Chapter 437: Coordinates

~7 min read 1,260 words

Sideways' non-combat form is a silver-gray sports car, moving quickly and nimbly through the mountain forest, much like a dexterous silver fox.

Demolishor, on the other hand, is a heavy excavator, red with yellow accents, charging through the mountain forest on four giant wheels that are over three meters tall; no matter how tall the trees or how hard the mountain rocks, he can easily crush them.

Unless the humans on Earth saw this scene with their own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a clumsy, massive brute could reach speeds of no less than two hundred kilometers per hour in the mountain forest.

The two Decepticons locked onto the Pathfinder, having followed the radiation of the AllSpark fragment all the way here.

They soon crossed the valley and appeared in the field of vision of the Pathfinder and his group.

"Screech!"

Sideways did not reduce his speed, flying off a slope on the hillside; his body emitted a metallic "screech" in the air, and by the time he landed, he had already completed his transformation, turning into a silver-gray mechanical Warrior over four meters tall.

Demolishor was even more overbearing; his non-combat form is a heavy excavator.

Seemingly having also spotted the Pathfinder and Wheelie, he—having been left behind due to his speed being inferior to his teammate Sideways—suddenly tilted his vehicle body forward after crossing the slope, as if he had lost his balance.

The next moment, the terrifying large shovel bucket hanging in front of his vehicle suddenly split in two from the middle, one side moving quickly to the left of the vehicle body while the other slid to the right, then slammed heavily into the ground in front of him, kicking up countless shards of rock and filling the air with dust.

However, none of this could affect the Pathfinder at all.

His eyes were fixed on the dust, seeing the movements of Demolishor inside clearly.

Supported by the two shovel buckets that acted like arms, the clumsy giant's body suddenly vaulted about 120 degrees into the air; in mid-air, his heavy, massive vehicle body transformed rapidly, and then, under the effect of centrifugal force, he was flung more than ten meters away by the inertia he had applied to himself.

Amidst a dull thud like a giant boulder whistling down from the sky, he slammed heavily into the ground, performed a backward forward-roll, and when he stood up, he had actually completed his combat form, becoming a ferocious mechanical giant no less than sixteen or seventeen meters tall, with two giant wheels nearly four meters in diameter on the upper and lower parts of his body.

"AllSpark fragment detected... Wheelie found..."

After his old partner Demolishor had also finished transforming into his combat form, Sideways' scarlet electronic eyes locked onto the Lead Box in the Pathfinder's hand, and a low, slightly shrill voice sounded.

As soon as he finished speaking, his old partner Demolishor, who knew his personality well, gave a muffled grunt in response but said nothing.

He had been working with Sideways for a long time and naturally knew that although Sideways was good at gathering intelligence, he was cowardly, afraid of battle, and not skilled in combat.

The two had been on Earth for some time, and during that period, they had encountered the Autobots several times while searching for the AllSpark and the Matrix of Leadership, mostly having to fight a battle before they could escape.

And Sideways, aside from running away and hiding, had never participated in a battle; it was entirely due to his own powerful combat strength that he hadn't been lost to the Autobots like some of their kin.

From the beginning, the Pathfinder's attention had been focused on Demolishor, so when he looked at him, his body subconsciously tensed, and the Spark within his chest burned even more intensely.

Sideways' combat strength was not worth mentioning; his Enhancement was more oriented toward intelligence gathering. If they really fought, he might not even be as good as the Decepticon Cannon Fodder Warriors specifically cultivated by Starscream, probably about the same as the twins Mudflap and Skids among the Autobots.

However, his partner Demolishor was not simple.

One look at this guy's size told you he was extraordinary. Although there was never a rule among Decepticons and Autobots that the larger the body, the stronger the combat power, a massive body could carry richer combat systems; almost all Decepticons and Autobots with massive bodies were powerful existences.

At the very least, in terms of strength, the big guys all possessed impressive power.

Demolishor, who was in front of the Pathfinder, was a typical example. The database in the Base originally had very brief records of Demolishor, only a few lines.

But a few months ago, the master suddenly updated the database, and among the many data points added afterward, there was indeed a detailed record of Demolishor.

Demolishor could not be considered an Advanced Warrior of the Decepticon Legion; he did possess terrifying power comparable to a Leader, but that was the extent of it.

Within the Decepticon Legion, there had never been only one Decepticon who bore the name Demolishor.

They were born from a grand war machine formulated by Shockwave—the Devastator Project—and were one of the six fixed members of the Constructicon team.

The so-called "Devastator Project" was to artificially create six Sparks that attracted each other through special manufacturing technology and transplant them into six different Decepticons.

These six Decepticons were respectively called

Their Sparks attracted each other, and their bodies were also specially modified; once the six Decepticons got close, they would be driven by instinct to merge into one, becoming a powerful war machine—Devastator, a giant combined Decepticon that had brought countless deaths and destruction to the Autobots during the Cybertronian Civil War.

Therefore, in order to ensure the integrity of this combat power, Devastator.

Shockwave collaborated for the first time with Starscream, who was also skilled in cultivating Decepticon Cannon Fodder Warriors. Although the Constructicon team had only six fixed members from the beginning, within the Decepticon Legion, whether it was Hook, Scavenger, Demolishor, Bonecrusher, Mixmaster, or Scrapper, more than one of each had been cultivated.

Because the technology for combined Decepticons was not mature when Devastator was born, the six members of the Constructicon team could not be separated once they combined, and the energy consumed by the giant combined Decepticon Devastator was terrifying. Therefore, under normal circumstances, any Decepticon Commander who knew the special nature of the Constructicon team would not easily let them get close to each other, especially appearing in the same area or Task.

Although the opponent looked exceptionally terrifying, the Pathfinder felt not the slightest panic in his heart.

Through his previous observations, he had confirmed that the data collected in the Base regarding Demolishor should be true.

This guy's movement speed was not fast, he was not equipped with any energy or high-power weapons, and he did not look like he had the ability to counterattack from the air.

And he himself was more agile, possessed a longer range, and had more powerful firepower; as long as he wasn't brain-dead enough to engage in close-quarters combat with the opponent, the Pathfinder was certain he almost completely countered Demolishor.

Thinking of this, the joints of the armor on his back that looked like wings suddenly squirmed, and immediately two slender Missiles along with their launchers quietly popped out from under the thick armor on his back and quickly locked onto the target.
