Are You Willing To Write Dratchrod?

Are you willing to write Dratchrod?

Yes I am.

I feel like Soundwave suddenly being very submissive would be an interesting change, and Hot Rod would get all confused about why his mate is like this.

The two were making out except something was wrong. Soundwave's field and touch felt off. Unlike usual his hands didn't know where to touch him.

He shifted away from him. Feeling confused and uncomfortable. He asked Soundwave about it. But he dismissed him saying that he didn't want to interface, which was fine.

However over the next few days it felt like he was pulling away from him. He wasn't acting like his usual self and he found himself getting worried.

Whenever he tried to talk about it. Soundwave would always act like nothing was wrong or ignore him. It hurt and he wondered if Soundwave didn't love him anymore.

The more he brought it up the most frustrated Soundwave would become. Telling him to stop being insecure. Even though it was all he could think about.

Soundwave never interfaced with him anymore. They used to interface almost every day and now. He never even touched him. He never kissed him or snuggled with him. He was now sleeping in another room. Leaving him to a cold empty bed too large for one person.

He tried asking if they could go on dates and Soundwave turned him down wanting to be alone. He wouldn't watch movies with him and when he woke up Soundwave was already gone. When Soundwave came home from work he'd already eaten and didn't want to have dinner with him.

He also worked all the time and it seemed like he was trying to do everything he could to get out of the house and away from him. He was distraught and didn't know what to do. He felt like a horrible Conjunx and didn't know how to make it better.

He couldn't sleep or eat. All he did was worry and it was making him sick. He tried to give Soundwave space and understanding, but it was hard especially when he wouldn't even look at him.

He was terrified Soundwave was going to leave him and kept trying to find ways to fix it. Only for Soundwave to become even more distant if that was possible.

He was sitting in his office trying not to cry. When he heard commotion outside. Rushing out he was shocked to find two Soundwave's fighting.

The Soundwave who appeared to be injured was yelling at the other one. Accusing them of being a fake.

He stepped forward and the injured Soundwave turned to him looking worried.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

He stared at him in confusion because that was the most he's said to him in days.

"What did you do to him?"

The injured Soundwave glared engine revving.

"Which one is the real Soundwave?"

The growing crowd looked back and forth not sure which one they should attack. The injured one looked back at him the two made optic contact and he felt his spark spin in his chest.

"That one's the real Soundwave."

He pointed at the injured one and the other Soundwave gave him an annoyed look as he shape shifted into makeshift. He lundged at Soundwave and was immediately stunned and arrested.

He collapsed in exhaustion. Sinking to the floor he felt relieved that it had been a fake all along and also guilty. He'd been so worried about Soundwave breaking up with him he didn't even realize it was a fake.

Ignoring his injuries. The real one wrapped his arms around him pulling him into his lap and he broke down. Letting the last few weeks wash over him as he sobbed. Soundwave held him the entire time as he clung to him. Until his body eventually gave out and he fell unconscious.

Worried Soundwave took him to the medbay where Ratchet checked them both over. Soundwave needed some repairs and Ratchet wanted him to stay overnight. Hot Rod on the other hand would need to stay a few days. His body desperately needing nutrients and recharge.

Soundwave and Hot Rod are spotted making love

He felt someone grab him and pull him into an alleyway. He tried to shout for help when a hand clasped around his mouth.

Looking over he was surprised to find Soundwave. Wiggling away, he glared at the Decepticon.

"What are you doing here?"

"I needed to see you."

Soundwave pressed him against a wall and he moaned. Feeling his spoiler rub against the wall.

Soundwave smirked and he lightly hit his chest while glaring.

"Shut up."

The two made out and he felt Soundwave's hands explore his body.

Both of them were desperate after so long and he whined needing so much more.

Soundwave grabbed his legs and lifted him up. The two continued to make out and he grinded his modesty panel against Soundwave.

The Decepticon groaned. Leaving a trail of bite marks against his neck.

"Open up."

He brushed his hand against his modesty panel and he heard it click open. Moaning when Soundwave stuck a finger inside.

"So wet and eager for me."

He nodded kissing Soundwave as he stretched him with his fingers.

Reaching down he touched his modesty panel wanting to feel his spike.

"Please I need you."

Soundwave opened his spike covering and he wrapped his hand around it. Feeling as it got bigger in his hand.

Unable to take it anymore. He pressed his valve against Soundwave desperate for more. Soundwave pulled him closer and sank inside of him.

He moaned. Leaning his head back against the wall and clinging to Soundwave as he fragged him.

