Soundwaves minicon getting lost and being found by Hot rod. Hot rod already has a bitty in his belly and when he sees the minicon thats crying and in need, he can’t stop himself from helping them.
They latch onto Hot rod quick.
A few weeks later Soundwave finds his minicon but its a aight he can’t be upset about.
Hot rod is asleep in his nest, his minicon sleeping on top of the large swell while Hot rods arms hold them steady. They’re both asleep and Soundwave…sees why his cassette attached to the mech.
Soundwave can smell that there is no sire so…he becomes the sire
He looked over his dwindling supplies and realized he needed to go out again. He was hidden in a cave deep inside Cybertron's mountains. After Nyon was destroyed he'd run off going to the nearest city. Wanting to drink his problems away he ended up making a dumb mistake. He hooked up with a mech he couldn't even remember. By the time he woke up they were gone.
It was only a few weeks later when he started getting sick did he realize the consequences. Panicked he needed to find somewhere safe. After the destruction of Nyon he knew no city was safe. It was only a matter of time before the one he was in was destroyed.
He'd searched outside the city trying to find somewhere he could lay low. He'd climbed the mountains and found caves all along it's side.
Taking what few supplies he had. He left the city behind and went to the mountains where he's set up a little home for himself. It wasn't much but it would have to do for now, until he could find a way off world.
He planned on working in the city while he tried to find a way off world when it was destroyed. At the time he'd been in shock memories of his own home flashed before his optics.
However war changed people and he found himself sneaking out a day later. He went through the rubble looking for supplies. Taking things from the dead. Their lives ended too soon.
All he cared about was his survival and his sparklings. He'd do anything to protect them. He rubbed his belly, which wasn't very big. Due to lack of food they weren't growing very fast and he knew it would be a long carriage. Which meant he still might be able to find a way off world before they were born.
He was scavenging the ruins looking for energon and other supplies when he heard it. At first he thought he was imagining it. Until he heard it again.
Instincts took over and he found himself following the noise. Which lead him to a building that was little more than rubble. Inside he found a little minicon who was obviously quite young.
They cried in distress and he felt his spark ping in his chest. Looking around he wondered where their creator was.
When he heard the crying again he scooped the little one up, unable to abandon him. He immediately relaxed into his arms and he pulled him close. He was so exhausted he immediately fell asleep.
He cradled the bat minicon in his arms, as he continued scouting the area. He found some more energon and other useful supplies.
When he found himself getting tired he decided to go back home. Because he still needed to climb up the mountain and he didn't want to be out here after dark.
When he got back home. He looked the minicon over who whimpered in distress.
"Shh it's okay I've got you."
He looked his injuries over. Frowning when he noticed what appeared to be blaster wounds.
"Who would shoot at a sparkling?"
The minicon began crying again and he cradled him against his chest.
"shh, it's okay."
He rubbed his back but the minicon continued to cry. He had no idea why and felt tears fall as he continued trying to soothe the distressed minicon. While feeling like he was going to be a horrible carrier.
The minicon pressed against his chest plate and made a weird noise which caused his chest plates to open. He looked down in surprise and watched as they latched on.
He found himself relaxing as the minicon fed. The two of them forming a bond. He kissed his forehead and promised himself that he was going to protect him just like he'd protect his sparkling.
Cooing he smiled down at the sparkling. Watching as they drank their fill before yawning.
He laid down in his nest and curled around the sparkling. The two of them quickly fell asleep.
Soundwave was pacing the floor of his room as he tried to locate Ratbat. During a close call with an Autobot he'd ejected all of his minicons wanting them to be safe.
During all of the chaos Ratbat must have gotten separated. He'd already scoured the battlefield looking for him and now Ravage was checking the Autobot base.
He shivered. Trying not to imagine what horrors the Autobots were putting his youngest through. He really hoped they hadn't found him. His little one didn't know anything, but that wouldn't matter to the Autobots. They'd use him to take revenge against him even though he was a sparkling.
"He's not here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
He sighed in relief. Even though he didn't know where he was. At least he knew he wasn't with the Autobots.
"There was a city near the battlefield. Maybe he's there."
