Which Spider is more backstabbing/manipulative?

So I was thinking about the two spiders, BlackArachnia and Tarantulas, and I figured I'd throw this question out there: Who do you think is more backstabbing and/or manipulative?

When it comes to Tarantulas, well, it seems that he was a traitor in the Predacon midst all along, since he didn't truly work for Megatron at all. Plus he's always off by himself, scheming, and he even tried to create a way to get off the planet at the expense of leaving everyone else behind.

BlackArachnia, well she has a fair amount of intelligence herself, although she doesn't really do any mad-scientist stuff, so to speak. But she is clever, she uses her feminine wiles to get what she wants, and she will do what it takes to achieve her goals, even if it might lead to self-termination. (I'm referring to the episode where she tried to make herself into a transmetal and almost died because of it.)

So... what're you thoughts? Again I will refrain from voting until I hear other people's opinions.

I gotta say... Well, to me, it's...Tarantulas.

The she-spidr ran off from the predacons, true, as did Tarantulas. BA ran off and had a love affair-thingy with Silverbolt, and than JOINED the Maximals. That's so betrayal...

BUT.

Tarantulas....always conducted plans, and conspired against the Predacons, mostly Megatron. With all of his lairs, obviously keep his distance from the tyrant and the Preds. Leave the Pred's command for a while, "I am no longer part of your command!" (right before the aliens take the birdy-lady and stripes) Than, (I'm jumping around I'm sure I forgot a lot) Ravage, remember; "A mole..." Megatron referred to him as a mole, since Tarry was helping Megatron get captured.

Backstabbing... I for sure think Tarantulas!

Agreed with all of the above. He's like the Starscream of Beast Wars (ok ok that's debatable since everyone's backstabbing each other).
