Laserbeak - Tumblr Posts
The delivery here made me laugh so hard... I'm glad Laserbeak has a voice here even if it's just for this one line.
RANDOM THOUGHT:
Laserbeak likes to tease Soundwave about his little quirks! He’ll obnoxiously purr whenever Soundwave and him are alone in their shared habsuite or will act out himself dying of overworking just to piss Soundwave off(it usually works).
Laserbeak also knows how to get whatever he wants from Soundwave. Want an Energon treat but Soundwave refuses? Simply start shrieking like an Earth bird nonstop until Soundwave chucks the stupid sweet into his face/visor thingy.
Of course, he would never do those in public for 3 reasons:
He respects his carrier too much for that
It would give away his persona of only being a non-sentient drone
Soundwave is a ruthless punisher; Laserbeak knows this best.
Overall, Laserbeak is a pain in the aft and Soundwave doesn’t know why he keeps the stupid bird around.
I’M FUCKING DYING. THIS IS CANON, NO ARGUMENT WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
Megatron would probs end up causing some big controversy during one of his rants or he gets cancelled on twitter for attacking a city or sumn and he has to make a youtuber apology video
He would try to get cancelled. This guy has been getting cancelled his entire life. Megatron would cackle in glee upon seeing his name trending.
A very stressed Soundwave would then tell Megatron to try and "make amends with his new subjects." Megatron would agree and make the worst apology video in existence.
Megatron is sitting cross-legged on the floor on a fluffy carpet in the room of a suburban house. No, the Nemesis does not have any carpet anywhere in it (except the Home Depot carpet samples Laserbeak likes to play with). Yes, Megatron seized control of someone's home in order to film an apology video in some teen girl's bedroom. He felt that filming it somewhere with fairy lights, white carpet, and mandala tapestries would make it "more authentic." It just makes it less convincing.
The authorities show up outside this captured suburban house. Oh, and the Autobots. I almost forgot about them. The red and blue flashes of cop lights are seen flashing in the room.
Megatron sniffles. "knock out please shut the curtains, we need the lighting to be just right for this video."
curtain clattering noises
Then, seconds later:
"KNOCK OUT STOP POSING IN THE WINDOW"
The camerawork is awful. We at first just get a look at Megatron's crossed knees. He then grabs the camera with both talons and tilts it up as the focus rapidly goes in and out. He's genuinely awful with cameras so it requires no effort to produce camerawork this poor. It's one of those early 2000s cameras your mom would film you opening Christmas presents with. Soundwave is struggling to resist the urge to take control of the camera and is doing deep breathing exercises.
There are splashing noises outside. Laserbeak is playing in the pool.
Megatron then zooms in too much and gives everybody a far too close look at his forehead. Since he's made of metal his forehead is shiny and you can see Soundwave and Starscream behind the camera in the reflection. Soundwave has his faceplate held in his servos. Starscream is poking the color-changing fairy lights. He... kind of likes them.
"i am sorry i attacked the eastern seaboard," Megatron says with a wheeze before then breaking out into a coughing fit. "and the western one," megatron adds. "also the southern one."
Starscream's voice is heard from the background. "What 'southern seaboard'?!"
"i attacked some country's south coast. not sure which one. but i am sorry for that one too.
Optimus's voice is heard booming outside. "MEGATRON. STOP THIS TYRANNY AND LET THE HUMANS AND THEIR HOUSE GO."
"my haters are outside."
Megatron begins crying fake tears. He can't produce them naturally because he's a severely dehydrated son of a bitch. Breakdown is offscreen spritzing him with a spray bottle in the hopes it will produce a convincing fake tear effect.
Megatron then grabs the camera with both talons, shoots up to his pedes, and then angrily point at the camera as he does a 180:
"FALSE. I regret nothing. It's not my fault you charlatans can't build cities that can't handle me taking a leisurely stroll through them!"
Megatron accidentally destroyed a Wal-Mart when he got high on dark energon and walked through it. This is somehow Wal-Mart's fault.
Optimus rips the wall down, barges in, and the next ten minutes of the video is them fighting each other. Soundwave grabs the camera and the camerawork is actually really good!
Starscream flies off with bundles of fairy lights attached to his wings. They're still changing colors.
39 w/ TFP Soundwave (sorry for not adding a name the first time)
Thank you for the ask! Not gonna lie, I didn't know what to write at first, so I held back on answering this. Then, when I finally got an idea and was just about finished, my computer died and erased everything! :D
I remember most of what I wrote, though, so it didn't take too long to rewrite it!
STARVE
Stupid Autobot humans, putting him into this whole mess. His leader is dead (killed by a scout no less), the Decepticons are captured, and he's stuck in this "shadowzone" with no apparent way out. Everything he tries to touch phases through his digits, almost as if he's a ghost, forced to watch his world crash and burn without being able to do anything. Even worse, his visor can't connect to the Nemesis's terminals anymore, so he can't remotely summon a groundbridge anymore either.