He brought up a map of the area taking in the city, which was now in ruins and no place for a sparkling. If it rained acid his youngest might get hurt or worse. He tried not to imagine it. The buildings were unstable and could collapse at any moment acid rain or not.
There could also be bombs in the area that hadn't gone off. Just waiting for someone to step on it. Not to mention the Autobots who could be surveying the area or scavengers who were looking for supplies and energon. They might hurt his youngest thinking he had energon or use him for spare parts.
As he imagined the worst case scenarios he was already moving through the Decepticon base, planning on going there himself and looking around.
He knew imagining the worst case scenarios wasn't helping but he couldn't help it. His youngest was all alone and needed him.
He held the minicon in his arms smiling as he played with the toys he'd made. One of his wings had been damaged and even though he'd wrapped it. He knew it would take some time before he could fly again.
The sparkling didn't seem to mind. He stayed nearby never going far.
He stroked his cheek and opened his plating so the sparkling could eat. Feeling him latch on he leaned against the wall and began to sing a Nyonian lullaby. The sparkling chirped and he nuzzled the top of his head.
The minicon yawned and he tucked him into his nest. Getting up he closed his chest plates and looked over his supplies. Although he had more than before. He was now feeding three people and would need more very soon.
The sparkling began crying in distress and he immediately pulled him into his arms.
"It's okay it was just a nightmare."
The sparkling was shaking in his arms and he pulled him closer. Rubbing his little back he softly sang the Nyonian lullaby trying to soothe him.
Eventually the sparkling started to fall asleep but he didn't want to be put down. Having no choice he laid down in his nest, while the sparkling slept. He watched over him for a while making sure he didn't have another nightmare when he yawned. Feeling tired he fell asleep with the minicon curled up in his arms.
Landing in the destroyed city he searched the area for his minicon when he noticed footprints. He followed them having a feeling they'd bring him to Ratbat.
It looked like they were some kind of scavenger who lived in the area. Which made him worried they'd hurt his sparkling.
He quickly sped up and found himself at the entrance of a cave. Walking inside he made sure to be quiet so he had the element of surprise.
Looking around he found someone living inside the cave. He was about to pull out his weapon when he smelled something sweet and familiar. His optics widened when he realized it was a carrier. Peaking his head inside he noticed sparkling supplies.
He took a step closer and found the mech asleep in his nest. His arms were wrapped around Ratbat who was snuggled against him looking well taken care of and happy.
Quietly so he didn't wake the carrier he kneeled down and put a hand on his pregnant belly.
He didn't see any signs of a sire. The sparkling only smelled of their carrier. Which gave him an idea. His youngest was obviously found of the carrier and he didn't want to separate them.
When the carrier woke up he was going to offer him a chance to join the Decepticons. He'd take care of him of course and his sparkling making sure they had everything they needed.
He wanted them for himself. He wanted the sparkling to be his and planned to become the little one's sire but first he needed to convince him to join him.
Hi, can we have a part 2 of hot rod being a carrier and ending up attached the sparkling that was given to a couple in high command.
After he passes out its Soundwave who finds him and takes him back to his private quarters. Soundwave found him because the decepticons attacked the base and took hot rod with them when they noticed his carrier protocols activated but there was no sparkling. Decepticons had a strict law to never separate a carrier from their sparkling so they scoured the area and found the couple with the sickly sparkling that was crying for hot rod and the bitty only stopped crying when they were placed in hot rods arms.
Hot rod wakes up to the bitty, his bitty, and soundwaves youngest new spark cassette feeding from his pouches. He couldn’t stop himself from checking over both of them and he couldn’t stop himself from growling at soundwave or megatron when they came closer to him since he was feeding vulnerable and sick sparklings that needed protection.
Hot rod decides to join the decepticons because he’ll do anything to keep both sparklings his spark is now attached to. His frame also thinks its the perfect time to puff up his tanks and spread his hips because now his carrier coding has safely activated because of soundwave and he’s so embarrassed by it but Soundwave loves it.
Soundwave keeps his servos on Hot rods tanks and lower back to help him around and to keep others from touching whats his.
They are happy.
"Soundwave we have a situation."
"What is it?"
