I like toying with the idea that there was something between Airachnid and Megatron in the past. By no means should it ever be called love, or fondness, or respect, or even liking. But Megatron seemed very quick to bring a deserter back into the fold, and give her a high ranking, however brief it was. If they were humans, I would say they had an angry sex-only relationship where they got off on trying to be the dominant one while bringing down the other with mutual backstabbings, abuses in every conceivable form, and pure lust-filled contempt- -and not in a healthy kinky way. But I don't subscribe to Transformers sex, so I wrote this down instead.
Transformers Prime belongs to Hasbro.
"I...Lord Megatron."
"Airachnid. I wondered what had happened to your traitorous self."
"'Traitorous'? Unless stasis did something to my processors, you sent lackeys to try and kill me in an unprovoked attack!"
"You tried to usurp my command."
"I was acting in the best interests of the Decepticons. While you, I might add, were trying to raise the Chaos Bringer in an attempt to do...what, exactly?"
"Hold your tongue, Airachnid. There is very little preventing me from extinguishing your spark and ridding the cosmos of your filth once and for all."
"Big words from one who couldn't face me himself."
"Says the insect who sent a legion of assassins after me. A legion, I might add, that is now completely under my control."
"We shall see. But before then, I have a question. Lord Megatron."
"Only one?"
"For now."
"By all means. Ask."
"Why did you release me?"
