Chapter 478 Cybertron Addict
Starscream and Megatron meet at the cargo ship port of the Ironclad Orbital Station. The commanders of the searchers were divided on both sides, maintaining a state of alertness that was not hostile.
"And there's a welcome team?"
Megatron looked at this scene and smiled:
"Think I'm welcome, haha. Let me see what you're hiding here."
"This proposal is not very good."
Starscream said calmly.
"I didn't ask for your opinion."
Megatron said calmly.
He personally selected a bodyguard to accompany him, so that in the event of a battle the winner would have to be determined. Starscream and Megatron knew this, but neither wanted to be the first to cause a conflict.
"Since when did you know about it?"
Megatron asked straight to the point.
"To be honest, I still don't know the specific situation." Starscream replied, "Before the war started, the air command center learned that there was something in the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station, but it didn't know what it was. The orbital station's The staff didn’t know either. So I deployed troops at Satellite Base No. 1. On the one hand, I ensured that the Autobots would not control the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station. On the other hand, I also wanted to monitor that thing.”
"oh oh."
Megatron nodded repeatedly at this unclear explanation:
"So you don't think it's necessary to notify me of all this."
"I don't see anything wrong with that."
Starscream shrugged and said:
"In the early stages of the war, any wrong decision may benefit the enemy. What if you use the dark super energy body and are implicated, or all the participating troops suffer together? We may die or become prisoners."
Megatron tried to control his anger:
"We might as well win this war sooner rather than later without leaving Cybertron so desolate."
"Are you willing to take the risk?"
Starscream shook his head and said:
"I don't think so. Now you look back and think about the past, and you think it might be successful. But at that time, you only wanted to occupy the big city and destroy the Autobots. If the legend about the dark super energy body is true, those of yours Our vulnerable gladiator friends could bring about unprecedented destruction for Cybertron. What's the point of winning the war that way? What do you gain?"
Megatron grabbed Starscream's neck and lifted him up into the air.
"I can move your head so that you don't have to think about what decision to make." Megatron snapped, "Or there is another option. You admit that you just made a mistake and swear you will not make it again in the future. "
"Maybe there's another possibility."
Starscream said looking at Megatron.
Megatron waited for him to continue.
Starscream smiled and shook his fingers, still looking relaxed and without any fear even after being lifted in the air.
"I think you should quit the war and continue to entertain the audience. Let me win this war." Starscream said calmly, "This is not a gladiatorial arena. No one will cheer for the two of us. Do you want to win the war? If you want to defeat the car Man, my power is essential, I now control the fate of the Decepticons. You don't want to trust me? Think of that librarian."
"Because my enemies don't believe you, so I should believe you? Is that what you mean?"
Megatron asked rhetorically.
Starscream was held by Megatron and couldn't nod, but he still tried hard and answered seriously:
"That's right."
"Make no mistake, I can win this war without you Starscream."
Although Megatron wanted to kill Starscream, he didn't want to lose the search team - Jetfire's incident was a lesson to him. So he put Starscream down:
"But I really don't want to make things more complicated. Take me to see the dark super energy body, and then we will put it into actual combat as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"But the problem is that no one can predict the consequences of using dark super energy bodies."
Starscream spread his hands.
"Then let's figure this out now."
Megatron waved his hands impatiently and said:
"Where is it kept?"
"I haven't seen it either."
Starscream stood there and said calmly:
"I leave it all to the scientific research team, bitstream and hot link. They are responsible for keeping the dark super energy body."
"This is why I am the leader and you are the subordinates." Megatron said, "You let your second-in-command guide your actions."
"It is impossible to achieve long-term victory by just focusing on short-term goals," Starscream sneered. "You probably noticed the dark super energy body recently and thought it was waiting for you here. But I have to remind you, Megatron, As early as the beginning of the war, I had obtained the dark super energy body, and you were still pretending to give a speech. I am much more patient than you."
"Maybe I shouldn't give the speech."
