Tarantulas (BW)

Tarantulas was one of the first Predacons to join Megatron during Beast Wars. In addition to being an utterly insane, sadistic sociopath (even by Predacon standards), Tarantulas has a record for treachery rivaled by few other Transformers. As his name clearly implies, his alternate form is a large tarantula.

After the destrcution of the Planet Buster, he is upgraded to a Transmetal, and gains the extra form of a motorcyle-like vehicle.

Through the course of the series, it is revealed that Tarantulas was actually an agent of The Tripredacus Council who was trying to coax the Beast Wars toward an unspecified goal, where neither Autobot or Decepticon won the Great War.

Tarantulas has a particularly notable hatred of the Vok aliens. A hatred strong enough to make him work to any means to eliminate them.
