Joshua's expression darkened.

Whether it was the military or KSI itself, both wanted to create mechanical warriors like the Autobots—relatively mild-tempered and easy to control.

Over the past few years, the Decepticons had brought devastating disasters to the United States.

Although American research institutions had also acquired quite a few Decepticon corpses for study.

No one liked the Decepticons. Even a similar appearance would provoke dissatisfaction from KSI's future primary buyer—the U.S. military.

Joshua asked Steven Foch unhappily.

Steven Foch opened his mouth, then finally pointed at the glass wall not far away, indicating that Joshua should keep watching for himself.

After more than two years and an enormous investment of supplies and money, the Beetle car KSI had built in the laboratory began to change once data was input into it and activated.

Large sections of the car body that had originally been connected began splitting apart into fish-scale-like structures of varying sizes, twitching irregularly.

At the same time, continuous crackling sounds produced by gears and metal grinding against each other came from within the Beetle car.

The researchers surrounding it had already backed away several meters.

Like Joshua, they watched the
