Prompt
分镜 1：动力重组：车尾裂变 (0-4s) 动作： Close-up tracking shot. A dusty muscle car accelerates. Suddenly, the rear chassis violently splits, expanding into gigantic hydraulic mechanical legs. The rear tires reconfigure into jagged metal heels. These legs slam onto the bridge deck, crushing the asphalt with a massive sense of weight. Blue sparks and white smoke erupt from the friction. High-frequency vibration, 8K photorealistic. 分镜 2：躯干扩张：钢铁脊梁 (4-8s) 动作：The transformation ripples forward. The car’s roof and hood fold and stack into a massive mechanical torso and armored shoulders. The interior of the car deconstructs, exposing a glowing power core. The titan stands nearly 15 meters tall, its metal spine extending and locking with a loud mechanical clank. Handheld shaky cam, low angle looking up at the growing giant. 分镜 3：正面武装：胸口炮仓 (8-12s) 动作：Extreme close-up on the chest armor plates. The heavy plating slides open in a complex clockwork sequence, revealing a colossal kinetic energy cannon nestled in the torso. Blue plasma arcs dance around the rifled barrel. The surrounding air begins to shimmer from intense thermal energy. The camera captures the intricate clicking of locking mechanisms. 分镜 4：终极裁决：毁灭一击 (12-15s) 动作：The cannon fires a devastating, blinding cyan energy beam directly from the chest. The massive recoil forces the titan to dig its metal claws into the bridge. The beam pierces through abandoned vehicles, causing them to melt and explode instantly. A shockwave ripples through the air, shattering remaining glass. Epic cinematic wide shot, masterwork, apocalyptic aesthetic.