"Hot Rod!?"

He looked over. Feeling embarrassed when he saw his carrier watching with a shocked expression on his face. Looking about ready to crash.

"What are you doing with him of all people out in public where anyone could see!?"

He winced looking at Soundwave who looked more annoyed than bothered. Perceptor continued to look shocked and he decided to make a run for it.

He forced himself off Soundwave's spike. Which was a travesty because it felt so good inside of him. Hidden behind Soundwave's large frame. He closed both their panels. Having to force Soundwave's spike back inside because he was still horny somehow.

He then grabbed his hand and took off. The two of them running away and ignoring his carrier who was shouting at him to come back.

He let Soundwave take him to the Decepticon side. Where they hung out for a few days until his carrier forced him back home and forbade him from seeing Soundwave. Not that it stopped him.

I love your stories. Its something i look forward to everyday. I left two long asks just now & probably about to leave a third.

Love your work.

Set in the transformers prime universe. You have to admit that soundwave is so attractive.

Maybe it’s Rodimus or Hot rod whichever you pick, who lands on Earth by accident. He wanted nothing to do with the war since he recognized it was pointless after the loss of their home world and neither backing down from what was now a personal fight rather than wanting the betterment for their respective sides.

Rodimus or hot rod was known for having joined the autobots side after the fall of Nyon but was even more known for his deep involvement and refusal to hurt Soundwave. The cons could see why the two never raised a blaster or claw to each other but the autobots couldn’t.

When his ship crashed he was badly injured and accidentally sent a distressed spark signal that both parties felt and recognized as a carrier in need.

Soundwave dropped everything and opened a warpgate directly besides hot rod/rodimus and immediately made grunting noises despite his oath as he tore apart the wreckage looking for his conjunx and spark mate.

Megatron already knew by the pulse of a carriers spark that it was soundwaves mate and ordered Knockout and breakdown to prep the medbay for a carrier and potential sparkling.

Just as Soundwave was about to reach Hot rod/rodimus Optimus himself emerged from a warpgate with ratchet and immediately fired at soundwave who sent out a sound pulse so violent it knocked the two back and took some of their finish off their frames before knocking them unconscious.

Hot rod/rodimus made a noise of distress and pain and Soundwave lifted him from the rubble feeling his spark latch on to his conjunx and the tiny life he realized he left within Rodimus/hot rod at their last meeting before coming to earth.

He rushed Hot rod/rodimus into the warp gate and took him to Knockout and breakdown and didn’t leave his side for a nano klik.

The sparkling was alive and needed transfluid donations but it was hot rod/rodimus who was in worse shape. Turns out he fled from an autobot ship that found out about the sparkling he was keeping secret. He was trying to reach a neutral territory when he ended up crash landing after being shot down since he was deemed a con carrying traitor.

Rodimus/hot rods tanks looked swollen like he was sparked but it was the beginning stages. Soundwave was understandably pissed and when Hot rod/rodimus woke up he was fearful and surprised. He didn’t know how soundwave would take the news and he was worried for his sparkling.

Soundwave gave him the transfluid donation he needed after making sure hot rod/rodimus understood to never keep a secret from him again and that his place was beside soundwave.

The nemesis now has to get used to having a carrier onboard and Soundwave being ten times scarier than usual on accident as he looms behind Rodimus/hot rod who can’t help his instincts demand he take care of the bots on board that don’t get enough fuel or recharge or have too much stress.

Megatron is very noticeably a lot less of a tyrant and more the freedom fighter he used to be while Starscream all together stops trying to murder their leader and settles for enjoying the attention of a carrier.

Breakdown has a new friend he can’t be rough with and knockout has someone just as pretty as he is who he can polish.

They all collectively don’t go near soundwave’s hab at night because of the telling clangs and headboard knocking.

They don’t want to picture their surrogate carrier getting fragged by a terrifying mech

"Please don't do this! Just let us go!"

He panicked begging the Autobots to let him go. He struggled against the handcuffs. Looking over in fear. He could see one of them holding a large knife.

"Please. Don't kill them."

"This was the choice you made. Fraternizing with the enemy is a capital offense. The thing inside of you is an abomination and needs to be exterminated.

"No their innocent!"

He sobbed. One of them growled slapping him in the face so hard he felt dizzy.

"That thing is part Decepticon. There is nothing innocent about it. Decepticons must be exterminated even half breeds like the thing inside of you."

