Blackarachnia TFA

[question4-2.livejournal.com]

I'm not the best person to consult about Beast Wars stuff, but I do know this- in Beast Wars, Blacharachnia was a Maximal Protoform reprogramed to be a predacon. In TFA, Blacharachnia used to be Elita-1 before she was hideosly mutated, which apparently made her super bitter toward the Autobots. However, in G1 Elita-1 was about as loyal as you can get. So what if Elita-1 still wanted to rejoin the Autobots after being mutated, assuming that they could fix her, before Megatron landed on the planet where she was stuck and decided that her scientific expertise, as well as her prowess in battle was something that he wanted, and after she refused to defect he got Shockwave to reprogram her to be a decepticon.

I really want to see optimus's reaction to learning something like that- or Elita-1's if she was ever freed from the programming.
