The Sentinels behind them reacted immediately, their orange Neutron Beams detonating the anti-armour missiles in mid-flight.

Watching the battle, the Iron Hands behind them exchanged glances.

The Machine Bodies' precision extended beyond killing. Their weapons' power and energy supply could also be adjusted with extraordinary accuracy.

If necessary, a Neutron Beam Emitter could even serve as a lighter to set a sheet of paper alight.

After precisely destroying several turrets, a squad of thirty Sentinels began advancing rapidly.

Their target was one of the wrecked turrets several hundred metres away.
