Chapter 420: Gear
After a careful inspection, Sun Cheng finally determined that this so-called humanoid Decepticon named "Mora Kotetier" was merely a low-quality product that looked the part but lacked the substance.
It was clear that Frenzy, Atlas, and the others were still marking time in their research on humanoid Decepticons!
No, to be more precise, they had probably only moved forward a tiny half-step.
The reason Decepticons and Autobots can be called Mechanical Lifeforms, rather than robots, is this.
It is because, just like humans who possess basic life units called cells, they also possess hundreds of millions of ultra-microscopic units within their bodies that Cybertronians call "Gear," which have extremely high plasticity.
These "Gear," which are so small they measure only a few dozen nanometers, are the key to the ability of Mechanical Lifeforms to transform; it is precisely they that grant Mechanical Lifeforms infinite possibilities.
"Gear" allow Mechanical Lifeforms to scan a target object, reference the target's data in an extremely short time, completely alter their own bodies to transform into the target, master all of the other party's abilities, and even further optimize them.
The benefits are very obvious; one must know that if humans want to master a certain skill, especially one that enhances their own body, it often requires years of arduous training.
But Mechanical Lifeforms can complete this process in a few extremely short seconds.
It is precisely "Gear" that endows Mechanical Lifeforms with this ability, though of course, it is not perfect.
Just as Mechanical Lifeforms have differences in strength and rank, the "Gear" within each Mechanical Lifeform are not exactly the same.
The vast majority of Mechanical Lifeforms only have one opportunity in their entire lives to scan an object and change themselves into that target, because once determined, the "Gear" within them are like being rapidly set; they solidify during the transformation process, and unless they change to a new body, they can only maintain one transformation form for their entire life.
Mechanical Lifeforms, including the vast majority of Advanced Warriors, fall into this category.
It is just that Advanced Warriors clearly have quite a few more choices than Low-level Warriors; although the vast majority of Advanced Warriors can only possess one transformation form at a time, they can, at the cost of consuming a large amount of energy, forcibly release their current transformation form to regain the opportunity to scan a target object and transform again.
However, under normal circumstances, the vast majority of Advanced Warriors would not make this choice.
Because, much like a human undergoing surgery, this process of forcibly destroying the "Gear" within the body that had previously been fixed in form is by no means a pleasant experience.
Sun Cheng had experienced it once before, and after that, he had no desire to do it again.
It can only be said that he was ignorant and lucky at that time; after all, judging by the body that Barricade had built for him and the Spark within him, he was far from reaching the strength of an Advanced Warrior.
But perhaps it was because he had been in close contact with the 【AllSpark】 that he successfully completed the scan and changed his transformation form into a Reaper Drone.
As for how "Gear" are actually produced, even the Decepticon Engineers cannot say.
They can manufacture all kinds of bodies, powerful Warriors, Workers capable of handling any post, and Medical Spiders sufficient to treat the vast majority of wounded soldiers.
Yet they do not possess the ability to bestow life like Starscream.
The only thing currently in Sun Cheng's hands that can bestow life upon Decepticons are those few pieces of AllSpark Fragment he obtained in Las Vegas.
Base No. 2 not only needs to use it to cultivate Newborn Decepticons, but all Decepticons, including Sun Cheng, must receive an energy baptism from the "AllSpark Fragment" when changing bodies; moreover, the more powerful the body being changed into, the longer the time required to receive the "AllSpark baptism," otherwise the basic unit known as "Gear" cannot be born within their bodies.
And without "Gear," Cybertronians can at best only be considered robots possessing intelligence.
Just now, while inspecting the body of "Mora Kotetier," Sun Cheng discovered the secret of his body.
Like the vast majority of low-level Decepticon Workers, "Mora Kotetier" also had "Gear" born within his body under the energy radiation of the "AllSpark Fragment."
But the Gear within his body had already completely solidified!
In other words, "Mora Kotetier" was no different from the other Workers cultivated in the Base; he was merely a Worker who, after scanning a humanoid robot, had forcibly locked his transformation form into his current state.
He was not in a humanoid form from the moment he was born!
This method was clearly taking a shortcut, and it also cut off the transformation potential of the Mechanical Lifeform.
However, Sun Cheng could not say he was too disappointed.
Although Mola had not yet met the requirements in his heart, at least from the current perspective, he did indeed need a batch of such Decepticons to serve his own expansion strategy.
This is the same regardless of the 【Transformers Multiverse】 or even the real world.
After all, he is not a person from the 【Transformers Multiverse】 world, and he cannot be said to have any sense of identification with this world.
The reason Sun Cheng still stays here, besides the fact that he has already obtained quite a few benefits from the 【Transformers Multiverse】, to the point that his ambition has been hooked.
Driven by greed, he is frantically harvesting the technology of this world.
Not just the technology of the planet Cybertron, but also those advanced military and civilian technologies on Earth.
Of course, besides this, there is another very important reason, and that is that Sun Cheng still has not figured out what exactly happened to him.
Because it is unknown, there is fear!
This is also one of the reasons why Sun Cheng, knowing that the 【Transformers Multiverse】 is very dangerous, still bites the bullet and stays here.
And in this world, with his identity as Frenzy, he can still use various means to coerce and lure, win over and absorb a batch of Decepticons for his own use, and quickly help himself establish and expand his forces.
But in the real world, he is, at best, just a most ordinary Earthling.
His frail flesh makes Sun Cheng have no power to resist in front of Mechanical Lifeforms like Decepticons and Autobots.
Therefore, even if he knows that he only needs to bring a small number of Decepticons back to the real world, his forces could rapidly increase.
However, the peculiar appearance of the Decepticons dictates that once they are exposed to people, he would immediately be targeted by countries around the world.
This is also why he has been pushing the research work on humanoid Decepticons for a long time!
Some strong impulses in his head could not help but emerge, but they were forcibly suppressed by Sun Cheng.
He knows that now is not the time for him to leave; there are still too many resources and technologies here waiting for him to harvest.
Moreover, the recent changes in the real world have also made Sun Cheng increasingly unable to understand what is happening to the world.
Therefore, no matter how much he misses the real world, he still has to stay here for now and do his best to expand his forces and scope of control.
At this thought, Sun Cheng could not help but look up at the space above, toward the position where the Moon is located.
That imminent sense of crisis made him finally unable to help but start his own actions.
Immediately, he lowered his head to look at the two subordinates who had been quietly staying by his side for a long time, and said: "I cannot stay here for too long, and I will soon return to Russia... Thrust, you are responsible for all the actions of the Base in Bolivia. So, how is the cleanup going over at Tiwanaku now?"
As soon as the words were out, Sun Cheng looked at him with burning eyes.