Megatron said expressionlessly.
"Then I will give a speech. Do you think I am a potential traitor? Very good. I can't change your suspicious nature, and I don't want to change it. I will always keep the dark super energy body and fully understand its nature before putting it into use. .”
"Lie!" Megatron said, "If Soundwave's spies hadn't discovered it, you would have kept it a secret."
Starscream looked at Megatron sympathetically and said:
"Do you think I don't know that Sonic's mini-Kong is moving around in the tubes of the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station?"
"Okay, stop messing around with those useless things, let me take a look at it." Megatron gradually lost his patience.
"I quarantined them all."
Starscream replied:
"I asked the researchers to report the research results to me after they draw conclusions. No one has come to investigate here for a long time. The only person who knows the truth inside the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station is probably working in the data recording hall of the Iron Castle now."
"You mean Orion Pax?"
Megatron asked, narrowing his eyes.
Starscream shrugged and said:
"He may know that, after all, all records in the data network are stored in Iron Castle's servers and databases. And as far as I know, the Iron Castle Archivist admires him very much."
"How do you know these details?"
Megatron stared at Starscream.
"Do you doubt me, Megatron?"
Starscream's voice was very soft:
"The dark super energy body has been stored with me, but I didn't take it for myself, right? I didn't use it to charge my search team. If its properties are as legendary, maybe now I have control He defeated the Decepticons and even dominated the entire Cybertron, taking away everything you had. Now do you know why I don’t use it?”
Megatron said calmly:
"Because you are smart enough to know fear."
"Ha." Starscream smiled when he heard this and said, "Praise is also a deadly blade. It's really unexpected that a gladiator can say such scene words."
"You really can't think of it." Megatron sneered and replied, "You pretend to be loyal to the Decepticons, Starscream. But you are just like the Autobots, a product of class."
"Then you are a product of the Caron City Arena. Not because you once belonged to that class, but because in your eyes, everything depends on plundering, either your energy crystals or other people's energy crystals."
Starscream mockingly bowed to Megatron:
"I admit defeat. You are welcome at the Armored Dragon Orbital Station, Megatron. Please don't cause damage or hurt my men. Everything else is at your disposal."
…
Iron Castle, Data Recording Hall.
Optimus Prime called everyone together.
Optimus Prime's temporary headquarters was the reading room of the Record Hall. Fu Qinghai followed other senior Autobots in. The ceiling was very high and there were long and narrow arched windows, creating a precious calm atmosphere in a war-torn era.
"What is it, Optimus Prime?"
Jazz asked first.
"I have no idea."
Optimus Prime shook his head:
"It's Master Titanium who wants to see us."
Master Titanium? Fu Qinghai was a little surprised.
After the frank and detailed discussion before, he knew very well that as long as Master Titanium could still have an impact on the war, he would not tell the contents of the "Covenant of Cybertron". Why did he suddenly ask Optimus Prime to summon all the Autobots? Senior?
Just as he was thinking this, the chief file clerk walked in.
"Master Titanium."
Optimus Prime was the first to say hello.
"I'm here to tell you...well, I can't possibly explain everything to you."
Master Titanium seemed anxious and flustered, but he hesitated to speak, as if he didn't know where to start.
Optimus Prime and many high-level Autobots looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces, thinking to themselves, why did you summon us?
Fu Qinghai somewhat understood Master Titanium.
I want to say something, but I dare not say more.
Worry about radically changing the future as a result.
"Dark super energy body."
Master Titanium finally made up his mind and said:
"I know you have been looking...your artificial intelligence, Qingshan, has been looking for what is in the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station. No need to check, let me tell you, that place is used to isolate and store dark super energy bodies. That thing is very Danger, I don’t know how to describe it, let’s put it this way…”
Master Titanium paused and continued:
"The super-energy body we use daily is the energy emitted by Yuanshi Tianzun. The entire Cybertron star is actually the entity left by Yuanshi Tianzun. As a form of it, the super-energy body constitutes each of us and You all understand everything on Cybertron, right?"