At least Laserbeak is here. She's been flying around for the last half a joor trying to help him find an exit while also keeping his mind from spiraling into unnecessary thoughts. Her beeps and squawks serve as a soothing background, helping him focus on figuring out a way to escape...whatever they put him in.
How did the humans figure this out before him? They're an inferior species to cybertronians, especially him. He's the third in command of the Decepticons, for Primus's sake!
Before he can dwell anymore on them, however, he gets an alert from his visor stating his and Laserbeak's energon levels. His anxiety rises even higher when he sees a blaring 62 percent looking back at him, as if mocking him even further about his situation. While he's got two more cubes of energon on him, he knows they won't last forever. He hurriedly signals Laserbeak to return. With a quick double barrel turn, she flies towards her creator and docks into his chassis with eons of practice. When she finishes, he doesn't even move an inch.
With his creation back, he opens one of the cubes and they drink about half, topping off his and Laserbeak's energon levels. With a quick reseal, he stows away the cube and focuses on the task in servo: getting the frag out of here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many solar cycles pass by and Soundwave's anxiety and frustration over his predicament grow. Laserbeak is worried now, too. No matter what he tries to calm her down, her anxiety comes back stronger, and she can't help but beep and squawk worriedly. They're also on their last half a cube, and an insistent 42 percent blaring from his visor isn't helping.
Trying to ease some of their shared tensions, he makes the begrudging decision to finish off their energon. He quickly opens the cube and drinks about half of what's left, then offers the rest to Laserbeak to finish. She oddly shakes her helm in refusal, though. He tries offering the cube to her more insistently, but he's met with the same shaking of her helm, squawking her denial loudly. Frustration seeps through his end of the bond towards hers. He demands to know why she's refusing to refuel, especially in a situation like this. With her helm held high, she beeps her explanation to him.
Soundwave freezes.
He's frozen for a good half a breem before he can finally move, but all he does is sit down on the cold, grey floor. He can't believe what Laserbeak is trying to do. He tries to reason with her, telling her that they'll escape, she's just got to be more patient. Laserbeak's sullen rebuttal though grates his audials and shatters what's left of his spark after four million years of war. He refuses to let her carry through with her decision, but no matter what he does, she doesn't refuel.
Laserbeak's lowering energon levels make his optics sting. Despite her frame weakening, she holds her helm high, just like Soundwave taught her when she was first sparked. He desperately tries making her change her decision, but his pleas are met on deaf audials.
Laserbeak detaches from his chassis. She weakly flies into his arms and pushes her field full of devotion and love into his. Soundwave wraps his slender arms and data cables around her, squeezing her tight. Laserbeak beeps weakly towards him, wanting to let him know that she'll be waiting for him in the Allspark along with Buzzsaw, Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy.
As her beeps and squawks quiet, Soundwave's frame trembles and he has to take off his visor to let the tears that started to pool behind it fall onto her small frame.
With a last little squawk filled with love for her creator, her visor darkens, and her frame turns grey and motionless.
Soundwave can't seem to breathe. It's like all of his systems have stopped, but he himself is still trying to go forward. This time, without Laserbeak.

I love his design in the WfC/FoC games
This scene where they screamed their lungs out was really... breathtaking. B)
Earthspark WIP
So I got inspired by Charlie XCX's song speed drive, the one from the barbie movie. It just popped into my head that I think Earthspark Frenzy would love that song.
So I got to thinking, what if frenzy was the one in the MV?
Then I wanted to add Ravage and Lazerbeak, to complete the minicon gang.
So my plan is to have it all monochrome pink! Because barbie movie and all
Might add the car seen in the MV into the background, not sure. Might even add Soundwave if I can find a way to make it work
gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful.
“Go forth with pride, dignity, and determination–but above all, go forth with DEFIANCE.”
Adorable. Soundwave is too precious i swear.
HIS LITTLE LAUGH
Soundwave getting stuck in the shadow zone after attempting to defeat tarn.
After defeating Tarn he thought that was the end. Except it wasn't and now he was trapped. Waking up he found himself in the exact same spot where he'd "died."
Except he was still there... Sort of. Watching as everyone looked around happy to be alive. He ignored them instead looking around for Hot Rod who stood up. He was relived to find him mostly uninjured and surprised, when the Autobot called his name. Looking around for him with his usual happy grin.
He tried to respond and tell Hot Rod that he was alive. Only to discover to his horror that no one could hear him. Instead he watched Hot Rods spoiler fall and a sad look crossed his face. One he was familiar with. It was a face of pain and loss. His spark squeezed and he wanted to reach out and comfort him.
He was distracted by Laserbeak flying over and crying out for him.
It hurt and he found himself reaching through their bond trying to reassure her. Except it didn't work. Something was blocking it.
