Transformers: Survival of Defective Products

At first, everything was normal. The intelligence from the mech special operations team indicated that this was just a high-level special transport operation involving the government.

A large civilian truck was towing a secure cargo warehouse, escorted by several high-performance vehicles and a government agent.

"Target confirmed."

Inside the helicopter, Silas looked down at the highway: "The nuclear reactor is in the cargo hold."

Several black armed vehicles rapidly approached from different directions.

Initially, none of the Autobots transformed. Arcee quickly changed lanes in front, while Bumblebee forced a car that was too close from the side. The bulkhead was so large that it simply blocked the car behind.

The Jazz anticipated this and twice blocked their car at angles where they could no longer pursue.

Silas observed, "The pilots are highly trained."

The deputy asked, "The military?"

"It doesn't seem like it." He didn't rush to make a judgment.

The mech special operations team's helicopters began suppressing the enemy from above.

The Autobots don't want to suddenly transform on human roads, so they haven't exposed themselves yet.

Fuller cursed over the radio, "Where did these people come from?"

"Make sure the device is safe first," Optimus Prime said.

A tunnel soon appeared ahead, and a freight train sped towards them along a parallel track.

-

After entering the tunnel, the helicopter briefly lost sight of the outside world.

The Autobots acted swiftly, several machines transforming instantly in the darkness. Optimus Prime removed the dynamic nuclear power generator and placed it into a reinforced carriage of the freight train.

The entire process took less than half a minute before they transformed back into vehicle mode.

Once out of the tunnel, the convoy continued forward as if nothing had happened.

As expected, the mech special forces team continued to chase the truck's cargo hold until several vehicles forced their way in. A well-trained member of the mech special forces team climbed onto the cargo hold and forcibly broke the rear cargo hold latch.

The door was opened, but the inside was empty.

Inside the helicopter, Silas paused for a moment, then looked at the freight train that had just emerged from the tunnel.

"Beautiful." His tone held a hint of appreciation. "The target has been shifted."

-

After turning to the train, the mech special forces skillfully disrupted the power supply to some of the carriages and attempted to remotely unlock the fixed locks of the dynamic nuclear power generation device.

The Autobot base received an abnormal signal from the dynamic nuclear power generation device immediately.

Lafite leaned closer to the screen: "Both shockproof locks are gone."

The ambulance arrived immediately: "Is there any chance of recovery?"

"Automatic system is not responding."

Jack asked, "What if things continue like this?"

The ambulance driver looked grim: "If the high-speed vibrations continue, the worst-case scenario could lead to a nuclear leak."

Smokescreen immediately stood up: "I'll come over."

The ambulance crew looked him up and down: "Where are you going to stand?"

Smoke screen: "On the roof?"

"If you kick it, the whole train will stop moving."

Smokescreen: ...That makes sense.

"I'll go," Jack said.

The vector turned its head: "No."

Meiqi immediately joined the group buy: "Both of us are fine!"

Before the ambulance and the vectoring device could stop the few kids with maximum execution ability, Raffi had already pulled up the internal structure diagram.

"There are manual locks inside the carriage. Just press these devices back in, and the system will be restored."

Yin Xiang crossed his arms: "This kind of thing should be done by adults."

Ambulance: "Fuller, the only adult, is still sitting in Optimus Prime's parking spot, almost throwing up."

The base fell silent for a moment, then Meiqi immediately seized the opportunity: "See!"

There is currently no better or safer alternative, so the only option left is to define the conditions for vectorization.

"Once inside, your only task is to restore the fixed locks. Return immediately afterward and do not contact any members of the mech special operations team."

Jack nodded, and Meiqi followed suit, while Yin Xiang said irritably, "Especially you."

The ambulance briefly established a land bridge based on the train's real-time location, and Jack and Meiqi entered an adjacent empty carriage.

-

The two quickly located the dynamic nuclear power generation device, and Raffi remotely guided Jack and Maggie to inspect the fixtures.

"The first one is ready."

Raffi stared intently at the screen at the base. "The second one from the right."

Meiqi had already climbed over: "Found it!" "Don't touch the red one!"

"Which red one?" "The one next to your hand!"

Meiqi immediately pulled her hand back: "Oh."

The vectors were so strong they made my brain hurt.

Smokescreen blurted out, "She has a real talent for finding things!"

As Jack finished locking the locks, he heard footsteps coming from the roof of the carriage.

Jack and Meiqi stopped at the same time, and Raffi quickly checked: "Someone has gotten on the bus."

The vector immediately said, "Withdraw."

The ambulance was frantically typing on the control panel, but it would take time to open the land bridge again on the constantly changing train, and the ambulance couldn't help but curse.

