After careful inspection, Sun Cheng finally confirmed that the so-called humanoid Decepticon named "Mora Kottir" was just a poor imitation with no substance.
It was obvious that the research of the humanoid Decepticons by Mirage and Atlas was still at a standstill!
No, more accurately, they had only moved forward a tiny bit.
The reason why Decepticons and Autobots could be called mechanical life forms instead of robots was because, like humans with basic life units called cells, they also had billions of ultra-small units called "gears" in their bodies that were highly malleable and plastic according to the Cybertronians.
These gears, which were as small as tens of nanometers, were the key to the transformation of mechanical life forms, and they gave them unlimited possibilities.
Gears allowed mechanical life forms to scan target objects, reference the data of the target in a very short time, completely change their mechanical body, transform into the target, and even master all of the target's abilities, and even further optimize them.
The benefits were obvious. Humans often needed years of hard training to master a certain skill, especially one that enhanced their physical abilities. However, mechanical life forms could complete this process in just a few seconds.
It was the gears that gave mechanical life forms this ability, but it was not perfect.
Just like mechanical life forms had differences in strength and rank, the gears inside each Mechanical Life Form were not exactly the same.
Most mechanical life forms only had one chance in their lifetime to scan an object and transform themselves into that target because once it was determined, the gears in their bodies would solidify like they were rapidly fixed during the transformation process. Unless they changed to a new mechanical body, they could only maintain one form of transformation throughout their life.
This category included most advanced warriors.
However, advanced warriors clearly had more choices than low-level warriors, although most advanced warriors could only have one transformation form at a time. They could forcibly release their current transformation form at the cost of consuming a large amount of energy to regain the opportunity to scan the target object and transform again.
However, in general, most advanced warriors would not make this choice.
Because just like human surgery, the process of forcibly destroying the gears that had already solidified in their bodies was not a good experience.
Sun Cheng had experienced it once before, and he had no desire to do it again. He could only say that he was ignorant and lucky at that time, because based on the attack he was given and the Spark inside his body, he was far from reaching the level of an advanced warrior.
But perhaps it was because of his close contact with the All Spark that he successfully completed the scan and changed his transformation form to a Reaper Drone.
As for how the gears were produced, even the Decepticon engineers could not say for sure.
They could manufacture all kinds of mechanical bodies, powerful warriors, engineering soldiers capable of performing any job, and medical spiders capable of treating most wounded soldiers, but they did not have the ability to give life like Starscream.
The only thing Sun Cheng currently had that could give life to Decepticons was the All Spark fragments he obtained in Las Vegas.
Not only did Base 2 need it to cultivate new Decepticons, but all Decepticons, including Sun Cheng, had to receive the energy baptism of the "All Spark fragments" when changing mechanical bodies. The stronger the mechanical body they changed to, the longer they needed to receive the "All Spark baptism", otherwise, the basic unit of "gears" could not be born in their bodies.
Without gears, Cybertronians could only be considered intelligent robots at best.
When inspecting Mora Kottir's body just now, Sun Cheng discovered the secret of his body.
"Mora Kottir" was born with "gears" in his body under the energy radiation of the "All Spark fragments" like most low-level Decepticon soldiers, but his gears had completely solidified!
In other words, "Mora Kottir" was no different from the other soldiers cultivated in the base. He was just a humanoid robot that had been forcibly locked into his current state by scanning and transforming, rather than being born in humanoid form.
This method was obviously a shortcut and doomed the mechanical life form's transformation potential.
However, Sun Cheng was not too disappointed.
Although Mora did not meet his expectations, at least for now, he needed a group of Decepticons like him to serve his expansion strategy.
This was true for both the Transformers Universe and the real world.
After all, Sun Cheng was not a person from the Transformers Universe, and he did not have any sense of identification with this world.
The reason why Sun Cheng continued to stay here was that he had already gained a lot of benefits from the Transformers Universe, and his ambition had been aroused.
Driven by greed, he was frantically harvesting the technology of this world.
Not only the technology of Cybertron Planet, but also the advanced military and civilian technology on Earth.
Of course, there was another important reason. Sun Cheng still had not figured out what had happened to him.
Fear of the unknown!
This was also one of the reasons why Sun Cheng knew that the Transformers Universe was very dangerous, but still stubbornly stayed here.
With his identity as Frenzy in this world, he could still use various means to coerce, lure, and absorb a group of Decepticons for his own use, quickly helping him establish and expand his power.
But in the real world, he was just an ordinary Earthling.
His weak body made Sun Cheng powerless in front of mechanical life forms like Decepticons and Autobots.
Therefore, even if he knew that he only needed to bring a small number of Decepticons back to the real world to rapidly increase his power, the unique appearance of Decepticons meant that they would immediately be targeted by countries around the world if exposed.
This was why he had been pushing for research on humanoid Decepticons for a long time!
Some strong impulses came to his mind, but Sun Cheng forcibly suppressed them.
He knew that it was not time to leave yet. There were still too many resources and technologies waiting for him to harvest here.
Moreover, recent changes in the real world made Sun Cheng increasingly unable to understand what was going on in the world.
Therefore, no matter how much he missed the real world, he had to stay here for now and do his best to expand his power and control.
With this in mind, Sun Cheng couldn't help but look up at the position of the moon in the sky.
The imminent sense of crisis finally made him unable to resist starting his own action.
At this point, he looked down at the two subordinates who had been quietly waiting by his side for a long time and said, "I can't stay here for too long. I will soon return to Russia... Accel, you are responsible for all the actions of the base in Bolivia. So, how is the situation with the cleanup in Tiwanaku now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Cheng looked at him with a piercing gaze.
