"Oh ho! Wow wow wow... Oh oh oh oh... This feels so good, I feel younger!"

In the empty square of the military base, the Skyfire lay on the ground with his legs spread apart, his hands covering his head, swaying from side to side, and making comfortable humming sounds.

The ambulance was positioned between Skyfire's legs. As a medical worker accompanying the army, he said that he had performed surgeries to remove oil pipelines, and patching leaks in oil pipelines was child's play.

But once the surgery began, the ambulance driver regretted it. Skyfire was not only a chatterbox, but also a vulgar old scoundrel who kept spewing profanities.

After the surgery, Skyfire patted the fuel tank between his legs and said with satisfaction, "Young man, your skills are really good. You have no idea how long this damn problem embarrassed me."

Ambulance. "..."

The most embarrassed person now is me. You made me go from a technical worker to a technical worker.

"By the way, what exactly is wrong with this? Is the oil pipe clogged?"

"How did you fix it? Did you unplug it?"

"How did you get it open, by blowing or sucking?"

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

Ambulance. "..."

I suddenly remembered that you should have a vocal cord removal surgery.

It was supposed to be a perfectly healthy surgery, but because of Skyfire's terrible dialogue, it immediately turned into something unhealthy. The ambulance driver could even feel his comrades pointing and whispering behind his back, and the human soldiers in the distance, many of them trying not to laugh.

Skyfire got up from the ground with his crutches, took a couple of steps and then stopped. The ambulance driver thought he was tired, but Skyfire turned around unsteadily, pointed to the armor on his buttocks and complained, "Young man, take another look at this, it's a bit itchy, it might be rusty."

Visible resentment emanated from the ambulance as he ejected his arm weapon, preparing for a brutal injection therapy. But ultimately, he was a kind-hearted person dedicated to saving lives, and after cursing his bad luck, he retracted his arm weapon and lifted the armor on the back of Skyfire's rear end.

Bang!

A cannon shot rang out, startling everyone. Whether human soldiers or Autobots, they all thought the despicable Decepticon were about to turn on their saviors. However, the next second, they all put down their weapons, speechless with shock.

As the ambulance lifted its protective shield, he was immediately blown down by a cloud of yellowish, turbid air. Just as he was filled with grief and indignation, a parachute was ejected along with the airflow, completely covering his body.

"Waaaaahh..."

The parachute lines snapped, Skyfire's old arms and legs couldn't support him, causing him to fall and land heavily on the lap of the ambulance.

The Autobots lowered their cannons, and to save face for the ambulance, they all simultaneously looked away and whistled into the sky. The America soldiers in the base were also quite tactful, nodding and chatting, pretending not to have seen what had just happened. Even those who couldn't help themselves turned away to smirk.

The scene was too beautiful for Ironhide to bear. He opened his mouth several times before finally managing to gather his thoughts. "Mr. Russell, can he really make Optimus Prime stronger?"

Ironhide figured that Skyfire wasn't the enemy; he was Decepticon spy infiltrated into the Autobots' ranks, there specifically to sabotage them!

Russell remained silent, having not spoken since the beginning. He was preoccupied with the two cards he had acquired through the system notification. Because he coveted the Skyfire's Teleportation ability, he had initiated the lottery without hesitation the moment the other party triggered it twice.

[Character Card: Skyfire (A highly senior Transformers with leader-level strength, but due to his age, he currently only serves as a mascot)]

[Skill Card: Spatial Transfer (Transcends three-dimensional space between two points, appearing at another point simultaneously. This skill requires the object to possess strong gravity or energy.)]

If we could turn back time to when Skyfire was young, these two cards would have been incredibly valuable. But now, using them would only drag down his teammates and would almost certainly lead to his own demise.

"It was too hasty. I should have observed the situation first before drawing the prizes..." A faint sadness welled up in Russell's heart, and he felt like crying. If he had known this would happen, he would have left the two prize draws for later.

Now he shares the same question as Ironhide: Skyfire is ridiculously weak. Can he still help Optimus Prime strengthen? Or will they end up even weaker after fusing, like Goku and Mr. Satan?

Originally, Russell didn't expect Skyfire to become a fighting force. He had two purposes in waking him up: first, to help him teleport to Egypt and avoid the Decepticon's aerial patrols; and second, to give Optimus Prime equipment after reviving Optimus Prime, so that Optimus Prime's strength would be further enhanced.

But now, Russell doesn't quite understand why he became weaker after waking up the Skyfire a while earlier than expected.

After much thought, Russell could only conclude that it was due to the AllSpark fragments. In the original story, Sam gave Skyfire energy, but he did not do so. Naturally, the awakened Skyfire was on the verge of death, panting and unable to speak after taking only a few steps.

So, should we use the AllSpark to enhance the Skyfire now?

Are you kidding me? Rather than reinforcing him, Russell feels he's more reliable!

"Hey kid over there, come here, I have something to ask you." Skyfire called out to Ironhide, looking like an old man who needed care and didn't want to walk.

Ironhide rolled his eyes, looking disgusted and pretending not to hear. Seeing this, Skyfire was naturally furious. He leaned on the hanging account and walked over shakily. The hundred-meter distance almost made him breathless, and the road was covered with metal parts.

