Optimus's attempt to make amends with Blackarachnia is interrupted by a running battle between Blackout and Safeguard.
Synopsis
[edit]In the streets of Detroit, Optimus is taken by surprise by Blackarachnia, who traps him from the neck down in webbing. She informs him that she plans to use the key on her body. Optimus says he won't let "Elita-1" do that. Blackarachnia becomes enraged at the sound of her old name and demands Optimus explain why he left her to die.
Optimus says that he and Sentinel immediately formed a search party to rescue her, but were never able to find her. She is hesitant to believe him, until Optimus breaks free, grabs her hands and vows to do whatever it takes to help her restore her body.
Blackarachnia is moved by Optimus's vow, until suddenly Blackout swoops in and transforms, sheering the top off a skyscraper and burying Optimus in rubble! Blackarachnia asks him what he's doing there, and Blackout explains that two pesky Autobots have been tailing him.
Right on cue, Jetfire and Jetstorm swoop in, informing Blackout that he cannot run or escape. The twins attack him gleefully, amused that despite their puny size, they are effective against Blackout because he's too big. They then combine into Safeguard and go toe-to-toe with the Decepticon. Bumblebee, helping Optimus out of the rubble, wonders who the new robots are. Optimus recognizes them as the Elite Guard.
Watching the battle from a distance, Lugnut seizes Blackarachnia by the arm and declares that the battle has become to hazardous and they must retreat. Blackarachnia asks what'll become of Blackout, and Lugnut informs her that he is not a priority; their only concern should be their glorious Emperor of Destruction.
As they zoom off into the sky, Optimus calls after "Elita-1", repeating his vow to help her find a cure. Solemnly, Blackarachnia tells him never to call her by that name again.

Notes
[edit]- "Along Came a Spider" is required viewing for details on Blackarachnia's origin.
- So Optimus is willing to do whatever it takes to help Blackarachnia find a cure...but won't let her use the key?
- In The Cool Episode 2, Starscream announced that Megatron was dead (though Megatron's head was shown to have secretly survived, ala the cartoon). How does Lugnut know Megatron is still alive?
