Background / History

Sun Cheng’s early growth is tied to his cooperation with powerful Decepticons. After obtaining a Level 2 Core, he delays using it because he is wary of Starscream, but Onslaught’s discussion of body strengthening pushes him to request an upgrade so he can better search for Megatron and the AllSpark 36. The resulting body significantly improves his combat ability, though at the cost of much higher energy consumption 37.

In the real world, Sun Cheng builds a growing technological and industrial network. He works through Cybertron Technology Company, develops advanced hard-drive technology based on Cybertronian methods, and pursues cooperation with Nanjing University of Technology and the Southern Capital Supercomputing Center 169 267 293 294 295. He later accelerates the company’s expansion through recruitment, acquisitions, and plans for an Intelligent Machinery Laboratory 500 522 532.

Sun Cheng also becomes a major technology broker between alien resources and Earth governments. He negotiates with China for resources, power facilities, rare earths, metals, and state cooperation, while also dealing with Russia and using geopolitical rivalries to his advantage 215 218 223 224 471 483. His delivery of 14nm lithography machines to the Xia Kingdom becomes a major strategic event, drawing high-level interest from state and military institutions 517 518 522 527 528 530.

As world fusion events escalate, Sun Cheng becomes increasingly vigilant. He recognizes signs that the world of Command & Conquer: Generals is merging with reality after discovering historical inconsistencies around Cheng Shitao, the Governor-General of the Western Regions 303. He interprets the Almaty conflict as an omen that the real world will soon become unstable 302 303.

By later chapters, Sun Cheng commands bases, subordinates, and an expanding black-market network. Trindade Island becomes a thriving exchange point for advanced goods, while he considers sending more resources and engineers to Mars in preparation for future wars 754.

Appearance

Sun Cheng can appear as a massive mechanical warrior when acting as “Frenzy,” large enough to visibly unsettle even experienced national leaders on first sight 349.

• Massive Cybertronian mechanical body 349
• Beast-form transformation after Onslaught’s body strengthening 37
• Later upgraded into an advanced-warrior body 335
• Uses human social identities such as “President Sun” and “Chairman Sun” in the real world 302 532

Personality

Sun Cheng is cautious, calculating, and habitually suspicious. After dealing with intelligence agencies and state actors, he assumes the worst of human nature and expects governments to probe, restrict, or control any unknown force with dangerous influence 520 527.

He is ambitious but pragmatic. Rather than reject Onslaught’s manipulation, he recognizes the bait, accepts the resources left behind, and resolves to strengthen himself into a significant force on Earth 176. He also uses business deals, geopolitical tension, and controlled technological leaks to build influence without exposing everything he controls 223 471 943.

Sun Cheng is skilled at controlling conversations and negotiations. He threatens Colvin with hidden leverage, bargains hard with China, intimidates Russian officials, and takes the lead when meeting state representatives 91 215 516 517. He often withholds information even from friendly contacts, including Xu Chun and Wang Yuan 293 527.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Body Strengthening and Early Cybertronian Growth

Sun Cheng’s weak combat ability after the Davis-Monthan Base operation pushes him to seek Onslaught’s help. His Level 2 Core and upgraded body begin his transition from a low-combat operative into a more capable Cybertronian fighter 36 37.

Building Bases and Independent Forces

After Onslaught leaves advanced equipment behind, Sun Cheng relocates the resources to Base One in Colorado and recognizes that Onslaught intends him to stir chaos on Earth. Instead of rejecting the role, he uses the opportunity to build strength, improve bases, and prepare for future conflicts 176 177.

Diplomacy with China and Russia

Sun Cheng becomes an alien technology broker between major powers. He bargains with China for energy, metals, rare earths, and hydroelectric resources, while simultaneously cooperating with Russia and using both countries’ strategic needs to his advantage 215 218 223 224.

Cybertron Technology Company Expansion

In the real world, Sun Cheng develops Cybertron Technology Company through storage products, cloud-drive plans, supercomputing-center partnerships, acquisitions, and laboratory construction. He uses Cybertronian-derived technology to enter high-end markets while trying to maintain a low public profile 267 291 293 294 295 500 532.

P.C.F. and State Contact

Sun Cheng presents himself as connected to P.C.F., an alleged exchange forum for overseas Chinese scientists and engineers, and uses Little Five to show state representatives restricted technologies. His composure and access lead the Xia Kingdom to test P.C.F. through controlled transactions 516 517 518 521.

Lithography Machine Deal

Sun Cheng arranges the delivery of two 14nm lithography machines through shell companies, port logistics, and careful concealment. The machines’ arrival at Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company becomes a major national-security and defense-development event 522 527 528 530.

World Fusion Crisis

Sun Cheng grows alarmed when events and figures from Command & Conquer: Generals begin appearing in reality. His discovery that Cheng Shitao exists in public records but not in his memory convinces him that the world merger is accelerating and that Central Asia may be only the beginning 302 303.

Global Black Market and War Preparation

By the Trindade Island stage, Sun Cheng’s black market has become an international hub for advanced equipment and resources. He manages growing demand from countries and factions while preparing for wider wars, including possible expansion toward Mars 754.
