Spider
- Spiders are a form of Cybertronic Wildlife from the War for Cybertron portion of the Transformers: Prime Continuity family
Spiders are creatures that scuttle along the ground and attack Autobots. The creatures are analogous to the spiders on Earth but unlike most Earthly spiders, Cybertronian spiders travel in groups. They glow a bright purple color, denoting possible Dark Energon corruption. They are loyal to Decepticons.

Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)
Spiders scuttle around in the depths of the Kaon Prisons. When Bumblebee, Optimus and Sideswipe escaped with the help of Air Raid, they continued along through a spider and Cloaker infested area. The trio found they could simply squash the pesky arachnids underfoot and continued on. When Megatron appeared to Optimus Prime by transforming a room's infrastructure, and made the typical "You're going to die." speech, he summoned a wave of spiders to attack the Autobots.
Later, in the fight against Trypticon, the giant reptilian robot sent the spiders after the Autobots in a large cluster, only to have them simply swatted away. Transformers: War for Cybertron
Notes
- In the first few waves of Autobot Escalation, only spiders and low level Decepticon grunts are sent to attack you. You can tear right through them and the spiders stop coming after the second wave.
