After Blackarachnia's failed attempt to get rid of the organic half of herself with the help of Meltdown. She decided to search for another way since she dispised her organic side.
"There's gotta be another way to get rid of the horrid contaminated half of myself... disgusting" Blackarachnia thought as she walked on the tops of the building of Detroit. She walked and walked, thinking about what she could do. She sat down on the roof of a large building and closed her blood red eyes.
"What am i gonna do?" She thought. She thought for a few minutes and soon fell asleep. A few hours later a loud sound awoke her. She got up in a scare.
"Well, well, well. What's a pretty bot like you doing out here all by yourself in the middle of the night?" A deep smooth voice said.
"Who's there? Show yourself" She demanded. She squinted her eyes too see who it was, but she saw nothing.
"Why of coarse. Why wouldn't you want to get a look at the bot who could help you" The voice said. He walked out of the shadows and showed himself.
"Who are you? She asked.
"I'm an intergalactic arms dealer. But you can call me Swindle my fine female friend" He said.
"Wait a minute. You're that bot who got backfired by his own plan and got sold off to a police auction aren't you?" Blackarachnia said.
"Yes, but luckily the effect of the timepiece wore off before they took me apart. So i escaped. I also had the advantage of keeping the timepeice" Swindle said.
"I see, what do you want?" She said.
"What i want? That doesn't matter right now. What does matter is what you want my dear" He said.
"Really? Well i want someone that could help me get rid of this horrid contaminated half of myself. You wouldn't mind helping a femme bot like me, would you?" Blackarachnia asked stroking his face.
"Oh i can help you with that" He said.
"Do tell" She said.
"I have blueprints of a weapon that could help you get rid of the half of you that you don't desire. Would you be interested?" He asked.
"I would" Blackarachnia said.
"All i need is one more piece" He replied.
"I'm begining to like you already Swindle" She said.
"One more thing" Swindle said.
"What?" She asked.
"What are you going to do for me in return?" He asked.
"How bout i'll let you stay online" She said with an evil smile.
"Good enough for me" He said. He jumped down onto the streets of Detroit.
"Good" She said.
"Follow me" He said. He transformed into his vehicle form and began to drive. She transformed into her spider form and followed him. After a few seconds, Prowl came out of the shadows after listening to the whole conversation. Then he headed back to the Autobot's base.
"Prowl where were you?" Optimus asked.
"I was out searching for Decepticons" Prowl replied.
"Did you find any?" Sari asked.
"Blackarachnia is in on a plan with Swindle" Prowl said.
"I thought he got sold off to a police auction?" Bulkhead said.
"He said that the effect of the timepiece wore off before they took him apart, and he escaped" Prowl said.
"That bag of bolts barely even did any damage. Why should we go after him now?" Ratchet said.
"Even if he didn't do any damage, we don't know what he's capable of when he has Blackarachnia's help" Optimus said.
"Let's go kick their butts then" Bumblebee said.
"Hold on Bumblebee. Prowl, did they say anything else while you were there?" Optimus asked.
"Swindle said that he had blueprints for a weapon that could help Blackarachnia get rid of her organic half and that he needed one more piece to build it" Prowl replied.
"Very well then. Roll out" Optimus said. They transformed and drove off to find Swindle and Blackarachnia.
"So Swindle, what is this piece that you need?" Blackarachnia asked.
"We just need a very strong source of power" Swindle replied.
"Sumdac tower has an unlimited supply of power. That should work" She said.
"Beautiful and smart. I like that" Swindle said.
"Back off pal" Blackarachnia snapped.
"Oooh, so fiesty" Swindle said with a smirk.
"Wait a minute, wouldn't you need more than a strong source of power to make the machine work?" Blackarachnia said.
"Not exactly. I just need everything else i had before, minus the satelite. The only new things i'll need for the machine are you, a strong power source, and the timepiece" He replied.
"This better work" Blackarachnia said.
"Don't worry, i guarantee it" Swindle replied. They drove untill they reached Sumdac tower.
"There they are" Optimus said.
"Lets get em" Bumblebee shouted.
"Not so fast shorty" Blackarachnia said.
"Who are you calling shorty" Bumblebee said in anger. He took out his energy stingers, aimed them, and shot a blast of energy.
