 * The Spider Alien is an organic creature from the Transformers Animated continuity family.

The Spider Alien is a kind of organic alien living on the Spider planet which Optimus, Sentinel and Elita-1 visited. The scientific or regular name for these creatures is unknown. but it is seemingly very dangerous and for some reason, its eggs look like spherical Energon. The Spider Alien is also the cause of Sentinel Prime's Organic-phobia and his hatred for Optimus Prime.

Animated
When Sentinel, Optimus and Elita-1 went to an organic planet in search of a Decepticon ship and Energon, they were quickly spotted by a team of strange spider-like creatures. After escaping them, Sentinel still refused to leave, until 3 spiders came up and attacked. However, they proved to be no match for Sentinel's shield weapon. When Optimus found the ship, he saw some sort of oval-shaped energon which was actually the eggs of the Spider Alien.

When the team had found each other again, Elita used her downloading power to use Optimus's grapple. However, it soon wore off and she fell to what seemed to be her doom. Sentinel always blamed Optimus for Elita's death and after what he had seen he believed all organic's (even humans) were as dangerous as them. Though amazingly enough she was not offline but rather mutated into a spider robot hybrid and thus had an organic half which masked her energy signature.
