Chapter 830: Regret and Rebirth (Part II)

He looked quietly at the old body before him, which had accompanied him and walked through countless crises in the past.

Sun Cheng did not think for long before storing it into the Spherical Space within his body.

The new body brought a leap in processing power, allowing him now to more boldly verify some ideas that previously could only remain at the conceptual stage.

For example, his private legion changing from controlled robots into powerful Decepticon bodies.

"I can give it a try!"

Sun Cheng was somewhat tempted, but he quickly threw this thought to the back of his mind.

In the short term, just adapting to this new body as quickly as possible and forming combat effectiveness would be enough of a challenge for him.

Not to mention forcing himself to accelerate the production of new bodies, and replacing them after only performing some minor debugging.

It was because the Decepticons on Earth had recently become frequently active again!

Not long ago, Trindade Island was once again attacked by Decepticons, and the leaders were still Thundercracker and Dirge.

These two guys were standard celebrity figures within the Decepticon Legion, and were once two of the main generals of the Decepticon Legion's air force, which had been built by Starscream single-handedly.

Later, after Starscream was relieved of his military duties by Megatron for rebelling multiple times, a group of Decepticons who had once been suppressed by him quickly rose to power, keeping the Autobots unable to lift their heads for a long time.

Although from the scale of the attacking Decepticons and the results reported by the Pioneers, Sun Cheng felt that the other side was likely careless.

But this was also a very bad signal; it expressed at least two meanings.

First, more elite Decepticon Warriors had already arrived in the Solar System.

Second, he had also been listed as a hunting target by the Decepticon Legion.

It was precisely this sense of imminent crisis that forced Sun Cheng to end the debugging of the new body ahead of schedule, and even some originally designed functions had to be delayed until subsequent enhancements to be added later.

"The peaceful times are over!"

He clenched his fists, feeling the more abundant power within the new body compared to the previous one; Sun Cheng was regretful yet also very satisfied.

Triple Changers were indeed powerful, but the related technology was not that easy to conquer.

Gears were indeed a gift bestowed upon Cybertronians by the Creators, but to say that they had been thoroughly researched—Shockwave, who pioneered the Triple Changer, probably could not do it even now.

Even today, Shockwave still needed a bit of luck, as well as massive resources and Decepticon lives, to experiment when cultivating Triple Changers.

As for the Autobots, if it weren't for the defection of several tortured Decepticon Triple Changers like Drift back then.

I am afraid the Autobots would still have to wait until they killed a Triple Changer on the battlefield, or captured one, before they could technically decipher this powerful warrior class.

The Decepticon engineers under Sun Cheng were certainly not more excellent than Shockwave or the scientists of the Autobots.

Even with Astrotrain, one of Shockwave's most perfect works, as a reference, wanting to reverse-engineer Shockwave's Triple Changer technology still required massive resources and time.

Waving his hand at Atlas, this Senior Engineer immediately understood and brought two doctors forward to check Sun Cheng's current body status.

And he looked at Thunder, who was guarding to the side, nodding at him with satisfaction: "You go rest first. Also, send out a notification that the research on Triple Changers needs some experimental subjects... Tell those below to capture as many clones as possible to serve as test subjects!"

"Yes!"

After Thunder responded, he left the Laboratory.

Not to mention Sun Cheng, who had just completed his new body and was stepping up the inspection and testing of the new body's fusion state, hoping to possess more combat power before the war arrived.

Almost at the same time, on the Moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

A somewhat disheveled figure fell onto the Dark Side of the Moon; the vibration caused by the impact attracted the Decepticon clones patrolling nearby, and also attracted Starscream, who was in the vicinity.

"Yo, isn't this Dirge..."

Looking at Dirge, who looked very disheveled in the impact crater, Starscream did not hide the sarcasm on his face and opened his mouth to mock him, "Didn't you and Thundercracker go to Earth to find trouble with Frenzy? How come you're back so soon?"

It was no wonder he was mercilessly sarcastic the moment he opened his mouth; the flight team that once kept the Decepticon Legion pressing the Autobots so they could barely lift their heads, although it was born during the era of the Cybertronian Elder Council.

But it was Starscream who truly led them to glory.

After the Decepticon Legion was formed, as one of the earliest giants to join, Starscream gained Megatron's appreciation in a very short time by virtue of his powerful combat strength and scientific research capabilities.

He then handed over his Guerrilla Force to Starscream to command, and Dirge, who was from the Cybertronian Noble class but voluntarily defected to Megatron and accepted Decepticon modification due to ambition, was the main general of the Guerrilla Force at that time.

After Starscream took over the Guerrilla Force, he immediately launched a comprehensive reorganization and strengthening of it.

He promoted many confidants, and at the same time began to use the technology he mastered to carry out enhancement modifications on the entire Guerrilla Force.

Although Dirge tried to compete with him for control of the Guerrilla Force, he was defeated due to the gap in strength and technology, and had to swallow his anger and temporarily lie low.

The Guerrilla Force was eventually reorganized into the flight team; Skywarp, Thundercracker, Acid Storm, Ion Storm, and a large number of later Decepticon air force generals were all modified and promoted during the period when Starscream commanded the flight team, and became famous quickly with the help of the civil war.

At that time, Starscream could be said to be at the height of his power, so much so that when he awakened to rebel against Megatron, overthrow his tyrannical rule, and change to inheriting the position of commander of the Decepticon Legion himself, quite a few Decepticon Warriors in the flight team were willing to follow him in rebellion.

As for the result, it was naturally a failure!

At the most critical moment, Dirge joined forces with other former Guerrilla Force members who had been suppressed by Starscream and lost power, and stabbed Starscream in the back.

Before the flight team was ready to cooperate with Starscream's rebellion, they took the initiative to contact Shockwave and cooperated with the army he sent to suppress the flight team.

At the same time, Starscream himself was captured by Soundwave and Shockwave and thrown into prison.

After that, Starscream was permanently relieved of his military duties by Megatron.

The flight team he had painstakingly managed for many years also fell into the hands of Dirge and several other former Guerrilla Force generals from then on.

Although Starscream himself knew that even if the flight team had cooperated with his rebellion back then, it might not have succeeded.

But how could enemies not be jealous when they meet, especially since not long ago, he had just 'kindly' and 'tactfully' conveyed Frenzy's cunning and difficulty to them, and was laughed at by the arrogant Dirge and the others at the time.

At that time, Starscream was just enduring and waiting to watch a good show now; now that the show had started, it was naturally his turn to have some fun.
