Cooperation Begins

In the end, after a series of examinations confirmed that the AllSpark was indeed inside Dilos's heart, Optimus Prime agreed to Dilos's request.

Although the other Autobots were dissatisfied, since it was Optimus Prime's decision, they would firmly obey his orders. It was just that whenever they saw Dilos or Thundercracker, their expressions were far from pleasant.

After that, he used Shadowcat's power to let the AllSpark pass through his body and fixed it in the position of his heart with telekinesis.

At Dilos's current level, he could already bring out roughly eighty percent of the effects of the powers he possessed. Localized matter phasing, while ensuring his own health and survival, was still within his capabilities.
