We have two pieces of Transformers WFC Kingdom news for you today. Firstly, Ton Ton's review of deluxe Blackarachnia came out. While some are equating this to a budget masterpiece, it can also look like your standard deluxe with your standard amount of paint and a beast mode that looks worse than the Masterpiece version. You'll let us know which way you gravitate when describing the figure.
We also have what could be our first glimpse at the Titan Class ark toy that will be released in the Kingdom line. We see it in ark mode and we see Teletraan 1. The image comes from Marco Madrys.
We thank fellow seibertronians Wonko-the-sane, Sabrblade, Dominus Prime and Sol magnus for informing us of these two awesome pieces of news.

i think an ark would be cool but i think it would be hard to display on a shelf with the other figures
maybe hang it from the ceiling and also they should do the nemisis as well

In TonTon's review, it seems that Blackarachnia has a swappable(?) facemask:
based on the standard face of the Blackarachnia/Tarantulas mold that was never used in media, since the show gave Tarantulas the mutant head and made up a new head for Blackarachnia:

Black Arachnia looks incredible. I especially like the mutant mask (and hope it stays for the final figure).
Conversely, the Ark will need to be INCREDIBLE for me to get it. At this poiint I've accepted that it won't be Animated Omega, so hey, at least the $150 that would have gone to the titan can go to the Beast Warriors

Ah god that Spider mode is a tad too realistic for me, I have a major Spider phobia so I can't add her to my collection, as much as I like how the show and how these Beast Wars figures look I'm thinking of skipping them anyways and I don't want to start a collection and not finish it, to me there is no point in having a Beast Wars collection based off the show but not having Blackarachnia and Tarantulas (if he comes out) in said collection.
I might still get Cheetor if only because of Cyberverse since I didn't get the Cyberverse Cheetor figures.

For anyone wondering why Blackarachnia doesn't have the well known hourglass-shaped marking on her alt mode, it is accurate to the real-world spider. Black widows have some variation of a three spot pattern on the topside of the abdomen, just like this toy. The hourglass marking is instead on the underside of the abdomen, where you'll only find arms on BA.
Pretty much confirms that real-world accuracy is the priority for the beast modes of Kingdom, if it wasn't obvious with Rattrap and Cheetor.

Definitely digging that blackarachnia. I actually digging the spider mode, and the robot mode looks good too, with a pretty wide range of articulation. Also, her backpack seems the most compact among wfc fembot molds so far.

Wow! It's a good thing that Kingdom Blackarachnia comes with a second face, because she's just blown mine clear off!
That is a great looking figure in robot mode, though more paint apps can always help. Maybe they'll sneak her into the Netflix line too like Cheetor? The spider mode is good for a Deluxe Class toy. I accept the yellow robot parts just hanging out under the abdomen. The Masterpiece version didn't do any better (and may have done worse, in fact). I can even overlook her butherface her butt face in spider mode. I can't wait to see Optimus Primal now.

Not sure why real world animals are the focus for kingdom when wfcs vehicles weren't realistic for the majority. Black arachnia def looks better in some ways over the masterpiece but the fangs don't quite work and it's a bit of a let down the gun not contributing to her beast form or being a functioning Grapple. The paint on the gun kinda looks similar to what some of the paint she is lacking on her bot mode so dunno if they will netflix it or another telemocha version at some point. The mutant head wooop very happy and it's kind of weird that they include it for her and not cheetor (maybe just the predacons will have them? or just her). Her lower waist in bot mode looks better than mp too. Def buy, just a shame cheetor won't be and not having a complete team is going to be noticeable 
The only way to display the Ark is by papermacheing some mountains to have it sticking out of. Robot mode will be wasted on it for me (unless it was animated omega).

This actually isn't the mutant head Blackarachnia has, it's the "normal" head of the original BA/Tarantulas mold; the mutant head is what they used for Tarantulas in the show, and Blackarachnia's show head was made up.

It would be nice to see The Last Autobot, realised as a figure. Commander or Titan Class could work really well.
On the subject of BA and her original face.
I've seen a lot of this:
Which to me, highlights people that didn't have the original Tarantulas/BA figure. Ignoring the box art, her model face is on the original toy.
Compare: The crest on her forehead, the helmet/hair on the rest of the head. If it were, say, all the same colour? Plus the arch around her mouth, looks an awful lot like where the hinge was on the original toy, for flipping between the two heads. Even the two "horns" on the Mutant Mask/Tarantulas head, are on the back of BA's head in the show.
It was just recoloured, but her show face was always on the original toy. It wasn't "made up" from nothing.

Blackarachnia is an instant buy. I might even get a second one so I can paint up the first one to look more show accurate. I was even contemplating designing an alternate head for her before the reveal of the swappable face. I might even design two or three with different expressions. Homg this is everything I could ever possibly want and more.
Oh uh yeah Arc sounds cool too.

We say the Ark is going to be in this line, but would it be the whole thing? I've noticed they've started to push iconic corridors and stuff with the Star Wars line now. So could this be a painted backdrop with a couple of consoles and bits from the show? I know a 3P console already exists*. This might just be HasTak playing catch-up again with an official release.

An ark that transforms? Not sure what that would be like, but the idea reminded me of those cardboard TF bases Hasbro sold back in the 80s. Can Hasbro rerelease those (I think there were 2 different ones)? Or maybe this ark is modular and each piece can open up and connect to form the interior of the Autobot headquarters. (Hey, I can dream!)

