[Surfboard: Master, thereâs a strange guy beside that kid, and our people have been taken down.]
Lille runs away when he sees the helicopter, not because itâs equipped like human forces at all.
CH-53E Super Stallion heavy transport helicopter, designed by Sikorsky Company, is the largest helicopter for the Berry military right now.
This thing doesnât appear on battlefields, but in the skies above the university?
This guyâs vehicle form is the Berry militaryâs largest helicopter, and its transformation form is also one of the top among the Decepticons.
Even without a detailed understanding of the plot, Lille could clearly feel the massive spark radiation it emitted in his scanning module...
If Lille had a full set of armor he used to destroy the Space Carrier, he might consider facing it head-on, but with just the metal and energy on him now, how could he confront this thing?
The campus plunged into chaos, and Sam pointed at the armed helicopter in the sky with horror:
"Decepticon!"
Boomââ
A big pickup truck rushed onto the campus, Sam were initially delighted at first glance, thinking it was an Autobot coming to rescue him.
But upon closer examination, it was clear that the driverâs seat of the vehicle was occupied by a robot that looked very human...
It looked very similar to the body Lille used earlier!
Not only that, but there were peculiar mechanical devices attached near the four wheels, like some sort of external mechanical componentsâ
Without a complete industrial production line, Lille couldnât just whip up a standardized Mackinaw Mammoth or other vehicles in a single day.
But the ultra-precise perception system brought by the spark gave him a new method of controlling machinery, enhancing and controlling the structural and posture of the carâs chassis through motor-driven mechanisms.
Lille picked up Sam and jumped into the carâs rear bed while the car engine roared, the posture control mechanism left behind, and Leo anxiously thought heâd been left behind:
"What about me! I havenât gotten in yet!"
[Lille: Take that girl back to the factory, Iâll come find you.]
Boom!
A missile landed directly at the rear of the speeding truck, and the explosion would have flipped ordinary cars, causing a loss of control and speed.
Yet at the precise moment the pickup was lifted, the mechanical components attached to its rear wheels immediately commenced operation, myriad motors intricately drove the chassis and steering gear, even firing securing devices to anchor to the ground.
The vehicle moved forward, the fixing devices tugged the out-of-control rear end with friction and pulling force, providing a brief moment of tension before releasing, causing a sudden drop in speed and inducing a screech of the tires from the intense change.
The structure of the vehicleâs reinforced chassis didnât disassemble or breakdown under the impact but fiercely slammed back to the ground, dashing forward with great speed!
Sam felt as though he had completely lost his sense of awareness, only watching as the world spun wildly around him...
Boom!
The world before him abruptly paused in a scene of everything shattered, launched into the air by massive impact force!
The helicopter pursuing them had landed and transformed into a 16-meter-tall Transformer!
The 16-meter-tall Surfboard stared intently at Lille, who was only human-sized, two seemingly kin yet fundamentally different life forms locked eyes, the former dwelling on his mission, while Lille contemplated other matters:
Transformers, the transformation of such life forms is truly... truly perfect.
From a machinery point of view, it is simply flawless.
Yet for Lille, he wonât tremble, cower, or revere; when facing danger, he approaches problems and responses rationally, even appreciating and learning the transformation process and poses of Surfboard.
This, however, was too shocking for another entity within his mind:
Theyâre about to be smashed into fragments by this damned Transformer!
[Johnny: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
Johnny emitted a scream in Lilleâs head akin to a little girl, and Lille only felt a peculiar wave of emotion surge through him...
Johnny might be scared, but Lille felt excitement!
"Give me that boy!"
Surfboard let out an electronic roar, the propeller cutter on his arm ferociously smashed towards the car, aiming to cut the vehicle right in two!
The pickupâs mechanical devices fired steel cables once again, anchoring to the surrounding structures, executing an extremely sharp super maneuver in mid-air!
The steel cables contracted vigorously under the action of high-power engines, Surfboardâs propeller arm sliced past the truck bed, while Lille leapt high utilizing the force from the pickupâs lift due to impactâ
This body wasnât particularly agile, lacking those dramatic propulsion devices and lethal weapons, but the motorâs power was indeed substantial!