The carriage door was kicked open, and several members of the mech special operations team entered. Their movements were swift, clearly indicating that they had undergone long-term military training.

Meiqi grabbed a crowbar and was about to climb up when Jack pulled her back.

"You can't beat me!" "How do you know if you don't try!"

An adult armed man on the other side raised his hand and quickly operated the tools in Meiqi's hands.

Meiqi: "..."

Jack: "See!"

The two had no choice but to retreat to the back of the carriage.

-

Back at the base, Raffi was frantically typing, his fingers flying across the keyboard: "Their helicopters are locking onto the train!"

The vector turned to him: "Can it be broken?"

"I'll give it a try."

Raffi actually succeeded in hacking into the other party's control system on his first try, and the lock box disappeared.

"It's a success!"

His joy lasted less than two seconds before the screen suddenly went black, followed by a barrage of landmine and bomb icons, making his computer seem like it was totaled.

"My computer!! They've found me!"

-

At the same time, a request for support from the escort team came in, and the vector signal synchronized the situation with 97 and AZ, followed by a notification response.

Megatron's first reaction upon hearing this was, "An armed organization within humanity?" "Yes."

"The target is a nuclear power plant?" "There are still two children on the train!"

Megatron sensed the anxiety in her voice and turned his head slightly: "Starscream, take the flying soldiers over there."

Starscream had wanted to ask why the Decepticons suddenly wanted to work for the human government, but after hearing what the Graviton said, he didn't ask any further questions.

Give me the coordinates.

-

A few minutes later, Fuller saw the Decepticon formation flying overhead and almost cursed aloud.

"Optimus Prime!" "They're reinforcements."

"Say it again?" Fuller thought he had misheard.

Red Spider's voice came from above: "Don't lump me in with that bunch of organic idiots down there!"

Fuller: ...His impression of the Decepticons hasn't improved at all!

Arcee remained calm: "You'll get used to it."

"This isn't a matter of habit!"

Red Spider overheard: "I didn't ask you to get used to it!"

The scene instantly descended into chaos, while the mech special operations team in the distance remained quietly recording.

It's amazing that they couldn't detect any trace of living life inside those fighter jets; it was the fighter jets themselves that were transmitting communications.

Silas stared at the screen, his eyes dark and gloomy.

-

Even though the locks on the dynamic nuclear power plant had been installed, Jack and Meiqi were still trapped inside the carriage.

The mech special operations team discovered that seizing the cargo was far more difficult than expected, and a group of strange fighter jets of unknown origin had also joined in and occupied the area.

Silas gave the order without hesitation: "Evacuate the personnel."

Second-in-command: "Where's the target?"

Silas looked ahead at the tracks: "If we can't have it, we shouldn't let them have it."

The order was given, and the railway ahead was instantly blown apart, with a large hole blasted into the entire section of the rail.

-

Meiqi screamed, "It's broken in the front!!"

Everyone in the base looked solemn. The train's speed did not decrease at all. Even if the two children went to the control room to slow down the speed, they wouldn't have enough time to cover that short distance.

The vector instantly stood up: "AZ, open the land bridge to the train."

AZ retrieved the coordinates as soon as she finished speaking.

The vector turned and left, simply deforming while running.

She was originally a Cybertronian assault ship, and after coming to Earth, she made some adjustments to adapt to local customs.

The overall silhouette remains long and low, resembling a heavy motorcycle, but the front end features sharp, cold lines reminiscent of a high-speed maglev train.

It appears to have front and rear wheel sets, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there are no traditional tires or axles, only a semi-enclosed magnetic levitation ring.

She lies flat on the ground and is almost silent when starting up, with only a slight hum of the magnetic field.

The land bridge opened, and the decoy rushed in.

-

The land bridge was still some distance from the railway. As soon as she stepped out of the bridge, she decisively activated the magnetic field for instantaneous maximum acceleration.

The magnetic levitation ring lit up with a very thin bluish-green light, the vehicle body rose slightly upwards, and then disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Silas could only see the thing that looked like a motorcycle, which in the next instant turned into a streak of light that skimmed across the ground.

The speedometer detected her, and the reading jumped sharply, exceeding the threshold.

"What is that?"

No one can answer that.

The mech special operations team watched as this abnormal vehicle rapidly approached the train, with no reasonable power curve whatsoever.

For the first time, Silas’s attention was diverted from the dynamic nuclear power plant.

"Lock it."

-

The attracting vector has caught up and is moving at high speed alongside the train, maintaining parallelism.

As the members of the mech special forces team approached the carriage where Jack and Meiqi were, their guns suddenly flew out of their hands at the same time.

The weapon flew up, and the buttons on the bulletproof vest, climbing ropes, and weapon belt were all violently ripped off by an unseen force and thrown aside.

