American Comic Dimensional Trading Device

However, Josie quickly understood. Transformers' forms aren't static; they can be adjusted based on scanning their vehicles. In the movies, Shockwave's image became even more evil, didn't it? Soundwave was in satellite form in the first movie, and later even in Mercedes sports car form.

So, Starscream's current appearance isn't entirely unacceptable...

Damn, I still can't accept it.

“Speaking of Red Spider, your current form should be your most primitive form, right?” Josie asked.

“That’s right. If it’s time for combat, I can scan Cybertronian fighters and transform at any time. But when there’s no war, I prefer to use this original form. In fact, most of us Transformers are like this. Is there a problem?” Starscream nodded.

"No problem, it's just that I feel your original forms lack a bit of domineering presence. Also, I have to remind you that vibranium is not easy to reshape, so you should choose a better transformation form before using it." Josie shook her head, not dwelling on the topic too much, just offering a slight reminder.

“Of course I will. The items are ready, and we can trade!” Red Spider wasn’t interested in asking any more questions, because at this moment the henchman had already brought a very large storage device as requested.

“We’ve been to Earth, so we know some of Earth’s languages. Therefore, I had someone compile all the information based on the information recently sent by our agents from Earth, using French, the language most widely used by humans on Earth in the early 19th century. Here is a list of all the information. What do you think?” Red Spider said, placing a list of information and a storage device on the trading device.

In the Transformers universe, Cybertron made contact with Earth very early on for various reasons, but it wasn't always like that.

Because of the war, the Decepticons haven't paid attention to Earth for a long time, so it's not surprising that there's an information gap of over a hundred years.

On the contrary, Josie quite appreciated Red Spider's meticulous approach, but he didn't ask Red Spider to translate.

No wonder this guy is so ambitious, but Megatron has never been willing to kill him. Not only is he strong, but he also does a good job with details. He is indeed very suitable to be an adjutant.

“Of course, no problem! Let’s make the deal!” Josie glanced at the list of documents and was very satisfied, so she also put up twenty cans of vibranium—the kind of containers that appeared in the movies Black Panther and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

"Wait, is this all the vibranium? Isn't that a bit too little?" Starscream was immediately dissatisfied with the amount of vibranium Josie had provided.

"Oh? How many do you want?" Josie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Twenty cans of vibranium are indeed not a lot; they're only enough to make a few shields or to coat the red spider in front of us.

"What I'm giving you is Cybertron's most advanced technology. Many of these technologies are extremely rare in the entire universe. Based on this unit, it should be at least ten thousand copies!" Starscream pointed at the vibranium container in the trading box, his electronic eyes darting around as he made an exorbitant demand.

Ten thousand points of vibranium are not only enough for him to coat, but also to build an external armor, or even to assemble an invincible army.

"...Has anyone ever told you that your eyes dart around when you're not telling the truth?" Josie couldn't help but laugh in exasperation at Red Spider's words.

Indeed, in terms of relative value, Cybertron's technology is certainly worth the price Starscream is asking for.

But let's not forget that Josie is now the one who holds the dominant position in terms of information and the initiative in transactions.

Is Cybertronian technology important to Josie? It is indeed important, but it is by no means irreplaceable.

Because in the Marvel Universe, there are civilizations that are on a higher level than Cybertron, such as the Kree Empire.

Future traders will also have the opportunity to connect to higher-level planes of Cyborg.

In contrast, vibranium, a nearly non-renewable resource whose true origin is still uncertain, is actually more valuable.

Given this, Josie naturally wouldn't waste too much vibranium on technological data that might be obtained through other means in the future.

And what about Starscream? If he wants vibranium, the AllSpark, the Matrix of Leadership, and other such things, can he do without Josie?

It might be possible, but the difficulty is unknown.

So who gave you the audacity to haggle with me and make such exorbitant demands?

Josie said that Red Spider's mentality must be dealt with decisively, otherwise this guy really doesn't know what's good for him.

So he immediately closed the deal.

When the screen went completely black, Starscream was dumbfounded.

No, this doesn't even allow people to bargain?

I'm asking for an exorbitant price, but you can try to negotiate it down on the spot.

And what did this human say again? That their eyes dart around when they lie?

Damn, no wonder my plans never seem to escape the notice of Megatron, Soundwave, and Shockwave.

So that's where the problem lies. I guess I need to be more careful in the future.

However, now is not the time to think about that. Getting vibranium is the most important thing. With vibranium, Starscream is confident that he can easily defeat Shockwave and Soundwave, and then he will be able to completely control the Decepticon army.

Once he obtains the AllSpark, he will be able to truly rule Cybertron and become the true Starscream Emperor.

As for the Fallen? Hmph, that depends on whether the Module Leader and the Scepter of the Life God that this alien being spoke of actually exist.

For the sake of his bright future, Red Spider had no choice but to swallow his pride and start frantically tagging Josie.

Meanwhile, after shutting down the interdimensional communication, Josie leisurely left the study to go see his wife and children.

In his view, Red Spider was the kind of person who never learns from mistakes and needed to be taught a profound lesson to make him remember. Therefore, Josie completely ignored Red Spider's communication requests and decided to leave him hanging for a few more days.