He tried touching her in an attempt to reassure. Only to gasp as his hand went through. He tried going to Shadow Striker and waved his arms in front of her face. Only for her to walk right through him and go to Laserbeak. He watched her comfort his cassette and felt a sinking suspicion he didn't want to believe.
It was something Shockwave mentioned. It was about dimensions like their own except you couldn't do anything. Nothing was solid and no one from their dimension could see or hear you. Shockwave had always theorized about this place calling it the perfect Autobot prison.
At the time he hadn't given it much thought. Thinking it was a stupid idea. Now he was sick with the realization, that he was trapped here with no way of getting out.
Time moved both slowly and quickly. He watched his funeral only because he didn't have anything else to do. There was no other reason. He didn't care what anyone said about him.
However when Hot Rod spoke he found himself drawn towards him. He watched as he held back tears, body trembling as he gave a eulogy.
He must be going soft because watching Hot Rod cry made his spark ache. He reached out a hand wanting to comfort him, only to quickly pull back when it went through.
Pain overwhelmed him and he left. Only returning after it was over and Hot Rod was walking home. He watched as Shadow Striker handed him a bag of stuff.
"He'd want you to have this."
Hot Rod took it, his hands trembling. Neither of them said anything they didn't have to. Instead they shared a look, just between the two of them and Shadow Striker walked away leaving Hot Rod alone.
Curious about what Shadow Striker gave him, he followed Hot Rod home. Barely paying attention to his small apartment, he watched Hot Rod open the bag and pull out his journal.
He froze looking at the familiar datapad. He'd begun writing ever since he was a gladiator it was both a way to tell his story and relieve stress.
During the war he'd kept the habit of writing. Although he was more secretive about it. He couldn't let other Decepticons use it against him after all. Not even Shadow Striker knew or at least he thought she didn't.
He watched Hot Rod flip through the pages and felt his spark squeeze. Even though he was trapped in another dimension where Hot Rod couldn't see him. He was still nervous about Hot Rod reading the most recent parts where he was mentioned.
Thinking back to what he wrote he felt his optics widen. Shortly after the end of the war he'd written something very personal. It was a confession.
He watched as Hot Rod flipped to it as though something was guiding him. He watched the way he read it nervous about how Hot Rod would react.
His spark sped up and he stared unable to look away, when that's all he wanted. He studied Hot Rods face watching in shock as he began to cry.
He knelt down concerned that Hot Rod was upset by what he wrote. He most likely didn't feel the same way.
Except he was surprised when Hot Rod wrapped his arms around the datapad and whispered.
"I love you too."
Watching Hot Rod return his feelings he felt something. It made him want to leave. Instead of accepting his fate he was going to fight. He was going to find a way out of there and return to Hot Rod no matter what. This wasn't the end for him. He still had a life to live in his own dimension.
He promised himself and Hot Rod that he would return home. He wouldn't give up not without a fight.
Hot Rod adopting a bunch of Mini-Cassettes. Soundwave and Hot Rod being cute together with all the Mini-Cassettes. Hot Rod’s friends freaking out by how many “kids” Soundwave and Hot Rod now have.
Thanks
They were cuddled together trying to sleep in since they both had the day off and wanted to spend it in bed with each other. When they were suddenly woken up.
"Wake up!"
Rumble and Frenzy came running into their room with the others following behind them. The twins jumped onto their bed and bounced around as they climbed on them.
Soundwave gave them a grumpy look. Not liking their wake up call and he pulled them into a hug.
"Good morning."
He kissed their foreheads and they both scrunched their faces up with disgust, even though they leaned into his touch. Soundwave sat up and pet Ravage who climbed into their bed. Nudging his hand until he did something.
Laserbeak and Buzzsaw perched themselves near the end of their bed. With Laserbeak still waking up as she ruffled her feathers.
Buzzsaw stretched his wings and hoped closer to Soundwave wanting to be pet as well.
Their youngest and last to wake up came flying inside almost crashing into their bed. He grabbed him and felt Ratbat cuddle against his chest.
"Come on everyone. I'll make breakfast while Soundwave rests a little more. He had a long day yesterday."
Getting up the others followed him. Frenzy and Rumble ran ahead and sat in front of the TV turning on their cartoons.
Buzzsaw joined them perching himself on the couch and Ravage went back to sleep. After finding a nice sun spot.
"Do you want to watch cartoons?"
Ratbat shook his head clinging to him tighter.
"I want to stay with you."
"Okay."
He stroked his youngest head and began making everyone's breakfast.
Soundwave joined him soon after. Wrapping his arms around him he looked over and kissed him ignoring everyone's cries of disgust.
Soundwave joined him in making breakfast.
"Can you grab the copper out of the cabinet?"
Laserbeak flew over and grabbed it.
"Thank you."
