Distracting the bots didn't seem to be very difficult to Airachnid; given the current situation.
With the energon bluff and the insecticons in the air, she was pretty confident of shaking off the bots.It wasn't soon till the bots engaged in battle with the bugs. Airachnid allowed herself a moment to look on in delight as the insecticons took on twice their number, giving them a hard time no doubt. 
She then accessed the secure frequency,wondering how the cons would respond. Airachnid thought up of a plan B incase the cons acted hostile and matters got out of hand. Her plan B which, under better conditions would have been her first priority, was to seize control of the con base if overbearing figures such as the dark lord himself were absent.
