Silas/"Breakdown" was searching for more victims to feed off from and found a room containing Airachnid's stasis pod, broke it open, freeing Airachnid in the process.

The internet would prove you wrong very quickly if you went on a few certain sites. Jokes aside, I’m someone that doesn’t mind spiders as long as they are not the huge Australian ones. However if I met airchnid in real life, I would lose my shit upon seeing a giant killer spider robot lady that turns into a helicopter, so at that point there is no escape for me if she wants me dead, which she most likely would out of sadism. It’d almost be best to just lay down and die and hope she makes it quick.

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

She seems more sadistic than most of the Decepticons in this show, and I am judging by clips. I feel bad for any human that has the misfortune to come across her, especially Jack, since he’s a specific target for Arachnid since Jack hangs out with arcee, and we know how much Arachnid seems to love to hurt arcee, as you can sees with how arachnid tends to enjoy killing off people who are close to arcee.

[@felipemontero1087]

Her first appearance has her trapping Arcee, and proceeds to chase Jack for 10 minutes, all while telling him things like “well done, play hard to get”, “you see that empty spot in the wall? That’s reserved for your head”. And even creepier is that the whole episode is framed from Jack’s perspective, how small he is compared to Airachnid, and how she’s toying him all the time. For a kid’s show it went pretty intense

[@evanlongfellow6849]

I doubt the trip there would be practical in her helicopter form. It took months to get to our moon in a specially created space shuttle and those move a lot faster than a helicopter, they need to. It would likely take years in a helicopter just to make the attempt.

[@trueblue6201]

Two reasons. 1) She was just stranded in a desserted moon. A helicopter would not be capable of space travel. Helicopters work by pushing against air, of which there is not a lot of in space. Space travel is usually just possible by rocket fuel which she does not have. As demosntrated in the show, she is not able to travel between planets under her own power (as seen by her introduction where she used a spaceship). 2) Soundwave beat her again.

@@realathenightmaren4393 That and the fact that Black Arachnia had moments of good in her: in TA she was a former Autobot named Elita one and was left behind and presumed dead. From then on she was a tragic and sympathetic character. She hardened her heart to prevent repeating what happened to her by viewing everyone as a potential enemy. Despite rebranding herself with the Decepticon insignia, she always worked alone in an attempt to cure herself and due to her past history as an autobot, Optimus never once gave up on believing she was still good. Meanwhile Airachnid never had any of that. She never expressed any ounce of good or conscious, nor did any of the Autobots believe she could be reformed. She was the ultimate Decepticon, initially defecting from the Decepticons to work solo and pursue her own selfish desires. Preferring to torment any living being for her own sadistic pleasures, regardless of their alignment. Even when she rejoined the Decepticons, she would eventually betray everyone around her because she could.
