Although Optimus Prime's strength is not as great as Megatron's, he is still the leader of the Autobots.

As Megatron's steel spike was about to pierce him, Optimus Prime reached out his right hand and grabbed the spike, preventing it from stabbing him.

"You are still fighting for the weak, Optimus Prime... You have the same crown as me, and I thought you would do better than Sentinel Prime, but you have disappointed me..."

Megatron glared at Optimus Prime with a fierce expression, and increased the strength in his hand, causing the spike to puncture the outer armor of Optimus Prime's mechanical body.

"You're insane, Megatron..." Optimus Prime held onto the spike with one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist, delivering a heavy blow to Megatron's ribcage. "War, plunder, expansion... you will bring Cybertron to hell!"

"Cowardly words!" Megatron coldly snorted, suddenly grabbing the metal scrap that tried to ambush him and lifting it up to the ground. He violently slammed it four or five times before throwing it out, leaving it dazed.

His moment of relaxation gave Optimus Prime a chance to fight back, even though his strength was not much weaker than Megatron's.

He stood up after kicking Megatron away and took out a short cannon, aiming it at Megatron's chest and firing.

"Boom..."

The intense explosion caused Megatron to retreat several steps before standing still. He gritted his teeth, revealing a set of fierce fangs as he glared at Optimus Prime with killing intent. "It seems that you have chosen your own grave. Let me send you on your way!"

He charged towards Optimus Prime, who didn't even try to dodge, only assuming a defensive posture in an attempt to block him. He was quickly pushed back by Megatron's superior strength, leaving two long cracks on the road where his feet were.

Above ground, Sun Cheng had no intention of landing. He continued to hover in the sky, firing relentlessly at the Autobots below.

With Megatron attracting their attention, the other Autobots obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take down the Decepticon leader. But was Megatron so easy to deal with?

As the most powerful Decepticon and possibly the most powerful mechanical warrior on Cybertron, he was the embodiment of strength. Just by being able to take on four opponents, including the Autobot leader and elite warriors, it was clear how powerful he was.

Sun Cheng's mechanical body was not nearly as sturdy as the other Autobots, so even with Megatron attracting their attention, he was happy to sweep back and forth in the sky. The firepower of his drone's All Spark-modified cannon was not as strong as Bumblebee's laser cannon, but anyone hit by it would be left with many bullet marks and fine cracks on their mechanical body.

Just as he was enjoying himself, Megatron's cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind again.

"Go, catch up with Bumblebee and bring me the All Spark!"

"Yes!"

Sun Cheng hesitated for a moment, but quickly complied. He turned his aircraft around and adjusted his altitude before flying towards Bumblebee and the human convoy that had already disappeared into the distance.

He knew he was no match for Bumblebee, but this was Megatron's order. In Frenzy's memories, Megatron was like a tyrant, and he absolutely would not tolerate any disobedience.

He could indulge Starscream's rebellion time and time again, but every time Starscream rebelled, he used the cruelest methods to suppress him, then waited for his next challenge with his terrible personality.

Dealing with such a tyrant, he really wished he could stay far away. But Megatron's order actually worked to his advantage.

Flying high in the sky, Sun Cheng quickly caught up to the convoy on the highway every few minutes. He also saw Bumblebee, who was being closely guarded in the center of the convoy.

"Dada..."

After lowering his altitude, he swooped down to strafe, quickly taking out two human escort vehicles. He was about to continue his attack and destroy all the American soldiers except Bumblebee when...

Suddenly, accompanied by the piercing warning sound of the Spy Template, Sun Cheng's face changed drastically. He immediately increased his speed to the limit and adjusted the nose of the aircraft to a near-impossible angle, shooting straight up into the sky.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

The deafening explosion sounded on the ground, and Sun Cheng saw a squadron of sixteen fighter jets approaching in the distance, all F-16s.

"Trouble..."

Sun Cheng's heart sank, and he quickly accelerated and continued to climb to a higher altitude. However, he soon realized that this was not a viable solution. Although the F-16s could not maintain speeds above Mach 1 like he could, they were still faster than him by two or three minutes at their fastest. If they caught up to him, with the power of the American missiles, he would be finished with just three to five hits.

He didn't have time to think about his small thoughts anymore. Sun Cheng quickly initiated long-range communication, locked onto Blackout, and sent his current coordinates, "Found the All Spark, come support!"

Compared to Blackout, Starscream was obviously the best aerial combat master in the Decepticon army, but he was too dangerous. If the All Spark fell into his hands, Sun Cheng estimated that he would never see it again in his lifetime. If it wasn't for being forced into a corner, he guessed that he wouldn't even notify Blackout.

"Got it!"

Blackout was very efficient and sent a short communication after just three to five seconds.

This seemed like a short amount of time, but on the battlefield, it was not. It was enough for the American fighter jets to lock onto Sun Cheng and launch an attack on him.

"Shoo..."

"Shoo..."

The American F-16 fighter jets fired four air-to-air missiles at him, but Sun Cheng remained calm. He adjusted the altitude of the nose of the aircraft slightly and continued to climb while actively charging towards the formation of American fighter jets.

The first round of missiles fired at him by the American military was four AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles. These things had a speed of up to Mach 4 and quickly caught up to Sun Cheng.

However, his reaction was just as unsatisfactory. Although the American squadron evaded the tactics in a panic, human-operated fighter jets were far less maneuverable than Decepticon transforming aircraft. He quickly approached one of the F-16 fighter jets.

"...Oh no, my god..."

Sun Cheng flew past the F-16 almost face to face, and he could even see the panicked expression of the American pilot in the cockpit.

He gave him a cold smile, suddenly transformed back into his human form, and immediately fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.

The next moment, several missiles hit the unlucky F-16 fighter jet accurately, and the sound of a violent explosion echoed through the sky.
