#Prime Soundwave is so creature

[dailymothanon]

Prime Soundwave always looked quite like a bat; so I really liked the idea of him just having an area full of like. Servers, (super?) computers and computer related stuff, cables and cords all around to hang off of. But like almost in a cave-like way, him crawling all around (upside down even) the almost maze like place like a bat in a cave or nesting area; presumably with the use of his data cables. Yknow, his own area that basically only he knows how to navigate and use (maybe other than Laserbeak). So this is just him upside down 😌 nothing special yet, I also assume his long arms are helpful for that stuff

Blitzwing: OOOH, You have zentacles like my tongue! Soundwave: ... Blitzwing: SO PRETTY! Soundwave: /// ♡ Blitzwing: Look what I can do with my tongue! ♡♡ Soundwave: ~ Blitzwing: Let's see how far it can GO !! Soundwave: ♡♡ /// ❣️!

Introducing my rarepair to the Transformers fandom, Blitzwing and Soundwave~ I know it's so random, but my friend @crow-cello and i thread about them so often. The dots that we connected to get them together are their tentacle traits 🐙 YES, even if they showcase said tentacle trait in different iterations- (Blitzwing in TFA and Soundwave in TFP) There's a lot more dots in this constellation, but this art is for their tentacle similarity.

Soundwave is based on my redesign, which you can find here!

[startheskelaton]

Okay so since we know that a TFP version of Sparkplug exists…that got my inner Prime fan, brain thinking, and I sudden had some questions regarding Sparkplug Prime.

So like how did the bots even discover her, like was she really dramatically unveiled by Megs? Or was it more of an accident, and they found her during a big fight? Cause she was still fairly young into of the images we saw her, while her more mature, form seems to be hinting at her future.

Plus did the bits really take her back to their base? Cause if Acree is comparing her stare with one of her dads, then I assume Team Prime does ‘capture’ her, and brings her back to outpost omega one. But that raises even more questions…

Like how do the rest of the hits react to her? I assume Acree is going to be very protective of her seeing how she’s the one holding her? What are the Kids and Folwer(and by extension his bosses the U.S government) reactions cause the bots can��t exactly hide a Sparkling meant to be the ultimate Optimus killer.

Plus since we know that Sparkplug is a member of a trio, does that mean a version of her friend’s Soundblaster, and Nightflyer exits?

Someone wanted to know more about her, and I felt like drawing her so why not. I image she ended up in the hands of the autobots because of Starscream. He saw how much Megatron fussed over her and immediately knew his ass was about to be replaced. Seeing an easy target to dispatch, he literally just kicked her out the ship during a battle and said the autobots must’ve dispatched her.

Megatron is obviously heartbroken and Starscream uses this to get a little bit more control for the time being.

Meanwhile, Arcee finds this little sparking in the middle of nowhere and due to survivors guilt, takes her back to the base.

Due to her intense power, they decide to take her in and hopefully raise her to be kind. This all being while Megatron still tries to look for her (I image he takes her when Megatron steals Optimus prime). She ends up getting rather attached to Jack’s mom, as well as Ratchet. This Sparkplug actually wants to be a medic and does her best to help… even if she’s a little destructive.

Miko loves her, seeing her as a little destructive creature with good intentions. Jack is more upset that he’s getting suck with babysitting duties. And Raph is happy to not be the youngest anymore.

I image her older version would appear in “Robots in disguise”, showing up to glare at bumblebee and force him to get his shit together instead of Optimus. (My version Optimus stays gone because we want Bee to have proper character development)

Nightflyer would probably be one of the animal themed deceptions that trained under Starscream, starting in his predicon form.

Soundblaster would probably still be a attempt to make another Soundwave since he’s still trapped in the fucking shadow realm

[transingthoseformers]

Thought, transformers prime Soundwave being afraid of bugs and small rodents. Like seeing a cockroach and ending up on the roof refusing to get in, scared. Starscream finds it hilarious of course, while Megatron finds it disappointing that officer, formal gladiator, is scared of bug with antennas like him. Just the scenarios this would cause if autobots find out.

I saw this and I'll admit I thought about Soundwave dragging other mecha into the room and then leaving so that they'd deal with it instead dhgddhdhgd

It'd be kinda funny if it 100% doesn't apply to small cybertronian wildlife, only Earth's smaller creatures lmao

Also: ik cockroaches are notoriously resilient and often find a way, but wooooo it must be difficult to be an organic bug on a decepticon warship

[poopfartlesbian]

May I please request some WaveWave x gn human reader romantic headcanons :0?

In general and how you think their dynamic would unfold with their human partner :3

Maybe the reader is more into science like paleontology (study of ancient) or smth (totally not projecting myself in that 😪 /s)

I love my scientist wife n our awesome bf a lot!!

Tysm in advance n I hope you have a good rest of your day/night 💞

ABSOLUTELY!! I love reading some WaveWave x reader myself so I'll definitely be doing more like this :3

Not sure what iteration you wanted so I tried to keep it pretty open but it leans a lot into Transformers Prime

WaveWave x GN! Reader headcanons!

I may have done a lot this time lol

- Shockwave is the cold logic; Soundwave is the quiet connection; You're the soft middle, the grounding presence that makes their extremes balance out. You bring warmth and curiosity that fascinates them both. Shockwave admires your intelligence and methodical thought process, while Soundwave is drawn to the emotional depth you quietly exude, even in analytical discussions.

- Soundwave communicates mostly through body language, text projection, or sharing earth music he thinks you would enjoy. You grow fluent in his subtle ways of expressing affection.

Shockwave doesn’t understand emotional nuance well, but he tries, often asking very clinical questions like, “Is this level of proximity within your acceptable parameters?” to which you find both funny and endearing.

You sometimes end up being the “translator” between their methods, and they grow increasingly fluent in understanding you as a result.

- Shockwave builds you custom tech to monitor your vitals and filter out harmful air particulates when you’re working in the field. He sees your fragility as a variable to be compensated for, thought you insist that you can handle yourself, you appreciate his consideration and care for you.

Soundwave is the silent guardian—tracking your movements, ensuring you’re safe when you go hiking to examine rock strata or fossil beds. You often get a quiet ping from your phone with a “drink water” reminder. It's him.

- Shockwave is intrigued that you study ancient life. He often offers technical equipment to assist in excavation or analysis, fascinated by how organic evolution and extinction mirror aspects of Cybertronian history.