"We have an Autobot..."
"Have you been spotted?"
"Not exactly, he's unconscious."
"Leave him. He probably drank too much."
"There's something off about him... I think you need to come see this."
He carefully moved out of his hiding spot from where he'd been observing the base. Looking for any weaknesses that might help their upcoming raid.
Going to Ravages location he found an Autobot laying on the ground unconscious.
He scanned him and saw the same thing Ravage did. His carrier protocols were activated.
"Do you think he's sparked?"
Ravage shook his head.
"No. He doesn't smell like it."
"That means there's a missing sparkling somewhere around here."
He scooped the unconscious carrier into his arms. Frowning at how light he felt. If he was feeding his sparkling he should be heavier. Needing to eat more since he was feeding for two.
He took in the carrier, looking him over more closely. He was a mess. His paint was chipped and dull. His frame showed signs of exhaustion and he felt his spark drop suddenly having a bad feeling. He recognized these signs. The same thing would happen to carriers in the gladiator pits when their sparkling was taken away.
"You don't think?"
Ravage tail flicked behind him in realization.
"They wouldn't be that cruel."
"I don't know... I think I can find the sparkling since the carrier still smells like them."
"Do it."
"What about the mission?"
"This is more important."
He pulled the carrier closer. Silently telling him to hold on.
"Report back when you've found the sparkling. I'm going to take their carrier to the medbay."
Ravage nodded and he carefully went back to his own base. Avoiding Autobot patrol's.
Taking him to the medbay. He laid him on a med berth. Letting the medics work.
Rubbing a gentle hand along the carriers face. He promised to find his little one and return them.
Stepping out of the medbay he found a message from Ravage.
"Did you find them?"
"Yes."
He froze taking in the sound of Ravages voice. He seemed disgusted by something.
"What is it?"
"The Autobots took the sparkling away from his carrier and gave it to another couple. Who aren't even taking care of him. He's obviously sick and they aren't doing anything."
"He needs his carrier."
"I know. If we don't hurry the sparkling is going to die."
Nodding. He got everything in order for the raid. It was time they attacked.
During the raid he broke into the apartment. Where the sparkling was laying in his crib. So weak he couldn't even cry. Just laying there abandoned.
It made him angry and he promised himself he'd punish those responsible.
For the Decepticons this is one of the worst things you could do. Many of them have either known or had their own sparklings ripped from their arms.
He put a hand on his chest. Where his youngest was docked. The very idea of losing him was unbearable.
Taking the sparkling back to the Decepticon base. He carried him into the medbay which had gone silent at the sight of a sick sparkling.
He placed the little one on his carriers chest. The sparkling made a small sound and the carrier responded. His chest plating opened letting his sparkling feed.
He had to hold the sparkling because he was too weak to move.
Gently stroking his helm. He felt hope when he noticed the sparkling was already starting to look better. Now that he was with his carrier.
He felt Ratbat open his dock with a chirp. Looking around he sniffed the air and then flew to the Autobot.
He went to grab him when the sparkling latched on and refused to let go. Snuggling again the Autobot he sighed feeling slightly worried.
He didn't want Ratbat getting attached to someone who might leave the Decepticons, after he's gotten better. Either to become a neutral or return to the Autobots.
He hated that idea but he knew he couldn't force him to stay.
When Hot Rod woke up, he felt warm and comfortable. Feeling something on his chest he looked down and gasped.
His sparkling had been returned to him and was peacefully sleeping with another sparkling curled up as well. He had no idea where he'd come from or when he'd gotten his sparkling back.
His memories were hazy and when he looked around he found himself in an unfamiliar room.
The door opened and he growled. Pulling the sparklings closer. He held them protectively while staring down Soundwave.
The Decepticon froze. Energon cubes in hand, which made his tanks rumble.
"You need to eat."
"Where am I?"
"You're in my room."
Feeling one of the sparklings shift. He gently rocked his arms. Soothing them back to sleep.
"how did I get here?"
"I found you passed out near the Autobots base. Your sparkling had been taken and was being raised by another couple."
Slowly his memories came back and he pulled his sparkling closer. Checking him over to make sure he was uninjured.
