Description Taranachus or Tarantulas as he was in his youth

The idea is based on an unnamed character that I drew and used in "Entering Darkness" rh1n0x.deviantart.com/art/Tran… a one-shot comic that's part of the Darkness Trilogy by  I've decided to expand on his design, give him an alt mode and make a profile page for him.

Here's the line art for his alt mode hellbat.deviantart.com/art/Cyb…
And here's the line art for his robot mode hellbat.deviantart.com/art/G2-…


MTMTE page template has been supplied by and can be found here autobot-windracer.deviantart.c…

Great bio for this guy. He sounds a little bit like Flame.
Very cool characterisation, and he looks great too!

Cheers Joe.  I borrowed a lot of his characteristics from BW Tarantulas.

I always wondered what further origin Tarantulas has in his "G2" days, awesome work sir.

Interesting take on the Beast Wars baddie.

Thanks.  It was just a few ideas I had on expanding on that character I'd drawn for that comic.  In the BW show, Tarantulas claims that his and the Tri Pedacus Council's origins are different from that of the Autobots and Decepticons, and as far as the continuity's concerned, they firmly originate from the Cybertronian Empire.

I've always maintained that Tarantulas first became aware of the Vok during his work for the Cybertronian Empire. You couldn't terra-form that many worlds without coming across one that had some Vok experiments going on on it.

Great work Nav!

I was actually, very close to including something in his bio about the Vok.  The main reason I didn't was because I thought there was already too much writing taking up space for the robot art.  But yeah, I agree, its perfectly logical that he may have encountered them in some way during that time.

And thus his hatred for them was born.

Exactly.  Sounds like good material for a little one shot story
