Blackarachnia (Transformers Animated)

Blackarachnia is a Predacon who works for Megatron. She was originally a Maximal protoform, reprogrammed as a Predacon by Megatron. Her beast form is a black widow spider, chosen by Tarantulas, to which Megatron suspected he had ulterior motives.

In one episode, she attempted to take over a floating island made by the Vok, but in the end the tower was destroyed along with the island.

She often works together with

She never became a Transmetal in Season 2. After Silverbolt awakened, he began to fall in love with her, despite the fact that she was a Predacon. In Season 3, Blackarachnia switched sides during Megatron's attempt to destroy Optimus Prime (as it would destroy all Maximals AND Maximal protoforms, which included Blackarachnia, Inferno, and Rampage).

When the Maximals attempted to remove the shell that made her a predacon, the process was interrupted by the Predacons, and she was seemingly killed. However, she later arrived at the battlefield as a Transmetal. From here, her activation code became "Blackarachnia Maximize" (as opposed to "Terrorize").

She was last seen in the final episode, returning to Cybertron with the other Maximals.
