Chapter 888: A Tiger's Head and a Snake's Tail (Part 2)
On the remote battlefield, they were actually trading blows back and forth, looking quite professional.
Attacking the carefully nurtured new Combaticons, their strength was still quite impressive.
Although they were few in number, every one of them was an Elite Warrior.
Within the Decepticon Legion, the reason Elite Warriors are more prestigious than Advanced Warriors is that they must be superior to Advanced Warriors in at least one or more aspects, whether it be body integrity, strength, agility, firepower, or detection capabilities.
For instance, the troublemaker within the Combaticons—Brawl—changed his transformation form after arriving on Earth from an original Cybertronian tank to an American M1 Main Battle Tank.
This guy is a cut above ordinary Elite Warriors in terms of strength and body armor integrity.
Although Brawl's firepower is slightly inferior to the average Elite Warrior, and his speed and detection are major weaknesses, his sheer body integrity and brute force not only created his violent temper but also turned Brawl into an unreasonable bull on the battlefield.
Blast Off is also a short-tempered jerk; he is one of the two members of the Combaticons who possesses a flight form, and he is superior to many Elite Warriors in terms of speed and firepower, though his body integrity and strength are somewhat lacking.
During the Cybertronian Civil War, Blast Off's transformation form was a medium-sized armed transport plane, which could not only transport supplies for the Decepticons on the front lines but also utilize the weapon systems loaded on the transport plane to provide cover for Decepticons fighting on the ground.
Because of this, Blast Off became the most popular member of the Combaticons.
Of course, this is only in comparison to his teammates.
After all, within the Decepticon Legion, the Combaticons have never had a good reputation.
After arriving on Earth, Blast Off's current flight form has also been changed to the AC-130J gunship, known as the "gunship of the sky" in the US military.
Vortex is the second Decepticon among the five members of the Combaticons, besides Blast Off, to possess flight capabilities.
Some Decepticons believe he is the most rational member of the Combaticons, but since the Combaticons have the "reputation" of being a concentration camp for thugs/maniacs within the Decepticon Legion, the content of this "rationality" can be imagined.
Vortex is undoubtedly also a bastard with a nasty personality, although his fame is far inferior to his other four teammates.
His hobby, well-known to the Decepticons, is torturing prisoners, and he never tires of it.
During the Cybertronian Civil War, Vortex's transformation form was also a small fighter jet, possessing decent firepower and speed.
And after arriving on Earth, his current flight form has transformed into an American Black Hawk UH-60 combat helicopter.
Although Vortex's combat power is not as good as Brawl and Blast Off, this guy can use his rotor blades to create a Vortex that can destroy terrain and buildings, which is also the origin of his name.
At the same time, whether in flight form or combat form, Vortex is equipped with a semi-automatic adhesive gun and two cannons.
Therefore, purely in terms of firepower, Vortex can be considered second only to Onslaught within the Combaticons, which is why he is valued by Onslaught.
Among the Combaticons, the most inconspicuous one is undoubtedly Swindle.
Although this guy is an old thing born during the era of the Cybertronian Elder Council, and he once spent a long time hanging around the Black Market and the arms market, he is proficient in various Cybertronian standard weapons and modifications.
Yet his strength is far from matching his experience, especially his insidious and cowardly personality, which is not only looked down upon by many Decepticons, but even his teammates within the Combaticons, after figuring out his personality, treat him as a punching bag.
Sun Cheng actually paid attention to this guy the moment he encountered the Combaticons.
His current transformation form is, surprisingly, an American Humvee H2 military off-road vehicle.
Swindle seems to have no memory related to Sun Cheng at all, which gives him some faint guesses about Swindle's current state.
Amidst the sound of explosions and metal colliding, the battle quickly entered a white-hot state.
Sun Cheng's two Elite Warriors, Thunder and Frenzy, after more than ten minutes of fighting, had already suppressed Brawl and Swindle respectively.
And Blast Off and Vortex, each of them had to face more than a dozen Advanced Decepticon Warriors.
Although the two Decepticons were far superior in strength to Sun Cheng's side, the numerical advantage had somewhat recovered the situation, and those two battlefields should be considered the most intense places.
However, just as Thunder and Frenzy were suppressing their opponents, the Advanced Warriors dealing with Blast Off and Vortex also began to suffer casualties.
It turned out that Blast Off and Vortex, seeing that the battle had reached a stalemate and their side was entangled by more than twenty Decepticons from the opposite side, unable to fully exert their strength, very tacitly performed a coordinated maneuver.
Blast Off and Vortex suddenly fired a large number of combat missiles from their arms and backs simultaneously, forcing the Advanced Decepticon Warriors surrounding them and Vortex to dodge.
And Vortex took the opportunity to leap into mid-air, suddenly transforming into a Black Hawk UH-60 combat helicopter.
Then his rotors spun rapidly, and a stream of artificially created Topspin airflow blew the Advanced Warriors surrounding them until they were staggering.
The wind force grew stronger and stronger, gradually expanding from affecting a circular area with a diameter of no more than five or six meters to an area of forty or fifty meters.
The gale twisted the ground, not only blowing all the mud and sand on the ground into the sky, but even uprooting trees.
The Advanced Decepticon Warriors under Sun Cheng's command, because they were besieging Blast Off and Vortex, were all surrounded within a range of ten to several tens of meters around them.
The Vortex created by Vortex undoubtedly caught them off guard, and the powerful wind force even blew several Advanced Decepticon Warriors with lighter bodies directly into mid-air.
And the other Advanced Decepticon Warriors were also blown staggering by the Vortex, unable to even stand steady, let alone fight.
However, Blast Off was not affected; he and his teammate Vortex clearly had excellent tacit understanding.
And such a good opportunity, Blast Off naturally would not miss.
And so, the sacrifice appeared just like that.
The first Advanced Warrior Sun Cheng lost was pierced through the chest by a Long Sword violently thrown by Blast Off.
That was an Advanced Decepticon Warrior—Steel Pincer—who was blown into mid-air by the Vortex; he focused on enhancement in speed and detection, and although this brought decent speed and detection capabilities to this excellent scout under Sun Cheng, his body clearly could not escape the Vortex, nor could he defend against the Vortex's Long Sword.
The Long Sword easily pierced his Spark, and amidst a harsh sound like glass shattering, Steel Pincer's Spark was extinguished.
"Bastard!"
Thunder let out a roar; through the tempering of guarding Base No. 2 for the past half year, his personality had thawed much more than in the past.
Because he had served as the Military Commander of Base No. 2 for a long time, among this batch of Advanced Warriors Sun Cheng brought, he knew almost every one of them and had inspected them or assigned them Tasks.
Steel Pincer's sacrifice undoubtedly made Thunder extremely furious, and the attacks in his hands were immediately several times more ferocious than before, even willing to trade injury for injury.
In an instant, Brawl, who was already suppressed by him, immediately had several more wounds on his body that made him curse loudly.