It would be even better if Starscream didn't know what was good for him, since he's going to die sooner or later anyway, although that might take decades—after all, according to the information we have now, Earth in the Transformers universe should only be in the 1980s.

But Josie didn't care at all; her universe was still more than seventy years away from the superhero era.

"Daddy, Carol is bullying me!" As soon as Josie stepped out of the main building of the castle, he saw Carol pinning his brother Mike to the ground on the lawn not far away. When Mike saw Josie arrive, he hurriedly cried for help.

Unfortunately, Mike chose the wrong person to call for help. Josie just glanced at them, then looked up at the sky, pretending not to see them.

Despite the situation appearing to be Carroll bullying Mike, Josh knew very well that Mike had definitely provoked Carroll first.

As the two children grow older, their different personalities begin to emerge.

Both siblings are exceptionally intelligent, but the brother is more mischievous and active, while the sister is relatively quiet.

But this is just an appearance. Carol may seem quiet and gentle, but you have to be careful not to make her angry. Otherwise, if she gets angry, Mike will suffer the same fate.

Unfortunately, Mike's favorite thing to do is to make his sister angry. Every time he gets "beaten up" by his sister, he still enjoys it.

So Josie was used to this kind of scene and just pretended not to see it.

"Carol! Mike! You're fighting again!" Joe pretended not to see it, but Margot didn't. Margot, who had just come out for a stroll after putting Ben to sleep, immediately got angry when she saw the two little mud monkeys on the grass.

Carter was with her—Carter was there not because Josie invited him, but because Margot had.

Although Margot was born into wealth, she actually disliked the pretentiousness and backstabbing of high society. Before meeting Josie, she was a complete homebody with very few close friends.

Therefore, she admired Carter's straightforward personality, and the two gradually became best friends after Josie and Margot's wedding.

Basically, when Carter wasn't on a mission, Margot would invite him to her house for a visit.

Soon the two little ones were pulled aside by Margot and given a lecture.

However, she wasn't angry because Carol pinned Mike to the ground, but simply because of the fight itself.

Although it is not entirely certain yet, the future of the two children has generally been planned.

That is, Carole is highly likely to become the first candidate for the future Queen of the United Kingdom of Austria—even though this so-called United Kingdom is still a long way off due to various factors.

Mike will become Josie's first in line to the rank of Earl of Sulawesi.

Of course, whether or not these two children should really go down this path depends on their own wishes when they grow up.

Josie is a very open-minded father, especially now that he and Margot are not worried about their lifespan at all, and it doesn't matter whether the children want to inherit the family business.

Otherwise, forcing them down this path might just ruin their family business.

However, while she didn't force them to inherit the family business, it didn't stop Margot from being strict with her two children from a young age.

Especially given that Josie, as the father, had absolutely no sense of discipline—

“What adorable kids! They remind me of my brother and me!” While Margot was scolding the two children, Carter went over to Josie and struck up a conversation with him.

“Now that you mention it, it’s true. Speaking of which, Mike and your brother even share the same name.” Josie smiled slightly upon hearing this, then joked, “But the difference is that Carol isn’t as wild as you.”

Carter's words reminded Josie of the situation between her and her brother in the story. Carter's brother, Michael, also liked to provoke Carter when they were young, and then he would be "beaten up" by Carter!

"So you're saying I'm savage?" Carter rolled his eyes.

"No, no, by the way, speaking of which, how is your brother doing lately?" Josie asked casually.

“I was actually just about to tell you this. MI6 wants to recruit him!” Carter’s expression turned serious when he heard Josie mention his brother.

New storyline begins tomorrow...

Chapter 228 IMF

"MI6? Was it him who was exposed? Or because of you?" Josie asked with a slight smile, but she didn't take it too seriously.

Because of Peggy Carter, the CIA covered up the fact that her brother Michael Carter had been recruited by Yugoslavia as a Zodiac agent. His records only stated that he lost his memory during the war, lived in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and was later found by the CIA.

Therefore, theoretically, it would be impossible for MI6 to know that Michael Carter was a Zodiac-style "super soldier".

However, this does not mean that Michael exposed himself in his personal life.

However, the more likely reason is Peggy Carter.

Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that Carter is British. Although Captain Carter was created by the United States, the British also want her back.

Normal methods won't work. Not to mention whether the US would release him, even if they were willing, it would depend on Peggy Carter's own willingness.

Therefore, using kinship to win them over is indeed a good idea, since Carter only has his brother as family now.

However, Josh was quite confident in Carter in this regard.

Carter is the kind of person who clearly separates public and private matters, so it would be too difficult to restrain her with just family ties.

Moreover, regardless of the original timeline or the current timeline, various factors make it impossible for Carter to give up her work and ties in the United States and work for Britain—unless she retires completely.

“Both are true. The situation in Britain is still not very good, so last month, Michael exposed his abilities by saving people in a chaotic situation, which drew attention to him. Plus, he's my brother, so MI6 is keeping an eye on him and wants to invite him to join a special department within MI6. But don't worry, this won't affect my work for the CIA,” Carter explained immediately.

“No need to say that, Peggy. I definitely believe you. But to be honest, Michael joining MI6 might not be a bad thing for you,” Josie said, waving her hand.