Soundwave records your fieldwork without you noticing at first, later giving you a perfectly edited time-lapse video of your dig sites to help you keep track of the rhings you find at various locations.

- Shockwave will ask extremely specific questions about extinction events, biome shifts and whatnot and then compare them to Cybertron’s ecological collapses. He silently enjoys your passionate rants.

Soundwave installs a holographic projector that lets you walk among full-scale reconstructions of ancient creatures—imagine a private AR museum just for you so you can go into further detail much easier.

- Shockwave claims he "doesn’t date,” but he will go out of his way to take you and Soundwave to the middle of nowhere at night with a high-powered telescope to stargaze. He explains galactic structures in stunning detail while holding your small hand like it’s an important relic, something rare and delicate.

Soundwave prefers quiet companionship. He’ll let you sit on his shoulder and lean on his helm while you read or let you ramble about prehistoric fauna for hours. Every so often, he’ll gently tap your head in acknowledgment, it’s his version of a kiss.

- Neither are built for soft human affection, but they both try. Shockwave often hold you in his hand or on his shoulder during trips or when he's in the lab. Soundwave also likes to hold you in his servos.

They don't really say “I love you,” but;

Shockwave: “Your continued presence elicits favorable neural reactions. I would prefer you not leave my presence anytime soon.”

Soundwave: [projects a visual of a heart]

- You’re the one constant they don’t calculate or surveil. They simply trust you. Which is huge.

They bicker—quietly, scientifically—but they both defer to you as the emotional barometer when things get tense. You’re the balance between logic and silence, and they never take that for granted.

[lets-try-some-writing]

Out of all the prime decepticons, which one do you think would be most likely to have a human friend? I'd imagine they wouldn't be much of a friend, actually, it'd be like how we view pet goldfish? 💀

Megatron hates humans. Knockout thinks they are gross. Soundwave has better things to do. Starscream would be more prone to abuse a human than keep them in a jar. Breakdown maaaaaabye? But considering he died I'm going to drop him from the list for the time being. Airachnid is a similar story to Starscream, ditto for the Insecticons. Predaking is too good to deal with squishies. The Vehicons feel like they have more important things to worry about (like surviving Megatron).

With all that stated, let's be real. It would have to be Shockwave.

He can study this strange species and keep a human in a jar to observe. He'll feed the human, give them the bare necessities. All so he can watch and see what they do. Maybe eventually dissect the creature for analysis. He is the only one I can see keeping a human 'pet'. I know the fandom will fight me and say Soundwave would take a human in, and while I do find that fun in some fics, realistically, he would never do that. Soundwave has never once expressed interest in humanity in that way, maybe in the comics somewhere, but to my knowledge not in TFP.

So yeah, Shockwave.

[factual-fantasy]

29 Asks! Thank you! :}} 🚗

My rule of "no fanart" applies to fanfics as well. I have now updated my pinned posts FAQ to address this 😌

(Referencing this post)

XDD I'm glad! :}}}

Oof- sorry! No alcohol for us thanks! 😅 But hey- thanks for the offer! :)

@dunkudunk

AAAAAA THANK YOU SO MCUH!!! 😭😭💞💞💞

@elegysonnet

My favorite ancient Cookie is prooobably Pure Vanilla.. and my favorite beast is probably Mystic flour 👀👀

(Link in ask)

NIRAMIIIIII I will absorb this advice thank you 🫡🫡🫡

Something tells me he shouldn't be trusted with a tool that powerful/valuable <XDD

I'm considering the paid drawing requests more and more.. thank you for this ask. I'll keep it all in mind! :}}}

..Thank yuuu.... 🥺💖e

@thesweetishfish

XD That's actually very sweet and reassuring, thank you!🥰

Keeping this all in mind, thank you very much! :}}

(In response to this post)

NOOOOO DON'T TAKE MY TABLET I NEED HER 😭😭😭

@digi-vie

Aww XDDD love the chaotic bag gremlin. And the second one is so beautiful!🥰Thank you! :))

@starrygirldrawsx3

I've been thinking about watching TFP connected shows on and off.. maybe I'll give them a go after I finish Prime..? But aaaa idk.. not having Bulk, Miko and Ratchet around would be such a bummer 😭💔💔

Honestly a paid requests thing sounds great. I've had many times where I've dealt with artblock and turned to peoples suggestions for help. If I could work out a system for that.. I think I'd be much more comfortable giving commissions a go. <:)

@neo-metalscottic (Bibi and Cici birthday post) (Webtoon OC post)

Howdy, thank you so much. <:) I'm hoping my Ko-fi does start to rake in some money overtime. I really don't want to have to do commissions.💔

As for their birthdays... uhhhh I'm having a hard time remembering the dates. I have it written done somewhere I'm sure.. I know that Gerald's is somewhere in April, and Jangles is in August. I'll have to go find those dates again-

Also thank you! :DD I'm so glad you like my OCs! :))) So far what I had in mind for those two was.. well, you might need some context first actually-

The general idea for that webcomic was that it all takes place inside the broken mind of a comatose girl. (This cliché plot is what made me drop it rather quick) But anyways- so all the characters in this world are based on things in her real life.

The clown character is meant to be apart of a species of clowns. They're shapeshifters of sorts. And the shadowy figure is his true form/a beast that he can transform into if needed. This clown character is supposed to be her minds version of her dad. Someone one who always made her laugh and was very friendly. But was also very capable of protecting her.

Now the owl... I was thinking that one night before she fell into her coma.. she saw a barn owl outside her bedroom window. But due to the surrounding darkness, she could only see its head. She ended up feeling like/imagining that all the darkness out there around it was its body.

So now in her dream scape, this black shapeshifting beast stalks the group from afar. Contorting its body into various shadowy bugs and furry creatures. But always keeping its owl face...

He only knows as much as I do, So unfortunately I'd say no 😅 I'm unfamiliar with Skeletor. But Papyrus on the other hand...👀

Woof 💀 this is why I'm just sticking with Transformers: Prime 😅There's too much to keep track of!

A much as it brings me down, yes. I'd like to be notified in hopes I can have it taken down. 😔 Also thank you! :)

(Link in ask)

I see no issue with this XD

Are they bringing ibuprofen? :(

@milk-powrit

Some characters will stay evil and will have no redemption. For example Silas, Airachnid and Megatron will see no redemption. And I cant see any world where TFP Soundwave would work with the Autobots.. same thing with Starscream and his brothers.

