America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 353, Section 351: The Decepticon in Human Skin

"Sam, I'm having a party at my house tonight, come over and join us!"

"Uh, I'll let it go this time. I still have to work."

"Hey bro, what's wrong with you lately? You seem to be struggling financially."

"Because I'm a university student now, I have to pay for my own tuition. Unlike your family, which is so wealthy, my parents didn't save any money for my education."

After making up an excuse to decline his classmate's invitation, Sam, played by Kris Evans, quickly left the campus and darted into Bumblebee.

In the driver's seat, Gal Gadot, playing the female lead Mikaela, sat.

"You're ten minutes late," Michaela said playfully.

"No, to be precise, it should be ten minutes and thirty-four seconds," the car said in a mechanically magnetic voice.

"I'm being pestered by that idiot roommate, so all I can say is that I need to work to earn money."

"That reason works. We are indeed working, but we work for the Autobots and the government. Let's go save the world! Let's go!"

Bumblebee roared to life, carrying the two of them at breakneck speed, and then began to accelerate at super speed after leaving the city.

They soon arrived at the Autobots' secret base hidden in the mountains.

Unlike human architecture, the style here leans more towards Cybertronian science fiction, created by the team using real-life sets and special effects.

The Autobots who appeared in the first movie gradually reappeared, including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Ironhide.

New characters have also appeared, including Brake, Mudguard, Sideswipe, and the female Autobots Arcee and Alita.

The general background has been clearly explained in the first ten minutes.

More than a year has passed since the last battle in Las Vegas. Due to the damage to the AllSpark, the Autobots are temporarily unable to leave Earth.

Furthermore, the Decepticons scattered and fled. Although Megatron was killed, the threat still exists, and these guys still occasionally come out to cause trouble.

So the Autobots and the government decided to cooperate: the Autobots would help humans carry out missions, and the humans would provide the Autobots with the things they needed to repair the AllSpark.

During this time, Optimus Prime was also recruiting Autobots from the exiled universe, and several new underlings joined during this period.

Sam and Michaela, as trustworthy individuals, are allowed access to the Autobots' base and assist in some missions; they are both growing and maturing.

Captain William was promoted to lieutenant colonel for his outstanding performance in the Battle of the Capital, and a special unit was formed to be responsible for joint operations with the Autobots.

"Wow! Dad, it's a female Autobot!"

In the movie theater, a little girl stared intently at Arcee and said...

"Her name is Arcee Baby, she's very pretty, isn't she?"

"Yes, she's pink and looks like a giant Barbie doll."

"Hehe. It's a Barbie doll that can fire cannons."

"Buy me one, Dad."

"You can buy it, but Helen, if you buy Arcee, you can't buy Barbie, okay?"

"Then let's add Alita too. I don't want Arcee to be too lonely."

"Deal, baby."

The father and daughter reached an agreement instantly. The father thought to himself, "I can play with the Barbie dolls anyway, and I can't play with them. It's obvious which one is more worthwhile."

As for why a grown man would play with a female Transformer?

It's none of your business!

I think Arcee is pretty and has delicate features; she's much prettier than the fat woman next door.

On the big screen, Tinker reports that Sir John hasn't returned and he's a little worried.

At this moment, Colonel William also sent a message saying that the troops they had sent out to work with the knight had also lost contact.

So the two sides went to the mission location together, but only found traces of battle around them, and the people were nowhere to be found.

"I detected Decepticon weapon traces," the ambulance said.

"Who is it?" William asked hurriedly.

"I can't specify an individual; I need more concrete information."

"So, the Jazz might be in trouble?" Sam and Michaela asked with concern.

Optimus Prime carefully examined the charred area: "We can't draw any conclusions yet. At least judging from the traces at the scene, the intensity of the battle wasn't particularly high."

"Jazz is an experienced warrior; he won't die so easily."

"Optimus Prime, we need to mobilize all resources and search for the Decepticons with all our might," Arcee suggested.

Pillar looked at William: "Lieutenant Colonel, we hope to mobilize the satellite system and utilize Cybertronian technology to find the Decepticons as quickly as possible."

"Leave it to me, I will apply to the Ministry of National Defense."

The scene shifts to the Decepticons' base, where Starscream, the honorary Autobot, is giving a passionate speech.

Since Megatron was killed, Little Red, the Decepticon vice commander, has been extremely excited.

We traveled across mountains and rivers to save you from Earth, but you failed us and died. Don't blame me for taking your place.

Although he believed he should become the new leader of the Decepticons, the other Decepticons did not agree.

Soundwave, along with a group of henchmen, divided and conquered him, determined to resurrect Megatron.

"I know you're not convinced by my leadership, but I'll soon prove to you who the true leader of the Decepticons is."

"What do you want, Red Spider?"

Starscream's voice turned cold and despicable: "I will lead you to wipe out the Autobots! What Megatron couldn't do, I can!"

"You? You don't even know where they're hiding."

"That was then. Now I know. I've found my position. All we need to do is surprise them, and we can definitely defeat the Autobots."

Seeing the confident Red Spider, Soundwave was skeptical: "Red Spider, how did you find it?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own way of doing things. The opportunity is right in front of us. As long as we eliminate the Autobots, we can take back the AllSpark and then take over Earth."

Subsequently, a group of Decepticons, led by Starscream, launched a surprise attack on the Autobots' base.

However, since the Autobots had temporarily shared technology with humans and used the eyes of global satellites, they turned the tables and caught the humans in a trap.

Even Sam and Michaela joined the battle, piloting the Jaeger that the Autobots had specially built for them.

Half an hour into the movie, a massive, adrenaline-pumping battle unfolds.

The Decepticons, caught in the trap, fled in panic, and several of their underlings were killed on the spot.

On their escape, Soundwave and Knockout were ambushed by a mysterious force.

Although both were severely injured, they still held the advantage against humans.

Just as they were about to break through the encirclement, Black Widow descended from the sky, captured and knocked down.

The sound wave could only continue its escape, and it didn't even dare to return to the base.

After taking them down and away, this mysterious unit revealed its true form.

Leader Leland Bishop, a former high-ranking government official, became obsessed with Transformers after the Battle of Las Vegas.

Then they reached a secret cooperation agreement with Black Widow, a former Decepticon member who came to Earth.

Black Widow helps him capture Autobots and Decepticons for research, and in return, he helps Black Widow obtain the AllSpark.

As a former high-ranking government official, with the help of an insider, it was incredibly easy for Leland to orchestrate all of this.

He first captured the Jazz, and now he has used the combined firepower of the two factions to capture and defeat him. Everything is proceeding according to his plan.

"I told you, I would help you catch a Decepticon."

"Great, but next you need to help me deconstruct Cybertronian technology and create new Transformers."

"No problem, but don't forget your promise."

Leland glanced at Black Widow expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I knew exactly what I was supposed to do from the beginning!"

If Sam and Michaela support the Autobots, then Leland and Black Widow are purely driven by their own ulterior motives and exploit each other.

Retracting her spider legs, Black Widow said coldly, "Compared to us, you're nothing more than a Decepticon in human skin!"
