Ida
From Transformers Wiki
- Ida is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Ida (イダ) is the Arms Micron partner of Airachnid, whom she refers to as "mom". She's quite eager to show off her skills and has the most adorable little voice, traits that make her popular even amongst the Autobot Arms Microns.

After studying up on weapon linking, Ida wanted to show off the results of her training to C.L. and the smitten B.B., whom she considered her seniors. Combining with the two Autobots into the Black Widow Claw, she happily announced that they had formed a Combo Weapon! C.L. had to point out to her that since she had the same Energon Crystal shape as him, the Claw was only a generic combination and not a Combo Weapon, causing her to realize she hadn't studied hard enough. B.B. remained infatuated with her, despite C.L. reminding him that she was, you know, a spider. Hopeful Transformation! Aim for Planet Cybertron
When invited to combine with Hades, Ida refused, as she knew Hades was a Super Combo Weapon already, meaning it was impossible for any combination to be stronger than he already was and thus Ida would get nothing out of it. Upon overhearing this, the other Arms Microns combined with Hades realized she was right and left. Clashing Transformation! The Dark Commander Appears Ida was off training by herself when Airachnid was captured by the Autobots, causing her much distress. Hellflame Guru, Shining Gura B and Terrorcon Zori offered to help her with their Solar Ion Arrow combination, only for Airachnid herself to show up out of nowhere and chastise Ida for calling her "mom" instead of "big sister". Ida claimed to understand... and promptly continued calling her mom. Infinite Transformation! Multiplying Enemies She was later part of the Gravity Planet Bowgun when Gora summoned it to do battle with O.P.'s Advanced Star Saber. Sonic Transformation! Ratchet's Recipe
During an Arms Micron popularity contest based on viewer votes, Ida came in first place! She was elated by these news, but Arc wasn't and suspected foul play from the host, O.P., when he let slip that he thought Ida was cute. Sky Dance Transformation! The Suicidal Skydive When all the Arms Microns got together to thank the viewers for their time together, Ida was present and waved happily at the audience one last time. Ultimate Transformation!
