Predatory Jack accompanies Arcee on a routine scouting mission in a forest, where they discover a crashed space ship. They soon discover that the owner of the ship, the deadly and ruthless Decepticon sadist known as Airachnid, is still prowling the forest in search of a human to hunt, putting Jack in danger and causing Arcee to have visions regarding her last encounter with Airachnid on Cybertron during a mission with her partner Tailgate.