"This is going to hurt a lot. Because you don't deserve pain meds for your crimes. But don't worry afterwards when we purge you of the halfbreed. We've got some special doctors here who'll make you all better."

He glanced over at the mnemosurgeon who grinned down at him.

"After my surgery you'll never love him or any Decepticon again."

"No! Stop!"

He struggled optics wide in terror.

Around him the Autobots ignored him as they prepared for surgery. He sobbed feeling the life inside of him that was going to be killed too soon.

"Our planet may be gone but our species will live on through carriers like you, but first we have to make you perfect."

He kept struggling when the ship was attacked. Alarms blared as the room shook. The Autobots cursed going to see what was happening.

He looked around desperately. Searching for a way to free himself. The cuffs he was wearing stopped him from using his outlier ability.

Noticing a knife laying nearby. He reached for it. Using the very end of his fingers. He struggled to push it closer.

"Come on just a little more."

He struggled. Sighing when he grabbed the knife. He then used it to free one of his hands and was about to free the other. When the door opened. His hand fell to his side. Spark pounding as he watched the mnemosurgeon. Hoping he didn't notice the knife laying nearby.

He looked angry about something and was cursing the Decepticons for ruining his plans. Walking over to him his optics widened when he saw his knives out.

"I won't let them take you from me. You're mine."

The mnemosurgeon leaned closer and he grabbed the knife stabbing them in the neck.

He quickly sat up pulling off the hand and feet cuffs, as the surgeon fell to the ground. Blood squirting from their neck as they choked on it.

He kicked him in the face on the way out because no one threatens to hurt his sparkling and gets away with it. Opening the door he easily took care of the guards stabbing them both.

He then ran down the hallway, looking at the other prison cells. They were all empty except for one. Opening the door his carrier gave him a relieved look.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

He quickly broke the cuffs and his carrier looked him over making sure he wasn't injured.

"Did they hurt you?"

"They didn't get a chance. Are you okay?"

"Yes. I heard they were giving you the surgery first... And I was worried."

"Let's get out of here."

He wrapped his carriers arm around his shoulder and helped lead him to the escape pods. Occasionally the ship would shake from whatever the Decepticons were doing.

"I'm so sorry Hot Rod."

"It's not your fault."

He quickly reassured. Knowing his carrier felt guilty for having him. Because he'd be a tank carrier and would always be at risk.

In the optics of some they were an abomination that needed to be exterminated. Unless they could exploit it for their own gain.

Trying not to think about it. He focused on getting to the escape pods.

They ran into a few more guards. Which he quickly disposed of with the help of his carrier who took their weapons.

"We need to hurry. I don't know how long we have until this ship goes down."

When they finally made it to the escape pods they both sighed in relief. He helped his carrier inside and was about to climb in when he was grabbed.

"Not so fast. You two aren't getting away so easily."

He felt the guard squeeze his spoiler painfully and he struggled against them. His carrier shouted trying to reach for him.

"Hot Rod!"

"Step out of the escape pod now."

The guard ordered and he could see his carrier struggling to stand. Looking at the launch pad, he made a quick decision. Kicking it as hard as he could.

His carriers optics widened in realization as he yelled.

"No!"

Before being launched into space. The guard cursed looking angry as he shook him.

"You little brat. If you weren't so valuable I'd kill you for that."

The guard tried dragging him out of the room and he acted quickly. Stabbing them in the chest. They shot him in the arm which he barely noticed as the two struggled.

He fell to the ground. Hitting his head with the guards body on top. Pushing him off. He staggered into the nearest escape pod.

He'd just closed the door when more guards ran in and started shooting at the pod trying to stop it from ejecting.

One of their bullets hit the control panels causing it to spark.

He was suddenly ejected. Except instead of going to Cybertron. He was being taken somewhere else.

Around him sirens blared as he tried to fix the destination.

"No. No. No."

He felt a weird sensation through his body and then he was knocked unconscious.

Soundwave was working on the monitors like usual. When he got an alert coming from a crashed escape pod with an Autobot signal.

He went to tell Megatron, because whoever this mysterious Autobot is they could be trouble.

Megatron ordered a small team to assemble.

"Soundwave. You are the leader of this operation. Find out who this mysterious Autobot is."

He nodded, opening up a ground bridge. He along with some vehicons walked out securing the area.

Weapons drawn they surveyed the scene. Looking at the escape pod he could see an Autobot mark on it.

He could also see that it had been damaged from the crash. Walking closer. He looked into the glass and took a step back in surprise. Almost making a sound despite his vow of silence.

