After two days of non-stop back-and-forth running, all the equipment from the Onslaught base had finally been transported to the soon-to-be-abandoned Base No. 1. Sun Cheng, who had been on edge for two days, could finally relax for a moment.

"...Master, all the equipment is here. Would you like me to give you a brief introduction?"

Inside Base No. 1 in Colorado, piles of machines, dismantled and transported from the Onslaught base, caused some unease among a group of Decepticon engineers who had been brought along. It was unclear whether it was due to the unfamiliar surroundings or the fear of betraying their former master, Onslaught.

"No need. Take a tour around the base first, familiarize yourselves with the place. Also, assemble some surveillance devices to monitor the surroundings within a ten-kilometer radius of the base..."

Sun Cheng casually gave an order and dismissed the engineers he had newly taken control of.

Without them, it wouldn't take him long to master the use of these machines and equipment, each bearing the unmistakable imprint of Cybertron Planet.

After sending away all the engineers, Sun Cheng approached a pile of equipment. His core activated, and countless metal joints extended from his mechanical body, resembling softened metal tendrils. They climbed onto each device, one after another.

Whenever he found a socket on the equipment, the metal joints automatically connected, and streams of scanning data flowed into the devices.

Soon, the light in his two bright blue electronic eyes intensified, and a smile formed on his face.

"...supercomputer...machine tool...core research data...mechanical body enhancement experience...Onslaught, you've left me quite a lot of valuable things..."

After shaking his body, the protruding metal joints retracted back into his mechanical body. Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes, his face filled with contemplation.

Although he hadn't interacted with Onslaught much, he was grateful that the Decepticons never concealed their thoughts. Even Onslaught, who was reputed as the "wise one," was not much more clever than Barricade and the others.

Thanks to this, Sun Cheng had come to a complete understanding of these rather unsophisticated and even blatant methods.

"Do you consider me your pawn?"

The five metal digits on his right palm flexed and relaxed, his smile gradually turning cold.

It was certain that Onslaught was maneuvering his next move. However, it was more accurate to describe it as a clever plan rather than a mere conspiracy.

On the moon, there was a hidden super leader from the ancient Cybertronian council. Although Sun Cheng wasn't sure about his current condition, legends suggested that the elders were not easily defeated.

There was a possibility that this super leader had nurtured a tyrant like Megatron, but unfortunately, Starscream had foolishly set his sights on him. It was undoubtedly a terrible move, and Starscream might even pay the price for it.

More and more Autobots were converging on Earth from various corners of the universe, with the intention of turning it into a second Cybertron Planet.

And if the ancient council elder were to awaken at this crucial moment, considering Earth's proximity to the moon, it was not difficult to imagine the catastrophe that would ensue.

Onslaught would never want to see Earth fall into the hands of any party. The planet had a solid foundation, and in the hands of someone ambitious, it could potentially become the birthplace of another Decepticon army!

Sun Cheng, himself an ambitious individual, even suspected that the last time he encountered this guy in the seventh district, Onslaught had gained far more benefits than he had anticipated.

So, before he returns, he needs to cultivate a powerful pawn, or at the very least, create a disruptive tool like a stirrer or a stick to disrupt the situation on Earth. It's obvious that he has caught Onslaught's attention after their multiple encounters. His fingers moved faster and faster, a habit Sun Cheng had when deep in thought.

Various pieces of information repeatedly appeared in his Core, all extracted from the database Onslaught had left in the computer. These were the experiences he had gathered from countless enhancements to his own mechanical body. Obviously, these pieces of information had been edited, with noticeable gaps in some areas. However, they still provided him with plenty of inspiration, especially since there was a brand-new mechanical body design plan for him based on Jazz's body, created by Onslaught.

"So this is the benefit of being a qualified disruptor...," Sun Cheng muttered. Finally, the Core finished processing the entire design plan's data, and Sun Cheng's right hand ceased its movements. He then started rubbing his chin. He had to admit that the new mechanical body designed by Onslaught was incredibly well-rounded, except for the power system, and the lack of large weapons. However, in all other aspects, it surpassed his current mechanical body by far. Especially in close-quarters combat, it inherited Jazz's flexibility, which immediately captivated him.

But there was one issue—the materials were hard to come by! Many of the materials required to construct the mechanical body could only be found on Earth as substitutes. Although Onslaught provided alternative metallic elements, all of them were rare metals strictly regulated by different countries on Earth. Obtaining them would be troublesome. Sun Cheng furrowed his brow, but he quickly found a solution.

"In the end, I've found a way. It'll just take a bit more time to gather everything. Thankfully, he threw a chunky piece of meat my way..." Sun Cheng said with a sigh of relief. After understanding everything, he had to admit that Onslaught had outmaneuvered him this time. That guy clearly knew that Sun Cheng had angered Soundwave and Starscream. With his cunning, he probably even suspected that he had Blackout's memory chip. From now on, Sun Cheng could only rely on himself.

Therefore, Sun Cheng couldn't simply sit back and watch the Autobots grow stronger, or the Decepticon army occupying Earth, or even the return of the elder to establish a new rule. That's why Onslaught suddenly offered him such a tempting opportunity—to make him stronger, preventing him from being crushed before he could even disrupt anything.

The blue light in his electronic eyes flickered, and after a long pause, a light chuckle escaped Sun Cheng's lips. "The real show is just beginning. I may be a genuine disruptor, but I'm also a different kind of disruptor. I hope you won't be startled when you return next time..."

He regained his indifferent expression on his face and calmly waved his hand towards the array of machinery and equipment in front of him. They swiftly retracted into the spherical space. There were too many devices, and transporting them from the United States to Brazil would require at least twenty trips. It would be impossible to complete in a week. To avoid exposing his whereabouts, despite the energy consumption and the pain it caused, he had no choice but to rely on the power of the spherical space.
