Airachnid (Prime)
- Airachnid is a Decepticon from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Long ago, Airachnid was with the Decepticons. But after Cybertron was abandoned, she decided to go solo. These days, Airachnid spends her time engaging in her new hobby: collecting endangered species. Well, parts of endangered species. Mostly the heads.
And if a species isn't endangered? Oh, they will be. She'll make sure of that.

 Plot details for Predatory follow. |
During the war for Cybertron, Airachnid managed to capture Arcee and her partner Tailgate. Quickly realizing that Arcee would resist physical torture she used, Airachnid decided to make a simpler method: tell her the attack coordinates, or Tailgate dies. Arcee insisted she didn't know the coordinates, but Airachnid didn't believe her, and killed Tailgate. Moments later, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper burst into the holding room, killing the two Vehicons and rescuing Arcee. Airachnid, however, fled.
Following the Great Exodus, Airachnid concluded that war was over, meaning she needed a new way to spend her time. She decided to hunt sentient species, then wipe them out after getting a trophy. Eventually, Airachnid crash landed her ship on Earth. She initially laid her optics on a lone camper, but was ambushed by Arcee. While Arcee gained the upper hand, she was distracted by her human partner Jack Darby and Airachnid webbed her to a rock. Having learned of Cliffjumper's recent demise, Airachnid decided that making Jack her trophy would be a delicious way to hurt Arcee. She chased Jack back to her ship and tried to hunt down the human, but Jack lit a stick on fire and threw it at an energon leak dropping from the ship's underside. Airachnid barely managed to escape the explosion with her spark intact, but finally cornered Jack, and she was really pissed. Before Airachnid could deliver the killing blow, Arcee arrived and lay a few hits into the Decepticon. Deciding she had endured enough for one night, Airachnid drilled into the ground and fled.
