Transformers AU: Airachnid’s Reign and the Lost Warrior

With Megatron and Starscream dead, Airachnid ruled. She had no interest in petty war games or false loyalty—she would forge the Decepticons into something stronger. But to do that, she needed more than just fear. She needed a legend.

Digging Up a Ghost

Ancient records spoke of a warrior lost to time, one so feared that even their grave was hidden away. Airachnid had hunted down every rumor, every fragment of truth, until she found the place where they had supposedly been laid to rest.

A forgotten battlefield, lost beneath Cybertron’s ruins. She tore through the wreckage, her spider-like limbs making short work of the debris. Hours passed. Then—metal. A burial chamber, sealed away by time.

But there was no body. Only a spark.

Faint. Flickering. But alive.

A New Vessel

Airachnid grinned. The body was gone, but the spark remained. That meant she had a blank slate, something she could mold into the perfect weapon.

Cybertronian bodies could be rebuilt, but a spark? A spark carried memory, identity, power. Would they remember who they were? Would they be loyal?

She didn’t care.

With stolen tech and dark energon, she would forge them a new form—one worthy of serving her. Whether they awakened as a hero, a monster, or something else entirely, Airachnid would make sure of one thing.

They would belong to her.
