I'm not really familiar with the Reverb toy and I'm happy with the way this looks at the moment. If you wanted to, perhaps you could attach a black thread and grappling hook to his gun hand - I think that would be cool.
Yep! That's right - it's Tarantulas

I needed to make sure that I was making the character recognisable.

He is my attempt at making a Timelines'06 Tarantulas. I have been wanting to do the none toy characters that appeared in the Botcon'06 comic for a couple of years but I could not find a suitable mold for Tarantulas until the Reverb mold appeared.

Here is what I am aiming for:



The Reverb mold is already very Beast Wars like in its robot design and detailing, he even has a molded bug mouth and a Wolfang mask!

I plan to remove the leg plates for a more Cybertronian look to the bike mode and also to have him be able to extend his legs in for a TM2 type bike mode.

In regards to your grappling hook idea, that sounds awesome! I will see if I can find some way to implement it. I guess that its not too hard as long as I find a small hook like weapon from some other toy that's within scale.

Thanks again for your views !