Warpath is probably not as good as I would have liked him to be, but not unacceptable. He's definitely shorter than Moist.

Nearly perfect for what I'm looking for in a cartoon minibot. Taller than Bee, shorter than a G1 Deluxe Car. Not thrilled about the forearms, but it means the transformation is even closer to the original toy than I expected. Anyone that was hoping for a taller figure will have to settle for the old Generations one.

Tank treads suffer from looking too big in bot mode, need compressing in some impossible way. The feet were kinda like small roller treads to me in the cartoon and it might have helped having the angled side of the treads facing outwards on the forearms rather than it just being a white block. modern transformers might have gained poseability but they feel like they are sacrificing some of the wizardy that could be applied to transformations. Feels like it needs some feet fillers otherwise it's going to have to be stood sationary to hide it.
I'm happy with it size wise and it will probably look good in tank mode paired with Omega Supremes base mode.
If Hasbro do a MP of this guy I'm sure it will more than rival third partys.
No shield or parts forming, not sure if it could have benefited from it but it looks fairly good as is.

This looks like a fine figure, but there's nothing about it that screams to me that this is such an upgrade over the previous figure that I've got to get him. And so I won't.

I'm guessing the leaker saw his butt flap pop off and just assumed it turned into a shield.
I like it. The size is pretty much spot on, I wouldn't have been happy if he was the same size as Cliffjumper, but I know there's others that didn't want him to be the size of a normal deluxe so it's a fine compromise. Engineering-wise he has a nice sense of complexity compared to Cheetor (who didn't need to be that complex to begin with).

I don't think I'm going to get him, I have the Generations Warpath and I'm more than happy to just stick with that. Like yeah the extra articulation is nice and Kingdom Warpath isn't a H-tank (even though I still like the Generations tank more in spite of that), but I just don't feel motivated to cough up the $20 to get him when I have the Generations one and I like the look of that more. Except for the head. The G1 head looks a lot more like a guy who would run around yelling "KABLAM! KAPOW! ZOWEE!" than the serious looking Generations head.

I'm so shocked with Hasbro - the king of repaints. They do not mske a mold unless they can milk at least 10 different versions of repaints out of it. So ypu would thibk they would have took the horrible waste of a chatacter slot of Earthrise Voyager Megatron and made him Warpath, right? That was my very first thought when I heard about this Megatron 6 months ago. It was an obvious no brainer they would reutilize the mold and actually give us what we want...A nice large sized g1 accurate non "H" tank, but one that has full treads. Hasbro, why on God's earth would you spend and waste money on a new smaller mold when all you had to do was add a new head and some red paint on Eathrise Megs and call it a day. I would have so wanted that. But now that you instead made this smaller mold, what are you going to do with it? How are you going to adhear to your cheap policies and reutilize this mold into more characters? The only one I can think of is Blitzwibg, but I wouldn't even buy that one because it would be too small. You should have just used Earthrise Voyager Megatron as a mold for Warpath and retool it for Blitzwing. Such a wasted opportunity and a waste of money developing a smaller mold for Warpath that cannot be reutilized for any other mainstream G1 character.

Definitely down for one of these. Worst case scenario I’m not into him, I’ll swap out 2010 Warpath and put this new one on my tank shelf along with my other tank Transformers and expended tank rounds (don’t ask how I got ‘em, let’s just say I’ve become adept at “tactically acquiring” while out in field missions).

Honestly I think you could get more mileage out of this Warpath than Megatron. You can squeeze out obscure dudes like Gutcruncher (who I’m really hoping for) and Gobots Treds and maybe other characters. Megatron is so unique to himself that it’s hard to do anyone else other than different versions of himself, it was the biggest reason why I didn’t buy Combiner Wars Warpath. The recently revealed Selects G2 version is pretty good, and I could see them doing the purpley G2 Hero version as well, and if they’re feeling really saucey maybe even do a Robots in Disguise Bludgeon

Mean green is the obvious choice... Okay so I dunno his name but the ehobby dimension explorer guy would even fit the Kingdom theme.

...okay, I've missed a bit. Let's see here...
Cheetor, Blackarachnia, and Warpath all look great, first off, I'm buying all of them. Ark would be cool, but I have yet to buy a Titan figure and I don't intend to start now.
In terms of a battle-damaged Netflix Cheetor, there is an advantage here over the repaints of the G1 guys in that there were episodes of BW where they actually had battle damage. If they do anything resembling the systems damage from Dark Voyage, that would I think be best case scenario.
Nothing on Tarantulas in the leak of the entire mainline, so he'll have to be an exclusive of some sort.
Having gone and fact-checked the shield leaks:
Leaker 1 (OG Kingdom leaker): Shield exists, those unhappy about Cliffjumper won't like it
Leaker 2 (Credible from Siege/ER): Shield exists, more akin to Trailbreaker's in that it isn't a giant piece of his altmode, around buckler size, pegs into underside of tank to help hold it together, TonTon is missing the piece entirely or is going to make an entire second video about it because he missed it in this one like the Blackarachnia mask.
There's also the leaked Slammer, which is currently theorized to be a retool of this Warpath, and a Voyager Warpath would have been too big anyway (unless this was a figure of WfC/FoC Warpath out of nowhere).

Warpath looks nice in both modes, but I am disappointed that he's going to be smaller than most other Deluxes. It's gone from my "Absolutely definitely will buy" list to low down on my "Hmmm....maybe" list.
