Wang Dong wasn't stingy in the slightest.
He immediately scattered nearly a hundred Tracking Beacons across the Cybertronian Civilization's Military Base, planting one on each chosen target like flowers in the wind.

Instead, he focused on vessels that looked like support or transport ships—ships unlikely to face off against the Sky Peng Horizontal head-on later.

Aside from their hull sizes, the two unidentified warships share many stylistic details.
