The Tarantula faces a different kind of Spider (0-7-0) (Grace)

Black is pretty skilled too so he should eventually outrange
Blackarachnia is a girl She is decent, the BW comics have few skill statements and rely mostly on showings, unlike the Marvel Comics where like, almost eveyr street tier is said to be a master on multiple Martial Arts or something like that '-'.

Anyway, would this be a vote for her or do you think it is a stomp?

Nah just a normal vote. I don't think its a stomp
 
Doesn't Blackarachnia just outranges and win? Tarantula doesn't have am impressive skillchain or anything like that either.

It is not exactly in character for her to outrange
 
Her paralysis seems to be so. Isn't that enough?
SBA, they start in close combat since that's Tarantula's range, no? She is not known to get distance to use her ranged attacks, she uses them in melee or as the enemy is approaching her
 
I suppose I should give a more in depth insight just in case someone who knows Tarantula more appears.

I don't know a lot about Tarantula, but he should have a skill advantage here, once again, it seems like most people in the big two comics have a ridiculous skill scaling and the BW lads don't have a lot of statements for skill, only visual feats. Still, Blackarachnia is not a bad figher per say, and can likely match up slightly with Tarantula.

The AP and LS advantage is hers, but the AP advantage is barely there and the LS probably won't come into play since she doesn't throw enemies, and it would only factor if Tarantula uses those as his main thing. Blackarachnia's stun beam is an easy win condition but she would need to hit him first, which might prove hard since his acrobatics should give him enough room to dodge it, as Cheetor did the same (Although he also is faster then Blackarachnia).

Tarantula's poison likely wouldn't work. Cybertronians are usually portrayed closer to living beings then robots (They have their own diseases, poisons and can get drunk, although only radiation poison was mentioned in the 2021 BW series), they still, however, have wildly different anatomies so a poison that affects organic beings would likely not affect a Cybertronian.

One thing that might not be good for Tarantula is Blackarachnia's web. She can only it in her alt mode, but she has done it at least twice, both of those mid battle and one of them was when she was in a 8v20 battle (Her being part of the 8 fighters), those webs can restrain people that are stronger then Nyx (Which is where Blackarachnia gets her LS at 18 Tons) so that is also a win condition for her.

Overall, while I do think Tarantula might have the acrobatics not get immediately destroyed by the Stun Beam while also likely being more skilled to take her in combat, Blackarachnia does need one hit of her Stun Beam, which he can not disarm and, if that takes a while, her energon webs are too strong for Tarantula to tear apart so I'm voting her for now

You're overestimating Marvel skillchains, it works like that, yeah... with certain characters, not all of them. And you need to prove that the skillchain works for Tarantula, which by profile alone, it doesn't.

Anyway, I too vote for Blackarachnia mostly because Tarantula is fodder lmao.

Like, you never know with long running comics. Tarantula faced Punisher who frequently fights Daredevil who is as skilled as Iron Fist, etc (Don't know if anything I said is true, just how I thought it worked)

Counted, will update the OP once I'm home

You're already got it wrong thinking that Punisher scales to DD on skill lmao.

Well, the only comics I read are Transformers ones so I just made a wild guess '-'
 
I feel like you could've done this match with a different guy, anyways robussy fra
For Tarantula or Blackarachnia? I initially thought Tarantula skill scaled to everyone so I didn't want to put Tarantulas since I thought he would get skill stomped
