"This..." Dominic looked at the brand-new sports car with an expression of surprise. Letty was equally shocked: "This isn't my grandmother's car!"
Puzzled, she pulled open the car door, sat inside, and carefully examined the special emblem in the center of the steering wheel. Her confusion deepened: "What's going on? The emblem is the same, but the car..."
Letty opened the hood and was shocked to find the engine inside was astonishingly pristine—modern, powerful, nothing like vintage equipment.
"This doesn't look like an old antique. She's as new as a showroom model!" Dominic said with a laugh. Though curious, he wasn't as surprised as Letty—after all, only she knew what the car originally looked like.
"What exactly is going on?" Letty was genuinely bewildered.
Dominic told Letty to start the car. The moment she turned the ignition, strange broadcast sounds echoed—electronic wave noises, digital chirps. The engine roared powerfully to life.
The venue fell silent. The audience was captivated by the strange events unfolding on screen, filled with curiosity.
"This is a hell of a car. We should take her out for a spin," Dominic suggested.
The scene shifted, showing Dominic in his car and Letty driving "Bumblebee" together on a vast, deserted highway.
Suddenly, a convoy drove up and blocked them. Leading was a magnificent semi-truck, followed by emergency vehicles, military SUVs, and several sleek sports cars.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Dominic got out, somewhat angrily, and yelled.
Just then, the leading semi-truck suddenly split apart, followed by a series of exhilarating mechanical transformations. Amidst the clanking and grinding of metal, the magnificent truck transformed into an incredibly tall, impossibly cool robot.
Dominic was stunned. So was Letty.
Everyone watching this video was stunned.
But after the initial shock, a flood of surprise and excitement washed over everyone. They all realized—this was NOT Fast & Furious...
The next second, Bumblebee—driven by Letty—also began to transform, turning into a yellow humanoid robot under the gaze of over a billion viewers worldwide.
Immediately afterward, all the other vehicles present also began transforming—various spectacular transformation sequences that left everyone wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
Combined with stunning visual effects and the venue's massive 3D displays, the Transformers—a completely unfamiliar existence to this world—brought a shocking and unexpected sensory experience to everyone.
It felt as if they'd truly witnessed the arrival of aliens, seen a miracle, witnessed the most incredible thing imaginable.
"Oh my GOD!" Everyone present, almost simultaneously with Letty in the video, exclaimed.
Optimus Prime explained their identities, origins, and purpose for coming to Earth to Dominic and Letty. He conveyed the war on Cybertron and the existence of the Decepticons. Various shocking battle scenes flashed by quickly, conveying a vast amount of worldbuilding information in the most efficient way possible.
The scene shifted again. At a US Air Force base, a previously destroyed military helicopter landed. Military personnel surrounded it, hoping the pilot would exit for questioning.
But the next second, the helicopter began to transform—turning into a tall, menacing robot and immediately attacking the entire base. Its weapons were devastatingly powerful, destroying human military assets with overwhelming force...
The promotional trailer ended there, with the iconic transformation sound effect accompanied by sleek typography, finally displaying: "TRANSFORMERS – March 1st – Global Release!"
The moment the sound effects and music abruptly stopped, the entire venue was first silent—then erupted into a tsunami of discussion and excited exclamations.
"OH MY GOD, this is Stormwind's new project! What a pleasant surprise!"
"Stormwind never disappoints us. Transformers is TOO COOL!"
"Even though it's not Gundam, this doesn't feel any worse than Gundam would've been. Cars and planes that can transform—what brilliant concept design!"
"Holy shit, Stormwind is AMAZING! They've created another legendary work. This is definitely another masterpiece!"
"Oh my God, this will absolutely be this year's breakout hit. I'm so hyped!"
"It's genuinely shocking! Cars and planes turning into robots, mechanical lifeforms. This concept is incredible!"
"This feels like another massive worldbuilding universe. Cybertron, a race of mechanical beings. I'm really looking forward to the story!"
"So what was covered in the Infinite Realms Exhibition Hall wasn't Gundam—it was Transformers! That's genuinely unexpected!"
"It must be! The yellow sports car in the exhibition hall was Bumblebee!"
"Yeah, yeah! So THAT was the answer! We were all fooled by Stormwind!"
"They hid it brilliantly!"
"Connecting Fast & Furious with Transformers—genius! Is Dom going to be the protagonist of the new content?"
"This crossover concept is perfect! It would be so cool if all those sports cars in Fast & Furious could transform!"
Discussions among the crowd rose and fell. Those watching livestreams were equally excited, with comments and reactions almost overwhelming the screens. Everyone's hearts remained restless, still immersed in the shock Transformers had delivered—so much so that few people paid attention to the subsequent promotional trailers.
"Mr. Morrison is incredible! The creativity of this project is unparalleled!"
"Absolutely. That was a HUGE surprise!"
"Next year's Innovation Award is yours again!" Several developers with whom Alex had been chatting gave him thumbs-up. They weren't just flattering—they were genuinely deeply impressed and captivated by Transformers' concept.
However, among the many developers present, several had grim expressions.
They should have been the happiest in attendance—their new projects had all been selected for promotional showcase at this prestigious event.
But they never expected Stormwind's new project would have such a devastating opening, completely stealing the show. Their content simply couldn't compete.
Looking at the atmosphere, few people were still interested in watching upcoming trailers—everyone was immersed in Transformers discussion. This was terrible news for them.
The promotional videos for all ten new projects played sequentially. With Transformers as a brilliant precedent, the other releases suddenly seemed dim and lackluster. Though some had genuinely good concepts and generated modest reactions, the overall reception was truly poor.
After all new project trailers finished playing, the Infinite Realms Carnival Opening Ceremony concluded successfully.
All audience members began leaving, carrying excited and thrilled feelings, still discussing Transformers with endless enthusiasm.
The buzz would last for weeks.
Alex had done it again—completely dominated the conversation, set the standard for innovation, made competitors look pedestrian by comparison.
Transformers hadn't even launched yet, and it had already won.
Plz THROW POWER STONES.