"When I found him. He was sick. I wasn't sure if he would make it."
He looked up at the Decepticon in distress. He should have fought harder to protect his little one.
"The other one is my youngest cassette."
Soundwave seemed slightly embarrassed and his sparkling chirped. Flying over to the Decepticon giving the energon in his hands a curious look.
Soundwave quickly handed it over,.before Ratbat got stuck again.
"Not for you."
He stroked his little head. Studying the Autobot who watched.closely. Never taking his optics off the sparkling in his hands.
Not wanting to upset the carrier. He handed him back. Watching as he easily tucked him back against his chest.
"What's your name?"
"Hot Rod."
He carefully drinks the cube of energon. His instincts telling him that he needed it, to keep his sparklings healthy.
At first he was unsure about living with Soundwave. Especially after all the horror stories he's heard about him.
But the Decepticon took care of him and his sparklings. He never had to worry about not getting enough fuel or either of them being taken away.
He decided to join the Decepticons because they could protect them and he didn't want to leave Soundwave or any of his cassettes.
As time went on, his body started changing. Making him look more like a carrier. At first he was insecure but Soundwave seemed to enjoy the way his body looked. Always complementing him and making him feel special.
He was so amazing and he loved him so much. Whenever they were out in public. He'd always keep a hand around his waist. Deterring any Decepticons who might want him for himself because a healthy carrier was seen as attractive.
Eventually the two of them bonded and he ended up getting sparked. His sparklings were excited about having a little sibling and he couldn't wait to have another one. Especially with someone he loved.
Soundwave doesn't want to show his face because he's embarrassed by his fangs
Ravage gave him an unimpressed look and he turned away from his adopted creator.
"You two have been dating for a while and are talking about moving in together."
"So?"
"Soundwave?"
Ravage sighed.
"I think it's time you showed him."
"I can't."
He shook his head frantically.
"You're planning on moving in together. Are you going to hide your face all the time?"
"I'll do what I have to. If he finds out he'll hate me."
"No he won't. Hot Rod will always love you, but I think it's time you showed him."
"No."
"Soundwave."
"No."
"Your relationship isn't going to last if you keep hiding yourself from him. Eventually you're going to destroy your own relationship fangs or not."
Soundwave gave him a frantic look. The very idea was unbearable. He couldn't imagine not spending his life with him.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Show him."
He sighed knowing he was right. Even though he hated it.
"Fine... I'll show him."
During their next date Hot Rod gave him a worried look.
"Are you okay? You seem nervous."
"I'm fine."
He lied and Hot Rod frowned.
"Are you sure?"
He nodded even though he felt anything but fine.
"T-- there's something I have to tell you."
Hot Rod gave him a curious look.
"What is it?"
With shaking fingers he took off his mask and revealed his fangs.
He looked surprised for a moment and then hugged him. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled Hot Rod close. Still in shock and also amazement because Hot Rod was amazing.
Usually when he showed people his fangs they'd look terrified. They'd call him a monster and a freak frantically telling him to get out of their house.
Other Decepticons had fangs. Including Hot Rods best friend Drift but they weren't like his.
Those were for aesthetic purposes. A lot of Decepticons had gotten themselves fangs during the war. Wanting to make themselves scarier and differentiate themselves from Autobots.
His were real. They were bigger and sharper than those with fake ones. He was what they were trying to be without having to face the stigma surrounding his kind.
Unlike most people he drank from the living. His fangs were used to puncture holes into their lines, so he could drink from them.
He always hid this part of himself from Hot Rod. Worried he would hate him only to be proven wrong.
The two cuddled together and Hot Rid eventually fell asleep. He watched over him. Brushing a hand down his cheek, as he stared at him in amazement. Even after finding out what he was. Hot Rod let himself be vulnerable around him. His head was tilted to the side slightly and his neck was exposed. He could bite him at any moment and suck him dry. Yet Hot Rod trusted a monster like him not to hurt him.
It was everything he didn't know he wanted. Something he never allowed himself to dream of because he didn't think it was possible.
He loved Hot Rod so much. He was everything to him.
