Quotes 

• Blackarachnia : I can't explain it. One minute I saw this light, then I saw Silverbolt in danger...

  Optimus Primal : And you rushed off on your own as usual. NOT a very Maximal approach.

  Blackarachnia : Even when I'm good I'm still bad.

• Blackarachnia : Transmetals have more power. I WANTED IT.

  Silverbolt : Then you should have asked us. We could have helped you.

  Blackarachnia : Yeah, right. Like you're going to help the Pred get more power?

  Optimus Primal : Maximal or Predacon, you're one of us. You should know that by now.

• Rampage : This will hardly be any fun at all.

  Blackarachnia : Yeah, for you! Blackarachnia... MAXIMIZE!

  [Silverbolt gulps] 

  Rampage : Love the new look... GOOD-BYE!

  Blackarachnia : You missed... and you're ugly!

  [Blackarachnia goes back to beast mode and flings her grappling hook around Rampage's neck. She swings him around and around then lets go, flinging Rampage into the side of a cliff] 

  Blackarachnia : [in robot mode]  Hmm. Not too shabby.

  Silverbolt : Blackarachnia?

  Blackarachnia : You're not going to leave me now Bowser? Not after I've had my nails done and everything.

  [smiles] 

• Silverbolt : What is it, Rhinox?

  Rhinox : The Pred shell program they implanted is deteriorating. If it continues it will infect her Maximal core conscience.

  Blackarachnia : It sounds serious. Oh. I guess using the transmetal driver on myself wasn't such a great idea.

  Optimus Primal : I thought you were smarter than that and how did YOU get the driver?

  Blackarachnia : I borrowed it.

  Rhinox : Why?

• Silverbolt : I am sorry, but I will forever be your champion, my lady.

  Blackarachnia : The way you talk.

  [an electrolytic pulse goes through Blackarachnia's face into Silverbolt's face] 

  Blackarachnia : Transmetal power... Better get used to it.

• Optimus Primal : Thanks for all of your help...

  Blackarachnia : Spare me the Maximal mush and let's get this over with.

• Rhinox : How are you feeling?

  Blackarachnia : Like someone is playing squash-the-spider with an energon ball.

  Optimus Primal : Are you ready?

  Blackarachnia : All except for one thing. Decrypt datatrax Widow's Edge. Prepare for direct download. The Ark's access codes. I figure you have the best chance of keeping them away from Mega-Ego.
