Chapter 800: The Current Situation on Mars (Part 1)
The name "Original Titan" is a foreign concept to the vast majority of Cybertronians.
However, Sun Cheng happens not to be among that vast majority of Cybertronians!
Having absorbed the Memory Data of many Decepticons and Autobots, including Frenzy, Soundwave, Jazz, Jetfire, and Swindle, although he had not experienced it personally, he found information regarding the Original Titans in the database he specifically established for Cybertron within his Core.
Original Titans were super-giant Warriors that appeared in the ancient era of Cybertron, and one of the reference prototypes for the Giant Combiners created by the Autobots and Decepticons.
They only appeared a few times in the ancient era of Cybertron; their numbers are unknown, and the only ones who left behind their names are Metroplex, Fortress Maximus, and Garuda.
Legend has it that the Original Titans, like the Predacons, were the first terrifying giants born on the planet Cybertron.
There is also a theory that, like the Thirteen Primes of Cybertron, they were all helpers created by the Creators to resist evil.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Jetfire spent a lot of time finding a small amount of records about the Original Titans from the many former libraries of Cybertron.
In Soundwave's memories, there is also a fragment of three Original Titans suddenly appearing on the battlefield shortly after the outbreak of the Cybertronian Civil War, attempting to mediate the civil war between the Decepticons and Autobots, though they were ultimately unsuccessful.
Those three Original Titans recorded by Soundwave are the only three among the Original Titans who left behind their names; their names are Metroplex, Fortress Maximus, and Garuda.
Because the size of the three Original Titans was so immense that it was comparable to a mountain, it is said that they once hid themselves by transforming into three cities during the era of the Cybertronian Elder Council and went into hibernation.
Therefore, the Original Titans have two other names: City-sized Transformer and City Transformer.
Sun Cheng's understanding of the Original Titans comes entirely from the Cybertronian database, supplemented by the memories of Jetfire and Soundwave.
Although he has never witnessed an Original Titan with his own eyes, he has conducted specialized research on powerful Giant Combiners in the Decepticon and Autobot factions, such as Devastator, Superion, and Menasor.
Even Giant Combiners like Devastator, Superion, and Menasor, which have time limits on their combination, can possess terrifying combat power after combining.
One can imagine just how terrifying the Original Titans, who are as tall as mountain peaks and said to be able to transform into cities, truly are.
His heart was immediately filled with more wariness toward the Laboratory on Mars mentioned in those Elder Scripts, but while Sun Cheng was wary, he was also deeply tempted by what Maxim had left behind.
Shadow Guards are a type of Combat Robot similar to Cybertronians, said to have been created by Maxim after he cruelly conducted a series of dissection studies on Cybertronians.
They possess no reason, not even the simplest logical thinking.
The birth of the Shadow Guards was for the purpose of slaughter and combat; Maxim branded his hatred for life into the very bones of the Shadow Guards, so they will do everything in their power to kill every living creature they see, especially Cybertronians.
"The fact that those ancient Cybertronians who hunted down Maxim only sealed and hid the Laboratory rather than destroying it completely suggests that there should still be Shadow Guards inside, or perhaps the Original Titans they feared..."
Sun Cheng also knows that greed is a cardinal sin.
But he still could not help but develop a keen interest in that Laboratory built by a Prime of Cybertron on Mars.
In this dangerous world, he will not easily miss anything that can enhance his own strength or the power of the forces under Sun Cheng's command.
If it weren't for the six Primes of Cybertron in an unknown state obstructing and even threatening his life at the time, Sun Cheng would not have given up on the Matrix of Leadership.
So much so that now, whenever he communicates with the Soul-Reaping Gun, he always feels annoyed about it.
"I must find time to investigate the Laboratory!"
However, as soon as this thought emerged, Sun Cheng forcibly suppressed it.
He did indeed develop greed for Maxim's Laboratory, but that does not mean his brain is broken now.
Even the ancient Cybertronians who hunted down Maxim in the past could not destroy it completely, which shows that there must be great danger inside the Laboratory.
Sun Cheng's current strength has not yet reached Leader Class, and on Mars today, the number of Decepticon Warriors he can call upon is only fifty.
If he were to accidentally release the dangerous Shadow Guards, or that Original Titan in an unknown state.
If his current body were destroyed, he would not be too heartbroken, as he has many ways to save his life.
But if the Mars Base were exposed, or even destroyed by the Shadow Guards and the Original Titan, ultimately leading to the destruction of this safe rear base.
Then, even if Sun Cheng obtained a lot of technology, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain in terms of his grand strategy.
Besides that, what worries him most is Maxim, whose whereabouts are unknown and whose life or death is uncertain.
Regarding this Maxim, who was once hunted by multiple Primes of Cybertron and may have died in battle, but may also just be hiding somewhere sleeping like The Fallen.
Sun Cheng is very worried that the other party left some contingency in the Laboratory on Mars, such as suddenly sending a warning message when he invades, and attracting this Prime.
Although according to the information he has already uncovered, Maxim's combat power is far inferior to The Fallen.
But he is a thorough conspirator, a guy even more dangerous than Starscream.
Maxim was able to strike at other Primes who were his siblings in the past, pitilessly tricking Solus Prime to death and tricking Megatronus into falling.
It is evident how ruthless his heart is and how vicious his methods are.
Sun Cheng does not believe he can face such an existence right now, so he can only temporarily suppress the greed in his heart.
"Just wait, it won't be long!"
Sun Cheng's New Body has already begun construction; although it is much slower to manufacture than those of the Pioneers because of his many requirements.
But Base No. 2 has been manufacturing it for four or five months, and conservatively estimated, it will be seen in at most one or two months.
After changing into the New Body, and then mobilizing the main combat forces under his command, Sun Cheng does not believe that they will be unable to breach this Laboratory on Mars that has existed for who knows how many years.
After straightening out his thoughts, he did not stay in the lounge for too long.
Soon, Sun Cheng walked out of the lounge.
And during the time he was resting, Adam and the others did not slack off, and batches of hibernating Decepticons were quickly undergoing Awakening.
So much so that shortly after Sun Cheng walked out of the lounge, he saw some Workers who had just arrived on Mars, already under the leadership of the first batch of Decepticons, beginning to familiarize themselves with the Mars Base and starting to work.
