Talk:Blackarachnia (BW)
I question the placement of the BW Manga between the US BW and BM material. We have been aligning most entries according to continuity, then series. (See Hot Shot (UT), for example. Cartoon:Armada, Energon, Cybertron; then Comic:Armada, Energon.) That way, the summaries of stories flow logically and chronologically. I would probably prefer to move the BW Manga section after Universe. --ItsWalky 00:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Agreed and done. Why is Legends seperate? Is it for the Armadqa tale? is she even IN The Armada tale? Or are was counting Furman's contribution as a seperate continuity? In EITHER case, the banner Legends is an inaccurate container-continuity for the tales it contains, becase a character might appear in SEVERAL Legends tales, in multiple continuities. -Derik 01:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
In the case of Legends, I'd say put the story/stories they appear in's title in italics as a header above the descriptive paragraph. - User: M Sipher
Japanese Voice actress
So I'm looking at the decomposing corpse of TFPulp. http://web.archive.org/web/20041019195546/www.tfpulp.com/archive/seiyuu/seiyuu.html She's all the way down at the bottom. Says Black Widow's voice actress was "Ryoka Yuzuki aka Kanori Kadomatsu aka Ayumi Nagashii". Ryoka Yuzuki would appear to be her real name. Is the one listed, Iwata, another alias? --DrSpengler 20:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Blackarachnia's Telekinesis and it's connection to Tarantulas
I'm seriously getting tired of being accused of vandalism whenever I post that BA's TM2 telekinesis is likely a product of her mind link with Tarantulas upgraded. I've been told repeatedly that it's an 'unsubstantiated rumor', but I've seen similar theories about multiple entries in this site that have far less evidence to back them up than this has.
While it's not stated directly, the evidence in-show obviously sets up the mind link as the source of the telekinesis: first, the link was stated as psychic in nature, not electronic or otherwise artificial, which is why Megatron didn't detect any transmissions being made when the link was being used. It was also very powerful, and worked both ways; not only was Tarantulas able to speak through BA with it and cause her mental pain, but she also acquired a lot of information from his memories, information that she retained after the link was severed. Plus, when BA threatened to kill herself via energon radiation if the link wasn't terminated, her anguish was visibly shared through the link by Tarantulas, and even he noted that, if BA did terminate herself, the link would've ensured his death, as well. There's also the debatable scene where Tarantulas forces himself inside BA's head after he's burned by Inferno, and had to download himself into his new TM body from BA's noggin, which could meaning that the link was established by his literally inhabiting her mind. Oh, and besides mutant spark-aided healing, I don't recall the show ever stating that the TM2 process granted a Transformer brand new abilities that they didn't have before, just upgrades to what they already had, meaning that the potential for BA's telekinesis had to already be there to begin with, and since BA was never even hinted at having the required mental faculties for psychokinesis, even before the mind-link, where else did she get it from?
Yes, it's a theory, but it's a theory blatantly supported by the cartoon. Her eyes even glow the same color as when Tarantulas gained control of her during the link when she levitated the girder to dispatch Rampage, for crying out loud. If that doesn't solidify the "spider mindmeld alien upgrade" theory, then I dunno what does.66.233.183.59 22:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
