#651 - Chapter 22 Capturing Optimus Prime
The missiles, like a massive net, flew towards Galvatron, attempting to engulf him. At that moment, Galvatron suddenly fragmented into particle form, slipping through the gaps, causing all the missiles to miss. These particles didn't even linger near Bumblebee, passing right by and reassembling into a truck in the distance.
This series of maneuvers completely stunned Bumblebee, his electronic eyes wide with disbelief.
Liu Yuan also watched with great interest, remarking, "Interesting, a very fascinating transformation method. This is completely different from what KSI demonstrated."
Aurora: "Indeed, it's a novel transformation method. However, according to our research, this technology has both advantages and disadvantages."
Liu Yuan: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Aurora: "Certainly, Master. This technology involves programming the transformation elements according to a specific pattern, making them into relatively independent small robots. They then reassemble, allowing for arbitrary changes in form. Moreover, if damaged, these particle robots can quickly replenish themselves, repairing the body's damage. However, there are several drawbacks. First, because they are assembled, the body's strength is much weaker than that of other Transformers. Second, there's the power source. These man-made Transformers do not have a Spark, so their combat endurance is not long. And it has a fatal weakness, which is the head. Did you notice just now, Galvatron's head didn't split into those particles during the transformation process."
Liu Yuan recalled, and indeed, it was as Aurora said. Man-made Transformers have various drawbacks and are not really suitable for the battlefield. "However, this technology is indeed ingenious. It has its merits."
In the scene, Galvatron was already locked in a fierce battle with Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime's heat blade slashed at him dozens of times, but Galvatron's body was quickly repaired. The last strike directly pierced Galvatron's chest, hitting the reaction core.
On Galvatron's ferocious face, a look of mockery appeared. His hands gripped Optimus Prime's arm tightly. Suddenly, he spoke: "Optimus Prime, my brother, you didn't expect this, did you? I have returned."
Optimus Prime was only slightly surprised. Soon, he stirred the heat blade in Galvatron's chest: "What's going on? So you don't have a Spark, a soulless thing. Just a walking corpse."
Megatron then said, "That's why I fear nothing! Now it's your turn, prepare to die!" Immediately, he exerted force with both hands, forcibly breaking the heat blade and disintegrating it into pieces within the reaction core. Then, he slammed a fist hard into Optimus Prime's face.
This scene stunned everyone in the control room. Military Liaison Officer: "The emergency center has been contacted. There are a large number of civilian casualties here. We need city-level medical teams to come and rescue."
Joshua grabbed Attinger and pulled him aside, saying, "The situation is getting out of control. I told you it hadn't finished testing. Putting it on the battlefield too early would be a disaster. Their battle has affected civilians. At least dozens have died."
Attinger said, "So what? My friend, you are making history. We are doing something to save the future of all mankind. Civilians die every moment in this world. We must strive to make their sacrifices more valuable."
The battle continued, and Galvatron's disadvantage gradually became apparent. Optimus Prime reversed the situation, suppressing him and punching him repeatedly in the head.
"Boom!" A shell passed through Optimus Prime's chest, and when the warhead exploded, the front metal shaped charge liner was melted by the high temperature, forming a stream of liquid metal, disrupting Optimus Prime's normal operation. He fell heavily to the ground.
Just as Optimus Prime struggled to get up, another armor-piercing explosive round hit his chest, directly dismantling Optimus Prime's resistance. It was only then that people noticed the huge spaceship obscuring the sky.
Joshua: "What is that?"
Attinger: "That's my partner. It's over. Call Galvatron back!"
Everyone looked at Joshua. Joshua nodded and said, "Do as he says. Recall both Galvatron and Stinger!"
Lockdown's tall figure walked out of the smoke, a massive cannon barrel on his head. The two shots just now were fired by him. Seeing that Optimus Prime had lost his ability to resist, Lockdown deactivated his weapons.
Having received the order, Galvatron walked past Optimus Prime, glanced at him subconsciously, and then transformed into a truck and drove away.
Lockdown came to Optimus Prime and said coldly, "Optimus Prime! I truly feel sorry for you. You risked your life to protect humanity, and in the end, it was the people you saved who betrayed you."
Optimus Prime: "Lockdown, you notorious cosmic bounty hunter, why did you come to Earth to oppose the Autobots?"
Lockdown: "Cosmic bounty hunter? I prefer to be called a bounty hunter. Of course, I came for you. Someone paid a high price to take you back to Cybertron."
Optimus Prime: "Who? Are you working for the Decepticons?"
Lockdown: "Hehehe, Optimus Prime, what do you think you are? Our race is just a tool created to be used. Now our creators want to reclaim you. We are all working for someone else. The freedom you think you have does not exist." After speaking, Lockdown waved his hand, and an aircraft hovered in mid-air, dropping a huge steel net, covering Optimus Prime.
"Run, get out of here!" Optimus Prime used his last strength to open a gap in the net, sending Tessa out.
Tessa fell from a height, but fortunately, Cade and Shane ran over and caught her, preventing her from getting injured.
It wasn't until then that Bumblebee and Hound arrived, looking at the spacecraft that had already taken off. In frustration, they kicked away the wreckage of a car: "Damn it, they took Optimus Prime!"
Bumblebee: "Don't worry, the ship hasn't left Earth yet, we still have a chance. It's approaching the city, let's follow it and see if we can sneak onto the ship."
Drift glanced at Cade and the others and said, "Then what about these humans?"
Cade: "Take me with you, Optimus Prime has been captured, I want to help too."
Bumblebee: "No, it's too dangerous. Once the ship enters space, humans cannot survive on a Cybertronian ship."
Cade: "Aren't we comrades? You shouldn't abandon me."
Crosshairs: "Bumblebee is right, human, the next battle belongs to us Autobots. If we have the chance, we will see you again."
