An attack on the Maximal base disrupted the attempt, and she was deactivated.ĭistraught, Silverbolt took off to avenge her death. A security system Tarantulas installed had been triggered by her tampering with her core, and the only way to fix it was to cut the Predacon shell program loose. Like every good girlfriend, she began to chew him out, but was cut off as an energy surge made her lose control of her circuits. Silverbolt, not realizing what she was planning, bailed her out of the contraption. Later, Blackarachnia took the Transmetal driver and attempted to use it on herself.

Optimal Situation (Quite what she'd intended to do with the Ark - since she couldn't have altered the timeline without risking erasing herself - was never explored.) The Maximals, recognizing what she had done, reluctantly allowed her to join their ranks after an irate Megatron gave her the boot (in the form of nearly killing her). With Silverbolt's help, she got the dying Autobot leader under life support and began the repairs. Not willing to die for Megatron, she activated Teletraan I's security nets to force Megatron off the ship. The Agenda (Part III)which included herself. Once he fired upon Optimus Prime, history began to change, wiping out all Maximals. Bitterly, she agreed to his demands.īlackarachnia used the Ark's security system to cover Megatron's back, not sure of what he was planning. Having always intended for her to reach the Ark as he knew she had the access codes, he threatened to vape Silverbolt unless she did what he said. The two broke through the mountainside and Blackarachnia had a good cackle over the Ark's power being 'all mine!' - just as Megatron arrived. Exhausted and in a hurry, she conceded and told him to dig. Silverbolt followed her and stubbornly refused to leave her alone. Realizing what this meant, Blackarachnia abandoned her post and followed him.

After confirming the location of the Ark, Megatron sent Waspinator to its location. Megatron, observing the slim and attractive Blackarachnia transform and strike a few poses, suggested that he had 'ulterior motives behind her beast form selection.'įor Black Arachnia as a villainess, see Blackarachnia.Īt the end of season 2, Blackarachnia began to show sign of defection for her own survival. But Black Arachnia turns out to be just as cunning and power-hungry as his Predacon spider creator. Tarantulas expected Blackarachnia to be his pawn and be loyal only to him. Tarantulas had Blackarachnia's stasis pod scan a black widow and Blackarachnia was emerged. Tarantulas, watching a black widow fight and devour another spider, was inspired. Blackarachnia was born from one of the Maximal fallen Stasis pods.
