Spider-bots

**Spider-bots** are spider-themed robots created and owned by Team Spidey. TRACE-E is the first spider bot to be created, and has been the only existing spider bot for a period of time, throughout most of Season 1 before TWIST-E was built in the episode TWIST-E. Some time after that, TWIRL-E was created in the short, When Ghosty Met TWIRL-E, causing the number of spider bots to rise from two to three.

However, in the episode Bad Bot, Doc Ock created an evil doppelgänger duplicate of TRACE-E to trick Team Spidey, making the very first spider bot that is not created by the heroes, let alone the very first spider bot that is not friendly nor heroic.

## Individuals

**Team Spidey's Spider bots:**

* TRACE-E, the first spider bot created, her owner and creator is Peter Parker/Spidey. She is first seen in the short WEB-STER.
* TWIST-E, the second spider bot created, his owner and creator is Miles Morales/Spin. He is created and first seen in the Season 1 episode of the same name TWIST-E.
* TWIRL-E, the third spider bot created, her owner and creator is Gwen Stacy/Ghost Spider. She is created and first seen in the short When Ghosty Met TWIRL-E.

**Other Variants:**

* Bad Bot, the fourth spider bot seen in the series, and the first to not be created by Team Spidey members, as its creator is Doc Ock, who created it with the purpose of tricking Team Spidey into thinking that it (Bad Bot) is TRACE-E, in order to lure them into a trap.

## Personality

The Spider bots are all cute and friendly little robots that like being helpful towards others, especially their owners. They are also emotional and sensitive, proven several times throughout the series, with such cases as TRACE-E sadly asking Peter what about her after he called his Aunt May the most important person in his life in the episode Peter's Pendant Perdicament, TWIST-E being upset at the thought of Doc Ock taking him apart to rebuild him to obey her so they can spread destruction all over town in the episode TWIST-E.

Being helpful and successful in helping to solve problems is what makes the spider bots happy, as well as being around their friends and those who are friendly. They seem to know who created them, as their creators tend to become their owners; TRACE-E is created and owned Peter/Spidey, TWIST-E is created and owned by Miles/Spin, TWIRL-E is created and owned by Gwen/Ghost Spider. They show affection towards their owners more than others, like how dogs usually will treat their owners.

So far, the only things that are shown to upset Spider bots are: Making mistakes that can disappoint their owners (TRACE-E mistaking party blasters for web fluid refills and bringing them to Spidey in Spidey Surprise), being captured by villains (TRACE-E when she was trapped in a Jack-O-Lantern carried around by Green Goblin in Trick or TRACE-E, TWIST-E when Doc Ock restrained him in her tentacles in the episode TWIST-E) being in danger (TRACE-E in several episodes such as Goblin Island when she fell off a platform in WEB-Quarters, when she was in Doc Ock's sleigh in A Very Spidey Christmas, when she fell down the drain and was carried away by the rushing water in the sewers in Washed Away).

## Appearance

All the spider bots are robots with a round spheroid shape attached to a smaller base at the bottom which is attached to their eight legs. They all have blue digital eyes.
