Quotes
"Then behold the Smart Trainer 5007!"
"Why 5007?"
"The first 5,006 tried to destroy me."
- -Nightshade does their best Wheeljack impression when answering Twitch's question.
"But I don't want an alt-form."
"You are a Transformer. An another mode is your birthright."
"I see no need for one. Aren't I sufficient as I am?"
"Young one, alt-forms aren't meant to complete you as though you have a missing part. They further express who you already are."
- -Nightshade learns from Tarantulas there's more to alt-modes than just changing your form.
Notes

- Nightshade's Smart Trainer 5007 bears a strong resemblance to the lightsaber training drone from Star Wars.
Errors
References
- ↑ "More Earthspark episodes have dropped, including some written and story edited by me! As for Ep. 113, I wanted to give a special shout out to @NickRoche, whose impeccable comics featuring the Wreckers inspired me to pitch Tarantulas as that ep's foil to Nightshade."—Mae Catt, Twitter, 2023/03/03
