Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 164 This is... a case of shared suffering?

Broken Bone, along with his two Mini-Men, Roc and Arrow Warrior, infiltrated the vicinity of the junkyard. This time, they were under the command of Steel Claw to release prisoners and, if possible, capture the Autobot Mini-Men.

They noticed Russell's friend coming to see him; it was a little girl carrying a football. Coincidentally, Broken Bones used this to his advantage, allowing the Sword Warrior to use optics to change his appearance.

After Russell's friend left, Broken Bone sent Flying Sword Warrior to use the same trick to deceive Russell, successfully gaining access to the junkyard and kidnapping him.

Having a hostage made things much easier. Danny wanted to come up and rescue his son, but when he saw his son being held captive, he couldn't get forward.

After successfully entering, they ordered Dapeng to release the prisoners. Mini Kong received the order and ran directly towards the hibernation pod. This time, they chose to destroy the hibernation pod directly.

They carefully reviewed the last failed release. They all fell out of the hibernation pods. They were fine when they came out even though the hibernation pods were damaged. How could it be as serious as the Black-Faced God had said before?

Da Peng first chose the major sanction; he had worked with Gang Qian before, so he was capable of doing odd jobs...

"Hiss—" The hibernation pod was destroyed. After a burst of black smoke from the circuit section, a hissing sound was heard, and cold white vapor continued to emerge from the hibernation pod's hatch, revealing the familiar crab-shaped Decepticon figure inside.

However, after waking up, Da Sanction was clearly not quite right. When he saw the mini-King Kong with broken bones, he was stunned for a moment. Da Peng thought that the other party had just ended his hibernation and had not yet reacted, so he urged the other party to come out quickly and help release the other prisoners.

"No!! I won't go out!!" Da Sanction shouted, trembling violently after discovering that the hibernation pod had been opened, which left Da Peng completely bewildered.

"Hurry up! There are still a lot of Decepticons that haven't been released yet!" Dapeng shouted, trying to pull on the legs of the Great Punisher, but the Mini Kong was too small, and the Great Punisher's two crab claws were tightly holding on both sides, so it refused to come out no matter what.

What triggered this?

Da Peng looked at him with suspicion. Just as he was about to go directly to Duan Gu to bring out Da Sanction, he saw that something had happened to Duan Gu.

A familiar, tall figure appeared in the junkyard; he recognized the machine... it was Optimus Prime!

He rubbed his optical glasses uncertainly, making sure he wasn't seeing things. He remembered that Optimus Prime was dead, wasn't he?

Confused, he immediately ran back to the vicinity of the other hibernation pods. Broken Bone and Flying Sword Warrior had already been knocked unconscious by Optimus Prime, so going up now would only be suicide, and escape would be difficult.

Dapeng glanced at the Great Sanction still trembling in its broken hibernation pod, shook its head, and went straight to look for the other hibernation pods, looking for one with wings... a winged one...

He immediately spotted a mechanical bat and began to release it...

-

"Are you Danny Russell?" Optimus Prime slowly knelt down, lowering his body to make it easier to talk to the two humans and the mini-King Kong.

Optimus Prime received training from several Celestials, and while absorbing their energy, he also successfully 'rose from the ashes'.

Their appearance had changed somewhat, and Russell and the others almost didn't recognize them; their voices were also different.

Optimus Prime, realizing he couldn't see Bumblebee around, asked about his location. Blackface started locating him, and no one noticed that Roc was grabbing Nightraise's foot, while Nightraise spread his wings and flew out of the junkyard's wall.

They originally intended to forcibly bring out the Great Sanctions, but the Great Sanctions threatened that if they tried to pull him out again, he would shout. In the end, they had no choice but to give up. Watching the scrap yard gradually disappear into the distance, Da Peng continued to try to make empty promises to Night Raid.

They didn't know what was going on with the sanctions, or what terrible things were happening outside. Why were they so resistant?

