Best at Winning People Over with Reason

Unfortunately, while Optimus Prime looked Optimus Prime, he seemed to have forgotten that he was pulling a carriage behind him when he transformed. This caused Jetfire inside a lot of trouble, as he was tossed around several times. Luckily, he wasn't sent away beforehand!

When Jetfire finally managed to climb out of the overturned carriage, he saw Optimus Prime like a war god, wielding a cannon to the left and a sword to the right, wreaking havoc in all directions, majestic and awe-inspiring!

"Wait, wait until I... recover, then I'll teach you a lesson!"

Despite his old bones, Jetfire, leaning on his cane, shouted, "Autobots, attack... cough cough, attack!"

"Never mind, you should just stay here."

Alvin, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer. He stopped Jetfire from attacking and covered his face, saying, "Looking like you are, going up there will only make things worse for Optimus Prime."

That's right. Although Optimus Prime is injured, he's still in his prime and can handle a few humans without any problem. But Jetfire is a different story. He loses three parts every two steps. Going up there would just be more trouble than help!

Despite his resentment, Jetfire watched Optimus Prime Optimus Prime and silently compared himself to the rusty body, ultimately sighing helplessly.

Who would have known that it, like Optimus Prime, was once one of the Decepticons' most powerful warriors?

On the other side, Optimus Prime easily broke through humanity's defenses.

But just then, the wall next to them suddenly collapsed.

A jet-black metallic figure, like a cheetah, pounced out from within, its curved, sharp blade slashing fiercely and unpredictably towards Optimus Prime!

The timing of that strike was extremely precise!

It was precisely when Optimus Prime was careless and relaxed, and the angle chosen was so sharp that it had no chance to dodge!

Alvin's eyes flickered, and he was about to unleash his Psychic Power when he heard a furious roar from beside him, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Decepticons scum!!!"

It was Jetfire; it had acted a step ahead, as if it had foreseen the Decepticons' sneak attack, and unleashed its fully charged energy cannon.

Boom!

A powerful surge of kinetic energy deflected the blade.

Optimus Prime noticed the sneak attack from behind, turned around, and unleashed a powerful punch that slammed into the attacker's face, sending him flying!

"Ahem, see that? Optimus Prime... Ahem, you still have a lot to learn!" Jetfire seemed to have regained his confidence, proudly raising his head with an air of superiority.

Optimus Prime was also covered in cold sweat. If it hadn't been for Jetfire, it would have died again. It glared angrily at the person who had ambushed it. "It was you... Barricade!"

The person who suddenly attacked it just now was Barricade from the Decepticons' faction. No wonder he's so good at ambushes!

Just as the enraged Optimus Prime was about to take down the barricade, another figure emerged from the broken wall. "Wait, Optimus Prime."

One sentence froze Optimus Prime in place, causing him to stiffly turn his head to look at the figure.

Staring at that familiar face and crimson body, Optimus Prime stood there stunned for a full half minute, still seemingly unable to believe it. "Really, it's you? Sentinel Prime!"

"It's me."

After a moment of silence, a complex look appeared in Sentinel Prime's eyes, but it quickly turned into determination.

Optimus Prime remained silent, then turned his gaze to Barricade, the Decepticons standing beside Sentinel Prime. He clenched his fist, his voice hoarse and low, as if carrying the pent-up anger within him. "You joined the Decepticons... why?!"

Alvin had said it before, but he still couldn't imagine that the once great Autobots leader, Sentinel Prime, would turn to the Decepticons!

How outrageous is this?

It's as absurd as someone discovering that the mustachioed man isn't dead, then turning around and finding out it's the neighbor's bear!

"Does the reason matter?"

Sentinel Prime sighed softly, slowly drawing his sword and shield, and looked at Optimus Prime: "If I told you that I did this... to rebuild Cybertron, would you agree?"

"Joining the Decepticons will rebuild Cybertron?!" Optimus Prime still clung to a last glimmer of hope that Sentinel Prime might see the error of his ways. "We've found a new path, and we can do it just as well..."

"Is it reliant on humans?"

Sentinel Prime raised his sword, a cold smile on his face, "Look at yourself now, Optimus Prime... This is the result of your belief in humanity. I am different from you. I will rebuild a new Cybertron in my own way!"

"No, Sentinel Prime..." A hint of humanity appeared on Optimus Prime's mechanical face, a mixture of anger at Sentinel Prime for betraying the Autobots ideals and a deep sorrow. "Have you forgotten what you once said?"

"I haven't forgotten, Optimus Prime!"

Sentinel Prime drew his double-edged sword, his face expressionless, only resolute and determined. "I did nothing wrong. I'm just rebuilding our home in my own way!"

He is the leader, and his obsession is to resurrect Cybertron!

However, the Autobots' outdated ideas had driven Sentinel Prime to despair. It knew very well that what it needed to revive Cybertron was not peace, but resources—astronomical amounts of resources!

Humanity will never provide Cybertron with massive amounts of resources just to resurrect them; from the very beginning, there was no room for reconciliation between the two!

"You're too naive, Optimus Prime." Sentinel Prime gripped his blade, seemingly having finally made a decision. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "I don't care about Autobots or Decepticons. I only care about Cybertron. That... is my principle!"

Decepticons or Autobots!

Sentinel Prime doesn't care about identity, stance, or faction at all, as long as he can revive Cybertron!

In some ways, Sentinel Prime's ideology is very "pure"; all its actions are based on rebuilding its home and resurrecting Cybertron!

Clap clap clap!

Just then, a sudden burst of applause eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

Sentinel Prime frowned, then turned to Alvin, who was clapping beside him. "So you're the alien life form that Megatron mentioned, the one who coveted Cybertron?"

Judging from its reaction, Megatron seemed to have said something unpleasant, but Alvin didn't seem to mind, nodding slightly. "Hello, Sentinel Prime, my name is Alvin Valshius. I hope you will remember it; it's important."

I don't care what your name is.

Sentinel Prime sneered, swung his battle blade horizontally, and a fierce gust of wind swept through the air, sending pebbles flying along with the blade's force.

However, Optimus Prime blocked the rubble and blades of wind, and then, after seeing Alvin's signal, respectfully took two steps back.

"Hmph, Optimus Prime, is this your choice?"

Seeing this, Sentinel Prime became even more enraged, his gaze turning grim as he said, "To actually submit to an alien life form? Where is your dignity as a leader?!"

Excuse me for interrupting.

Alvin waved his hand and smiled, "Optimus Prime is no longer the leader of the Autobots, but rather, I have personally appointed him... as the family knight of the Valshius Family, Sentinel Prime."

"You Corruption... Optimus Prime!"

Enraged, Sentinel Prime gripped his sword even tighter.

"No, it is you Corruption, Sentinel Prime." Optimus Prime disagreed, shaking his head and saying in a deep voice, "Lord Alvin promised us that he would rebuild our home, Cybertron!"

"Ridiculous!"

Only Optimus Prime could believe such a ridiculous lie. Sentinel Prime, of course, wouldn't. It sneered and looked at Alvin with disdain, "You? A lowly creature like an ant, dare to say... 'help us rebuild our home'?"

"You don't believe me?"

Alvin was not annoyed at all and continued to smile.

"Hmph, why should I believe that?"

The Sentinel Prime stood proudly, its battle blade swirling. "Unless you can prove to me that you are qualified!"

"Okay, no problem."

Alvin's smile grew even brighter, "Perfect, I'm... best at persuading people with reason!"
