An Unpleasant Reunion (Part 1)

"It's a thermal differential weapon!"

Optimus Prime wiped away the thin layer of frost that had begun to form across the surface of his body due to the freezing temperatures, his expression grim.

Leading a team of faster Autobot warriors, he had arrived at the battlefield at the first possible moment after the missiles struck.

Yet the white, snow-covered world before them made Optimus Prime and the Autobot soldiers under his command look grim.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky. The temperature here was forty to fifty degrees Celsius lower than it had been over a hundred kilometers away, reaching roughly minus forty degrees Celsius.

This was not even the center of the missile explosions. One could only imagine how low the temperature at the epicenter had fallen when those thermal differential bombs detonated.

Even so, the moment Optimus Prime and the others arrived nearby, they witnessed scenes of human tragedy.

In this world seemingly buried beneath ice and snow, trees that had evolved to withstand the low temperatures of the far north were now covered in thick ice over vast stretches. Without question, they had already lost their lives.

What moved Optimus Prime even more was the information returned by the scouting signals he had sent out.

In concealed areas within forests and river valleys, Cemetery Wind soldiers had likewise been frozen into pillars of ice by the cold.

"Can humans make thermal differential bombs too?"

An Autobot soldier murmured softly.

Optimus Prime thought for a moment, then shook his head. "America's Sector Seven has studied the AllSpark and Megatron's body for nearly a century. Their technology is indeed far ahead of other human nations, and they should be capable of producing some temperature-based weapons. But thermal differential bombs of this power are beyond Earth's current technological capabilities!"

"Besides,