Using his tentacles he immediately opened the pod throwing the door to the side. He stared at Hot Rod in shock and awe. He thought he was dead after losing contact with him just before he went to Earth.

He mourned him. Wanting to end his life and return to the all spark. The only thing stopping him was Laserbeak who'd lost everyone but him. He couldn't do that to her.

Somehow he forced himself to live. Even though every day was agony without Hot Rod by his side. Now by some miracle he'd been returned to him.

He looked him over. Taking in all of his injuries that would need medical attention.

He carefully picked him up. The vehicons going silent when they realized who it was.

Although Hot Rod had chosen the Autobots he never stopped loving him. They promised to never hurt each other. In case the war ended they didn't want their relationship to he completely destroyed.

Besides neither of them could hurt the other. They both loved each other too much. Despite being in different factions. Hot Rod was the love of his life and he'd always love him not matter what.

He stroked his cheek. Admiring his beautiful mate. Even though they were on opposite sides. They still found ways to meet up. They never shared any information about either side. They'd snuggle together. Reminding each other they were still alive and despite everything they would always love each other.

Megatron wanting to know what was happening sent him a message. He quickly told him the details and could feel his surprise through the message.

Megatron was aware of their relationship. Making sure Hot Rod was never injured during battles.

When they bonded Megatron had been their witness. It had been after a hard month.

They'd both had near fatal encounters while doing their jobs and needed each other. Realizing life was short and they never knew what was going to happen. They decided to bond their sparks together.

He was brought out of his thoughts by Hot Rod waking up. He moaned in pain. His field fluctuating as he reached out.

His optics widened when he felt a small unfamiliar light next to his beloveds. He stared in awe when he realized what it was.

Before he could reach out and feel his little one the Autobots showed up.

He glared, as Optimus fired at him. Acting all heroic as he told him to get away from his carrying mate.

Ratchet stood behind him taking in Hot Rods state and acting like he was the one who caused those injuries. Which he would never do. He'd rather kill himself than hurt his mate.

Ratchet turned to Optimus as though he was worried about Hot Rods safety and told him to get Hot Rod away from him. Which wasn't going to happen.

Worried about his mate getting hurt. He tried to open a ground bridge and at least get him out of there. Not wanting to put him or their sparkling in harms way. Of course the Autobots wouldn't let him and continued shooting.

Ignoring how they were putting one of their own in danger. When Optimus almost shot Hot Rod he realized they weren't trying to protect him. They were trying to keep Hot Rod away from him by any means necessary.

Angry they dared to hurt his mate. He used a sonic blast to blast them away. Causing some of their paint to fall off, as they were knocked unconscious by the blast. Hot Rod whimpered and he opened another ground bridge immediately rushing inside. Uncaring of Optimus or Ratchet as long as they stayed away from his family.

Knockout and Breakdown were already waiting for him. Megatron having called them in advance and telling them to prepare the medbay.

He carried Hot Rod to the medbay. Being as gentle as possible not wanting to make his injuries worse. Megatron followed after them. Worried about Hot Rod. Who'd been his friend before the war.

He informed them of Hot Rods condition while Breakdown and Knockout worked. Wanting them to be careful in fear of them hurting the new spark.

Megatron was surprised to learn Hot Rod was sparked and congratulated him through comms.

He nodded holding Hot Rods hand. Ignoring the looks Knockout and Breakdown shared.

The damage to Hot Rod was extensive. Not all of it was from the crash which made him angry.

When he found whoever hurt his mate he was going to make them pay.

Staying by Hot Rods side the entire time. He watched as Breakdown and Knockout worked on repairing his mate. Being careful not to hurt the sparkling.

When they were done, they left him to rest. While he sat by his side, waiting for him to wake up. Never leaving his side.

Hot Rod was out for a few hours before he finally woke up. Letting him see his beautiful blue optics.

"Hot Rod."

He stood up and his mate turned to him. Looking confused and disoriented.

"Are you really here?"

"Yes. I'm here."

He squeezed his hand and Hot Rod began to cry while reaching for his stomach.

"Is my--"

"The sparkling is fine. Although it needs transfluid donations. Something I will happily deal with when we get the chance."

"Where are we?"

"On the nemesis. You crash landed on a planet called Earth. Which is where we are staying for now."

"Is my carrier here?"

He frowned shaking his head.

"No. Why?"

"We'd been captured together."

"Captured? By who!?"

He looked at his mate startled. Because all the Decepticons should know better than to touch his mate.

