Nightshade's more isolated nature leads them to make an unexpected new friend.


Synopsis

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

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

Continuity notes

Transformers references

  • Tarantulas being portrayed as an ultimately sympathetic character was inspired by his depiction in Sins of the Wreckers.[1]

Real-world references

  • D.E. O'Neil is named in reference to Denny O'Neil.[2]
  • Nightshade's Smart Trainer 5007 bears a strong resemblance to the lightsaber training drone from Star Wars.

Errors

References

  1. "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
  2. "That was intentional! I'm a huge fan of Denny O'Neil's work (especially for The Shadow), and given his connection to Transformers, I felt this would be an appropriate way to pay tribute."—Mae Catt, Twitter, 2023/03/07
