However, if Megs was serious and Tarantulus and his masters were descendants of Unicron, I wondered how this could be. My theory is this, that Tarantulus and the Tripredicus Council are descended from Galvatron's old shock troops, The Sweeps, who fought under the guidance of Scourge. The Sweeps were Decepticons born from the nearly slagged forms of the Insecticons, who as we know were not on board the Ark with Megatron and the his troops when it crashed (they instead escaped the crashing Nemesis in the escape pods). In short, I think the insecticons and the Sweeps are the ancestors of the Tripredicus Council and old eight legs, cause since the Insecticons were reconfigured into the Sweeps, they could be construed of as Unicron's Spawn. Plus, the destruction of the Ark and all its Autobot and Decepticon occupants (the ultimate plan of Tarantulus and the Council) would not effect the Insecticons/Sweeps or their descendants since they weren't on board the ship. This is just my theory, I could be dead wrong (for all I know you guys read info in a BW book somewhere that proves otherwise or have already discussed this topic in an older post and come to a different conclusion). However, if this topic hasn't be discussed yet and the origins of eight legs and his Tripredicus leaders is still open to debate, then please do feel free to add your own theories or to agree or disagree with my origin theory idea. Peace out!
