Ida is a Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.
Ida bida spida.

Ida (イダ Ida) is Airachnid's Arms Micron partner. She's quite eager to show off her skills.


Fiction

Prime cartoon

Ida only appears as an actual character in the Arms Micron Theater segments of the Japanese broadcast of Prime.
Voice actor: Ryōka Yuzuki (Japanese)

After studying up on weapon linking, Ida wanted to show off the results of her training to C.L. and the smitten B.2, whom she considered her seniors. Combining with the two Autobots into the Black Widow Claw, she happily announced that they had formed a Combo Weapon! C.L. had to point out to her that since she had the same Energon Crystal shape as him, the Claw was only a generic combination and not a Combo Weapon, causing her to realize she hadn't studied hard enough. B.2 remained infatuated with her, despite C.L. reminding him that she was, you know, a spider. Hopeful Transformation! Aim for Planet Cybertron

Toys

Prime

  • Airachnid (Deluxe, 8-25-12)
    • Set ID number: AM-18
    • Micron ID number: M-22
    • Energon Crystal: AP Power
Available only with her larger partner Airachnid in Japan, Ida comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". She transforms from a robotic spider into a twin-bladed shield. She is covered in 5mm posts and holes as part of the Arms Micron gimmick, allowing her to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".


  • Arms Micron Ultimate 5 Piece Set D (AMW set, 2013)
    • Energon Crystal: AP ???
A blue version of Ida was part of a five-piece gift set of Decepticon-allied Arms Microns, which also included Gora II, Gul, Noji and Zori. All five can combine to form the Gravity Planet Bow-Gun.

Notes

  • Ida's name is, obviously, derived from "spider" (スパイダー supaidā), condensed down to two syllables. Mind you, the Japanese "i" character イ is pronounced with the English "short" form, like in "ring", so her name is pronounced more like "eeda".