As for most of those dramatic battles and moments, most of it will be remedied by "they actually survived the fight and got a second chance."😅

@tango-o-mango

My favorite bot character is Ratchet :)) but Bulkhead is a very close second. I just cant help but love the grumpy old bot. He pretends to not like the kids and be annoyed by the others antics. But the truth is his spark is full of nothing but love and dedication to his team. And he would give up everything he is/has to protect any of them. 🧡

My favorite human characterrr..... well, usually its Miko, but only when she's being really sweet/cute with Bulkhead. "I'll never forget you.." "I wanna be just like you Bulk!" "I cant Bulk, I gotta get you outa here!" "We cant leave Bulkhead! "(Run Miko!) Miko's brow frows and she tears up"

But aside from those moments she can get on my nerves sometimes <XD So for that reason I think Jack is my favorite human character. He never gets on my nerves and I like how much he's matured over the series.

Now favorite duo... ooo that's a good question. It'll have to beeee... uhhh.. man. Its a tough pick. I like Ratchet and Optimus, Bulkhead and Wheeljack are always fun.. but man, Bulkhead and Miko just hits different.

Arcee: "A scout must be silent but deadly" (Miko and Bulk both snicker and laugh). "That's my girl!" "I'm never leaving your side again.." The two of them together just makes my heart swell 😭💞💞

Also thank you! I hope you have a wonderful day as well! :))

@friedfishilove

AAA THANK YU SO MUCH!! :DDD

Also unfortunately, no.😔 There's been no such healing. 1 year later and I'm still battling this condition with no cure in sight. I'm at my wits end if I'm being honest.

@imafrealinrainbow478484

My only thought is "Why do those humans look nothing like Mario?? 💀"

I've heard of Earthspark, and while I've heard some good things about it.. I've also seen some not so good things. I think I'll just stick with Transformers Prime <:D

Yeah I was surprised that "Orion" wasn't more shocked and devastated at being told that his dear friend Ratchet and him were at war. And for this long..

I wish we had a moment where Ratchet got to explain everything to him. Or better yet- can you imagine if Orion was told all this horrible stuff about Ratchet, and then somehow he has a brief encounter with Ratchet? Maybe he was on the battle field and saw Ratchet in the distance, gingerly helping Bee to his feet.

Then they lock optics, and Ratchet looks devastated. His optics are full of worry and sorrow. The way he protectively shields Bee from gunfire.. he just cant see the blood thirst war criminal that Megatron described.

Maybe after that he would start to really become suspicious of Megatron and start to figure things out..

@jade-green-butterfly

Thank you <:) I wish the same for you! :))

@wolfie-777

Judging by your name, I'd say make it a wolf XDDD

Starscream X Reader (Mech Pilot AU)

Chapter 5

You squirm a bit in the too tight grip of the bot’s servos as he holds you. When the other blue bot had come in, he had switched back to speaking in Cybertronian. However, something about his expression when he looked down at you made you think he finally pieced it all together. You smile triumphantly up at him and narrow your eyes. You had successfully gotten under his plating.

The autobots had made it very clear to their human hosts that the Decepticons were nothing more than monsters. They weren’t to be trusted at all. But as you look between the two bots as they gaze down at you in horror, you can’t help but compare their reaction to the autobots. Both looked as if you might sprout another head at any moment. The one holding you looked absolutely affronted as his gaze darted from the scan displayed on the screen to you. You couldn’t read the other boxier mech, his mask and visor making it difficult to tell what he was feeling. But clearly he was one step ahead of the one who plucked you from the tube. You grimace and gasp suddenly unable to breathe.

“I’m still here. You’re starting to squish me you oaf.”

You say breathless as his servo tightens around your middle in his shock. Turning at your voice, he turns and dumps you unceremoniously back into the tube, knocking the breath out of you and making your head start to spin again. You try to pull yourself to your feet but fall against the side. Just in time to watch them both rush out muttering in their language. The door sliding shut once again.

‘What was the all about?’

You think as you try to gather yourself, glancing over at your mech and up to the top of the tube. It would be easy for you to shimmy your way up the thing if you could stop being so damn dizzy. You swallow back the wave of nausea that crashes over you. It’s not like you hadn’t been trained for things like this. You had run through scenario after scenario. But this one, this was unexpected. You had been told by the autobots that if a human were to be captured, it would end in their demise. A horrible gruesome one at that. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. The Decepticons did not care about preserving life.

Gripping the side of the glass container, you manage to lift yourself up and stand on wobbly legs. The adrenaline from the interaction was still coursing through you and making your hands shake as you stood slowly. You began an awkward climbing shimmy up the tube. Using your body and limbs to help you along. The tube wasn’t that high but it was high enough that you couldn’t just jump out. After reaching the rim, you take a moment to breathe and make sure no bots were around. Shockwave hadn’t returned. A lucky break. It was also lucky they had severely underestimated your ability to do anything. You smirk as you imagine the looks on their faces when they find you gone.

…

Starscream takes long strides towards Megatron’s throne room with Soundwave trailing after him. The communications officer had a point. That wasn’t just an organic creature. It was something straight out of a horror holo-drama. Something created in a lab that could turn the tide of the war in the Autobot’s favor. Lord Megatron needed to know about this immediately. If Shockwave hadn’t already informed his leader. The thought made him suddenly rock to a stop, Soundwave nearly crashing into his back as his wings flick. If Shockwave got ahold of this creature, if he figured out already that the humans can be infused with energon and used as weapons….

This wouldn’t do. This was something he could use. An advantage over his tyrannical leader. He had suspected for some time that Megatron was losing his grip on reality. Fueled by rage and hate for the leader of the Autobots.

Optimus prime.

His personal vendetta clouding his ability to make wise decisions as a leader. Starscream knew he couldn’t best him in battle but maybe…just maybe he could find a way to use this to his advantage. He turns to Soundwave, his voice thoughtful.

“Soundwave, we should keep this tidbit of information between us. You know how delicate Lord Megatron’s sensibilities have been lately. We wouldn’t want him putting barbaric ideas into Shockwave’s head. He’s already unstable as it is.”

Soundwave only nods. Looking back towards the lab where they left the human. Starscream huffed in exasperation. His companion still practically radiated anxiety for the little creature.

