A public service announcement re: Airachnid.

[brokendown]

Don't let her sweet talk you.  She may have a nice set of eight legs, but Airachnid lives only for #1.  She is disloyal, self-obsessed, power hungry, sadistic, evil, without empathy or morals ; and more importantly deadly.  If you're a bot or a con or especially a human, stay the scrap away from her.  Scrap she's done :

1. Betrayed Lord Megatron on multiple occasions
2. Betrayed the Autobots
3. Stolen energon and spare parts
4. Tortured mechs for the fun of it
5. Taken out an entire unit of Autobots on her own
6. Hunted entire species to extinction, causing planetary collapse
7. Stolen ships
8. I'm pretty sure she had something to do with the Barrun Far disaster
9. Disrespected her teammates and superior officers
10. Fostered mutiny
11. Dismembered and killed teammates

If you're thinking "Oh, but I can take care of her, and make a deal, and we can both come out on top." : NOPE.  No, she'll doublecross you before the deal's even done, and leave you under a junk heap missing your t-cog.  She also enjoys torturing squishies.  Also, she can drill through the ground so be careful.  I'm serious, don't help her, she'll just repay you by killing you and stealing all your stuff.

...Do you know if she's at any of the temples?

And I'm guessing she looks like a spider....

[brokendown]

I have no idea where she is. I just intercepted an audio transmission. That means she could be anywhere, which is the worst place for her to be. Sometimes she looks like a spider. She's a Cybertronian with purple optics, all black.

oh, video BTW

[Nods her head.]

All right, thanks for the heads up.

...So, how's Knock Out? Did both of you get through the Invasion okay? Not hurt or anything, right?

Re: oh, video BTW

[brokendown]

I got pretty slagged up when someone dropped off a horde of those buggers at Solus. Put me outta comission for... since y'saw me. Knock Out's okay though. That's the important part.

Re: oh, video BTW

[not_halfbaked]

Good to hear!

Got like infected or overextended myself or something during the fighting, I'm still fuzzy on the details-- [shakes her head] --but either way I got sick and was out for days. [shrugs] Better now though.

...So, did you fight Airachnid before?

[OOC: Oh Korra. Even your attempt to tread lightly just fails.]

Re: oh, video BTW

[brokendown]

Yeah, I fought her. A few times. She fights dirty.
[seriously scowling.]

Re: oh, video BTW

[not_halfbaked]

Okay, I'm guessing your first bit of advice is to just run if you cross paths with her...but if running's not an option, any other tips on what to do if you've gotta fight her?

Like, how dirty does she fight?

...And how often does she drill through the ground?

Re: oh, video BTW

[brokendown]

1. If you can't run, still don't fight. She likes to talk, so talk until you can run and keep your guard up because

2. She'll attack you while you try to talk to her. She uses every dirty trick. Don't expect her to keep any deal. also watch out for her extra arms.

3. All the time. She drills all the time.

Re: oh, video BTW

[not_halfbaked]

About number three: How strong is her drill? Can she drill only through the ground--er, dirt, rock? Or can she drill through metal too?

Re: oh, video BTW

[brokendown]

I never got in between her drill and wherever it wanted to go. SO I don't know if it slices metal ; I only saw it through rock.