"WATCH OUT!" Swindle jumped in front of her and shot his canon at the Autobots, injuring most of them. Unfortunatly he got shot in his left arm at the same time.
"Back off" Blackarachnia grabbed the timepiece and shot it at the Autobots and froze them in place. She put the timepiece down and knelt down next to Swindle.
"You still online" Blackarachnia asked. Swindle groaned and opened his optics a bit.
"Yeah, just in alot of pain" He said.
"I gotta get you outta here before those Autojerks come back. Can you transform?" Blackarachnia said.
"I hope so" He said. Swindle transformed into his alt mode and Blackarachnia lead the way.
After a while, she stopped at a large building and transformed.
"This should do. Just drive up and i'll meet you at the top" She said. He drove up to the top of the building, and transformed into his alt mode.
"Lay down" She said.
"Why?" Swindle said.
"Just do it" She said laying him down on the ground.
"Ow" Swindle whined.
"Sorry" She said.
"It's okay" Swindle replied.
"Let me see that wound" Blackarachnia said.
"I'll be fine" Swindle said trying to get up.
"Lay down. You're not going anywhere" She said. She sat down beside him and spun out some of her webs and wrapped it around Swindle's wound.
"Won't that poison me?" He said.
"No, i'm putting it there so it can't get worse" She said.
"Oh... well thanks" Swindle said.
"Don't worry about it. But there's one thing i'm wondering about" She said.
"What?" Swindle replied.
"Why did you save me?" Blackarachnia asked.
"Because i made a deal with you. And i don't think i'll be able to keep the deal if your offline now can i" He said.
"Well thanks. I appreciate it" She replied.
"No worries" He said. Blackarachnia smiled.
"Wheres the timepiece?" Swindle asked.
"Right here" She said holding it in her hand.
"Is it okay?" Swindle said.
"Yeah, it's fine. Its beautifull" Blackarachnia said.
"Mmhm. But i think it'll look much more beautifull on you" Swindle said. He took the timepiece and put it around her neak.
"How sweet. I'm starting to think that you're alot nicer then Optimus Prime" She said.
"Really?" He said.
"Mmhmm, if he wouldv'e saved me all those years ago i would've never been in this mess" She said.
"I see" Swindle said.
"What does the timepiece have to do with your machine?" Blackarachnia asked.
"The timepiece will reverse the poison in your system, and get rid of your organic half. But i can't really say wheather you'll look the same or change" Swindle replied.
"How do you know about all of this technology?" She asked.
"I build it all. So therefore, i know what each piece does" He said.
"Pretty clever" Blackarachnia said. She looked up at his big purple optics. She roughly pressed her lips against Swindle's. Swindle earned a muffled squeak.
"You okay?" Blackarachnia asked.
"Yeah" Swindle said catching his breath. They sat there for a few seconds and stared at eachother. Then he pulled her down close to him and kissed her.
Back on the streets of Detroit, the effect of the timepiece wore off the Autobots.
"That hurt" Bulkhead said rubbing his head.
"Everybody okay?" Optimus asked.
"That did hurt" Bumblebee said.
"As long as everybody is fine" Optimus said.
"We have to go after them" Bumblebee said.
"Most of us are injured. Are you insane" Ratchet yelled.
"We can't go after them untill everyone is looked at to see if they're okay" Optimus said.
"Lets hurry then" Bumblebee replied.
"Hold on a second... Everyone seems to be okay. Just a few bruisings" Ratchets said.
"Lets go" Optimus said. They transformed and drove off to find Blackarachnia and Swindle again.
"It's almost set up, i just need to tweak some things here" Swindle said fixing the machine.
"Why is it so small?" She asked.
"It's portable, so you can take it anywhere intead of draging it around everywhere" Swindle said.
"Good. Soon i'll be all bot again" Blackarachnia said.
"There, it's done. All i need to do is is hook you up to the machine" Swindle said.
"Good" Blackarachnia ran up to Swindle and kicked him to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Swindle demanded.
"What does it look like i'm doing" Blackarachnia replied.
"We had a deal" He said.
"Well now i'm breaking it" She replied.
"Breaking it? Nobody breaks a deal with me... Not even pretty bots like you" He said. He stood up and shot a blask of energy from his canon. She dodged the blast and ran up and poisoned him. Knocking him out. She spun a web around the machine and jumped away. Leaving Swindle confused and unconcious.