“We do need to get it out of Shockwave’s care. As SIC, I am responsible for prisoners. Not that glitched scientist. I’ll have the drones take her and that husk to the brig.”

He seemed sure of himself but the facilities on the Nemesis weren’t made to hold something so small. Something easily under ped. He thought for a moment as he stalked off on just how he was going to contain such an interesting threat. Soundwave turns. His loyalty to Megatron tempting him to go seek his counsel. But even he knew that his old friend wasn’t the same bot he used to be. He decided it’s in the human’s best interest that he keep it with him for now. Turning, he heads back towards the lab. Trusting something so fragile and small to Starscream of all mechs wasn’t sitting right with him. He pictured the small creature crushed in the seeker’s grip and shuddered.

…

You had climbed to the rim of the glass tube. Looking down at about a ten foot drop. Surely this wouldn’t be so bad? You brace yourself before jumping and landing hard. The sound echoing a lot more than you wish it would have. You freeze, waiting for someone to burst through the door. No one does and you smile. They hadn’t posted any guards outside. First mistake. They won’t make that mistake twice which means you get one shot at this. Peering over the edge of the table you look down at the almost thirty foot drop before pushing away feeling dizzy. Heights never bothered you but this, knowing you could fall to your death, was something different altogether. You take a deep breath and stepped back a few paces. It was a small jump from here to the inverted table and the arm of your mech. From there you could crawl up to her chest. Your head still pounding and chest still aching from the phantom pain, you brace yourself and run like mad for the jump.

Landing against her plating, you feel how cold she’s become. It wasn’t going to be a pleasant experience once you got inside. That ache in your chest reminding you of the gaping wound she possessed. You take a deep breath before climbing the rest of the way to the cockpit in her chest cavity. The damage was extensive. Torn proto-mesh and energon leaking from several damaged sections. At least Shockwave had been precise and missed all the main energon lines. This was salvageable. The pneumonic needle and gel cushion your body rested in were both still intact. You breathe a sigh of relief as you settle yourself back in. There was a small risk associated with re-establishing a severed connection but you pushed that out of your mind. You had to get out of here.

Closing your eyes and leaning back, you let your head fall into the gel. The familiar sting in the back of your neck barely noticeable as everything goes black. Blinding pain wracks your body as it comes online once more. You hold back a scream as your servos come up to clutch at your chest. Using your shaking servos, you try to close the plating as gently as you can around the tiny helpless body within. Bending the metal back in place makes you double over as the pain becomes almost unbearable. You groan and stumble off of the table. Noting the fact that your wrist restraints had been removed. They really underestimated you didn’t they. You get a small sliver of satisfaction in knowing you pulled one over on them as you stagger towards the door.

As you do, it slides open to reveal the blue mech from earlier. You hear him make a startled sound as you activate your jump jets and slam past him. Knocking him flat on his aft. He calls after you but you don’t hear it. Tearing through the hallways as fast as your jets will carry you. Wing panels flaring out to keep you stabilized as you search frantically for an exit.

Haunting the Nemesis

[techhiz]

I need to know how will the Terrains,Autobots and Decepticons react to a cybertronian having a fox as there altmode lol :3

I love your writing so far can't wait to see more in the future :3

"The Fox in the Midst."

The moment you arrived, things changed.

It wasn’t every day that Cybertronians encountered one of their own with an altmode so… unusual. Cars, jets, motorcycles, and even construction vehicles were the norm. But you?

You transformed into a fox.

Not a mechanical, quadrupedal scout drone. Not a battle-ready, feral beast. A sleek, agile, vulpine form that moved as naturally as any organic predator. Small but fast. Sharp but evasive. A perfect balance of grace and danger.

And no one knew how to react.

When you first arrived at the Autobots’ base, the silence was deafening.

Twitch blinked rapidly, optics flickering as if recalibrating. “Uhh… is that… a real altmode?” she asked, glancing at Thrash for confirmation.

Thrash’s optics widened. “I mean, it’s awesome, but—how? You could’ve picked anything, and you went with that?”

Optimus Prime, ever the composed leader, examined you with unreadable optics. “I have seen Cybertronians take on many forms,” he mused. “But a fox is… unconventional.”

Bumblebee folded his arms, lips curling into a half-smirk. “I gotta admit, that’s kinda cool. You could sneak around anywhere.”

Elita-1 nodded in approval. “Stealth-based altmodes have their advantages. Your size and mobility could be an asset in battle.”

Then there was Megatron.

He studied you, expression unreadable. His servo lifted, tapping his chin as he considered your form. “A fox,” he finally said, voice low and contemplative. “A creature known for cunning, adaptability… and mischief.” His optics darkened slightly. “I hope this is not a reflection of your loyalties.”

You met his gaze without fear. “I could ask the same of you, ex-warlord.”

A heavy silence settled over the room.

Then, to everyone’s surprise—Megatron chuckled. A deep, genuine sound that rumbled from his chest. “You have nerve, little one. I respect that.”

The tension eased, but the curiosity lingered.

Nightshade was the first to break the silence. “Oh, this is fascinating!” they exclaimed, optics practically sparkling. “The engineering required to shift into a quadrupedal form while maintaining structural integrity—tell me, how does your transformation cog handle the spinal realignment? Does it cause strain? What about balance?”

You blinked. “I… uh…”

Hashtag gasped. “Wait, does this mean you can do, like, those crazy fox jumps? Y’know, where they leap straight up and dive into the snow?!”

You smirked. “I can.”

Thrash practically vibrated with excitement. “Okay, okay, but can you, like, run up walls like those parkour vids? That would be so sick!”

Twitch, however, frowned slightly. “But… aren’t foxes kinda small?” she asked hesitantly. “Wouldn’t it be harder to fight Decepticons?”

Before you could answer, Megatron cut in. “Size does not determine strength,” he said firmly. “I have seen warriors half my size bring titans to their knees.” His optics locked onto you again. “Do not underestimate the power of a smaller frame.”

That was… oddly supportive.

Mo stepped closer, her head tilted. “So, like… are you fluffy?”

Your expression remained neutral. “…No comment.”

Facing off against the remaining Decepticons was another story.

Soundwave was eerily silent, his visor flashing as he scanned your form. He tilted his helm slightly, then gave a slow, calculated nod. Approval? Curiosity? Hard to tell.

Swindle burst into laughter the moment he saw you. “Oh, this is rich! You mean to tell me—out of all the altmodes out there—you picked a woodland critter?”

