“ | Starscream, you remind me of a moth. Insignificant, flighty, erratic, and the way they fight a spider's trap is very much how you're doing so now… With no regard in how futile their attempts are. But I suppose this makes you a more attractive meal. There would be no fun in prey that didn't try to fight the inevitable. And you're fighting very hard aren't you? Are you begging under the webs that silence you? Are you pleading for your miserable life under that gag, Starscream? (...) You have no idea the torment I suffered, Starscream. The Insecticons only held off the hunger for so long until they too became like me, useless, starving, infected. We managed to find this place before it also became barren. We dug deeper, to hide and rest and wait. And then the dark energon flowing through us halted, only a short time ago… The absence of the dark energon saved my Insecticons, but my infection came direct from the source, courtesy of Breakdown's chassis… I didn't even realize Silas was inside him until I ripped his chest open. That was a very short lived victory. But this one… this one I know will last me quite some time. I want to relish in your death as much as I will draining you of your precious energon. | „ |
~ Airachnid revealing to Starscream her plans to drain his energon |
Airachnid is a minor antagonist of Transformers: Prime fanfic Redeem the Stars, serving as the unseen antagonist in chapters 18 & 19 and major antagonist in chapters 20 & 21. She was a former Decepticon and Megatron's rogue commander who left the group and decided to hunt endangered species just for the thrill of hunting. Upon being sent by Soundwave on Luna-1, she started draining energon of her Insecticons.
History[]
After Soundwave used the Space Bridge to sent her and the Insecticons on Luna-1, Airachnid asked them to serve her, draining their energon to satiate her thirst. One of the Insecticons was hit in the back of his helm, which led to him getting out of her control, witnessing what she was doing and flying away to the Cybertron.
When Starscream, Soundwave, Arcee, Wheeljack and Bumblebee arrived to the Luna-1, they finds the moon base that Airachnid uses as the "door" to the hideout she dug below. The team goes down, with Soundwave using Laserbeak to navigate his partners. When Laserbeak got stuck in Airachnid's web, Starscream manages to get him out, only for Airachnid to attack him from the back and drag into her den where she reveals her intention to drain his enegon. Unfortunately for her, the decepticon's former second-in-command manages to fight back just long enough for his partners to arrive and free him. During the following battle Arcee manages to damage the room's walls enough for them to collaps on Airachnid, crushing her and ending her reign of terror.
Trivia[]
- Airachnid is the only Decepticon in fanfic who is never shown in a sympathetic light.