Still puzzled, Dapeng pointed out the direction to Yexi and flew towards the steel pincers.

As for the Great Sanction, before Optimus Prime went to meet up with Bumblebee, Blackface took the opportunity to release Sideswipe from hibernation. Seeing Sideswipe groggily get up, looking a little better than in the morning, Blackface and Sideswipe went to capture Broken Bones and Sword Warrior and bring them back to their hibernation pods.

When they discovered that one of the mini-Giant Rocs was missing, they told Optimus Prime, who then helped search for it in the junkyard after thinking for a while.

They just couldn't find the last Mini-King anywhere...

Puzzled, they searched the hibernation pods and found that two of them were broken, indicating that two prisoners had escaped. They were about to investigate which two prisoners had escaped when they discovered that the Great Sanction had somehow stayed behind.

The Great Sanctions trembled in fear inside the damaged hibernation pod, refusing to take a single step.

Sideswipe recalled that during the Great Sanctions, Rosa brought him back alone, and before that, there had been two instances of Decepticon signals disappearing...

However, everyone was startled by something else at the time and their attention was diverted, so no one thought about it in detail afterward. Now, seeing the state of the sanctions, the sidewalkers can guess what's going on.

Could the massive sanctions be a result of something they've seen, which is why they're so fearful?

Then, recalling the Octopod that had become a clawless monster and the Terrifying Howl that had lost its tail, these Decepticons, all crippled and filled with extreme fear upon their return, were brought back by Rosa alone...

She... is she a member of the Leader's Guard?

Sideswipe instinctively glanced in Optimus Prime's direction. Did they know about this? Did they know Rosa could use the food machine...?

If Decepticons are already eating prisoners these days, what would Rosa be like during the war?

Hengpao was startled by his own thoughts, and goosebumps rose all over his body. In an instant, he felt extremely cold.

The Great Sanctions stared blankly at the bright red-painted Autobot Sideswipe before him, noticing his fearful expression. Then, it suddenly seemed to be slightly startled...

“I…I’ll take you to another hibernation pod.” The goosebumps on Sideswipe’s body hadn’t gone away yet, and the cold feeling still lingered around him. Realizing that Grand Sanction felt safer in the hibernation pod, Sideswipe immediately guided Grand Sanction to another hibernation pod.

Hearing about the severe punishment, he was skeptical, after all, according to what the monster had said before, she might find a way to take her out of the junkyard... and then...

The Great Sanction shuddered at the thought, feeling a chill run down his spine at the image of the monster devouring people. Meanwhile, Sideswipe, seeing this, thought for a moment and moved another hibernation pod in front of the Great Sanction's broken hibernation pod.

The intact hibernation pod was opened and placed in front of the Great Sanction. The Great Sanction hesitated before stepping inside. Watching the hibernation pod close in front of him, the Great Sanction finally released the core and said thank you to Sideswipe.

After Sideswipe confirmed that everything was fine, he informed Blackface about the hibernation pod that had been replaced for Big Sanction and the number of the other damaged hibernation pod. He learned that the Decepticon prisoner who had been released was named Nightraise.

This is the flying Decepticon; the one that gave them nightmares when it captured them.

Judging that Dapeng had already been taken away from the junkyard and was probably impossible to catch now, he prepared to go and meet up with Bumblebee and the others.

What was Sideswipe thinking on the road? Since Rosa was recognized by the other members of the Leader's Guard... and even had a statue...

Does that mean she won't harm the Autobots? After all, if she ate the Autobots, she would have been considered an enemy long ago, not a member of the Leader's Guard.

Sideswipe was a little stunned. Although the shadow of witnessing the food machine still lingered, its core condition had improved after hibernation, and with the conjecture that served as temporary comfort, the machine's overall condition had recovered considerably.

But what exactly does the lieutenant like about Rosa...? She has a food machine, does she really not eat Autobots?
