Arachnid
From MediaWiki
- Arachnid is a Predacon from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
An utterly massive creature, Arachnid serves as both a near-unstoppable warrior and a battle base for its fellow Predacons.
It may or may not be sentient. Who knows?

- Arachnid (Microverse playset, 1997)
- Arachnid was released as part of the Microverse line, Hasbro’s miniatures line meant to compete with Galoob’s “Micro Machines” (before Hasbro’s purchase of Galoob). It transforms from a spider into a treaded base unit with a gun emplacement on a posable arm and gripper claws. Its abdomen opens up to reveal a landing strip and volcano-like hangar for two insectoid mini-vehicles. It came with two micro-figures, Megatron in his gator body and Razorbeast.
- There are two variants; some use yellow plastic for the mini-vehicles and other accessories, while later releases use bright green plastic.
