America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 354, Section 352: Eric's First Acting Experience

The MGM-produced Transformers sequel is completely different from the original; it's an adaptation of "The Prime."

The excellence of this work goes without saying; it has received a very high rating.

"The Leader's Proof" is a work from 2010 and has not yet been released, so even veteran fans have no idea what will happen next.

However, the many newly introduced Transformers are still quite eye-catching, especially Arcee, who gets a lot of screen time.

With humans beginning to conduct secret research, the situation becomes even more chaotic and unclear, making the plot much more complex than the first film.

Nearly 40 minutes into the movie, the remnants of the Decepticons suffered another crushing defeat.

Red Spider has vanished without a trace, his underlings have been killed or captured alive—it's a truly tragic situation.

Having narrowly escaped death, Soundwave pinned all his hopes on finding Megatron, and finally, Scalpel and Mechanical Bug brought good news.

Megatron's body was dumped deep in the Mariana Trench, and then the scene shifted to the Pacific Ocean.

After searching for a long time on the seabed, the sound waves finally found their leader.

Looking at the tattered and broken Megatron, he didn't know what to do or if there was any hope of resurrection. He could only take the body away first, hoping it would be a last resort.

As a result, upon coming into contact with Megatron, the energy within his body suddenly began to leak out.

Megatron not only absorbed his power, but also continuously emitted a dark energy aura around his body until he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Soundwave, you're all alone!"

"It took you so long to wake me up. You're just like that guy Red Spider, disappointing me."

As Megatron's powerful, mechanical voice rang out, cheers erupted in the movie theater.

Although Bedford had a short appearance in the first movie, his appearance was eye-catching. To be honest, airplanes are cooler than trucks.

Moreover, he is very popular because he makes witty remarks offline, and has millions of fans on Facebook.

When Eric later built his own amusement park, he followed the example of Universal Studios and used it as the flagship.

"Dear customer, please buy a bed while you're gone, Red Spider."

Soundwave recounted Xiaohong's actions, which made Megatron clench his fists in anger.

I know you have ambitions to be the leader, and I don't care, but you've led the team to ruin, which is unforgivable!

"I will find him, and I will make the Autobots pay the price and take back the AllSpark."

"Then we'll exterminate humanity and transform Earth into another Cybertron. They'll have to pay a price for the technology they obtained from me!"

"But Megatron, we have no army left."

Megatron picked up a black stone: "No need, I've gained new power."

"Although I don't know why Earth is hiding this power, it's enough for me to defeat Optimus Prime."

As he spoke, the surrounding black energy converged on him, and his originally damaged mechanical body was instantly repaired by rocks, restoring him to its original state.

Soundwave's eyes glowed red. As the Decepticon's intelligence officer, he knew a lot, but this scene was still beyond his comprehension.

Meanwhile, the Autobots located and raided the Decepticons' stronghold.

Unfortunately, the place was deserted, and no trace of the jazz could be found.

With no other option, they could only hope to capture another Decepticon and extract information about Jazz from him.

But no one had any hope left; everyone knew that the Jazz were most likely dead.

The remaining Decepticons who fled must bear the wrath and can only hide as much as possible.

In the mountains of Alaska, the Decepticon Superquad was ambushed and killed by the Autobots and Lieutenant Colonel William.

On the icy plains of Siberia, the Decepticon Hyperion was also found and captured by the Autobots.

"Quickly, tell me, where is Jazz?" Ironhide asked, pointing his energy cannon at Hazard's head.

But Haunted Wing had no idea what the other party was talking about: "I've said it many times, if it weren't for that idiot Starscream lying to us, the Decepticons wouldn't have attacked you on their own initiative."

Fearing that Tinker might accidentally blow the other person's head off, Sam and Michaela quickly tried to dissuade him.

"He's being stubborn now, but he'll talk after being locked up for a while."

"We have a profession called animal tamer. No matter how ferocious the beast, even a lion or a tiger, it can eventually be tamed."

At that moment, upon receiving Arcee's communication, Optimus Prime's tone suddenly changed: "You mean Megatron! Megatron has appeared?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

Even Dreadwing, a Decepticon, couldn't believe it: "Buy a bed."

After hanging up the call, Optimus Prime said in a serious tone, "Autobots, bad news. Megatron has suddenly appeared in Los Angeles. We must go back immediately."

"Megatron? Am I hearing things? Or did you mishear? Wasn't that guy killed?"

Sam was somewhat incoherent, as the terrifying memory of being relentlessly chased by Megatron in Las Vegas came flooding back.

Before he could finish speaking, Lieutenant Colonel William called.

There's no doubt now, Megatron really has returned.

On the contrary, the female lead, Mikan, remained calm and turned to look at Bumblebee: "Comrade, it seems we'll be fighting side by side again."

"It would be my pleasure, madam."

The scene then shifts to Los Angeles, exactly one hour into the movie.

Some audience members checked the time and realized something was wrong.

"Isn't this final battle coming a little too early? There's still more than an hour left in the movie."

"Wouldn't that be even better? I love watching Transformers clash head-on, metal lumps hammering each other. It would definitely be more exciting than the first one."

"But this is not normal. A final battle lasting more than an hour would have too high a cost for special effects. MGM can't afford to spend that much money."

"Isn't there still that mysterious unit, and Black Widow hasn't shown up yet?"

"In short, the trailer doesn't reveal anything, and we might just get picked off by that mysterious unit again."

"This is normal; it's in line with the formula for commercial films for an artificial superhero to become the final boss."

"Have you seen Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla? It's about Mechagodzilla going out of control and becoming the big boss. Anyway, once humanity develops technology that surpasses its own, the outcome is never good."

"Just wait and see, the fight's about to start, the fight's finally here!"

In the scene, Megatron stands atop a tall building, raising his arm to deliver a declaration.

"Decepticons, your leader has returned, and I now proclaim this to the world."

"All Decepticons who have heard the call, come to my side!"

After saying that, his arm deformed, and a telescopic energy cannon was fired, with a thick laser beam stretching across the sky.

The commotion drew the attention of all the passersby.

Immediately afterwards, a neutrino missile landed on the street, and Los Angeles was instantly engulfed in flames.

At this moment, the camera flashes across the MGM Grand building and finally settles on a floor-to-ceiling window.

Eric was standing there in a suit when his cup clattered to the ground.

"What the hell!"