Several members instantly lost their balance and were thrown directly out of the carriage. After a strange slowing of their fall, they landed on the soft soil and low bushes by the roadside, looking disheveled but alive.

Silas stared at the screen: "A magnetic weapon?"

"Currently, no magnetic weapon can do that, right?"

He looked at the unusual motorcycle that was moving steadily at high speed, and his interest was completely piqued.

-

Jack and Mei-Qi, inside the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the vector: "We're alright!"

"A nuclear actuator?"

Jack: "Locked up!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, but the other half came from the fact that there was no road ahead; the charred, broken railway tracks lay not far ahead.

She accelerated again: "Optimus Prime!"

The red and blue trucks chasing the train accelerated simultaneously: "Understood."

The two vehicles suddenly transformed and reassembled, becoming a huge mechanical life form.

Inside the mech special forces helicopter, Silas stared down into complete silence.

The truck transformed into a gigantic red and blue mechanical life form, so large that even the hill shone with its brilliance.

The deep purple magnetic levitation motorcycle, which had just been skimming the ground at high speed, now unfolded its limbs and outer armor in mid-air, its magnetic levitation rings retracted to its legs, and its fins popped open.

The rumors are true; there are autonomous mechanical life forms on Earth.

-

Optimus Prime rushed to the front, landed on both feet, and used all his strength to slam the front of the car against the ground.

The metal struck with a loud thud, and his feet dragged two deep marks along the tracks.

The magnetic force is positioned next to the train, near the front, and both hands are pressed against the carriage. The magnetic force spreads out and extends rapidly along the entire train until it covers the whole train.

Then she applied reverse traction, and the deceleration was distributed evenly among all the carriages.

The wheels whistled as they hit the rails, the entire train shook violently, and Jack and Mei Qi lay prone on the floor of the carriage.

Optimus Prime couldn't help but growl, his gravity vectoring fins tightened, and the magnetic attraction intensified.

The train's speed continued to decrease, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, the broken track was getting closer and closer.

Optimus Prime took a sudden step forward, and at the same instant, the gravitational vector tightened its magnetic field, followed by a final, ear-piercing friction sound.

The train finally came to a stop.

-

The vector headed straight for the carriage where the two children were. Both of them were unharmed, just covered in dust.

The dynamic nuclear energy device was also unharmed; its interior remained intact thanks to the locking mechanism.

She exhaled the last breath, then suddenly looked up, raising her right arm pulse cannon, which had transformed in an instant, almost without warning.

Silas's helicopter was still circling and observing. He only saw her raise her hand, but his combat instincts kicked in instantly: "Pull up!"

boom!

The energy beam swept past in an instant, causing the helicopter to veer sharply. The artillery fire grazed the tail, blasting metal fragments, and a piece of the tail fin was sheared off.

The helicopter shook, but did not crash. He cleverly distanced himself and retreated to a safe area before the second attack.

The vectoring device didn't fire indiscriminately; the long-barreled sword cannon was too powerful and unsuitable for non-lethal pursuit.

She stood beside Optimus Prime, watching coldly alongside him as the helicopter gradually disappeared into the distance.

Suddenly, a strange channel came through the communication, and a calm, slightly cheerful male voice came through.

"The Mech Special Forces greet you. You can call me Silas."

The helicopter is still moving away.

"A very fruitful day." His gaze fell on the vector through the camera system: the deep purple armor, the exquisite transformation, and the completely inexplicable ability to manipulate things from a distance.

"Looking forward to our next meeting."

The muzzle of the right arm of the vectoring gun was still lit.

"Next time I'll smash your mouth in."

Silas chuckled, and then the communication was cut off.

-

The mech special forces team ultimately failed to obtain the dynamic nuclear power generation device.

Fuller stared at the helicopter disappearing into the horizon: "All we know is that this is an organization that firmly believes in the supremacy of mechanical modification."

Arcee looked at her: "That Silas is very interested in you."

She didn't like that look, and with a sour face, she created a new entry in the judicial records.

[Mech Special Operations Team.]

[Person in charge: Silas]

[Nature: A highly armed, unofficial human organization.]

Technical capability: High.

[Organizational training level: High.]

[Confirmed actions: attacking high-risk government energy transport vehicles, sabotaging public railways, boarding trains with armed men, and attempting to seize dynamic nuclear power generation facilities.]

Risk level: High.

-

Silas, who was evacuating, turned off his tactical screen.

Although the mission failed, he showed little regret.

The final frame on the screen shows a wheel-less, deep purple magnetic levitation vehicle transforming into a gigantic mechanical life form in mid-air.

Silas looked for a long time, and then he found something even more interesting.
