Since Blackout no longer wanted him involved in tracking Megatron and the AllSpark, whether it was because Blackout looked down on his combat strength or was simply overconfident was none of Sun Cheng's concern. So he raised no objections.
As for Blackout telling him to keep an eye on Starscream, Sun Cheng did not take it to heart at all.
What a joke!
Ever since Soundwave had fallen victim to Starscream's treachery, the latter had never contacted him again. Yet Sun Cheng had detected suspected Decepticon activity within the United States more than once. The frequencies were not only varied, but were also steadily increasing. What unsettled him even more was that many of those Decepticon frequency groups did not exist in his database.
This undoubtedly showed that after forcing Soundwave into hibernation, Starscream's forces had been rapidly expanding.
Sun Cheng had no doubt that if Starscream learned he possessed intelligence on the [AllSpark], he would never let him go.
So, after being disdainfully cast aside by Blackout, he was more than happy to take it easy and leisurely flew back to his base in Colorado.
Onslaught had not contacted him. Since Sun Cheng did not know whether that guy had finished the body he had promised him, he was in no hurry to seek him out.
For several days straight, he remained in his base studying the production-type Decepticon he had gotten from Onslaught. At the same time, Sun Cheng began considering how he could quickly improve his combat power under the limitations of his current body.
His two rapid-fire machine guns were not bad. As long as he was not engaged in assaulting fortified positions, they were adequate for dealing with human soldiers and the like.
But their power was simply too limited.
