	:Part of the second wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)\|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Blackarachnia transforms into a mechanical spider with some organic aesthetic. Many of her pointier parts are [[For safety reasons\|molded in softer plastic]] to keep unfortunate children from putting their eyes out. She comes with a <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grapnel grapnel]</span> [[Retractable string gimmick\|hook accessory]] with a jointed claw at the end of it; pulling out the string then pressing a button o the base's top quickly pulls the string back in. It may be mounted under her abdomen in spider mode or on her back in robot mode, via two different sets of pegs.

	: The spider's head is mis-transformed in the package, making the first step of her instructions initially confusing. Furthermore, the pedipalps will easily come off if manipulated too much, and her transformation requires that they be turned around completely. Because of this, they will often fall off over, and over, and ''over''....

	: Blackarachnia was released in the first wave of Takara's ''Animated'' line in 2010. Oddly, despite the sheer amount of metallic paint applied to virtually every other toy in the first few waves, Takara Blackarachnia is nearly identical to the Hasbro version, down to the gold Decepticon symbol on her collar.

	: This toy was later [[repurposing\|repurposed]] as the [[Blackarachnia (BW)#2005 IDW continuity\|IDW incarnation of Blackarachnia]], and was remolded and given a ''Beast Wars'' cartoon-accurate deco for the [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Legends\|''Legends'' toy]].
