• Rimuru planned enchantments and Magicule shields to protect the Transformers from mental attacks, magical corrosion, and dimensional interference.
• Rimuru finished outlining the shared upgrades and prepared to customize the Decepticons and Autobots separately.

Rimuru planned powerful upgrades for the Transformers, but combat simulations revealed that one-size-fits-all equipment weakened specialized fighters. After Doctor Q explained the need for individual designs, Rimuru decided to customize each Transformer at his own pace.

• Rimuru planned to enchant Decepticon weapons with magic and equip Optimus Prime with improved flight armor and a space-cutting Star Saber.
• Rimuru had Black Dragon test general-purpose equipment in combat simulations, where Bumblebee and Starscream performed worse because the gear restricted their mobility.
• Doctor Q examined the designs and explained that each Transformer needed equipment suited to their individual strengths and combat role.
• Rimuru accepted that the Autobots and Decepticons would need separate designs and tests, and decided to work through the upgrades without rushing.

Rimuru coordinated custom heavy-duty upgrades for the Autobots and Decepticons, adding reinforced armor, rapid self-repair, magic resistance, and weapons tailored to each mech. Gillvalis's simulations confirmed the upgrades addressed the teams' weaknesses and greatly increased their combat power, leaving Rimuru pleased with the completed plans.

• Optimus Prime and Megatron mastered their new equipment and drove their duel to a fever pitch.

Optimus Prime defeated Megatron in a hard-fought test of their enhanced bodies and weapons, with Optimus's more extensive upgrades giving him the edge. Rimuru explained that Megatron's fighter-jet form limited how much equipment he could carry, leaving Megatron bitter over losing because of his vehicle form.

• Optimus Prime and Megatron mastered their enhanced bodies and divine weapons through repeated rounds of combat.
• Bumblebee and Jazz watched enviously, knowing their own forms were incompatible with the exclusive divine weapons.
• Rimuru observed that Optimus was gaining the advantage because his expandable truck cargo compartment allowed for more upgrades than Megatron's fighter-jet form.
• Optimus Prime and Megatron ended their battle, and Megatron realized he had been outmatched despite his superior experience and fighting foundation.
• Rimuru explained that adding heavy armor and a cargo compartment would compromise Megatron's speed and aerial maneuverability, leaving Megatron resentful of his form's limitations.

Rimuru discovered that Megatron’s frame had a suppressed, incomplete tank transformation alongside his jet and humanoid forms. After Megatron’s failed attempt to transform left him stuck in a humiliating hybrid shape, Rimuru proposed repairing the sequences to unlock all three forms and greatly increase his combat potential, and Megatron eagerly agreed.

• Megatron accepted Rimuru’s offer of lightweight armor, even though it would reduce his jet form’s speed and maneuverability.
• Rimuru removed Megatron’s modifications and scanned his original frame, discovering its hidden triple-changing configuration of jet, tank, and humanoid forms.
• Megatron attempted to activate his incomplete tank form but became stuck halfway between a tank and a jet, prompting Bumblebee and Jazz to laugh while Optimus Prime forced him back into humanoid form.
• Rimuru explained that Megatron’s tank form could support far more armor and equipment, and proposed repairing the transformation sequences despite the loss of some aerial performance.
• Megatron agreed to a complete overhaul and asked Rimuru to unlock all his forms.

Rimuru perfected Megatron’s three forms and outfitted him with powerful magical armor, letting him defeat Optimus Prime in a sparring match. Inspired by Megatron’s transformation, Bumblebee pleaded with Rimuru to help him grow stronger, leaving Rimuru unsure whether to begin modifying him so soon.

• Rimuru repaired Megatron’s transformation systems so his fighter jet, tank, and humanoid forms could coexist and switch smoothly.
• Rimuru spent several days designing and fitting Megatron with nanotech, Uru steel armor, rune arrays, and a magical coating.
• Megatron tested his enhanced body, relished his new strength, and challenged Optimus Prime to a fight.
• Megatron dominated Optimus Prime through dozens of exchanges, keeping him on the defensive.
• Bumblebee watched the fight and approached Rimuru with pleading, glowing eyes, asking to become stronger.
• Rimuru hesitated because he had just modified the two leaders and worried that modifying Bumblebee immediately could upset the balance of power.

