Airachnid (One)

Airachnid is a Transformer from One.

She should have been MY voice actress!

Airachnid is Sentinel Prime's surveillance officer and primary enforcer. To call her "no nonsense" would be an understatement; the only time she smiles is when she's causing suffering or going in for the kill. She is an unrelenting and humorless hunter and spy with a vast array of receptors and scanners at her disposal, which allow for her to keep tabs on anything—and anyone—that might jeopardize Sentinel's claim to power.

Aided by her squad of Death Trackers, there's nothing on Cybertron that she doesn't see, and no 'bot she won't dispatch if her boss only wills it.

Fiction

One film

Voice actor: Vanessa Liguori (English), Ryōka Yuzuki (Japanese), Dilara (German), Irene Jiménez (Latin-American Spanish), Laura Monedero (Spain Spanish), Angela Brusa (Italian), Audrey Sourdive (European French), Olena Svitlytska (Ukrainian), Masza Wągrocka (Polish), Jeong-mi Bae (Korean), Regina Maria Maia (Brazilian Portuguese)

Airachnid was Sentinel Prime's first lieutenant, using her multitude of eyes to record and keeps tabs on nearly everything around her. As a member of Sentinel's administration, she was well aware of his betrayal of the Primes and subservience to the Quintessons. After an Iacon 5000, Airachnid paid a visit to Orion Pax and D-16 after their disastrous entry and near-victory in the race, sizing up the pair before Sentinel arrived to greet them. When Sentinel professed an amused appreciation for the two's efforts, Airachnid reluctantly joined along with the best laughter she could manage, though it hardly convinced Orion and D-16 given how stilted it was. Sentinel congratulated the pair for increasing morale and production among the miner class before he and Airachnid departed.

Later, Airachnid traveled with Sentinel and some of their troops to deliver the latest tribute to the Quintesson High Commander, with Airachnid promising to keep a close eye on everything at her boss's request. Airachnid joined her cohorts in bowing before the Commander and observing as it threatened Sentinel upon noticing the tribute was light. As Sentinel bargained with the Commander, Airachnid narrowly missed the sight of Orion, D-16 (whose caused a brief shine due to his metal head), B-127, and Elita-1, who were watching from a nearby mountainside, before her attention was returned to the meeting. Once the Commander left, Airachnid was deployed to investigate what she had caught a glimpse of, and soon she and the troops went after the miners. However, Alpha Trion met them in battle, but while he decimated the rank-and-file troopers, he was caught off guard by a sneak attack from Airachnid. She quickly detained the old Prime and brought him before Sentinel, who quickly executed him.

Airachnid tracked down the miners to the camp of the exiled High Guard, leading an assault that saw her capture D-16, B-127, and Starscream and many of his troops. Airachnid brought them all before Sentinel and watched as Sentinel sadistically taunted and tortured his captives until the rest of the High Guard attacked. Airachnid went into battle, clashing with Elita before she was finally defeated. Realizing that Airachnid's nonstop recording of everything she saw was the key, Orion forcibly displayed her memories of Sentinel's true nature to all of Cybertron, resulting in a mass uprising and the fall of Sentinel's regime.

Airachnid was a sadistic Triple Changer who enjoyed indulging her cruel impulses. Although she was a close ally of Sentinel Prime, she only barely tolerated Sentinel's other allies like Darkwing. Transformers One Sourcebook

You may not like it, but this is what the ideal spider body looks like.

• Airachnid (Cog Changers, 2024)

• TakaraTomy name: Cog Power Change Airachnid (コグパワーチェンジ エアラクニッド)
• TakaraTomy ID number: OCP-03
• TakaraTomy release date: October 12, 2024

Part of the first wave of Transformers One Cog Changers, Airachnid transforms in a single step from robot to mechanical spider, instead of the drone-like vehicle mode she sports in the film.

Though undocumented in her instructions, her arm guns are blast effect compatible. However, these are only "useable" in alternate mode, as her arms are fixed and pointed at the ground while in robot mode.

Studio Series

Spiders aren't real! Wake up, Iacon!

• Airachnid (Deluxe Class, 2026)

• Movie: Transformers One
• Accessories: 2 blasters
• Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy)^[1]

Released as part of the first wave of the 2026 Studio Series Deluxe lineup, Airachnid is based on the character's appearance in Transformers One, and transforms into a film accurate drone, complete with rotating propellers. Unfortunately, she is much shorter than her film counterpart (who was a bit taller than Sentinel) due to being based on an early scale chart.^[2] The turrets on her forearms are on universal ports and can be detached as handheld pistols.

Due to the unique design of her legs, she has sculpted-in heels not present in her CG model to help the figure stand.

She, alongside Alpha Trion, was revealed in prototype form on the June 24, 2025 fanstream, before being shown off in full color at that year's San Diego Comic-Con. Strangely, she is marketed as a Decepticon, presumably thanks to the faction of her namesake.

Promotional art has the drone front transformed differently than the box images and instructions, failing to flip hip armor and lock into forearms.

Notes

• Though Airachnid turns into a drone in the film, the One toyline and concept artwork feature a mechanical spider as her alternate mode. Her portrayal in the Transformers Roleplaying Game splits the difference by straight up making her a Triple Changer that transforms into both a drone and a spider.