You smirked. “Coming from the guy who turns into a Jeep?”

Swindle’s laughter cut off. “Hey! My altmode is practical!”

Skywarp and Nova Storm exchanged glances, the Seeker duo visibly unimpressed.

“A fox? That’s just a fancy way of saying small,” Skywarp scoffed, arms crossed.

Nova Storm nodded. “Not much use in a fight. No wings, no armor. Seems like a liability to me.”

Rather than respond, you transformed.

In a blink, you were gone—nothing but a blur of movement weaving through the shadows. Before Nova Storm could react, a sharp tap landed against the back of her helm. She spun, only to find… nothing.

Then, just as quickly, you appeared behind Skywarp, claws grazing the sensitive plating along her side.

She yelped, jerking away as you smoothly shifted back into your root mode.

“Speed.” You gave them a pointed look. “Stealth. Precision.”

Skywarp bristled. “I let you do that!”

“Uh-huh,” you said, voice dripping with amusement.

Starscream sneered from the sidelines, arms folded. “Hmph. Impressive parlor tricks, but let’s see you take on a Seeker in the air.”

You smirked. “Why would I fight you head-on when I could just outmaneuver you?”

Starscream’s wings twitched. “That’s—” He scowled. “That’s beside the point.”

Soundwave let out a single, quiet ping. No words, just… acknowledgment.

Skepticism faded.

The Autobots came to respect your skills—Optimus trusted you with intelligence missions, Elita saw you as an invaluable scout, and Bumblebee found himself impressed by your evasive techniques.

The Terrans outright adored you. Twitch and Thrash constantly sparred with you, Hashtag recorded your movements like a sports analyst, and Mo was still convinced you were fluffy.

Even Megatron, who had initially been wary, acknowledged your cunning.

And the Decepticons?

They learned not to underestimate the fox.

Because while you might not have been the biggest or the strongest…

You were always the smartest one in the room.

Okay so I’m reposting my human(oid) TFP design for reference for the poll I wanna do but like, elaboration. You all know my other g1 not-human human creature design I did for Soundwave 🤔 well I was gonna do that for TFP Soundwave too, cuz again everyone in TFP was pointing out (especially from Ratchet) that Soundwave is no ordinary or normal Cybertronian inside or out. But it’s just that I can’t decide between three options to go with so I wanted to see what you’d all pick out (the winner may not be definite on what I go with btw but it would be a tremendous help with my indecision)

And also yes I do have ideas for each, and I do lean towards one option than the others… I’m sure some of you remember my ol’ post of my observations of Prime Shockwave and Soundwave looking like they have bug anatomy 😌 tho I still think all three of these options suit Soundwave so well that I can’t decide on which one (also if you had any ideas regarding any of the options I would be glad to hear them!)

Mutuality

A WaveWave (Soundwave x Shockwave) fanfiction I had sitting in my notes app since June.

