Is this the first ever official pirate ship transformer? I know other toylines have had transforming ships of that nature.

Pirate Ship has been in the top three of my "most wanted alt modes" for a good while. I wish it were bigger but it's great to get one and I will absolutely buy it.
-ZacWilliam, the other two are a School Bus and a pair of Bumper Cars if anyone was curious.

I have the pirate ship Metal Cardbot on preorder so between that and Pirate Scourge, it's a good year for pirate ships.
Webdiver Garyuun (or however the hell it's supposed to be translated) is about to get a fleet to lead.
As with so much of Cyberworld, I crave this in any other line than Cyberworld.
Okie dokie! Hasbro will bring back R.E.D. and put it in there just for you.
Sometimes all the fingers of the monkey's paw curl except one
To be fair, these toys don't have elbows, so the "Transformers R.E.D. [Robot Enhanced Design]" toyline does have room to add something here.
Why are we using its government name?
I don't know. It just feels obligatory now.
Besides, "RED Transformers" is like the next wave of product that was solicited
I saw RED Soundwave and Galvatron at a local vintage toy store.
What a pointless exercise that was...

I'm glad they cut bait as soon as they did, as late as that seemed. It makes more sense to outsource the whole "non transforming poseable robot mode with accessories" stuff. The results have been a mixed bag (currently the Auldey ones look the best) but the niche is filled, they're not taking up Hasbro resources, and the licensing out is making them money.
Here's my recap/reactions:

Movies and TV - Transformers: Cyberworld Episode 23 - ♪ Ooooooooh, The Chase!
After another week off, it's time for another week on Cyberworld! For "Hider & Seeker," the YouTube description is thus: Starscream is hunting the Autobots through Cyber City - and getting caught means game over. No time to reunite, no time to explain - just RUN. Mirage confronts Wheeljack...

Airachnid is out at Target, got mine today!
She shares a transformation with Chop Shop, but very few parts, if any. There's even molded-in detail on a part that could have been the same, but isn't! Technically, the instructions don't have the spider legs rotated on the arms, but I feel like it looks better that way.
Airachnid has 2 extra 5mm ports on her shoulders that Chop Shop doesn’t have. Since the package calls out the "Armor Up" aspect, I assume these are there for that purpose?
3 5mm ports on the back of both figures, but arranged differently.
Spider and bug modes
Combat Spider and bug modes.
The only part that seems to be a straight redeco is the axe/pincer/sword weapon thingy. Looks good in the dark pallette!
Oddly, I don't see any faction emblem on Airachnid like the Decepticon one on Chop Shop. Maybe she's unaligned in the show? (Or I just missed it...)
Overall, it's a nice little figure. I could do without the auto-transforming feature, and would love these figs to have elbows and head swivels, but for the price, they're fun little toys that are satisfying to play with!
