*Cybertronians They are also not robots, as the catchphrase may lead you to believe, but inorganic life forms. Transformers Prime is very- drama heavy. So instead of turning around and going back through the portal arachnid just dramatically looked at her army coming through for and stood there. Transformers as a franchise usually leans toward kid like drama, minus the times theres on screen character death due to the fact their able to legally get away with it ( Robots can't be copyrighted as characters,which is also why third parties can get away with selling bootleg toys, some of which better than what Hasbro sells). Hasbro usually fumbles the balls with their franchises (My Little Pony, Power Rangers, Transformers, GI Joe, and D&D) because it doesn't understand its audience and its executives genuinely have made statements that consider their audience to be "in the way" between them and THEIR money