"Now? Science popularization time?"
Jazz looked in disbelief.
Police Car patted Jazz on the shoulder:
"Quiet, Sir. If Master Titanium says this, it means it is very important. Just listen carefully."
"If you want to laugh, laugh now. You won't be able to laugh later."
Master Titanium suddenly became furious when he saw Jazz still smiling playfully.
"Think about this possibility. If the super-energy body is the emanated energy of Yuanshi Tianzun, then does the Emperor of the Universe, who can rival him, also have physical remnants? The opposite element of the super-energy body? Yes, the dark super-energy body does exist, and I can say clearly that now the Decepticons have obtained the dark super energy body. I have seen this statement from some ancient historical records: If the Cybertronians use the dark super energy body to charge, then they themselves will eventually will be destroyed!"
Master Titanium paused, looked around at everyone, waiting for them to digest what he said, and then said:
"But not before that."
"Maybe we will be destroyed by them first."
…
Starscream gave in.
Megatron's gladiators rush through the corridors and rooms of the Ironclad Orbital Station, taking control of everything. They strictly abide by orders to maintain the integrity of the orbital station, and at the same time never touch the experimental area or closed area. Those who try to resist are eliminated before they can make inappropriate acts of resistance.
The Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station had already fallen into Megatron's control before it had even orbited Cybertron once.
"You don't know how to manage the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station, and neither does the guy next to you."
Starscream said pointing at Shockwave.
“I tend to practice first and theory second.”
Shockwave's one red eye looked left and right.
"My man is a jack of all trades."
Megatron said noncommittally.
"Then he knows about the dark super energy body?"
Starscream asked rhetorically.
"You'll know after you try it."
Shockwave still had the same tone.
"Choose two, Starscream."
Megatron said, pointing to a group of people.
These Cybertronians are all engineers and scientists at the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station, and they are all Starscream's subordinates. They were all injured and in poor condition at the moment, as if they had just been violently beaten, and they were all imprisoned and lined up against the wall.
"I regret that some violent measures were required to quell the unrest at the Panzeraur Orbital Station."
Shockwave spread his hands and said.
"What's the meaning?"
Starscream looked at Megatron.
"Do you want to test the dark super energy body on yourself? I'll let you choose two, hurry up."
Megatron urged.
Starscream looked at his men, hesitant. Even Megatron wondered if he was pushing him too hard, but eventually, Starscream held out two fingers.
"Okay, take them with you."
Megatron ordered.
…
The container storing the dark super energy body was converted from a laboratory that produces radioactive new element isotopes. It protrudes from the shell of the Panzerkau orbital station.
Two experimental subjects were placed in the dust-free laboratory.
"You have been honorably chosen."
Megatron said to the two experimental subjects. He did not know their names and did not want to ask:
"Not only will you be able to participate in Shockwave's creative transformation project, but you will also be recorded in the history of Cybertron. You will be the first Decepticon members to experience the dark super energy body. This is a privilege. You are very lucky."
Both subjects immediately struggled, trying to make a sound despite being gagged. Shockwave directed the gladiators to drag the two men to the wall and tie them up.
"Don't be afraid. We will only do some simple tests at the beginning to record your vital signs and experimental reactions. Remember, this is scientific research." He said to the two poor guys who were fixed against the wall, "Everything is to win. In this war, you are the pioneers of scientific research.”
Shockwave's tone was relaxed and cheerful. He took out a magnetic blockade box and pulled out a row of block objects. Each block shone with a deep purple light, which was in sharp contrast to the fluorescent blue cube shape of the super energy body.
A subordinate quickly loaded the two experimental subject energy crystals into the warehouse door and opened it. Shockwave skillfully placed the two small pieces into the loading port of the experimental subject.
The effect of the dark super energy body was immediately apparent.
