未懂給真人化妝,先學給玩具化妝。
"It is a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver."
Blackarachnia,Beast Wars野獸戰爭中最後生還(包括Megatron在內)的7人之一,Maximal陣中不可多得的女將。
根據《Transformers Ultimate Guide(變形金剛終極手冊)》描述:
更大更快更致命!Blackarachnia仍舊更加英勇地依靠自己的本能進行戰斗。機械人形態下的她附加了一個加速裝置;而蜘蛛形態下其體積與腿長更超越以往。她可以產生出對於金屬具腐蝕作用的蜘蛛網。這種高韌性的網,不僅可以幫助Blackarachnia捕獲獵物,而且可以作為其保護自己的盾牌。
Beast Wars結尾本是完滿結局,另一場劫數卻接在Beast Machines開始。
野獸戰爭中生還的幾位Maximal,懵懂之際在Cybertron上遭受成批Vehicon機械兵截殺。對於此事前發生的一切毫無印象。
與其他3位同伴一樣,Blackarachnia的身體被打回原形,變形功能被封鎖,並受到病毒感染,短期內未解決將永久停機。
直到Optimus Primal受到Oracle的感召,接受Reformating重新格式化,全新半機械半有機形態蛻變重生!
更有攻擊性的蜘蛛形態,左右各3只複眼。
這種半有機半機械身軀下,要進行變形不再隨心所欲發出指令機械式變形,而是注重精神與內心的調節,獲得兩形態的平衡,,一句“I am transformed !”,奇妙轉換。
全新的Blackarachnia,人形狀態之下依然有6只眼,必要時更好統觀全局。
身材繼續惹火,而且似乎比以往任一形態更輕盈敏捷。
武器是利用地面傳播電擊以及多種變化的蛛網~
"撒網技巧":Blackarachnia如同擲鐵餅一樣將蜘蛛網向敵人拋出,膨脹的網能夠起到捕獲和消耗Vehicons的作用。這些鐵餅狀的蜘蛛網亦可留下來作為陷阱使用。
—《Transformers Ultimate Guide》
感染病毒而失去部分的Maximal們連丟失的兩位同伴也幾乎忘記。
直到愛人Silverbolt的形象隱約在記憶中泛起。
Blackarachnia為此找到Maximal在Beast Wars之後從遠古地球回程Cybertron的博派飛船,終於確立兩位失蹤者Rhinox以及Silverbolt的存在。
Vehicons領隊之一Thrust數次的意外相救令Blackarachnia一度以為其就是Silverbolt。於是想方設法證明一切。
"Saving me AGAIN? What is your defect?
"This place.." (bad flashbacks) "You..." (Blackarachnia flashbacks) "I almost remember."
—Thrust, just being confusing
最後大失所望地發現,原來Thrust原本的火種卻是Warpinator。
"You mean I risked everything to save this... this.. this... scrap heap?! Eww!"
"That mean spider-bot not go steady with Waspinator?"
—Blackarachnia and Waspinator, the wrong Scott McNeil character.
失望之餘卻又意外驚喜發現另一位多次幾乎置自己於死地的Vehicons空軍領隊Jetstorm才是真正的Silverbolt。
點滴的生命之水換回Silverbolt短暫的清醒,轉眼間其理智又變回毫不留情的Jetstorm。
"Blackarachnia. Oh, dark poison of my heart!"
—Silverbolt's first words when reactivated in Jetstorm's body.
Beast Wars,Silverbolt傾盡心力、一片癡情將Blackarachnia從Predacon拉回Maximal。來到Beast Machines,這對鴛侶考驗還未完,今次輪流轉,Blackarachnia用盡一切辦法以獲Silverbolt的重生。
通過Rattrap利用火種抽取器改造之DNA掃描器,並將Jetstorm引至生命之泉,最終Silverbolt以Cybertron古老已絕跡的鷲鳥形態重生。
雖然神智已回,但過往被改造的一段經歷令Silverbolt陷入迷惘及自我懷疑。Blackarachnia仍然于一旁貼心支持與鼓勵。
"You helped me find the light once."
"I was a fool back then. I believed in things."
—Blackarachnia and Silverbolt
"Don't listen to him, Silverbolt! He turned you into a monster!"
"I gave you strength. I gave you power."
"We gave you friendship! I gave you my heart."
"I gave you purpose. I gave you life!"
"You... gave... me... NOTHING!!!"
-Blackarachnia and Megatron play Loyalty-tug-of-war with Silverbolt.
"Nobody's judging you. You were under Megatron's control. Join us, and you can avenge yourself."
"You still don't get it, do you? I don't hate Megatron for what he made me do. He freed me from my code of honor, and I revelled in it. Don't you see? I… enjoyed it. I don't know what I am anymore."
"You are what you've always been – honest, pure, virtuous to a fault."
[Blackarachnia takes Silverbolt's hand]
"You're taking a huge risk."
"Considering how well I know the goodness in your heart, it really isn't a risk at all."
—Blackarachnia and Silverbolt
最終,與Megatron及其Vehicons一戰,Optimus與Megatron同歸於盡換回Cybertron真真正正的reformating,眾人亦得以大團圓結局。
The menace has passed! At last, we can truly be together, dark venom of my heart!
—Silverbolt to Blackarachnia
言歸正傳,Beast Machines Blackarachnia,亦曾一度被炒起過高價。或者正是與Blackarachnia的緣份所至,當正式喚發購買決心之時得以一個算頗理想的價錢入得。
與大部分BW、BM的玩具一樣,與卡通內原設定有不少的差異。而我的這款美版,就更加連顏色都變成深紫。
所以一於動手,盡力盡人事還Blackarachnia“真本色”!暗紅配金色,加上綠色斑點之點綴,感覺就“逼真”好多了。
雖然無Transmetal版本華麗,但平衡度大增少了太多累贅,干脆利落。換言之更易於把玩。
嘴部有連動小結構,撥動兩肢,嘴部觸腳回上下移動。
盡管與卡通內誇張的大爪蜘蛛形象有差距,但本身蜘蛛形象其實都很到位,不知是否還屬Black Widow Spider?
