"Spidarcee"

"Spidarcee" is a Resistance-allied genetic clone of Arcee with the talent Acid Production.

## Official Bio

*A product of cloning technology recovered from Acadeimos post-fall, fused from the CNA of Autobot Arcee and Maximal Blackarachnia, Spidarcee follows along the mindset and looks of her Autobot 'parent', even having the donor's memories prior to her demise. These memories, although not fully recovered, have proven real useful for both training and navigating Acadeimos' wreckage. Of course, sometimes her voicebox gets stuck repeating phrases like "I'm not just a pretty face", which has lead to a real struggle not to terminate her to spare everyone that fate.*

## History

"Spidarcee" was created by Maelstrom's Resistance Cell, from cloning tech recovered from Acadeimos, using recovered CNA belonging to Arcee and Blackarachnia. "Spidarcee" ended up joining Maelstrom's resistance.

"Spidarcee" was present at the Fortress on Gala Tri, standing with Paralon when Maelstrom entered, confused by her shouting the Neo-Maximal Lio Convoy stepped in with a stasis pod. These events were dreamed about by Transmutate, who told Rung about it in Life Unknown.

When the pod was opened to reveal Transmutate, "Spidarcee" was excited to see the friend from her memories, quickly hugging her before Transmutate could process things. Transmutate reflected on her dream of these events in X - Inner Demons.

"Spidarcee" was later attacked by Neophyte on an unknown world, but was defended by "Mjioner". Transmutate dreamed of these events in A War of Ideals.

During Into the Dark "Spidarcee" decided to do some training with her template Arcee, who had travelled from the past in the *Sentinel Maximus*. Starting in beast mode, "Spidarcee" leapt onto the ceiling to avoid an acid spray and taunted her opponent, who called her tactic unfair. This led "Spidarcee" to tell her "mom" that she'd been fighting an unfair war all her life as she sprayed some acid back, then leapt down and asked if her "mom" comment had been weird. "Spidarcee" was then tossed back by some of Arcee's exploding acid, but she found the experience to be awesome.

Later in Timeline's End "Spidarcee" took part in the final attack on the Citadel, and found herself being one of the few surviving Resistance members left as Cardinal Convoy arrived with extra Omega SPREEMs. She refused to let Maelstrom fight alone so she could ensure that the war she fought for her whole life was won, and she joined her allies in providing the time travelling students cover to the Timegate.

Because the students managed to reach their goal, "Spidarcee" was erased from the timeline once they changed it.

## Powers and Abilities

* Acid Spraying
1/1"Spidarcee" has the ability to produce and project acid, which can have varying effects on the targeted individual, ranging from psychedelic hallucinations to corrosion to causing extreme fatigue in an individual, which can do serious damage to the target when unchecked. She can also stick to ceilings in either mode.

In addition, "Spidarcee" also possesses the ability to change forms, taking on the form of a Mechanical Spider.
