Chapter 677: Tactics Take Shape (First Update) Seeking Subscriptions
To entrust one's life entirely to the whims of others.
This has never been Sun Cheng's style, especially since his level of trust in the Autobots clearly hasn't reached that point.
Optimus Prime and his team are a good trump card, but they are by no means his only reliance.
The entire Trindade Island quickly formed a highly detailed virtual projection sand table in Sun Cheng's mind, and within this sand table, blue dots under his control were continuously activated from three different locations and rapidly entered the battlefield.
"Whoosh!"
Above the sky, twenty-four Second Generation Aerial Combat Robots, which had been improved not long ago, flew out rapidly from their deployment sites under Sun Cheng's control.
At the peaks of Trindade Peak and Danova Peak, twelve long-range sniper robots were deployed in place at each, and the modified sniper rifles in their hands were each aimed at a target.
Astrotrain glanced at the heavily damaged Soundwave and, locking onto Sun Cheng, charged over immediately.
He is a standard brute, brave in battle and fearless of death.
Even when facing Optimus Prime, this Autobot Leader, he dares to fiercely charge up and hold Optimus Prime down.
If he were to get entangled by him, Sun Cheng would definitely be unable to handle it.
With a thought, the twelve Second Generation Aerial Combat Robots turned their muzzles in unison and began firing wildly at Astrotrain.
At the same time, the other twelve aimed their muzzles at Soundwave and fired continuously.
The caliber of the sniper rifles used by the long-range sniper robots on the distant mountain peaks had been adjusted, changing from the original 12.7 millimeters to 20 millimeters.
At the same time, the sniper bullets they were equipped with were also changed from the original custom Carbonized Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Shells to a 1:1 mixture with Depleted Uranium Shells.
Under Sun Cheng's control, half of the long-range sniper robots kept their targets locked on Astrotrain's eyes.
The other half stared fixedly at the wound on Soundwave's chest; if just one bullet hit his Spark, this guy would lose his life on Trindade Island.
Locked on by the Second Generation Aerial Combat Robots, Astrotrain soon fell into a state of frenzy.
"You damn flies!"
After the twelve Second Generation Aerial Combat Robots were improved, they became equipped with two energy cannons and two normal cannons capable of firing custom armor-piercing shells.
Although the shells they fired were not enough to heavily damage Astrotrain, every armor-piercing shell could leave a radial circle of fine cracks on the surface armor of his body.
Once hit by an energy cannon, the cracks would spread rapidly, like ice flowers blooming on a window in winter.
Although even if his whole body were covered in such wounds, it would still not affect Astrotrain's combat ability.
But being harassed like this constantly, this brute-like Decepticon warrior would soon become violent due to irritation.
Seeing him raise his Ion Displacement Rifle and aim the muzzle at a Second Generation Aerial Combat Robot, Sun Cheng gripped the Ship-Slaying Blade in his hand, fully engaged the Auxiliary Power System beneath his legs, and under the force of the abundant thrust, he rushed to Astrotrain's side in the blink of an eye.
He raised the Ship-Slaying Blade in his hand and slashed fiercely at his weapon, the Ion Displacement Rifle.
Screech!
After a burst of ear-piercing metal friction, Astrotrain's weapon, the Ion Displacement Rifle, broke into two pieces.
This guy's most threatening lethal weapon was gone!
Meanwhile, more than a dozen custom bullets from the long-range sniper robots crossed a distance of over two thousand meters and accurately struck Astrotrain's eyes.
"Damn it!"
Accompanied by a roar, one of Astrotrain's eyes, after being hit repeatedly by several custom armor-piercing shells and depleted uranium shells, sparked everywhere and was clearly blinded.
Triple Changer Astrotrain, indeed, after receiving modification after modification from Shockwave, possessed a powerful body capable of going head-to-head with a Leader Class existence.
But this does not mean that every part of his body is strong enough to be without flaws.
His eyes clearly were not yet strong enough to remain intact under the successive attacks of several custom armor-piercing shells and depleted uranium shells.
With a "pop" of gunfire, while having to deal with Sun Cheng and the Second Generation Aerial Combat Robots from the sky, he had to spare a hand to block the bullets constantly attacking his eyes at any time.
"Well done!"
Sun Cheng, whose pressure had sharply decreased, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, which also made him realize that his choice was not wrong.
The 【Transformers Universe】 is not safe; whether it is the conflict between humans and Cybertronians, or the infighting between Autobots and Decepticons, it has never ceased since he arrived in this world.
So even if Sun Cheng is unwilling to be drawn into it, he must force himself to think about how to win in conflicts that might involve him.
To this end, he must force himself to master a combat style.
From the Second Civil War to the present, with the depletion of resources and energy on the planet Cybertron, now, whether it is Autobots or Decepticons, unless it is a large-scale war, combat methods are basically dominated by close-quarters combat that conserves the most internal energy.
Simple, brutal, just using one's powerful body to crush the opponent.
Sun Cheng is not very used to this combat style; it's very low, because the operability of this combat style is too poor.
Ordinary Decepticons and Autobots must pay several times the sacrifice when facing Advanced Warriors to have a chance to fight them.
Similarly, even if there is only one Elite Warrior, they possess the strength to crush an Advanced Warrior.
Commanders and Leaders are already the top combat power of the Decepticons and Autobots.
Without his own forces, what does it matter if ordinary Autobots and Decepticons possess lifespans of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years?
Throughout their lives, they are very likely unable to gather enough resources to upgrade their Cores, Sparks, and even New Bodies.
That is why there is a strict hierarchical system within the Cybertronians.
Limited by the lack of manpower under his command, Sun Cheng cannot learn and does not want to learn the combat methods of the Decepticons and Autobots.
So from a long time ago, he has been constantly trying to explore a combat system and tactics suitable for himself.
Previously, Starscream threw in a large number of Decepticon Cannon Fodder and paid the price of the sacrifice of hundreds of replica warriors to successfully snipe Optimus Prime, which gave Sun Cheng great inspiration.
Although before this, he had tried to use various combat robots continuously perfected and updated by his Decepticon Engineers to cooperate with himself in group combat, allowing himself to transform from one person into a legion at any time.
But the results were not good, because the combat robots' bodies were too fragile, making their performance unsatisfactory whether facing Decepticons or Autobots.
It wasn't until the last time, that attempt when he faced The Fallen directly.
Sun Cheng finally found a tactic and combat style suitable for himself.