"Kids, you're Autobots, right?" Skyfire plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, and said, "I can tell you're all good lads. The fact that you're not angry even after I've made things so difficult for you shows your noble character."

Ironhide: "..."

Russell: "..."

Russell glanced behind Skyfire, where Ratchet was being pinned to the ground by Jazz and Sideswipe, roaring that he wanted to tear Skyfire to pieces. He wasn't angry, he was just furious.

Is the war still raging on Cybertron? Or has it already ended?

Ironhide frowned and said in a deep voice, "The war is over, and the victors are you Decepticon."

"Tsk tsk, this is really bad..." Skyfire sighed in regret, then said, "Since the Decepticon have won, I'm switching sides to the Autobots now."

Ironhide: "..."

No need, please be kind enough to let us off the hook.

"You little brat, what kind of look is that? Are you looking down on me?" Skyfire glared, stood up with his cane, and spat on Ironhide's face. "I made this decision after a fierce internal struggle, and it's definitely not because I was captured by you."

At this point, Skyfire's aged voice suddenly carried a hint of melancholy. "No one wants to live in hatred, but if the Decepticon gain power, they will destroy the entire universe!"

Ironhide wholeheartedly agreed, but he still refused to accept Skyfire, shrugging and saying, "I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to approve your joining the Autobots; Optimus Prime's permission is required."

"Optimus Prime! Who's that? The current leader of the Autobots?"

Skyfire instantly perked up, but when he followed the direction Ironhide pointed and saw Optimus Prime's corpse, he was struck dumb as if by lightning, and after a long while, he slumped back to the ground.

"Super Leader...why...there was clearly a descendant of a supreme being, why...he died...it's too late to say anything now." Skyfire muttered to himself, his electronic eyes flickering between disappointment and despair, as if he might die at any moment.

"We have the AllSpark Key, which can revive Optimus Prime, a living super-leader."

Upon hearing this voice, the light from Skyfire's electronic eye gradually stabilized. He looked at Russell, who had spoken, with a puzzled expression. "You miniature vertebrate... I was just about to ask you this, you're the one who awakened me, aren't you?"

"Hey, old man, be more polite to Mr. Russell." Ironhide snorted in dissatisfaction, brandishing his cannon as if in threat.

"It's me!"

Skyfire looked down at Russell from its high vantage point, tilting its head and looking left and right, spending a few minutes circling Russell: "How strange, you're clearly a carbon-based life form, yet you understand our knowledge. Where... did you learn that?"

"That's not important!"

"No, this is very important!" Skyfire put down his cane, braced himself with his hands on the ground, and pressed his face close to Russell's. His electronic eyes stared intently at Russell: "I can sense the information of the AllSpark within you. This... this is truly terrifying. Just who are you?"

"A magician!"

"What?" Skyfire was completely bewildered. What did "magician" mean?

Ironhide and the others were all startled by Skyfire's words, but Russell's answer dispelled their doubts. Having witnessed his endless tricks, they thought that nothing a magician would do would be surprising.

"We can sit down and talk about the magicians later. Now, let's get back to the main point. The AllSpark Key is in our hands, and we can revive Optimus Prime at any time..." Russell pointed to Optimus Prime's corpse and continued, "But the enemy is very powerful. Besides the Decepticon, there's also the Fallen on Earth. Optimus Prime needs your power."

"That's right, the Super Leader needs my power. In my entire life as Decepticon, I've never done anything meaningful, except this time..." Skyfire paused abruptly, his gaze flickering as he looked at Russell: "How do you know all this? There's no reason for it."

Russell didn't explain further, but smiled mysteriously, "I know a lot, such as your fate. You will die!"

Skyfire was speechless upon hearing this, then burst into laughter after a long while, saying firmly, "Yes, I am dead, but Skyfire's glory will live on forever, and I have no regrets!"

"Very good. Before Optimus Prime is resurrected, I can make a decision for him and allow you to join the Autobots. Of course, this is temporary. Once Optimus Prime is resurrected, you can apply to him in person." Russell said, glancing at Ironhide and Jazz. After they nodded slightly, he continued, "The AllSpark Key is in Egypt, and the Fallen and Decepticon are there too. You should know their purpose, right?"

Skyfire frowned. "I know! The descendant of the Supreme One is dead, the Fallen has appeared on Earth. He has come for the Energy Matrix. Time is of the essence, and we must set off now."

"It's a bit far, are you sure you can manage?"

"It is indeed a bit far, I need your help..." Skyfire stood up with his cane and said thankfully, "It's so good to meet you here. You can assist me from now on, and we'll set off now."

Russell's eyes lit up. Even a broken ship has some nails left, and Skyfire certainly didn't disappoint him. "What should I do?"

"Heh heh, miniature vertebrate, you underestimate the culture of Cybertron." Skyfire said smugly, "Although you have learned a lot, you don't know how to use it. I will be responsible for locating the spatial nodes. You just need to follow my instructions."

How many people can you bring?

"We can bring all the Autobots here with us."
