In honors of Skybound Soundwave being the diva ever I drew him hitting more poses because I think that’s what he needs in life… with the Skybound style!! Idk what kinda bills he had to pay to be doing all that but I support it and I think he should do it ten million more times

[piusomnipotente]

Skybound could be stabbing you 53 times in the heart meanwhile Soundwave just is strutting around like this throughout it for some reason 💔💔 he don’t need to be doing all that but he does

I LEFT YOU ALONE FOR FIVE MINUTES!

THE devotionshipping trope is "are they loyal to me or to my title" and the answer HAS to be that they genuinely don't differentiate between the two and are confused and slightly alarmed by the question

inspired by this cute blokees toy pic!!

seeing it made me think it’d be cute if the cassettes took turns to carry soundwave around in his alt mode, either for stealth or just for fun. soundwave is always carrying them so sometimes they’d like to do the same for him… let him relax and play their favorite tunes for them 🥺💙

knight/lord ships are like. what if i would die for you. what if i wanted you to live for me. what if i wanted to touch you but could only be satisfied with being near you. what if i could touch you but only through the safety of our gloves. what if i couldn’t stop thinking about you right next to me. what if i bloodied my hands for you and never looked back at the wreckage. what then

Megatron will consider this the whims of this dark power sanctioned within his spark-chamber. However, he will frame this as a reward towards his most trusted devotee.

" Soundwave, " he calls, if only to make this easier in searching for him, Laserbeak adjusting the view until only Soundwave remained within his scope. His only onyx servo raised to collect the underside of his right cheek guard, bidding him still as he kneels, pressing lips over the crown of his helm.

" For your piety. It has not gone unnoticed. "

Soundwave shivered. It took all the strength in his frame to not let his helm lean further into the servo that cradled it. It took everything within his spark to keep his disposition even as derma touched his helm.

Unexpected was not a strong enough word to describe this unforeseen gentleness.

Soundwave would relish this. He would savor the feeling of such a worn servo that had caused such misery granting him the highest of honors. The feeling of derma that had spurned millions into their deaths now granting him a breath of life was burned into his memory banks.

He looked up slowly, watching Megatron pull back. He cycled a soft, steadying vent as he was afforded rare words of praise. A hidden smile crossed his faceplate, its presence only being known by the small hint of pleasure in his otherwise impassive field.

Soundwave merely bowed his head, staring at his servos resting on his knees. He would not voice his thanks, it was something that was already known- a constant. Instead, he would remain in this small and humble position, submitting to his master's whims as he has always done.

The disappointment stung like a shard of metal through the spark. Soundwave could not help the anger that began to seethe deep within his chassis at his master's words. He was the third in command. Of course Megatron was right to be disappointed- he expected nothing less- but Soundwave knew that he was not solely to blame for this disaster.

Soundwave had followed the direction of the Cause to the glyph and stroke. His neat handwriting had guided them through the initial phase of reconstruction their forces underwent (though there was still plenty to be done), not to mention reestablishing contact with Cybertron- until the Autobots had severed it. While Soundwave was certainly not someone who would pass off blame for the failures that commenced under his command, he also was not interested in taking fault for the actions of others, especially his "brothers".

The anger never boiled over, rather it simply came to a low simmer as Soundwave looked over towards his prodigal brothers. If they had not gotten in the way, if they had simply followed orders, none of what was going to pass would have to happen in the first place. The exhaustion of constantly being the only reliable member of this faction was burdensome.

Everyone had a place. Soundwave knew his. He was tired of those who were given the honor of serving and their relentless efforts to rise above their stations.

"Scans indicate that the two gestalts remain." Soundwave intoned, "Starscream and Astrotrain as well."

Gently, he set down Ravage and walked to where the glass of his tape deck had been discarded. He bent over to pick it up and tucked it beneath his arm.

"Thundercracker has gone AWOL, Skywarp is online but nonfunctional, and it can be assumed that our forces on Cybertron remain, although they are more than likely leaderless."

A pitiful report. Shameful, really.

With creaking joints and shaking knees, Soundwave did as he was commanded. He glanced back at the fallen glass cover of his tape deck, wishing only to have Ravage securely stored inside. Her life was far more valuable than most; Soundwave would not allow her to be squandered once again.

The question did not necessarily catch him off guard- it was expected after all. However, it was difficult to answer without saying exactly what Megatron didn't want to hear. To Soundwave there was a difference between excuses and explanations. However, he doubted severely his master's receptiveness to this nuance in this moment.

He clutched Ravage closer. She laid her head on his shoulder, her purring engine grounding him, clearing his mind.

"A weakness of leadership." Soundwave finally answered. "Ego. Personal achievement being put ahead of The Cause. Acting individually instead of as one."

A neutral answer. One that could be interpreted as applicable to anyone. Of course, Soundwave did not believe it truly applied to himself. Sure, yes, he had his own ego. However, even despite Ravage's state, he constantly worked towards the goal of restoring Cybertron, towards reuniting their forces, towards achievement no matter the cost. All things that Megatron had taught him- all things that he attempted to put into practice. He would have done these things too, if it hadn't been for outside forces.

That is where lies the argument in which Soundwave was weak in leadership. While he was willing to admit that, now was not the time. He would much rather have that conversation when he was not transferring command up the chain.

A soft exvent, though it was difficult to tell if it was out of relief or fear, came from Soundwave as he looked over the ruins of Seattle. The Autobots were retreating. Let them. They had work to do. Soundwave took a moment longer to soak in the scene before turning his gaze to Megatron, soft and patient. Reverent.

Happy Mothers Day for the mothers out there! Especially this mother who’s raising many cassettes and also a whole faction all by herself cuz nobody’s taking anything seriously in there and he has to do everything 😒 except maybe Thundercracker and Shockwave tbh. But that’s besides the point
