Chapter 674: The Big Train Has Arrived

Drawing his Long Sword, Pioneer rushed over quickly and slashed fiercely at Hatchet's head.

"Screech!"

With a harsh sound of metal grinding, Hatchet's head was separated from his body; his twitching frame immediately stopped moving and showed no further reaction.

Crankcase was a standard Decepticon; like Barricade, he was the type who had no friends and did not trust his comrades much.

However, the Terrorcons trio had been through thousands of battles and battlefields, and he, Hatchet, and Crowbar had long since become a well-coordinated unit.

This was why he was willing to accept the Replica Warrior Project and, after gaining an alternative form of immortality in this way, was still willing to continue teaming up with Hatchet and Crowbar to carry out Tasks.

Seeing his two companions killed in action, there was not a hint of sadness in Crankcase's heart.

Having voluntarily joined the Decepticon Legion's Replica Warrior Project, his Memory Chip, along with those of his two companions Hatchet and Crowbar, had already been copied and backed up; as long as the Decepticon Legion still needed their combat power, they would be cultivated again.

Crankcase was undoubtedly a very cruel Decepticon, and his frame had been modified.

Many parts that he considered unnecessary, including his vocal system, had all been removed and replaced with combat systems that were easy to manufacture and possessed considerable power.

"Hiss..."

The death of his two companions caused Crankcase to let out a hiss that was hard to tell if it was out of anger or fear.

His coordination with Laserbeak was quite good, and at this moment, he had left some wounds on Thunder, though none were fatal; their weapons were not yet enough to severely damage Thunder.

At this time, Pioneer, having dealt with Hatchet, had already cast a cold gaze upon the two of them.

Soundwave and Sun Cheng both noticed the changes among the Terrorcons; compared to Sun Cheng's calmness, Soundwave's mood was much worse.

"Damn traitors, how dare you betray the Decepticons..."

"Repeating the same few lines over and over—now that your sensors can't read our inner thoughts, is this all the skill you have left?"

Drawing his Plasma Cannon and forcing Soundwave back once more, Sun Cheng sneered repeatedly.

After tangling with Soundwave for a long time, he also had quite a few wounds on his body. However, Sun Cheng had not let him off easily either; Soundwave's frame also bore wounds, though none were heavy.

Swindle could be considered the most heavily injured one on the field; his agility was far inferior to Ravage's, and he had been left with one wound after another by the latter's use of speed, while he had only managed to leave a few on his opponent.

Fortunately, this guy valued his life very much; he dared not gamble on whether Sun Cheng or Starscream would resurrect him after his death.

Therefore, during the battle, Swindle kept moving closer toward Thunder and Pioneer.

A sharp whistling sound soon rang out above the sky.

Soundwave and the others in the middle of the battle looked up, and their expressions changed in unison.

Missile after missile came dragging long "tails" from the northwest, and soon landed on Trindade Island.

Seeing that Sun Cheng and his team did not dodge or hide, but instead suddenly all gained a set of peculiar outer armor, Soundwave realized at this moment that the other side had been prepared long ago.

"Damn it..."

He cursed loudly, instantly realizing that this was a trap aimed at him.

He immediately leaped into the sky, preparing to leave.

"Only realizing it now? Too late!"

Sun Cheng, who had endured for a long time without making a major move, finally stopped holding back at this moment.

"Keep them here!"

He roared, and Thunder and Pioneer nearby understood in unison; they simultaneously opened fire at full power, instantly pinning down Laserbeak and Ravage, who also seemed to have sensed something amiss and were preparing to retreat.

As for Crankcase from the Terrorcons, he was ranked relatively low on Sun Cheng's kill list.

Swindle was uncharacteristically cooperative for once; seeing Pioneer suddenly rush toward Ravage, he was overjoyed and immediately tangled with Crankcase.

In terms of strength, Crankcase and Ravage were actually about the same.

However, his speed was not much better than Swindle's, and his power was inferior.

Once the two Decepticons faced off, a ferocious look soon appeared on Swindle's face; having been bullied by Ravage's speed for half the battle, he was now filled with pent-up anger, and Crankcase happened to be a good punching bag.

The whistling Missiles soon landed on Trindade Island; when the first Missile was detonated, a violent electromagnetic pulse instantly paralyzed some of the electronic equipment on the small island, and thick white smoke could be seen everywhere.

"Since you've come, don't leave!"

Suddenly grabbing Soundwave's leg, Sun Cheng sneered and prevented him from transforming.

At the same time, violent power erupted instantly; he yanked Soundwave's leg and threw him back toward the island.

"Boom!"

A Missile soon exploded not far from the two; when the violent electromagnetic wave erupted, the blue light in Sun Cheng's eyes dimmed slightly for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

The layer of outer armor they had suddenly equipped was a type of composite armor that the Engineers at Base No. 2 had urgently manufactured not long ago at Sun Cheng's request, using special aluminum foil and some other glass and fiber materials; it possessed decent anti-electromagnetic capabilities.

Long ago, Sun Cheng had known that electromagnetic weapons caused far more damage to Cybertronians than ordinary weapons and some Energy Weapons.

Therefore, electromagnetic weapons, especially various high-yield pulse bombs, had always been a long-term research project for the Decepticon Engineers under his command.

Various anti-electromagnetic materials and equipment had likewise not been overlooked by them.

Not long ago, electromagnetic weapons had performed brilliantly within Jordan and Egypt, which truly made Sun Cheng overjoyed.

Afterward, in addition to specifically designing a batch of electromagnetic bombs that Hailishi could use and launch, he did not forget to have his Decepticon Engineers rush to manufacture a few sets of protective gear for his own main combatants to use under the bombardment of electromagnetic bombs.

Today, needing to face Soundwave and his team directly, Sun Cheng knew very well that if they were negligent even once, the other side might escape; after all, they would not be easily exposed again to give them another chance for an ambush.

Therefore, from the very beginning, they were all prepared to suffer eight hundred losses to kill one thousand enemies; as long as they could keep the other side there, it was a victory.

A set of special anti-electromagnetic armor, combined with the Anti-electromagnetic Device inside Sun Cheng and his team.

With the two combined, even when facing the attack of electromagnetic pulse bombs directly, the damage they sustained would definitely be much smaller than that of Soundwave and his team.

So even if the other side had some backup plans, Sun Cheng and his team were not too worried, because he still held the trump card of the Autobots, which had not been revealed yet.

From dozens of kilometers away, Hailishi kept launching electromagnetic pulse bombs.

The electromagnetic shocks on Trindade Island erupted continuously, and thick white smoke soon began to rise from Soundwave and his subordinates.

Sun Cheng knew that time was of the essence; seeing Soundwave severely damaged, he sneered and raised his Ship-Slaying Blade, charging toward him.

And at this moment, ten thousand meters above Trindade Island, an airplane that had appeared out of nowhere slowly opened its cargo bay, and as many as several hundred bombs poured down from the cargo bay of this B-1B Lancer large long-range strategic Bomber.

The explosions soon plunged Trindade Island into a sea of fire.

Astrotrain is here!
