When Galvatron was leading Optimus Prime and the Autobots to his stolen cache of metals, they approached a large web that presented no apparent threat. As they crossed, Galvatron took off, sarcastically noting that he'd been mistaken about the lack of danger, and Goldbug was attacked by the large Chaar spider, which attempted to devour him. Fortunately, Prime and Blaster destroyed the webbing beneath the spider, causing it to plummet into the depths of the chasm below. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2