I'm so normal about them ✍(◔◡◔) <(💜💙💜💙...) Spreading Wavewave propaganda all around!!!

~~~

Everything they’d established was mutual. Everything was temporary.

Yet…

Soundwave worked through long cycles at a time. Although Vehicons worked as equals with said con, they would often head out in herds and murmur amongst themselves, turning towards their higher upper in ignorant secrecy. “He wouldn’t go… Workaholic… Always so quiet…” They would say and leave, yet the communication officer didn’t care. He liked it alone. He… was alone.

Being alone wasn’t too bad as Cybertronians put it to be. Sure, all sentient beings such as humans are social creatures. Why wouldn’t a biological AI be? Soundwave scoffed in silence, amused by discussions of socializing and friends, some bot to lean onto. He has no need for that, but somehow in some way, he still felt empty.

Mega-cycles prior to the events of the Civil War, he was just a gladiator within the rings of Kaon. Almost besting even the then most notorious Megatrous, and as an ex-senator, he had ways to keep himself occupied. Soundwave was as loyal as Orion Pax to Megatrous. The latter would then become the last Prime and Megatron’s archenemy, but Soundwave saw the light Megatron envisioned and showed. The Decepticon saw himself as the only one deemed inseparable from the Decepticon cause and to Megatron until he was wrong.

Shockwave… was a newcomer and was immediately impressed by this visionary. He devoted himself to the cause with the knowledge of science at the back of his servo. He was of great use; easy to bond with if you were Megatron.

… If you were Megatron… or…

Soundwave found himself side to side with Shockwave when calculating the future events that would behold on their precious planet. They hardly talked. Well, Soundwave never did, but it seems as if Shockwave could read his thought processor and always understood him no matter the situation.

They found themselves together through their work and even areas of leisure. Each one’s company filled the other with unexplainable warmth, craving it yet never so close. It was vulnerable and bitter, but also sickly sweet.

Everything they had was mutual. Everything was temporary.

Shockwave never returned to the Nemesis after their last battle at Cybertron. He assumed he sacrificed himself for the fruition of the Decepticon cause… or lost his life to a disposable Autobot. However, he kept those words to himself as he always did. He never showed his concerns. Not even the worries of a lost friend…

Thoughts of Shockwave bored into his processor as days went on.

When Shockwave did come back, Soundwave held his tempered emotions between his empty exterior, wondering still thoughts and muted feelings. As the meek Starscream and honorable Megatron discussed the whereabouts of Shockwave’s new discovery, Soundwave turned his HUD mask to that scarlet orb of a con. He stared at Shockwave, spark still alight.

Soundwave found Shockwave admiring the space of blue and violet at the Nemesis’s large interior window. Soundwave usually patrolled the corridors before heading to his berth. It was a mere task any mech can do, but he found it as an excuse to clear his mind off of the stress the crew caused numerous times, be it their own or the Autobots.

He stood by Shockwave, neither inching closer or away. He too glanced up at the night-lit aurora that passed through each universe. The stars reflected on SoundWave’s screen; it was beautiful.

“Surely my disappearance didn’t cause too much of a strain for Megatron or the faction,” Shockwave started, his free limb swayed to meet his chassis as red optic focused on Soundwave.

Soundwave shook his helm. “Negative: Decepticons, steady process.”

“You?”

“Affirmative: Soundwave… ” He stopped himself. He couldn’t start now. How uncharacteristic it would be, the silent and vicious Communication Commander, speechless for words. But even then, he wouldn’t lie to Shockwave, so why now?

“Troubled.”

Shockwave nodded the best he could for an Empurata. “I expected as much, for a high command, you are valued - for me, not as much.” His partner resisted the urge to scoff, to break the vow of silence to argue it was not. However, he said nothing. Instead, he turned to Shockwave and latched his paper-thin fingers over Shockwave’s oppositely sharp ones. They mindlessly took hold of each other’s small embrace, their figures never unmoving until their chassis touched and faceless helms pressed into gentle bliss.

As opposed to Soundwave’s cold exterior of a vision field, Shockwave was hot, radiating heat that warmed the equally cold-sparked mech. The way Soundwave cooled Shockwave’s underlying heat which never faded from Kalis and the Enforcers.

Despite this mutuality, there was indeed something. War was a terrible, terrible concept that separated many physical and mental bonds. At best, Shockwave and Soundwave never made any. Still, their existence lingered within hard metal and soft sparks.

Even if everything they had was mutual… everything was temporary, they had everything.

[startheskelaton]

I take it that Sparkplug loves Shockwave but Starscream is head over heels for her and she doesn't know it?

I was just looking through you art and that's what I guessed.😅 Also, your shockwave design is HECKIN awesome! He's very creature shaped. My favorite shape. Lol.

So first off I think you have some characters confused but I love the enthusiasm!

This guy is Nightflyer, SON of Starscream

And this guy is the TF prime design of Soundwave but for this AU, he’s a failed clone creature of Soundwave and is named Soundblaster

The best way to explain it is with the dumb diagram I made

Sparkplug develops feelings for both boys, mostly through boding about being an outsider that has great expectations put on them. However when Nightflyer gets outed for being a spy, she feels betrayed and assumes he only got to know her because of what she could offer him as being the daughter of Megatron and Prime. She meets Soundblaster after an invasion by the decepticons gets interrupted by the Decepticon justice devision. Getting lost in space with him through an accident with a warp portal.

Nightflyer vary quickly falls for both Soundblaster and Sparkplug without even realizing it at first. Both bots are kinda science experiments gone wrong and he’s incredibly into that. He’s aware of the feelings of distrust Sparkplug starts feeling from him lying, but he refuses to lose one of the only people in his life that makes him feel like he belongs. On the other hand, Nightflyer is completely convinced that Soundblaster is his best friend, singing his praises and thinking about him often.

Soundblaster hates Nightflyer mostly due to jealousy, however just doesn’t say anything due to a lack of communication skills. Soundblaster was conditioned to be mostly silent like Soundwave, however that was mostly just how Shockwave perceived him. During the earth invasion, Soundblaster corners Sparkplug and attempts to capture her in order to get good favor with Shockwave. However due to an accident they are transported halfway across the galaxy. In the time they take to find a galactic transport station, they realize their common identity crisis and feelings of not belonging. Sparkplug would develop a crush on Soundblaster while he would decide to devote his life to keeping her safe. 

[what-if-i-like-my-mechs-older]

His question had spread through the Nemesis, many were questioning, all the way up to Megatron who was currently in his throne room, tapping his fingers on the arm of his chair.

He'd been disappointed that Orion had just left like that, however he was aware that Orion seemed to have some tension with Soundwave and let it go, perhaps next time he could give him the aftercare he wanted.

After all even if it wasn't their Prime, it was still an Optimus and an Optimus who didn't want aftercare in the slightest...well would quite literally have to be a mirror version of such a character and the idea of such a being was terrifying.

He'd heard the Stunticons talking amongst themselves and not in the manner of casual conversation, hushed tones and fast whispers.

After demanding to know what they were talking about, they'd told him what Orion had said, the question he'd asked and Megatron had gone silent.

Indeed, where exactly did The Autobots get their energon from?

At this exact moment Soundwave was checking the deals all governments had with The Autobots...and so far not a single one in trade for power or energy they would need to create Energon.

His mask had been fixed , but he was quiet, the mech wasn't going to admit it, but even he was feeling aggravated that Orion had just left....

He'd LEFT! No performance review, just stuck Megatron in his mouth and caused his leader to ejaculate from the barrel and left them both there!

And then the seekers , Starscream, STARSCREAM claimed Orion for his flock...if any of the crew were to follow Vosian laws, you couldn't get near a chosen grounder unless the seekers declared you worthy to be within ten feet of them....

