Skyfire's Glory Is Eternal
Chirp chirp!
Russell used Character Card to cover his skin, instantly transforming into the likeness of Skyfire, a hunched old man holding a cane. It wasn't over yet; the power of the AllSpark was channeled into his entire body, and he manipulated information to continuously alter his decaying form.
As the energy shield filled, the aged body slowly straightened, resetting to its peak and transforming into a giant robot 10 meters tall. The mottled rust peeled away, revealing black armor that seemed to absorb light like a black hole. Eight sharp swords folded behind the back, exuding a chilling aura.
The cane that the elderly version of Skyfire used for getting around has now transformed into a double-headed spear, like two longswords with their ends joined together. The spearhead and blade are sharp, and with a slight shake, they produce a resounding sound that tears through the air.
With his energy fully restored, Russell retrieved the AllSpark fragment and raised his arm to take a look. It turned out that the paint on Skyfire's surface wasn't black, but a dark blue; it was only perceived as black because the color was so deep.
"Skyfire, you're right, those arrogant Decepticon are indeed trash." Russell clenched his fist tightly, a surge of power coursing through his body. The younger version of Skyfire was too strong.
It was a level stronger than the Starscream enhanced by the AllSpark, especially the energy shield covering its entire body, which was so tough that he didn't know how to describe it. It was definitely at the level of a leader.
Ambulance and Skyfire were completely dumbfounded. Ambulance knew that Russell had the ability to transform and had even transformed into Starscream on the battlefield in Los Angeles, but he was still deeply shocked when he saw the transformation process for the first time.
The Skyfire was slightly stronger than the ambulance; having seen many storms, it quickly regained its senses. Seeing Russell transformed into himself, he felt no anger at the infringement of his image rights; instead, he danced with childlike joy, shouting, "Yes, that's it! Go kill them..."
Thump!
Skyfire got a little carried away and stumbled, falling hard. He lay on the ground looking up at his younger self, his red electronic eyes filled with pride. "Go, you are the strongest!"
As he spoke, Skyfire shakily stretched out a hand.
Russell understood immediately. Instead of helping the old man up, he bent down and gave him a high five. "Skyfire, what was that line you said again?"
Skyfire was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "I'll say it one last time, remember this well: Skyfire's glory Eternity and indestructible!"
"Receive!"
Russell held the spear behind his back with his right hand, his left hand loosely clenched towards the ground, blue arcs of Electric Arc crackling across his body. Before setting off, he gave Skyfire a deep look. "I saw it, your last moment was dazzling!"
"That's right, you tiny vertebrate, how come you talk more than an old man? Hurry up and teach them a lesson, I can't wait to see you wreak havoc." Skyfire laughed and waved his arm, making a gesture to allow takeoff.
"As you wish!"
Buzzing—
With a piercing bang, Russell vanished without a trace amidst the flashing Electric Arc.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—
On the desert battlefield, flames soared into the sky, explosions rang out incessantly, and clusters of red fireballs rose everywhere as the Decepticon's carpet bombing ravaged the ground.
Bumblebee and his crew fled in disarray amidst the Heat Wave, realizing their whereabouts had been exposed, and likely intentionally by the Decepticon. They immediately turned away from their contact point, striving to ensure Optimus Prime's body would not be discovered.
With no cover on the ground, Hornet and his crew couldn't even find a suitable opportunity to counterattack. Faced with the overwhelming bombardment, they could only follow a zigzag route, trying their best to dodge the artillery fire falling from the sky.
Whoosh!
Boom!!
A beam blast swayed and rose into the air, hitting an F-16 Fighting Falcon that was diving at low altitude. It failed to break through the shield but knocked the aircraft off balance and crashed to the ground with a bang, transforming into a Decepticon robot that was over 7 meters tall.
Shot down from mid-air, the Decepticon roared repeatedly, its right arm transforming into a connected missile launcher, which it then used to unleash a barrage of firepower on the Autobots.
He targeted the wrong person; the attack came from the other side.
Ironhide mounted its massive cannon and unleashed three missiles in quick succession, all of which struck the Decepticon. Jazz and Sideswipe followed suit, firing simultaneously. The three attacked together, shattering its shield in the blink of an eye and tearing its 7-meter-tall body to shreds.
"Bumblebee, find a way to get Sam away from the battlefield. The rest of the Autobots, stay with me and cover the rear."
Ironhide, Jazz, Sideswipe arrived at the battlefield. The Autobots, who were fleeing for their lives, immediately began to organize a counterattack. There were about a dozen Decepticon, which was neither too many nor too few. If they were to form a battle formation, the Autobots would not be afraid of them.
However, the terrain is too advantageous for the Decepticon. As long as Starscream doesn't lose his mind and continues to implement aerial guerrilla tactics, the Autobots have no chance of winning.
The question is, will Starscream abandon his aerial advantage and transform into a robot to fight the Autobots head-on?
Impossible! If he were that powerful, he wouldn't be Starscream!
Moreover, Ironhide's battle-hardened intuition and experience told Ironhide that the attacking force was not just Starscream's group, and there were definitely other Decepticon on their way.
Therefore, no matter what tactics are used, the Autobots are destined to lose this battle.
Ironhide knew this all too well, but he was not afraid to sacrifice himself, and he believed that his comrades would not be afraid either. From a strategic perspective, as long as they could successfully cover the evacuation of the leadership module, their sacrifice would be worthwhile.