Rimuru proposed a radical upgrade that would give Bumblebee a split-body fighting style and an exceptionally tough core skeleton, but leave his AllSpark more exposed. Bumblebee accepted the upgrade, while Megatron abandoned his own desire for the skeleton after learning its rigidity would undermine his Triple Changer abilities.

• Rimuru explained that Bumblebee’s REV-9-based upgrade would let his shell and core skeleton fight separately and split into several smaller units, but would leave his AllSpark with less protection.
• Rimuru reassured Bumblebee that his core skeleton would be exceptionally strong and his shell could regenerate, easing Bumblebee’s concerns.
• Megatron grew jealous when Rimuru called Bumblebee’s future skeleton the strongest among the upgraded Transformers.
• Bumblebee decided the reversible upgrade was worth the risk and asked Rimuru to proceed.
• Megatron asked for the same skeleton, but Rimuru explained that its rigidity would impair Megatron’s transformations and aerial maneuverability.
• Megatron dropped the idea and decided the ultra-rigid skeleton would suit Brawl better.

Rimuru finished rebuilding Bumblebee with a magical core skeleton and a flexible nanometal shell, giving him a powerful split-body combat ability. After testing his new forms and defenses, Bumblebee agreed to spar with Megatron to learn the limits of his upgraded body.

• Jazz enthusiastically encouraged Bumblebee as Rimuru began the modification.
• Rimuru rebuilt Bumblebee's body with a reinforced skeleton, a nanometal shell, and magical protection around the AllSpark.
• Bumblebee separated his shell from his skeleton, created six additional bodies, and tested his defenses without finding any weaknesses.
• Bumblebee explained that all his bodies shared one consciousness, senses, and combat strength, then decided he needed a real fight to master them.
• Megatron approached to test Bumblebee's new skeleton, and Bumblebee eagerly accepted his offer to spar.

Bumblebee tested his newly modified body against Megatron, impressing him with his durability and agile split-body fighting style. Megatron’s battlefield-wide attack scattered Bumblebee’s parts, and Jazz rushed in believing he was dead, though Megatron knew Bumblebee’s core remained unharmed.

• Megatron let Bumblebee attack first, and Bumblebee adapted to his new body and split-body fighting style during their exchanges.
• Bumblebee’s punch could not harm Megatron, while Megatron’s counter sent Bumblebee skidding across the ground without damaging his skeleton.
• Bumblebee used his size and agility to harass Megatron with feints, split-body evasions, and rapid attacks.
• Megatron unleashed a wide-ranging energy shock wave that blasted Bumblebee’s body apart while leaving his core Spark and main skeleton intact.
• Jazz mistook Bumblebee’s scattered parts for a fatal defeat and rushed over, promising to care for Bumblebee’s wife and children.

After Bumblebee recovered from Megatron’s punch, Megatron went to take revenge on the weakened Predacons while Rimuru sent Optimus Prime to subdue the unruly Dinobots. Optimus’s attempt to persuade them failed, and he faced them alone as battle began.

• Bumblebee reassembled himself unharmed, while Megatron rebuked Jazz for assuming he had been killed.
• Rimuru sent Megatron to the virtual planet training ground to confront the Predacons.
• Megatron attacked the exhausted Predacons and beat them without resistance, growing frustrated by how weak they were.
• Rimuru brought Optimus Prime to the simulated jungle, where Optimus tried and failed to persuade the Dinobots to submit.
• Optimus Prime stepped forward alone, and the battle against the Dinobots erupted.

Rimuru restored the Dinobots’ habitat after Optimus Prime defeated them, while Megatron complained that his fight with the weakened Predacons had been too easy. Back on Cybertron, Bumblebee and Jazz’s upgraded bodies inspired the Autobots to seek enhancements, and Ratchet unexpectedly arrived at the underground laboratory to request one.

• Slash tried to ambush Rimuru, but Rimuru bound him with scarlet chains while Optimus Prime defeated the Dinobots.
• The Dinobots submitted but refused to leave the primordial jungle, so Rimuru used Black Dragon’s simulation privileges to restore their habitat and let them stay there.
• Rimuru and Optimus Prime returned to the experimental base, where Megatron complained that the weakened Predacons had offered no challenge.
• Bumblebee and Jazz returned to Cybertron and showed off their upgraded bodies, prompting the Autobots to consider getting upgrades.
• Ratchet contacted Black Dragon, teleported to the underground laboratory, and surprised Optimus Prime by requesting an upgrade.