Then again as he looked over the mission where Megatron had used all their inhibitor chips to defeat Optimus....none of them followed the rules...however Starscream did have a habit of pointing out certain things.

Particularly in moments such as when they all gave Megatron their inhibitor chips or when Megatron had faced Prime one on one after battling most of the Autobots....of course Starscream usually only spoke up at such moments trying to prove himself the better leader...what a fool.

Of course moments later the alarms started blaring , saying Optimus was attempting to escape, the cameras immediately on the exit lift, they watched as Optimus unsheathed his axe, neither Soundwave or Megatron would openly admit that weapon was a work of art or that they wanted to show Prime their own capabilities...

They absolutely expected him to cut the guards down only to watch him use the handle to pole vault past them, kicking them unconscious on the way out and kick the door open.

"Clearly he doesn't know unless there's a lock down , those are automatic."

Megatron sighed

"Constructicons fix those doors on the double, I believe they'll need an upgrade.... is-is that Thundercracker chasing after him...wait he's not chasing after-"

Everyone went dead quiet as they saw Optimus leap from the lift opening and the shimmer around him as his legs turned into that of some fish like creature (mermech) told them that he'd pulled something out of that damn subspace of his again! Just what on Cybertron was going on here!

Oh yes the mystery mech had seen this and absolutely was going to explore that on their next rendezvous, but right now his optic was trying not to twitch as Thundercracker and Prime were clearly off to spend time doing something....together.

Megatron slammed a fist down on the control panel and called in Starscream.

"Report at once where Thundercracker is taking our prisoner!"

Starscream his ever nonchalant self was lazing back, doing a bit of light reading on the humans Internet, after all the strange fascinating things they wrote made him want to hide from his data pad....and yet still peek at it, especially on ao3.

"I don't know glorious leader, maybe he's taking him out on a date, dinner first before fraternising. I mean even Skywarp fed him during their hard-line, can anyone else say the same?"

Megatron and anyone else who'd been with Prime so intimately looked sheepish....because , no, no they hadn't.

Starscream knew that was what the silence meant, a laugh leaving him

"Primus and I thought I was the animal, pffft using him like some silicone doll and putting him to the si-"

"Excuse you Starscream, he's the one who keeps leaving, you would know that if-"

Megatron had started, ready to defend himself on at least that, only for Starscream to interject

"I'm not interested in him , not in the manner you seem to be claiming anyway, after all he clearly had something going on with the Starscream of his Universe. I will not be compared, I hold myself in a higher standard."

Neither Megatron nor Soundwave had anything to say about that.

Soundwave was the first to ask though

"Does Thundercracker intend to return him?"

"Of course, did you think he was running away? HA please, he clearly likes it here, but even a bird needs to stretch it's wings, though I don't suppose either of you would understand that, you turn into a cassette player and a gun neither of you could possibly know the desire to transform and travel."

Starscream ended the conversation and looked over at Skywarp who was laughing

"Bro, that was a burrrrrrrn!"

Starscreams wings perked up, of course he loved the praise, he also thought it was hilarious that they didn't know Orion had straight up left his autobot symbol with them for safe keeping.

Not only that but Orion had lent Thundercracker a hard light holo projector that would allow him to walk around with a human form.

"You think they'll find some cheap motel or fancy hotel at the end of the day?"

Skywarp wondered outloud as he was reading one of Starscream’s recommendations.

"I don't know, so long as Thundercracker comes back happy no matter what they do."

Starscream replied , focusing on his story as he went to the next chapter.

"Yeah that's fair, but are you really not interested in Orion? Usually you'd leap at the chance to rub it in Megatron's face that he's not the only one who can seduce the pretty mechs."

Skywarp was curious, of course he was, he leaned forward, getting into his trine mates personal space as he poked his cheek only to have his hand swatted away.

"Stop that, and yes, I'm not interested, it would be inevitable that he would keep comparing me to his Starscream, even if he wasn't doing it on purpose, especially as he's shared some type of connection with him."

He set his data pad down and leaned back in his chair, fingers steepiling as he went into thought

"My question is, what happened to him and why weren't they still together. Did he die? Did they break up? Did my counterpart abandon him? It might be why he has connection issues or the inability to stay put after interfacing. Leave them before they leave you...perhaps it is time we actually ask him more about him instead of half our crew trying to get a leg over."

[yanderes-galore]

Hi, I hope you're having a good day/night <3 could I request a romantic TFP yandere starscream vs TFP yandere megatron with human darling? I'd love to see your dynamic now in TFP😭 Either in concept or scenario. Thank u

- Anon 🫧

It's very similar if not the same to other Starscreams and Megatrons but I'll see what I got :)

I struggled a bit on this as it's been a bit since I've seen Season One of TFP but I hope you enjoy! Not edited so it may have spelling errors.

Yandere! Starscream vs Yandere! Megatron

(Transformers: Prime - Human! Darling)

Pairing: Romantic - Rivalry

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Cybertronian/Human pairing, Abuse of power, Dehumanizing behavior, Kidnapping, Brief stalking mention, Possessive behavior, Rivalry, Trauma, Violence, Attempted murder, Forced relationship/Pet dynamic.

For the most part they're the same as other versions of Megatron and Starscream.

It's just Megatron is out for most of the starting obsession.

The obsession for both of them also takes longer due to you being human.

Since Decepticons usually see the fleshy creatures as some sort of pet.

Things most likely start when Starscream assumes "rule" of the Decepticons.

Megatron is stuck on life support and is unable to be a part of the concept for now.

You most likely meet Starscream first because of this.

It would take some time but he may eventually see you as a needed asset.

This could be for a number of reasons.

You could be associated with the Autobots, which means you have information.

Or maybe you're a researcher, which means... again, you have information.

That would be the primary reason for why Starscream would take you onto The Nemesis ship.

Starscream would plan and watch you, maybe even asking Soundwave to record your routine.

He wants to get all the information he can before he takes you in.

When Starscream eventually makes his getaway with you, information is all he really wants.

That is until he realizes he can vent his frustrations about Megatron using you... along with feel powerful by bullying you around lightly. (too much and you could break!)

Honestly, Starscream's obsession is a lot like the fic Power Trip I made a long time ago.

TFP Starscream would use his human to feel like he's stronger over someone.

I imagine he has some trauma due to Megatron and uses you as an outlet.

When he's done using you for information he doesn't plan on just letting you go.

During your interrogation he learns he can keep you as a "pet".

Afterwards that's exactly what he does.

He'd purposefully make you praise him and be loyal to him.

He can't hurt you as you're fragile and squishy.

The most you're hurt is maybe bruising and scratching as he's so large.

He hits you wrong and you go flying.

Most of your "relationship" with Starscream is him dehumanizing you.

Soon he feels daring and even makes you say you love him.

At first it was to see how far he can push you... but hearing you say it made his spark shudder for a moment.

Safe to say he becomes addicted to hearing you praise him and say you love him.

Even if to you it's all rehearsed.

This is the life to him, ruling Decepticons and holding his lovely human pet.

That is until Megatron awakens and takes back the role of leader.

I'd imagine this is where the rivalry begins.

However... first Megatron has to like you.

Megatron most likely learns about you through Soundwave and the fact that Starscream keeps clutching you so close in order to hide you.

In an attempt to hurt Starscream, Megatron takes you.

He can tell you and Starscream are close which he finds really weird.

At first Megatron thinks he should just kill you.

Then he hears you've been made into a pet... one loyal to the Decepticons.