"Autobots. They found out you were the sire and tried to kill our sparkling. They were kidnapping carriers and wanted to force them to have sparklings."

He growled. His tentacles snapping at the very idea.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

"I managed to escape with Perceptor. We got separated when we were trying to leave the ship."

Hot Rod looked sad likely thinking of his carrier.

"He could still be alive. Our people are spread all over the galaxy. Those who are here are just a small number."

Hot Rod nodded and he rubbed his spoiler soothingly.

"I wanted to tell you. I'd been planning on telling you until I was captured."

"It's okay. You're here now. I won't let the Autobots hurt you or our sparkling."

His mate nodded looking exhausted and he let him rest.

When he was feeling better and Knockout released him from the medbay. He carried him back to his room ignoring the crews stares.

Laying Hot Rod down the two made out. Exploring each other's bodies. They were both eager to reunite after so long.

He spent the night filling his mate with transfluid. Making sure he felt loved as the two came together. Reunited at last.

With Hot Rod here. It felt like everything fell into place. He was no longer an Autobot. Disgusted with his cause for trying to kill his sparkling.

He changed the Decepticons for the better. They didn't even realize how far they'd lost track of their goals. Until Hot Rod was there to remind them.

Megatron stopped using dark energon and got rid of any remnants onboard. Worried about it harming the sparkling which Hot Rod was grateful for.

After all these years the two seemed to pick up their friendship. Megatron's temper began to lessen. Not wanting to hurt Hot Rod or the sparkling.

Hot Rod who was unable to fight. Spent his days helping the crew.

Everyone seemed to be calmer. Starscream schemed a lot less. Letting Hot Rod groom him and take care of him in a way he hasn't had since his trine mates were alive.

His seeker instincts telling him their was a carrier who needed protection and to be looked after.

Knockout loved working on his paint job. He always wanted a sparkling but with the war he never had the chance.

The two would talk about racing and automobiles. Hot Rod even showed him a brush made specifically in Nyon. Which was helpful in getting small areas that were hard to reach. Something Knockout was excited to use.

Breakdown was happy his Conjunx was happy. He also liked being taken care of just like the rest of the crew.

The vehicons were often times doted on. Hot Rods instincts pushing him to take care of everyone. After battles he'd cuddle with them in his nest. Letting them vent as he looked after them.

The Decepticons benefited a lot from having Hot Rod around. Especially Soundwave who was never far from his mate.

While Hot Rod helped the crew. Soundwave would stand behind him as his threatening shadow. Making sure his mate and new spark were safe and being taken care of.

He was somehow scarier and not as scary at the same time now that Hot Rod was around. He was more protective and the crew saw him a lot more but whenever it came to Hot Rod he always seemed to melt. Putting a protective hand on his belly or lower back. Wanting to make sure everyone knew that Hot Rod was his.

He was also more relaxed and less stressed. He didn't even realize he'd been burning himself out until Hot Rod got here and forced him to take breaks.

Hot Rod needed a lot of transfluid to make sure their sparkling was happy and Soundwave was always happy to help. The crew always made sure to stay far away when that happened because those two were very enthusiastic.

Despite Hot Rod being sparked he was still able to interface for a long time. Megatron was suddenly reminded of the time he lived together with Soundwave when they were both gladiators.

The entire crew was determined to end the war quickly. Wanting to get revenge for the Autobots trying to kill Hot Rods sparkling and not wanting the sparkling to grow up in a war.

Perceptor and Deadend Found out that Hotrod and Soundwave has been making out.

"What are you working on?"

Dead End leaned against the wall watching Perceptor work.

"I'm trying to find a way to crack the Quintessons code."

"Oh."

He looked around noticing a commotion nearby. They both watched as Hot Rod and Soundwave left the training room. Seeming a little closer than before.

He was going to ignore them because he didn't care. It was obvious what they'd been doing, but it also wasn't his problem.

He turned back to Perceptor who made a noise of surprise. Before pulling Hot Rod away from Soundwave which was unnecessary. He hasn't done anything dangerous, since he asked Clobber to kill Hot Rod.

He didn't think anyone could die from interfacing. Although who knows. Maybe Soundwave was so terrible at it. That for the first time ever. Someone could die from terrible interfacing. Internally he smirked at the very idea.

"Stay away from my bitty."

"Carrier."

Hot Rod complained as Perceptor looked him over.

"We were just training?"

"Training!?"

Perceptor gave them a look of disbelief.

"You have a hickey on your neck. I don't remember training ever involving making out."

