Day 119: Arachnid

The Predacon counterpart to Orcanoch is Arachnid, a MicroVerse-branded playset that introduced a different scale to Transformers: Beast Wars. Arachnid is an immense spider that opens up to form a base, complete with little volcano staging area. His base mode includes scaled figures of Megatron and Razorbeast. This was available in 1997. 

Day 106: Orcanoch

Here's an odd one. Orcanoch was part of a short-lived subset of Beast Wars called MicroVerse, which allowed for playset play without having to make an enormous toy in scale with the other Beast Wars toys. More like a transforming MicroMachine playset, Orcanoch has a beast mode: an orca, and a Maximal base mode, but no robot mode. His base mode includes small figures representing Optimus Primal and Megatron.
