The exclusive, top-tier upgrade plan for the heavily armored mechs was fully finalized and filed away.
Having just settled the heavy-armored corps that would bear the brunt of frontal assaults, Rimuru immediately turned his attention to the second batch on the modification list.
This batch took a completely different approach from the heavy-armored bruisers: every one of them was an assassin-type warrior specializing in speed, agility, surprise attacks, and instant kills.
Autobot faction: Jazz, Sideswipe, Bumblebee, Drift, Crosshairs.
Decepticon faction: Starscream, Soundwave, Barricade, Nitro Zeus.
Doctor Q had glanced over the list beforehand and immediately understood Rimuru's approach.
Heavy-armored warriors crushed the battlefield with heavy armor, cannons, and external equipment.
But the last things assassin-type mechs needed were encumbrances, redundancies, and external attachments.
So this batch of modifications would involve zero external weapons, zero excess armor, and zero cumbersome accessories.
Every improvement would be rooted within the bodies themselves: their skeletal structures, energy circuits, and innate traits.
Rimuru went straight for a top-tier cross-dimensional fusion upgrade, maxing out both technology and magic.
The fusion materials were absurdly lavish.
T-3000 Terminator nanotechnology, Kamar-Taj's foundational magic circuits, permanent engravings of Norse Rune Runes, and ultra-precise active nanomaterials.
Gillvalis took charge of the microscopic simulations throughout, optimizing every assassin's muscle fibers, mechanical skeleton, and transformation structure to the utmost.
First came a major overhaul of their base bodies, drawing entirely on the T-3000's nanomolecular splitting structure.
Originally, Transformers' mechanical bodies were assembled from fixed alloy parts. When damaged, they cracked, broke, or lost chunks.
After the modifications, every assassin-type warrior's body was made entirely of active nanopolymer liquid armor.
Their skeletons could subtly deform, their joints could twist far beyond normal limits, and their bodies could flex to absorb impacts.
Their flexibility surpassed the physical limits of the Transformer race, making their evasive
