Blackarachnia (TransTech)
| The name or term "Blackarachnia" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Blackarachnia (disambiguation). |
- Blackarachnia is an Autobot Transcendent Technomorph from the TransTech continuity.
Though she may appear to be a native of Axiom Nexus, Blackarachnia was brought online in a far different universe. On a Cybertron where the Autobots and Decepticons had grown too decrepit to carry on the Great War, they constructed proxy armies in the form of the Maximals and Predacons. As a result from her first moments Blackarachnia knew only strife and combat. Increasingly questioning the orders of her Autobot masters, the breaking point came with the death of her colleagues Silverbolt and Rhinox. She conspired with Nightscream and together they killed their commander, Optimus Primal. Joined by the malcontent Predacons Immorticon and Scavenger, they fled and activated an experimental transwarp device, hoping to escape Cybertron. Instead, they found themselves in Axiom Nexus. After processing, they were placed in the care of Alpha Trion. Under his care, her spark was transferred from her Lowtech body into that of her Transcendent Technomorph counterpart, with the authorities of Axiom Nexus none the wiser.
Fiction
TransTech
Blackarachnia was part of Alpha Trion's insurrectionist organization, and joined in the raid on Shockwave's laboratory in the hopes of rescuing Breakaway. Blackarachnia and her comrades successfully stormed into Shockwave's inner sanctum, where they came face-to-face with the formidable Megatron. Transcendent: Part 5
Notes
- Blackarachnia's design was originally created when Transtech was a planned sequel to Beast Machines, and as such, it was likely originally intended to be the same character as Beast Wars/Beast Machines Blackarachnia. TransTech stories take place in their own universe, it is likely this Blackarachnia no longer has any overt ties to other Blackarachnias... or any Crystal Widows.
