Farlane's mun found cool spider pictures, and this one jumped out. Now someone right AU fic where Sentinel gets left behind on Archa 7 instead of Elita-1.  |

What species is that gent there? I had thought about making any hypothetical Beast Wars Sentinels into peacock spiders: www.xs4all.nl/~ednieuw/australian/salticidae/Peacock_spider_Maratus_volans.htm Look at them. They look like little Captain America spiders! The one you've found there, though, is just a spot-on perfect colour match and even has little orange bits. So perfect. I did once think about writing a fanfic wherein Elita-1 and Sentinel both got left behind, so Blackarachnia experimented on Sentinel to try to fix herself and ending up turning him into a slightly unhinged spider with a self-loathing complex, who went around anally enforcing Decepticon law on other Decepticons and sometimes teamed up with Lockdown, you know, when there was money or mods involved, but I never got around to writing it. |

The species is Poecilotheria metallica. Once again, thanks to Farlane-mun for the name. Peacock spiders are sort of snowplow-shaped, it seems to me.
