Chapter 762: War on the Dark Side of the Moon (Part II)

~7 min read 1,288 words

It is still the Dark Side of the Moon, and still that same war zone.

Following Optimus Prime's order, the Aerialbots combined to form the Giant Combiner—Superion.

After a blinding flash of light, a behemoth over forty-five meters tall immediately appeared on the battlefield.

The Giant Combiner—Superion, a terrifying war machine formed by Aerialbot squad Captain—Silverbolt as the main body, Slingshot as the right arm, Fireflight as the left arm, Skydive as the right leg, and Air Raid as the left leg.

It is equipped with a laser particle gun that can easily destroy the defenses of all known Decepticon military outposts, and an energy particle armor that can be summoned at any time, even providing it with powerful defensive capabilities to withstand nuclear weapon explosions.

When Superion appeared on the field, the situation immediately became one-sided.

Slingshot controlled the laser particle gun and fired a shot at a Decepticon outpost over a hundred meters away.

After a roaring explosion, a crater dozens of meters deep appeared on the surface of the Moon, and the dozen or so Decepticon clone warriors hiding inside, waiting to provide support, instantly turned into a pile of debris, without the slightest ability to resist.

Above in the sky, having lost the containment of the Aerialbots, the Decepticon fighter jets began to frantically concentrate their firepower, pouring it down onto the Autobots on the ground.

They did not care at all about the clone warriors on the ground who were also entangled with the Autobots, and friendly fire occurred frequently.

Superion noticed this scene; its right hand raised the laser particle gun to fire continuously at the Decepticon fighter jets in the sky, while its left arm lifted, and one by one, the armor plates opened, revealing circles of densely packed missiles.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Accompanied by a whistling sound, the launched missiles quickly struck the Decepticon fighter jets in the sky, shooting down more than a dozen of them in a very short time.

However, it could not change the course of the battle.

Optimus Prime had to actively link to Superion's communication channel and ordered: "Superion, do not get held up by those Decepticon fighter jets. You are to act as the spearhead; charge the Decepticon encirclement immediately. Your target is their Moon Base!"

"Understood!"

After the reply, Superion activated the energy particle armor on its body and began to charge at a trot toward the area on the battlefield where the clone warriors were most concentrated.

The appearance of this behemoth caused some panic in the ranks of the clone warriors.

Countless bullets began to pour onto Superion's body, but whether it was metal slugs or energy bullets, when they hit Superion's chassis, they only caused the layer of energy particle armor covering its surface to ripple like water.

"Insignificant as insects!"

It lowered its head and glanced disdainfully at the damage blocked by the energy particle armor; the voice was Fireflight's.

Each of the five members of the Aerialbots possesses serious personality flaws.

Captain Silverbolt is a recognized brave, strict, and firm Warrior, but as the Commander of the Autobots' most important aerial combat unit, he suffers from severe acrophobia, which has caused problems more than once in past battles.

Deputy Captain Air Raid, a brave and battle-hardened Warrior, has recklessness as his greatest weakness. In the past, the Aerialbots were often surrounded and fell into desperate fights due to his rashness. Air Raid always worries that thinking too much will make him a burden to his comrades, so he always acts more and thinks less.

Lieutenant Fireflight's thinking is too erratic, which often leads to him being distracted on the battlefield.

This guy is equally dangerous to both Decepticons and Autobots. In jet mode, his primary weapon is a type of missile that releases a large amount of self-igniting mist upon explosion; the lethality of this high-temperature attack is immense, and the resulting flames are difficult to extinguish.

In combat mode, Fireflight's weapon—the photon displacer gun—can distort light waves, effectively rendering the target unable to see anything for approximately 5 minutes of Earth time.

And his best record was shooting down eleven Decepticon fighter jets in a single battle, while simultaneously causing seven Autobot comrades to be injured.

Skydive and Deputy Captain Air Raid often go on missions together, and their personalities are diametrically opposed.

Skydive likes to think and study various air combat theories. He occasionally verifies his dangerous theories in person, for which he has suffered several times more injuries in the testing grounds than on the battlefield.

Slingshot is the least popular of the Aerialbots; he is vainglorious and always uses bragging about his own merits to cover up his lack of confidence and inferiority.

Because he is so detestable, Autobot support teams often fabricate excuses to refuse to deploy when they hear that the target needing rescue is Slingshot.

"Don't delay, our combination time is limited..."

Silverbolt is worthy of being the Captain; although he has severe acrophobia, his extremely high military literacy allows him to distinguish what needs to be done most right now.

Following his command, Superion was like a liberated war machine, frantically charging at the Decepticon defensive line.

The Dark Side of the Moon has been managed by Starscream for over a hundred years. On this vast land, he has built one hidden outpost after another, deploying a large number of clone warriors and Decepticon fighter jets within them.

This is also why the Autobots encountered Decepticon patrols shortly after entering the dark side region, exposing their surprise attack operation.

Outposts were built around the Moon Base, forming circular defensive belts that firmly protected the Moon Base, which Starscream had established relying on Megatron's ship, the Nemesis, at the very center.

And Superion and the others were currently charging at the Decepticon outpost that was blocking the Autobots' advance toward the Moon Base.

Once again, it raised the laser particle gun in its hand and fired at another outpost hundreds of meters away.

After the roar of the explosion, another man-made crater appeared on the ground of the Dark Side of the Moon.

And the Decepticon clone warriors in that direction, having lost two consecutive outposts they could rely on for fire support, saw holes immediately appear in the defensive line that had been firmly blocking the Autobots.

The Autobot Warriors let out excited shouts and began to concentrate their strength to charge the gap, attempting to crush these Decepticon clone warriors who outnumbered them by nearly ten times.

Superion was naturally the first to charge, moving the fastest.

Their combination time is limited, so they need to make as many contributions as possible during the combination.

The laser particle gun fired continuously, and at the same time, to save energy, Superion also began to use its fists and feet to attack those clone warriors when it got close to the Decepticons.

"Bang!"

In the sonic boom of a punch, a Decepticon was sent flying into mid-air, tracing a long parabola before falling onto a battlefield over a hundred meters away, with shattered metal pieces and frames splattering everywhere.

"Autobots, charge!"

Superion looked down fiercely at the clone warriors who had been completely routed, watching the Decepticons who began to flee in twos and threes toward the distance, and a proud smile appeared on its face.

But the smile did not last three seconds before a fluctuation that made Superion feel very disgusted and familiar appeared.

"Devastator!"

Frowning, it looked into the distance, about two kilometers to the southwest, where a roar was deafening.

Superion snorted coldly; it knew that was Devastator issuing a challenge to it.

Without hesitation, it strode forward and charged toward the southwest.
