Stop hand

What I look like is only half the story... what I am is a lot more complicated.
~ Blackarachnia
It'll be a long time before I ever trust another Autobot. Especially you, Optimus.
~ Blackarachnia

Blackarachnia, formerly known as Elita One, is a recurring antagonist in Transformers: Animated. She is a former Autobot who was mutated into a partially-organic Transformer with spider-like abilities and seeks the means to cure herself, and later to create other partially-organic Transformers. She is based on her counterpart in Beast Wars.

She was voiced by Cree Summer, who also voiced Elmyra Duff in Tiny Toons, Hyena in Disney's Gargoyles, Mercy Graves in Superman: Doomsday, Cree Lincoln in Codename Kids Nextdoor, Mandy Pickett in Bratz Passion 4 Fashion Diamondz, Penny Gadget in Nostalgia Critic, Medusa in Kid Icarus: Uprising, Tiff and Vexus in My Life as a Teenage Robot, Dr. Penelope Young in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Haggar in Voltron: Legendary Defender, The Little Girl in Robot Chicken, Dr. Frakes in Amphibia, and Catwoman in DC Super Hero Girls.

Biography[]

Blackarachnia was once an Autobot named Elita One. However, when searching for a Decepticon warship with Optimus Prime and Sentinel Prime, they were attacked by alien spiders. Elita One tried to escape the spider cave, but fell back in. Optimus and Sentinel in a bad situation try to choose whether to save her or quickly abandon her. Optimus chose to leave her behind, and when Elita One tried to use her organic-matter downloading powers on the spider aliens, she infected herself with spider DNA and became Blackarachnia. Angered at Optimus for her reasons, she chose to become a Decepticon instead. She came back in the episode "Megatron Rising Part 1" where Decepticons Blitzwing and Lugnut's mission persuades her to catch the All Spark-powered key again from Sari Sumdac. Blackarachnia then tells of how she wishes to be normal again, but then Sari escaped from her with the help of Ratchet piloting the ship Teletraan 1.

She steals a key that contains the AllSpark power from human/robot hybrid Sari Sumdac and uses it to drain organic power. But she forgets that spiders are also animal life, which starts to affect Blackarachnia as well, so Optimus quickly removes it. Afterwards, she hires a mutant person named Meltdown made of toxic melting material to remove her organic side, with the help of Autobot Dinobots Grimlock, Swoop, and Snarl. However, Meltdown wanted to actually remove her robotic parts from the spider body to make a transforming organic. Blackarachnia tries to escape but couldn't, then Optimus Prime again came back in and stopped Meltdown. She escapes again.

Blackarachnia came back the last time in "Predacons Rising". She captures Wasp, an accused Transformer who was removed from the Elite Guard when Wasp was framed by Decepticon Shockwave. Blackarachnia has the Dinobots guard her lair when Sentinel Prime and his allies Jetfire and Jetstorm distracted the Dinobots. Sentinel then meets Blackarachnia, who she tells of her past. Sentinel, realizing this, tries to confess that Optimus was the one responsible for her misfortunate fate of becoming a Transformer/spider hybrid, and the Supreme Commander of Autobots, Ultra Magnus, forbidden Sentinel and Optimus from coming back to the planet where Blackarachnia turned into what she is. Optimus came in, but just until Wasp was also infected as a transforming arachnid hybrid just like her. Wasp later renamed himself Waspinator and attacks Sentinel and Autobot Bumblebee. The lair detonates, and Waspinator and Blackarachnia land in an island full of animals (the same type of the original four Maximals from Beast Wars). Blackarachnia sees the animals, responding "Oh, you have got to be kidding me".

According the The Complete AllSpark Almanac, she would eventually start her own faction known as the Predacons.

Quotes[]

Blackarachnia: I know how easily you forget your friends. Although, you managed to remember Sentinel that day!
Optimus Prime: Elita One?
Blackarachnia: It's Blackarachnia now!
Optimus Prime: But I thought you were...
Blackarachnia: If either of you had bothered to search for me, you would have seen what happened! I tried to use my downloading power on the spiders but I ended up infecting myself with their organic venom. I became something else. Not autobot. Not organic. I was nothing but a freak!
Optimus Prime: Your organic half must have masked your energy signature. Had I know I would have...
Blackarachnia: What!? Brought me back to Cybertron to be dismantled and examined on some lab table?
Optimus Prime: So you allied yourself the Decepticons instead.
Blackarachnia: At least I know where I stand with them.
~ Blackarachnia tells Optimus Prime how she became who she is today and why she joined the Decepticons.
Blackarachnia: Full of yourself still, Sentinel?
Sentinel Prime: You… you know me?
Blackarachnia: I did once…
Sentinel Prime: A robot? With an organic mode? [Disgust] There is no way I would ever have anything to do with a mutant freak like you!
Blackarachnia: That's not what you said when you dragged me along on your little treasure hunt to a Decepticon warship, you remember? The one with unstable energon cubes and THE Spiders!
Sentinel Prime: [Gasps realizing the truth] Elita One?
Blackarachnia: It's Blackarachnia now Sentinel, thanks to you and Optimus.
Sentinel Prime: But I... I thought you went offline.
Blackarachnia: Well, least you two managed to get your stories straight.
Sentinel Prime: I never forgave Optimus for leaving you behind. It was his idea, you know? And Ultra-Magnus, he...he wouldn't even let us go back to recover your shell!
Blackarachnia: Then I guess nobody's innocent.
Sentinel Prime: I just never knew, never imagined that something this... unspeakable could have happened to you. How can you even live like that?! It's horrible! It's disgusting!
Blackarachnia: Okay, okay, I get it! It's bad, but it's not that bad, all right?!
Sentinel Prime: No. It's worse. You should have gone offline.
~ Blackarachnia encounters Sentinel Prime after many years, since she last knew when she was Elita One.
