While out Trick-or-Treating, Sari and company encounter Elita-1 themselves. Optimus listens in on the Trick-or-Treat excursion via an open communicator feed, on edge. A spider decoration reminds Optimus Prime of a disastrous expedition he once took to an alien planet full of spiders, one that cost him his friend Elita-1. The Autobots' human companion Sari Sumdac takes two of the Autobots out on Halloween night to introduce them to the Earth tradition of Trick-or-Treat. Meanwhile, a human organization manages to kidnap Sunstreaker and his human passenger, forcing some Autobots to violate orders in a rescue attempt.Along Came a Spider is the 9th episode of Transformers Animated, a cartoon produced in collaboration between Cartoon Network Studios and Hasbro from 2007 to 2009.

The battle on Earth escalates when Megatron-having arrived on Earth upon hearing of Starscream's planned treachery-calls his one-bot army Sixshot to Earth to terminate the Autobots except Optimus Prime.

The series would have designs similar to 2015's Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon and the series would have a Young Justice-style of animation.Ī small group of Autobots- Ultra Magnus, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Jazz, and Bumblebee-are stationed on Earth, in an attempt to prevent the Decepticon cell from activating their "infiltration protocol", but there turns out to be more than meets the eye to the Decepticon's plans than previously thought. In this series, as it's a modern iteration of an animated Transformers animated series, most Transformers' right forearms have the ability to morph/transform into a blaster/cannon. Also, as this series is a spiritual successor and/or reboot of the original cartoon, some of the human cast will come directly from the original cartoon series such as: Spike Witwicky and Carly Spencer. Similar to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, each season would contain several individual arcs that would all lead into one another. With the series focusing more on the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, the series needs a much more serious tone, but the show would still retain its "fun" factor as well. The tone of the series would be more serious than previous Transformers cartoons. It would also feature several "spotlight" episodes for specific characters. The story would primarily take on Earth, but would also feature the Autobots occasionally traveling to different planets as needed. The Transformers would be the first series in this animated universe.