His steely body skimmed past the propeller hand blade, and Surfboardâs substantial frame, from a human perspective, wasnât exactly slow, perhaps even more nimble than Lilleâs downgraded chassis.
But at this exact moment, coupled with the descent from above and the attacking stance, it left him little room to adjust his body to seize Lilleâs nimble figureâ
Lille plunged directly towards his head, his arm bursting with blinding light: this was a regulatory-grade high-temperature cutting laser!
After his optimization, the energy stored in the device explodes comprehensively at once. The ultra-high energy laser approaching 30,000 watts is brewing in the arm, and the operating temperature of the device even starts to melt the power supply pipeline, causing his entire arm to emit a red glow!
"Let me test your quality!"
Sczzââ
The laser, like a lightsaber, was slammed by Lille into the neck of the rotor, followed by the rapid expansion of metal, liquid, and gas under high temperature, violently gushing within the melted chamber, with stress-induced intense changes constantly releasing micro-cracks...
The ultra-high temperature of over 6000 degrees Celsius makes the metal wail!
But Lilleâs arm makes the same sound!
He immediately jumped out of the destruction shell, with the carrier losing control and all limbs completely locking the surfboardâs body, the latter letting out a thunderous roar in pain!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The surfboard reached out to grab Lille, but the destruction shellâs body was also fully overloaded!
Boom!
Lille jumps back into the car, watching the surfboard covered in explosion.
The car just stabilized, and Sam shouted in excitement: "Thatâs awesome dude! You took him down?!"
[Johnny: You took him down?!!!]
"Youâre dreaming!"
Woosh!
The surfboardâs head rushed out from the explosive fireball and black smoke, with the neck of this head blown into a dark pit, sparks flying, engine oil flowing...
But relative to his sixteen-meter-tall body, this level of explosion will injure him, causing pain, but thatâs about it; it wonât make him lose his combat capability!
Heâs a lifeform, sure, but heâs a mechanical lifeform!
[Johnny: Hurry up and run!]
Sam: "Quick, think of something!"
Just as the words fell, two giant tanker trucks suddenly rushed out at the crossroad!
Having just recovered from the attack, the surfboard focused its attention immediately on Lille, this strange and damned ant, and by the time it notices the tanker trucks rushing out, the vehicles are already at his feet!
Bangââ
The tanker truck crashed harshly against the surfboardâs foot, and in the compression, the detonator attached to the tanker activated.
Boom!
The shock wave instantly blasts the surfboard away, and a massive mushroom cloud rises toward the sky!
To humans, things of this size, the explosion of a tanker truck at close range looks like the end of the world.
Lille indeed couldnât get hold of high-energy explosives, but after hacking into the network, he found two fully loaded tankers and used a robot to steal them, placing over four tons of gasoline in the right position for a spectacular dump truck combo plus version, completely feasible.
With 44,000 kilograms of gasoline, the potential explosive power theoretically equals 500 tons of TNT.
However, this is "potential explosive power", as gasoline explosively oxidizes and needs oxygen, without other auxiliary designs, the expected power of this gasoline explosion is only around 100 tons of TNT...
But itâs not a small number either.
Thick black smoke, raging flames, pickup trucks fleeing in the chaotic city, Sam and Johnny are speechless for a long time watching this explosion...
Tap tap tap tapââ
The airflow blows away black smoke, and that super stallion helicopter is still operational!
The good news is, the explosion indeed caused considerable damage to the surfboard, with its metal all torn and tattered, gasoline burning fiercely on the body, and its flying posture swaying.
If it were an ordinary super stallion helicopter, this level of damage surely wouldnât be able to fly anymore, but this is a Transformer.
In terms of strength, supporting a sixteen-meter-tall super robot flexibly in combat shapes close to humans, the metal strength is unknown how high.
This level of explosion certainly isnât a superficial wound, but it wouldnât completely defeat him.
This is not the worst thing:
In the sky, an F16 Fighting Falcon jet roars in, and above it, a fighter moving at high speed with no earthly design!
More Decepticons...
[Sczzââ]
Lille finally receives the message he wants to hear.
[Optimus Prime: Iâm Optimus Prime. Decepticons are launching attacks in multiple locations, where is Sam?]
[Lille: Better come quickly!]