"Autobots! Full firepower! Repel the Decepticon!"
Ironhide increased its firepower, drawing the Decepticon's air force in an attempt to buy Bumblebee time to escape. Evading air pursuit in the desert was incredibly difficult; everyone knew the chances were slim, but what could they do when the Autobots couldn't fly?
In the sky, more than ten Decepticon planes roared past, turning back to prepare for the next round of bombing.
"Master Megatron, Ironhide and Jazz have been found. Optimus Prime's body is nearby..." Starscream, the leader, was the fastest. He first reported the battle situation to Megatron, and then requested the ground forces to launch an encirclement and annihilation operation. As long as the Autobots were surrounded and wiped out, he would be the greatest contributor to leading the Decepticon to defeat the Autobots.
Starscream was filled with resentment. The Transformers that killed Megatron on the Los Angeles battlefield was... the same model as his own. Even though it wasn't him, it indirectly proved he was more powerful than Megatron, yet the Fallen ignored this and still trusted Megatron more.
Today, Starscream felt his opportunity had arrived. His Megatron, had not been in vain. By eliminating the Autobots below and removing the Fallen's greatest threat, he could make the Fallen look at him differently and leap into the position of the new Decepticon leader.
And Megatron...
Starscream had already planned it all out: once he took power, he would transfer Megatron to the nursery to be a babysitter for the newborn cubs!
It's no wonder that Starscream was overconfident, firmly maintaining control of the air and firing at a bunch of live targets; he simply couldn't think of any reason for his failure.
"Hehehe, all Decepticon, attack! Tear the Autobots below to shreds!" Starscream roared with laughter, swooping down first. Two missiles blasted into the Autobots ranks, making the Rebels' shields tremble.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud explosions caused Starscream to burst into laughter, but as he laughed, he suddenly realized something was wrong. In addition to the explosion on the ground, there were two more explosions behind him.
Someone has been hit!
Where did the attack come from?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—
Starscream hurriedly turned his aircraft around, and the sound of explosions echoed in the sky. The Decepticon air force was in complete disarray, with explosions and bullets flying everywhere.
In the firelight, a black robot was charging and killing at high speed. Its huge body was over 10 meters tall, and it was invincible like God of War. Even the Decepticon next to it were firing at it almost frantically, but they could not stop its advance.
Upon closer inspection, the menacing black robot's firepower is terrifying, with a missile launcher in its left hand and a double-headed spear in its right. A single missile can shatter Decepticon's shield, and then the spear sweeps across, either severing wings or cutting off the limbs of Decepticon that have transformed into humanoid forms.
He alternated between cold and hot weapons, recklessly charging back and forth within the Decepticon ranks. With each swing of his spear, a Decepticon robot was shot down from the sky.
Three Cybertron jet fighters transformed into giant robots, each about 10 meters tall, and used their jets to close in and surround the target.
Each of them wielded a missile launcher and a machine gun, their Fire Snake spray engulfing the space around the intruder. More than ten missiles, trailing red flames, hurtled towards the intruder, unleashing a dense barrage of deadly bullets.
With nowhere to retreat, the intruder flashed a disdainful look in its crimson electrons, crouched down, and charged forward, fearlessly crashing into the hail of bullets.
Boom! Boom! Rumble—
A massive fireball exploded in the sky, the shockwave sending nearby Decepticon flying far away, the deafening explosions echoing continuously. Before the flames had even subsided, a gigantic, death-like figure slowly emerged, and even as the Decepticon bombarded him with even more intense fire, it was difficult to see a trace of emotion on his grinning face.
"You little brats, remember this: the glory of Skyfire will Eternity fade!!"
Amidst the explosion, the black robot's sinister laughter was piercing and chilling!
Starscream's eyes narrowed sharply, and he couldn't help but growl, "Pathfinder! Skyfire!?"
"Damn it, isn't he one of ours?"
"This bastard betrayed the Decepticon! Let's all attack and kill him!"
The remaining Decepticon were alarmed. Skyfire displayed power comparable to its leader, with overwhelming firepower and shields. However, the Decepticon were bound by the principles of killing and battle. They shouted in unison and launched a simultaneous attack.
Who is that person?
On the ground, the Autobots were a little confused. Skyfire, who had suddenly appeared, looked like a Decepticon, so why would he attack his own comrades?
"He is... Skyfire?"
Ironhide and Jazz exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes. The old man struggled to walk, so where did he get so much energy? Moreover, this energetic and fierce man who could wrestle with Optimus Prime showed no signs of old age.
"He's not Skyfire ..." Gazing at the terrifying figure in the sky, constantly reaping the Decepticon, a realization flashed in Jazz's eyes. "It's Mr. Russell. He used magic to transform into the appearance of Skyfire."
"You're right, it's Mr. Russell!" Ironhide nodded vigorously, then raised his cannon and shouted, "Autobots, stop watching the show and clean up the trash on the ground!"
Because Russell was mindful of his mission, he didn't kill the Decepticon when attacking them, only crippling them and leaving them lying on the ground, so there were many Decepticon lying half-dead on the ground.
"Starscream!"
Russell's gaze swept over the remaining three Decepticon, meeting Starscream's eyes with a sinister smile.
Starscream: "..."