Starscream will never forget that scene:
The two people twitched violently as if they were suddenly hit by an electromagnetic pulse weapon, but they did not have any subsequent symptoms of being hit by an electromagnetic pulse weapon, and they did not appear to be unsteady on their feet. "Papa", they stretched their limbs easily. The ground broke free from its restraints. Megatron's gladiators tried to stop them, but were knocked over by the test subjects.
The Decepticons swarmed up and barely subdued them.
"See that, Starscream?"
Megatron turned his head and asked:
"The dark super energy body makes them stronger, and their will and strength have been greatly improved."
Megatron stood opposite the laboratory and observed the entire process, already impatient. He came to the shelf and picked up a piece of dark super energy despite the sound of the alarm. The energy crystal glowed coldly in his hand. He opened the door of his energy crystal loading compartment and put it in.
"boom--"
There was a loud bang in my mind.
He felt that he had suddenly gained unlimited energy, and every molecule in his body was singing a song of joy and anger - feeling happy because he was filled with powerful power, and feeling angry because he could not immediately carry out atrocities.
Megatron has no innate physical weaknesses or inherent flaws. He has survived to this day because he is physically and mentally stronger than other gladiators in the arena and stronger than his enemies on the battlefield. But the dark super energy body made him feel that before that, his life was just a blind struggle for survival. Until today, he obtained this forbidden energy, and his body and mind finally fully awakened.
Megatron even felt that he could defeat Optimus Prime's entire army now. The dark super energy body made him understand the greatness of destiny, and at the same time he realized how glorious it was to fulfill his mission and join this war.
His hands kept clenching and then unclenching. He was eager to fight. He wanted all the enemies to appear in front of him, so that he could annihilate them all at once, then repair and heal them, and then kill them again.
"ah……"
Megatron raised his head and sighed:
"Optimus Prime, I have a surprise for you...the last surprise."
A piece of dark super energy could not satisfy him, he wanted more.
Megatron looked at the two experimental subjects just now. They had already stood up, with the same hungry look on their faces.
"Yes, this feeling."
Megatron smiled evilly and nodded:
"That's not enough, is it?"
Starscream calmly observed the fusion of the dark super-energy bodies. While carefully guarding against the violent behavior of Megatron and the two experimental subjects, he approached the two leaders of the scientific research team and helped them up. Two experimental subjects just lost control, and these Cybertronian scientists were affected.
"Hot link, bit stream, how many dark super energy bodies are stored here?"
Starscream asked quietly.
"The number is not very large, but it can barely supply a few Decepticon commandos."
Hotlink replied.
"I can hear you two."
Megatron turned around and looked at the three of them:
“Can we produce more?”
With the help of Starscream, Hot Link returned to the computer and brought up the basic particle structure diagram of the super-energy body. Then he opened the basic particle structure diagram of the dark super-energy body.
"look."
Hotlink said, pointing at the display.
"What are you looking at?"
Starscream and Megatron asked in unison.
Hotlink explains:
"In my opinion, any super-energy body can be transformed into a dark super-energy body. What I mean is that super-energy bodies can become black. So if you need more dark super-energy bodies, you must first find more energy crystals. "
This is a big problem, because the super energy bodies produced by Cybertron are greatly reduced, and the huge consumption caused by the war cannot be compensated by natural processes.
"Go get Soundwave!"
Megatron closed his eyes and said in a low voice:
"I need more answers."
…………
1. There is a BUG in the Transformers United Universe that I have never understood: Megatron’s vehicle form in the movie universe and the United Universe is both a fighter jet, but the problem is that according to the setting of the Cybertronian world view, does the transforming vehicle have the ability to fly? This is an excellent talent. If Megatron is born to be able to transform into a fighter, he should become a "noble" searcher instead of a "lowly" miner, so this is very unreasonable. I also tried to explain that if Shockwave gave him the ability to fly...it doesn't make sense - why didn't Shockwave transform all Decepticons into flying? That Autobot even gave a shit.
