I agree with Alak 100%! Couldn't have said it any better.
So if they ever did another Beast Wars show as they've done for the G1 transformers over the years you'd rather BA be a heroine instead of a baddie again? Or at least make that change at somepoint?
P.S. I gotta admit the Silverbolt/Blackarachnia pairing was rather fun at times

In the few episodes of Beast Machines that I saw, I kept hoping the character would die. She was still ok as long as she maintained that spunk I enjoyed from her Predacon days though, but towards the end of season 3 I was no longer a BA fan.
Ugh, Beast Machines...That's a series I'd rather forget altogether, HATED what they did to all the characters on the show (Silverbolt, Rattrap, and Megatron suffered the worst I think), probably the main reason why there hasn't been another Beast Wars series since.
Anyway, I agree Blackarachnia, even as a heroine, should always have a bad gal edge to her. I enjoyed her during season 3, but I dunno if I'd want to see her go through the whole "Villain to hero" thing again if she showed up in a new series, might be more fun to see her as the sneaky anti-heroine of the Maximal team or as a devious Predacon from start to finish, just to keep her character fresh.
). When they reintroduced her during Transformers Animated they remade her as an autobot who was mutated into a biomechanical mutant & joined the Decepticons, basically being reimagined as a "Fallen Angel" sort of character who couldn't let go of the past and allowed her own self loathing and obsession with becoming normal again rule her actions. In that series she was mostly villainous, but had a few moments when she seemed to show signs of still having "inner autobot goodness" within her so to speak