Honestly, he has to applaud Starscream for managing to tame a human.

So instead of removing you, Megatron keeps you in a hanging cage.

You're just in sight to make Starscream remain obedient.

Megatron doesn't entirely fall for you until later.

He mostly just enjoys seeing Starscream look so distraught and seeing how obedient you are.

Again... you're used for a feeling of power.

How Megatron treats you is very similar to how he treats you in this concept.

Like Starscream, he uses your forced loyalty to stroke his own ego.

Megatron likes to think of you as his human pet.

Who knows, maybe if you say you "love" him like you did with Starscream, Megatron may grow more attached.

As time goes on, Megatron decides you'll thrive better in a larger cell.

Soon you have your own "enclosure" on The Nemesis, one where only Megatron gets to look at you.

Megatron also learns how to care for you through Knock Out and Soundwave.

He may even be able to threaten some info out of Starscream.

While at this point Megatron has claimed you for his own, he allows Starscream to see you in order to keep him behaved.

By this point Starscream doesn't care about ruling anymore.

He just wants you back, then he'll even leave!

Starscream may even wonder if he should attempt to take Megatron offline again...

He was close last time... this time maybe he'll succeed.

Unfortunately... Megatron isn't willing to have Starscream leave with you.

You know belong to Megatron, not Starscream.

Megatron keeps you in your enclosure, closely watching over you and speaking to you.

Meanwhile Starscream plots on how to steal you out of it.

Starscream may even create a plot where he has the Autobots storm The Nemesis all so he can take you in the aftermath.

It's unfortunate that you're stuck between the two....

You thought Starscream was bad, but now you have Megatron too.

There's two ways this could go.

Megatron exiles Starscream in order to keep you... or Starscream manages to run off with you.

Even then, there's still a chance you could fall into the claws of the other Decepticon.

Even when exiled... Starscream will just convince the Autobots to help him somehow if he says a "human is in danger."

Or if Starscream runs with you, Megatron won't stop searching until both of you are found.

Even if the Autobots save you some how, now both Decepticons are competing on who can locate you first.

Ever since meeting Starscream... your fate has been sealed.

You fear it may be too late to escape once both of the Decepticons are attached.

[lets-try-some-writing]

I had the most dumb yet sensible thought when it comes to your Pretender AU. Megatron discovering ways to deal with Optimus accidentally through human media. Particularly horror media like The Thing, Among Us, Bloodborne, Alien, SCP and such.

A thing that Soundwave would stumble upon by accident before realizing this could come in handy and share with it the other Decepticons. It's kinda ironic in a way. Organics having what could be the key to handling this entire mess through their entertainment based media.

Plus they probably look to YouTube for channels like Roanoke Gaming who discusses the various intricacies like mythology, biology and such on media creatures such as Xenomorphs.

Oh goodness this is FUNNY.

Previous part here.

This is kinda crack so honestly its up in the ether plot relevance wise.

━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙ ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙

The Pretenders tried to flee Cybertron as soon as they deemed the planet unsuitable. Megatron wanted to scoff when he caught wind of the Pretend Prime and his entourage fleeing the sector. He had every intention of ruling Cybertron and left more than enough soldiers behind to tend to the planet in his absence, but he simply could not allow the Pretenders to go. If they got any ground anywhere, they would spread and be back.

The Pretender Prime had long since proven to be capable of holding a grudge, and Megatron was in no mood to shove the issue under the rug until it came back to bite him. As such, he collected his inner circle, Jazz included, and boarded the Nemesis. He set course for the planet the Pretenders were headed toward with grim determination, and upon landing, he almost wanted to scream due to the sheer amount of organic everything. It reminded him of the Pretenders and he despised being on the ground.

Thus, while his subordinates did everything in their power to root out the Pretenders wherever they were rooted on the planet of Earth, Megatron delved into the human datanet with Soundwave at his side. Jazz joined them on occasion, and through this shared effort, they discovered possible methods to combat their foes that they never would have expected. The ideas were... a tad outlandish. But having tried just about everything else under the sun to kill their enemies, the Decepticons were willing to make an attempt to follow the potential solutions provided.

Having watched "Earnest Scared Stupid" one time, the Vehicons attempted to deal with the Pretenders through the use of milk. It was a one time effort, and the Pretenders were more dumbfounded than actually upset at the milk that was tossed all over them. Seeing as they didn't melt into goo, the Vehicons ran screaming.

Jazz made a valiant attempt to use voodoo magic a handful of times, which ended up resulting in a small storage closet being filled to the brim with collections of dolls stuffed with needles. He also tried a few banishing rituals just for the kick of it. And surprisingly, after one of his attempts which involved an offering the some demon Jazz never bothered to remember, Arcee ended up stepping into a hole and breaking her leg. Since then Jazz has occasionally repeated the ritual just to see if anything else happens.

Starscream saw several movies and decided that water might be a possible way to combat the Pretenders. Being the most reliable flier, he took to the air and decided that Arcee would be the best target. He picked her up, and making sure to wear gloves so as to not actually touch her, he threw her into the nearest body of water and waited above. Arcee for her part flailed and got out with a hiss of indignation, her plating flaring and her extra limbs extending so that she could shake off the liquid. The most Starscream got for his efforts was a dirty look, but his work was applauded when he returned to the Nemesis. Touching a Pretender was always a dangerous risk to take.

Megatron opted for a slightly more... violent solution. He had attempted chemical warfare, bombing, outright attacks, poison, and even manufactured diseases to fight back against his foes. None of his efforts so much as gave him a reasonable weakness to use against them. While young, Pretenders were easy to kill. But after that all he really had to target was their familial connections. There were no physical defects to attack or use against them. They adapted, and as much as he was loath to admit it, they were disgustingly superior when it came to most physical activities. They were resistant to just about everything too. So really there were only two options in his mind.

The Pretenders operated similarly to organics. And according to what he saw, two things that killed organics most often were freezing cold and fire. Thus, his vehicons were given flamethrowers for a time and when the opportunity arose, Optimus was thrown into the arctic for observation. The vehicons for their part managed to make the Pretenders scatter, but fire did nothing against them that it didn't do for a normal Cybertronian. The freezing on the other hand? Freezing could kill a bot, at least in a moist environment. But against the odds, as soon as Optimus found he couldn't escape on his own, the Prime dug a hole into the ground and curled up into a ball, his frame stilling. For a moment Megatron thought he might have won, but then as soon as the other Pretenders came to get him, they dragged the Prime out and back to their base. Within a week he was up and moving again.

The monsters could hibernate it seemed. And that terrified Megatron more than he cared to admit.

The Decepticons only true success came when Soundwave decided to attempt using sound to their advantage. The Pretenders were incredibly sensitive, their optics, audials, and olfactory systems all primed for hunting. Seeing "The Quiet Place", Soundwave noted the similarities between the Pretenders and the Angels and opted to make an attempt at using the same attack against their foes. To the surprise of everyone, he...

Succeeded.

When Soundwave played music on just the right frequency on the battlefield, the Pretenders began to scream. Their frames shifted, their disguises falling away and simultaneously being forced back into place. Unable to control their frames fully, they could only thrash and fight like wild animals as their senses were assaulted from all sides. It was not enough to kill them, but the weakness was swiftly acknowledged and abused.

It wasn't much, but it was something.

Another step closer to victory.
