Tarantulas was repurposed from the "Fox Kids" version of the original Tarantulas.

A redeco of the Transmetal Tarantulas toy in grays, silver, and black. He and a Transmetal Cheetor redeco were part of the "Fox Kids" toys, so called for the advertisements for the Fox channel on the packaging (as the Beast Wars cartoon had moved there from syndication). Internal Hasbro documents have listed this toy as "Steel Force Tarantulas",<ref>https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.toys.transformers/C30fV9dqOK0/gPO8D3N_PAUJ</ref> a name that did not make it to final packaging.

These colors were used to depict Tarantulas in the Primeval Dawn, The Wreckers, and Universe comics. With the toy's limited availability, secondary-market pricing for this item due to its fictional use has gone up.
