Airachnid had spent the time exploring Earth's terrain and had plenty of findings to show for it. The ground was somewhat easy for her to drill through and more often than not, the underground passages seemed usable. There were exceptions here and there though. There was also a diverse number of botanical species ,all of which were susceptible to Airachnid's venom and so were many of the materials that were used in the construction of infrastructure of this planet.After noticing the simplicity of her surroundings, she didn't feel the need to set up any traps .

Deeper underground,she felt a familiar sensation close by.Curious, she travelled deeper and found out an insecticon hive .A smile of satisfaction spread across her face. Decepticon soldiers had sent insecticon hives to various planets in faraway galaxies. These cons were to remain in stasis till one of their kind reached the planet.Being closely related to the insecticons, Airachnid could control them, break them out of stasis and use to them to lead an attack if she wished.She decided to leave them in their current state, but planned on bringing them along in her ship.

Knowing that she would need to bring the ship closer, she returned to her ship. Once she was inside her safe domain, her spider legs retracted to their alternate position on her back. She then walked on her main legs; and out of habit , proceeded to check on her trophies first . On her way to the storage room, she heard a noise outside . Was it a human ,or worse ,an autobot interloper? She returned to her spider form and scurried upside down on the ceiling as she made her way towards the source of the noise.