Ratchet explained that he wanted to leave support work and fight alongside his comrades, prompting Rimuru to arrange upgrades for the Decepticons. Megatron approved the plans but questioned the battlefield value of Nitro Zeus’s speakers.

• Ratchet told Optimus Prime that he wanted the power to fight on the front lines and protect his comrades.
• Rimuru remembered Ratchet’s tragic fate in the original movie and vowed to punish the humans who betrayed him.
• Megatron protested that the Autobots kept getting upgrades while the Decepticons waited.
• Rimuru assigned upgrades to Bonecrusher, Brawl, Starscream, Soundwave, Barricade, and Nitro Zeus.
• Megatron approved the Decepticons’ upgrade plans but asked why Nitro Zeus needed two top-tier speakers.

Rimuru explained the purpose of Nitro Zeus’s speakers, then asked Ratchet what upgrade he wanted. Ratchet rejected his role as a rear-line medic and demanded the strength to fight on the front lines, leaving Optimus Prime and Megatron stunned by his reasoning.

• Rimuru explained to Megatron that Nitro Zeus’s speakers could boost his fighting spirit, disrupt enemy audio detection, and provide his own entrance music.
• Rimuru invited Ratchet to name the upgrade he wanted.
• Ratchet said his medical skills could not save comrades in truly critical condition and that he no longer wanted to remain behind the team.
• Ratchet demanded real combat power so he could fight beside his comrades and prevent their injuries by defeating enemies first.
• Optimus Prime tried to reassure Ratchet that the Autobots depended on him, but Ratchet argued that preventing danger was better than treating its aftermath.
• Megatron questioned whether Ratchet was really an Autobot and decided to ask Soundwave to investigate him.

Ratchet explained that he wanted to leave medical logistics behind and gain the ability to protect his teammates by ending threats himself, and Optimus Prime accepted his choice. Rimuru designed a hybrid medical and frontline combat form for Ratchet, which Ratchet approved.

• Ratchet told Optimus Prime he wanted to become a combat mech, and Optimus Prime respected his decision.
• Ratchet described his limitations and requested a heavy-armored melee style or a hybrid form that preserved his medical skills.
• Rimuru scanned Ratchet and concluded that a medical-combat hybrid suited his body better than an agile or fully heavy build.
• Rimuru proposed replacing Ratchet's armor with self-healing T-1000 liquid metal and giving it adaptable combat and repair forms.
• Rimuru planned to convert Ratchet's warning lights into an electromagnetic interference system while avoiding excessive lethal weapons.
• Ratchet approved Rimuru's modification plan as the form he wanted most.

Rimuru modified Ratchet by reinforcing his internal frame with Uru divine steel and coating him in self-healing T-1000 liquid metal. Ratchet believed he had become a frontline combatant, unaware that the upgrade had made him an even more powerful healer.

• Rimuru carefully reinforced Ratchet’s existing mechanical foundation without changing his frame or transformation system.
• Rimuru replaced Ratchet’s outer armor with T-1000 liquid metal and explained that Uru divine steel inside would bear heavy attacks while the outer layer could disperse force and form weapons.
• Rimuru revealed that the liquid metal could rapidly repair precision components, including transformation gears, as long as Ratchet’s Spark remained lit.
• Bumblebee, Jazz, Optimus Prime, and Megatron reacted with shock and envy to Ratchet’s battlefield self-repair capabilities.
• Ratchet imagined abandoning medicine to charge into combat, while Rimuru’s modification had actually turned him into an extraordinary battlefield healer.

Ratchet tested his newly upgraded liquid-metal body by sparring with Megatron, who had underestimated him. The fight left Megatron astonished by the armor’s ability to repair itself almost instantly.

• Ratchet tested his new body and eagerly sought an opponent to gauge his combat strength.
• The Autobots and their companions silently chose Megatron, who reluctantly agreed to spar with Ratchet.
• Megatron opened with a powerful probing punch that sent Ratchet stumbling backward but did not knock him down.
• Ratchet’s dented liquid-metal armor repaired itself completely within seconds, leaving Megatron impressed and envious.
