ....
but in all seriousness it's probably a character from the new cartoon series that is either A) a spider with wings that transforms into a robot (FUZOR) B) a tripple changer fly spider robot or C) it's a drone scout thing like those little insect guys from ROTF
hmmm will it be organic (beast wars) Techno-organic (Beast machines/ Animated) or completly robotic (Like G1 and ROTF Ravage)
although that flying spider base thing that someone in that thread mentioned sounds kinda cool (i can just see tarantulus and blackarachnia laughing maniacally as they shoot down all the maximals, and waspinator
my main guess is the drone thing
still hoping it's a new beast wars series character for a new beast wars series

I'd like to see a realistic beast mode... we haven't had a realistic beast moded Transformer in a long time. Robotic/cybernetic beast modes =/= robots in disguise. :/

I think this name is rather lame, but I'm used to lame names being assigned to Beast TFs
e.g.
"Cheetor" the cheetah
"Rhinox" the rhino
"Waspinator" the wasp
"K-9" the Doctor's faithful robotic dog
"Tarantulas" the tarantula (that's not a name, it's a plural!)
"Dinobot" the dinosaur who transforms into a robot but isn't a subgroup
"Insecticon" guess what he is?
...all incredibly LAME names. As much as I really love Beast Wars, it had some pret-ty poor names.

Could you imagine if we had such lame names in G1? We'd have:
Bumblebee = Volks
Starscream = Fi-Tor
Whirl = Cop-Tur
Wreck Gar = Cy-Kill
Beachcomber = Buggy Man
Astrotrain = Loco Spacey
That's right!

Funny how I see universe cheetor at my local Toyworld...... Saw it last week in fact.

"Insecticon" guess what he is?

A virus? Oh wait, Insecticon is what you said.

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah alright, Universe Cheetor and Dinobot do have realistic beast modes. Although technically Dinobot isn't a realistic velociraptor, but neither was the original BW Dinobot either. Both are more based on the inaccurate image of the velociraptor as seen in Jurassic Park (which some people argue more closely (but still inaccurately) resembles a Deinonychus). Mutant Beast Razorclaw has a more accurate elongated snout and shorter stance, but still no feathers. What the pluck is up with that, eh? ;D

[Gutsman Heavy]

in JPs defence at the time it was written the Deinonychus was known as Velociraptor antirrhopus. But they didn't correct it for the film, fair enough since Velociraptor is a cooler name.

hmm that was kinda off topic.

So a new Spider-man TF?
