Sun Cheng obviously didn't know what was happening in another corner of the United States at this moment.

He was still quietly waiting in Onslaught's base, watching and waiting for Onslaught to change his equipment with envy in his eyes.

He had been waiting for a long time, and by the time Onslaught had transformed back into his humanoid form with the heavy railgun on his back, a whole day had passed.

"These humans are not without merit …"

Standing still in place, Onslaught closed his eyes and checked himself over for a while, seeming to be satisfied with his current state.

This was the second time Sun Cheng had heard him praise humans, and it seemed that his double-barreled railgun was definitely not to be underestimated. He couldn't help but take a closer look.

Although he had only just begun to study weapon design, Sun Cheng had a rough idea of the power of this caliber from the power of the human cannons and grenade launchers. Onslaught's equipment was undoubtedly even more powerful.

After looking around for a while, Sun Cheng sighed deeply in his heart.

Compared to the railgun that Onslaught had spent a lot of effort on and was a veritable work of art, the enhancement he and Atlas had spent half a month creating for himself was nothing more than rubbish.

Onslaught was obviously unaware of his thoughts at this time, but he was still thinking about the All Spark, and soon turned his gaze to Sun Cheng, his tone unquestionable: "Let's go, take me to the All Spark!"

He didn't mention anything about his mechanical body, and Sun Cheng didn't say much either. The time he had waited before was enough for him to bring the mechanical body back to the base and come back, but without Onslaught's nod, Sun Cheng held back his thoughts, unwilling to displease him.

With Starscream's attitude unknown, Soundwave and Blackout having arrived on Earth one after another, and the Autobots they had encountered not long ago, Sun Cheng knew very well that he was unable to deal with all situations with his own strength alone.

Therefore, although he also knew that Onslaught did not value much, he was the most rational and easy to deal with of all the Decepticons he had encountered so far, which was enough.

If he used him well, he could provide himself with necessary protection and assistance before he grew stronger.

However, now that he had finished his work, although Onslaught was urging him, Sun Cheng was ready to collect his reward first.

"Just wait a moment!"

Shaking his head, Sun Cheng walked over to the mechanical body designed by Onslaught and picked it up.

Then he took out the level 2 Core from it and said to Onslaught: "The human base we're going to has tight security. It will be a bit difficult for just the two of us. Therefore, Lord Onslaught, please allow me to activate this Core first!"

The level 2 Core in his hand looked no different from twenty days ago, but only Sun Cheng himself knew that he had studied it repeatedly during this time and had left many control methods inside the Core to ensure that the Decepticon born from its activation would be completely loyal to him.

"Level 2 Core?"

Onslaught looked at the level 2 Core in his hand with interest, but soon lost interest.

Activating the Core didn't take too much time. After nodding, he stood aside and waited silently.

Only then did Sun Cheng look at the mechanical body in his hand. He had already felt that this new mechanical body was too similar to the one Onslaught had originally designed for him. Now that he had scanned it up close, he couldn't help but curse silently in his heart, "What a sneaky guy."

After careful inspection, the mechanical body was almost identical to his original one, except for slightly inferior materials. This also meant that the new mechanical body's transformation function was still in beast mode. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and skillfully opened the armor of the mechanical body's brain, inserting the Core.

In Cybertron Planet's mechanical life form evolution process, beast mode was one of the many branches of evolution. It was said that there was even a miraculous evolutionary branch born from it, the Primal Beast. However, the Decepticons did not have a high acceptance of beast mode. Although there were some warriors within the legion who maintained their beast mode, such as Ravage and Ratbat, the Decepticons who could not change their beast mode still had a negative image within the legion. It could even be said that beast mode had always been an important vocabulary used by the Decepticons to ridicule those weak soldiers and low combat power cannon fodders.

Sun Cheng had completely accepted Frenzy's memory data. How could he not know Onslaught's purpose for doing this? Although he did not value those titles, he couldn't help but feel angry. If he couldn't defeat him, the two of them would have already fought.

Soon, he dissipated his dissatisfaction and focused his attention on the level 2 Core that had been placed in the mechanical body. After the mechanical body's tube was completely inserted, he cautiously extended a finger and silently input energy and information into the Core from the Spark.

The next moment, the Core lit up. After the new mechanical body's brain armor that he had been holding closed, he shook violently as if he was having a seizure. At the same time, a series of cold mechanical sounds stiffly came from the mechanical body, "Core activated...loyalty to **** confirmed...self-diagnostic function activated...active defense function activated...combat function activated...reconnaissance function activated..."

The whole process lasted for two or three minutes. When Sun Cheng finally felt that the mechanical body had calmed down and looked at him, he let go of his hand. Standing steadily on the ground in front of him, the mechanical body respectfully said to him, "Your faithful servant, 'Forerunner,' reports to you, my master!"

The previous 'Atlas' was the name of a robot developed by Google in his original world, while 'Forerunner' came from the name of China's first generation domestically produced robot. Sun Cheng's high expectations for him could be seen from the name he had given him.

After seeing that his efforts in the past period of time had not been in vain and that he was no longer alone in this world with usable soldiers under him, Sun Cheng suppressed his inner joy and turned to Onslaught, who had been constantly looking at him and Pioneer. He nodded to him and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Onslaught. We can set off now..."