Buzzsaw also flew over and pecked at Soundwave's head when he noticed his food was being made."
"Give me a moment."
He handed it over and Ravage hoped onto the counter and began pawing at him.
"Here you go."
He slid it over. Giving Laserbeak her's as well.
"Rumble. Frenzy. Food is ready."
The twins ran over bumping each other as they ran. Grabbing their favorite cups they tried walking back over to the TV, when Soundwave stopped them.
"Table."
They both sighed and glanced at the TV. Sitting in a place where they could still see it.
Using a bottle he fed Ratbat who chirped in delight. Letting Soundwave make their food. He sat with the twins at the kitchen table.
Ravage who finished his food cuddled against their legs almost tripping Soundwave when he stood up. Causing the twins to laugh.
"You two are on dish duty."
They both groaned. Fighting each other on who does what.
Laserbeak squawked and poked them both on the head.
"Ow."
They tried to swat at Laserbeak who easily flew away. She gave them a smug look as she watched them do the dishes.
Buzzsaw who'd finished with his own food tried to take there's. Soundwave gave him a look and the bird dramatically flew away acting as though he was starving. Which everyone ignored him having gotten used to it.
Once everyone was done with breakfast they all did their own things.
"Ratbat come play with us."
The twins held up their toys trying to entice him.
"No I want carrier."
He clung to him as he sat on the couch. Rumble and Frenzy looked at each other and then sat on either side of him. Cuddling against him as they watched TV.
A moment later and Soundwave came over and sat next to Frenzy. Causing the others to come over. Ravage sat in Soundwave's lap and Laserbeak sat with Rumble who cuddled the bird.
Buzzsaw flew around for a moment before settling in Frenzy's lap.
Cuddled together they watched whatever cartoons were on that morning. He found himself drifting off to sleep when he heard the doorbell ring. Immediately everyone looked towards it in excitement and he went to answer the door.
He found his friends standing outside and he felt a little embarrassed by how messy his home was. Taking in Ratbat pressed against his chest. The twins now running around playing tag. Laserbeak following after them. With Buzzsaw and Ravage cuddled again Soundwave. Their optics widened in surprise at the sheer chaos around him.
"Is this a bad time?"
"No it's usually like this."
His friends nodded still looking around in surprise.
"We wanted to invite you to hang out since we never see you anymore but you seem busy."
"I knew you'd adopted kids I just didn't know you adopted so many."
He shrugged and Soundwave came over wrapping an arm around his waist.
"We wanted a big family."
Rumble and Frenzy ran over grabbing onto the two of them. He wrapped his arms around them as they snuggled against him.
"They're the best parents anyone could ever want."
He smiled trying not to cry because he was so happy. He hugged his boys and the others joined not wanting to be left out.
"You should go. I can watch the kids."
"Are you sure?"
He gave Soundwave a worried look and he nodded. Turning back to his friends he asked.
"When do you want to hang out?"
"I was thinking next week."
"I can do that."
He led his friends out saying goodbye. Excited to see them soon. Before going back inside and joining his family who wanted to go to the park.
Lazebrick became attached to Hot Rod, refusing to leave him. Hot Rod was a kind and sweet Autobot. :)
It was a few days after the wall had been put up and he hadn't been taking it well. Saying he was a mess was an understatement. He was devastated feeling hurt and betrayed by Soundwave when he thought they had something special.
He'd been curled up in a ball crying until he couldn't cry anymore when he heard something hit his window.
Confused he looked over and gasped when he saw Laserbeak. He immediately went over to let her in.
"What are you doing here?"
Laserbeak flew inside and landed on his desk looking around his room. He felt embarrassed because it was a mess he wiped his face trying to hide the fact he was crying.
"Did Soundwave put you up to this?"
Laserbeak flapped her wings and he sat on his bed giving her a confused look.
"Why are you here?"
Laserbeak squawked and came over to nuzzle against him.
"Are you here to see me?"
Laserbeak squawked and he gave her a sad smile.
"I don't know why you'd want to see me."
Laserbeak squawked in outrage and pecked his hand.
"Ow sorry. I'm just a little upset right now... I thought we had something special but I guess I was wrong."
Laserbeak did something and he gasped watching as she turned on a radio and began flipping through the channels.
"Sound... Wave... Idiot."
He smiled and scratched her head.
"I don't think he'd be happy to hear that."
"True."
"Maybe... But I miss him."
"Misses... You... Too."
He looked at her in shock.
"Really?"
She nodded and he looked around for something to write with.
"If I write him a letter can you give it to him?"
Laserbeak nodded and he got to work. While writing his spark felt lighter and by the time he was done he felt nervous but also happy. Giving her the leader he thanked her for helping him out of his depression.
"You're... Welcome..."
He opened the window and watched as she flew away to go deliver the letter to Soundwave already planning on coming back to see him again and check up on him.
