She should have been MY voice actress!

Airachnid is Sentinel Prime's assistant and primary enforcer. To call her "no nonsense" is an understatement. The only time she smiles is when she's going in for the kill. She is an unrelenting and humorless hunter and spy, with a vast array of receptors and scanners, keeping tabs on anything that might threaten Sentinel's power.

Aided by her squad of Death Trackers, there's nothing on Cybertron she doesn't see, and no 'bot she won't dispatch if her boss only wills it.

Airachnid was Sentinel Prime's first lieutenant, using her multitude of eyes to record and keeps tabs on nearly everything around her. As a member of Sentinel's administration, she was well aware of his betrayal of the Primes and subservience to the Quintessons. After an Iacon 5000, Airachnid paid a visit to Orion Pax and D-16 after their disastrous entry and near-victory in the race, sizing up the pair before Sentinel arrived to greet them. When Sentinel professed an amused appreciation for the two's efforts, Airachnid reluctantly joined along with the best laughter she could manage, though it hardly convinced Orion and D-16 given how stilted it was. Sentinel congratulated the pair for increasing morale and production among the miner class before he and Airachnid departed.

Later, Airachnid traveled with Sentinel and some of their troops to deliver the latest tribute to the Quintesson High Commander, with Airachnid promising to keep a close eye on everything at her boss's request. Airachnid joined her cohorts in bowing before the Commander and observing as it threatened Sentinel upon noticing the tribute was light. As Sentinel bargained with the Commander, Airachnid narrowly missed the sight of Orion, D-16, B-127, and Elita-1, who were watching from a nearby mountainside, before her attention was returned to the meeting. Once the Commander left, Airachnid was deployed to investigate what she had caught a glimpse of and soon she and the troops went after the miners. However, Alpha Trion met them in battle, but while he decimated the rank-and-file troopers, he was caught off guard by a sneak attack from Airachnid. She quickly detained the old Prime and brought him before Sentinel, who quickly executed him.

Airachnid tracked down the miners to the camp of the exiled High Guard, leading an assault that saw her capture D-16, B-127, and Starscream and many of his troops. Airachnid brought them all before Sentinel and watched as Sentinel sadistically taunted and tortured his captives until the rest of the High Guard attacked. Airachnid went into battle, clashing with Elita before she was finally defeated. Realizing that Airachnid's nonstop recording of everything she saw was the key, Orion forcibly displayed her memories of Sentinel's true nature to all of Cybertron, resulting in a mass uprising and the fall of Sentinel's regime.

You may not like it, but this is what the ideal spider body looks like.

• Airachnid (Cog Changers, 2024)

Part of the first wave of Transformers One Cog Changers, Airachnid transforms from robot to screen-inaccurate robotic spider instead of a drone-like vehicle in one step. There are effects part ports on the ends of her arm-mounted cannons, though these only work while in alternate mode, as her arms are fixed and pointed at the ground while in robot mode.