Both Soundwave and Hot Rod froze. The latter looking embarrassed at being caught.

"I don't want you seeing him anymore."

"But carrier."

"No buts. He's still a Decepticon even if we're at peace right now and he's not good enough for you."

Hot Rod tried to argue but Perceptor was already dragging him away. Once they were gone he glanced at Soundwave.

"Hot Rod really?"

"I could say the same thing about you and Perceptor."

"Touche. Although we haven't done anything yet."

"Then you better get on that. I don't want him to interrupt us."

Soundwave walked away, leaving him all alone. He stood there in disbelief wondering if Soundwave hit his head or something. Perceptor was terrifying when he wanted to be and he'd already told Soundwave to stay away. Next time he'd probably try to shoot him or something.

Hot Rod slapping a Quintesson Prosecutors because he’s just so done with everything. The Quintesson Prosecutors then acts like a sad dog and follows Hot Rod around.

Everyone thinks that Hot Rod has gone crazy and Soundwave is impressed.

Thanks

He was arguing with Soundwave while the others watched. They were supposed to be looking for supplies but Soundwave was acting like he was the leader.

"Useless Autobot. I should be the one in charge."

"No way. I've been leading this team since the start."

"And you've been doing a bad job."

"How dare you? I've been doing a great job. I freed you after all."

"It was an accident. You did nothing."

"Should we stop them?"

Clobber looked between the two who continued to argue. Completely oblivious to the world around them.

"Nah this is entertaining."

Perceptor gave Dead End an unimpressed look.

"They're making too much noise. The Quintessons are going to realize we're here."

"Too late."

Whirl pointed with one of his claws.

"You were supposed to be on guard duty."

"I was."

He gestured towards the Quintesson who snarled. Having managed to sneak inside while Whirl was busy watching them argue.

"Look out!"

Perceptor tried to warn. Hot Rod who was frustrated with Soundwave and done with the situation in general. Turned around and slapped the Quintesson in the face causing them to rear back making a sound of pain and surprise.

"Shut up all of you! I can't hear myself think!"

Hot Rod stormed off and the Quintesson looked between all of them and Hot Rod. It ended up following after him and he stood up going to stop it from attacking Hot Rod. When Soundwave stopped him by trying to take over.

He managed to get away when he started glitching. Not even bothering to help him and it seemed the Decepticons didn't want to help either. Because they walked away going back to Maccadams.

"Should we?"

"Do whatever you want."

He turned away going to find Hot Rod and Whirl joined him. Soundwave can stay stuck in the loop for all he cares. Serves him right for being such a jerk.

He found Hot Rod sitting by himself with the Quintessons head in his lap, looking up at him as he pet the beast.

He stared in shock and tried to reach for him and get him away from the Quintesson.

"Hot Rod what are you doing?"

"Hmm. I just needed some time to myself."

"Get away from that thing. It's dangerous."

"He's not dangerous. He's actually kind of cute in a weird way."

Hot Rod pet the beast who leaned into his touch.

"Come on we need to get out of here."

"Where's everyone else?"

"Probably already at Maccadams. Except for Soundwave he's still frozen at the warehouse we'd been exploring."

"What? Why would you leave him there?"

He stood up and the beast huffed looking annoyed that he was moving around.

"We need to go get him, it's not safe."

"He was being a jerk."

"Leaving him is not the Autobot way."

He went back to the warehouse and found Soundwave sitting on the floor looking exhausted.

"Look who finally decided to show up."

He spit out. Not even glancing at him.

"I didn't know they left you behind."

"Why'd you come back?"

"They shouldn't have done that."

Soundwave finally looked up and was surprised to see a Quintesson behind him. He raised his weapon and he got between them.

"Don't shoot he's friendly."

"Friendly?"

Soundwave gave him a disbelieving look and he shrugged.

"I don't know. I guess I tamed it somehow and now it's following me around like a lost Cyberpuppy."

Soundwave looked like he wanted to be annoyed. Except he couldn't help but be impressed. Somehow he'd managed to tame one of those things. Which could help them defeat the enemy.

"You can keep your pet as long as it doesn't get in the way."

He stood up already walking away. Hot Rod grumbled behind him.

"I was going to keep him regardless of what you said."

Perceptor tried to protest but Hot Rod had made up his mind. Soundwave wanted his own and Whirl thought it was cool. Even though the Quintesson would try to attack him every time he tried to pet it.

Since he couldn't keep it at Maccadams it became a guard dog of sorts alerting them if anyone came near.
