1* Even in the English dub (mostly its overuse of the phrase [[CatchPhrase Arachna Power]]). The very first time Hunter transforms has got to be one of the awesome moments of the series.
2--> '''Invectid Officer''': Me! Beaten by a child!\
3'''Hunter''': I'm not a child! (''promptly stabs the Invectid machine'')
4* Despite spending most of their time getting beaten senseless, Hunter and Shadow did some excellent fighting in episode 3.
5* The flashback scene in episode 5, with King Arachna and his Spider battling side-by-side against the Invectids. [[SuperHeroOrigin The fact that the battle led to the origins of the Spider Riders doesn't hurt.]]
6* Seeing [[BunnyEarsLawyer lazy Prince Lumen]] take action in episode 7 was well worth the wait. [[BadassPacifist He even fought without throwing a single punch]], yet [[LetsGetDangerous the best part is when he lets his spider Ebony out to play]].
7* The first time Hunter and Shadow used the Oracle Key to destroy the Battle Beetle in episode 13.
8--> '''Hunter''': In Oracle's name, you chose the wrong Spider Rider to kick around!
9* While Stags let his HonorBeforeReason mentality ruin it, Grasshop's scheme to steal Hunter's Oracle Key in the episode "Stags's Challenge" worked pretty well. As Grasshop said:
10-->[[StrawmanHasAPoint "You don't need brute strength when all it takes to win are wits and an opportunistic nature."]]
11** Of course, anytime Hunter and Stags throw down is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
12--> '''Hunter''': You'll never win, Stags! Hear me?! Never!
13--> '''Stags''': I am an Invectid warrior! I shall fight to the end!
14* Despite it being a mostly funny episode, episode 20 has a very poignant moment at the end. When Hunter tries to end Grasshop's life once and for all... and then misses. He takes a moment to look at the audience and realizes that Quake wouldn't do that.
15* While they're not on par with the [[SuperTeam Spider Riders]], the [[WeAreTeamCannonFodder normal human members of the Arachna army]] put up a good fight against the invading Invectid forces in episode 25.
16* In the episode "Protectors of Life", Grasshop not only manages to sneak up on the Battle Beetle, but manages to remove its regeneration component without Buguese noticing.
17--> '''Buguese''': Someone must have removed the regeneration device! Grasshop!
18* It's impressive watching Hunter and Corona working together in episode 40 to put their Key in the orb. Though admittedly it's Corona who's doing almost all the work.
19* Gotta give credit to the Invectid Sergeant who let Grasshop and the Spider Riders slip into Mantid's Palace. [[SuddenPrincipledStand The guy really stuck his neck out to do the right thing]], and on a hunch no less.
20--> '''Grasshop''': Thank you, Sergeant. I knew you were a good soldier!
21--> '''Invectid Sergeant''': You will find many in the ranks who are tired of fighting this pointless war.
22* Quake's transformation into his youthful form and subsequent attack on Mantid and his 'Ark of Destiny' in "Faces of Fear".
23--> '''Mantid''': Don't be a fool! No mere human can overcome my power, Quake!
24--> '''Quake''': (''breaks the barrier surrounding Mantid's ship'') The Spider Riders fight for all life!
25** [[PapaWolf Grasshop]] going [[TheBerserker berserk]] to shield Sparkle from one of Mantid's attacks.
26* Almost all of the fights in "Arachna Power" qualify as awesome. Let's not forget the part when Hunter spares Mantid's life and offers him his hand in friendship.
27--> '''Hunter''': (''lowers his sword'') [[AllLovingHero I fight, because I want to protect every living thing. That means I'll protect you too.]]
28--> '''Mantid''': What was that?
29--> '''Hunter''': [[YouAreNotAlone You're not alone]], Mantid. [[AFriendInNeed Let us help you now.]]
30--> '''Mantid''': You, you want to help me?
31** Also counts as a SugarWiki/{{heartwarming moment|s}}.