Soundwave looks for a housekeeper and finds Hot Rod
Exhausted he wanted to go home and rest. After being honest the last few days on a surveillance mission he couldn't wait to sleep for the next day.
Too tired to turn on his lights. He ended up falling on his face. He blindly stumbled through the dark tripping on more things.
Finding his way to the nearest light switch he turned it on and gasped staring at the mess that awaited him.
His cassettes were out for the night some of them on their own important missions. Which meant he had to clean up the mess himself. He thought about leaving it but when he tripped again he realized that wasn't an option.
Even though he was annoyed he didn't want his cassettes to get hurt.
He cleaned as much as he could. Practically having a mental breakdown because everywhere he looked there was a mess.
Snapping he found himself walking over to a monitor and looking up house keeping. With the war going there were a lot of bots fleeing their cities and looking for jobs elsewhere. Some where trying to save up enough money to leave.
Of course they'd have to be properly vetted and he'd need to meet with them individually to find the perfect one but he was going to have a housekeeper. He couldn't do this anymore.
Looking through the list he found a few suitable candidates. He looked their resumes over and sent them a message.
He forgot all about it until Frenzy had been using his monitors to play video games. Which he's told him countless times he's not allowed to do.
"Are we getting a housekeeper?"
"What?"
The others came over and he froze memories of that night coming back to himself.
"No. We're not."
The others complained a little about how they should get one but after one glare they all shut up about the matter.
Ravage however refused to let it go. As his oldest. Ravage knew he was stressed out and that he didn't have time to keep his house in the condition he would like. Which had lead to him cleaning in the middle of the night feeling overwhelmed.
"I think getting a housekeeper would be a good idea. It will allow you to take care of other things besides the cleanliness of your house."
He was reluctant but after coming home to another mess he eventually agreed. After doing a thorough background check he got back to a few people for an interview.
He had no idea how hard it was going to be until he had to interview people. It seemed like no one was good enough and he found himself getting frustrated.
Then Ravage suggested one he hadn't seen before. He'd been reluctant especially with how the search was going but he'd insisted.
Eventually he decided to give him a chance. Just so he could tell Ravage that he did it.
When the potential candidate arrived he opened the door and found his breath knocked out of him. Hot Rod was gorgeous and he suddenly realized why Ravage picked him. It wasn't just because of his cleaning skills it was also because he was exactly his type.
Soundrod
Soundwave goes looking for Rodimus after a one night stand. He finds him four months later with a belly thats pretty big and a noticeable waddle.
"What did you do?"
He stared at the text for a long time wondering what Ravage was talking about.
"What happened?"
"I can smell you on him. How could you forget protection!?"
"What?"
He sat up staring at the message in shock.
"What are you talking about?"
"Have you hooked up with anyone recently?"
He was about to respond with no he hasn't when he suddenly froze remembering a few weeks ago. The Lost Light had landed on Cybertron which meant Megatron was back.
He ended up getting really drunk and there was a pretty speedster who's valve felt so perfect around his spike as he clung to him moaning and begging for more.
He couldn't remember if they used protection or not. Both of them were drunk and eager to touch each other.
"Send me the coordinates to the Lost Light I'm coming there immediately."
"I'll see you soon. Although he's been trying to hide it I know it won't be long before others notice."
"It wasn't that long ago. How can he be showing already?"
"I think he's carrying twins."
He stood there in shock and then began packing his stuff.
"I'll see you soon. Watch over him until I get there."
"Of course."
He hung up and Ravage sent the coordinates and a way to track the Lost Light. He got his affairs in order before leaving as soon as possible.
If Rodimus was hiding his carrying there had to be a reason and that's what worried him the most. Although he didn't know him very well he wasn't going to let anything happen to him or their sparkling. They could figure everything else along the way.
When he finally reached the Lost Light they had landed on a planet to refuel and gather supplies. He observed Rodimus and noticed he was wearing something to hide his belly. Looking at the others it seemed they were unaware including his Amica.
On the way over he'd pulled up Rodimus file and learned everything he could about him, wanting to be prepared.
With Ravages help the two of them met up in secret away from prying optics. Rodimus was shocked and put a protective hand on his tanks without realizing it.
He'd suspected he was a tank carrier but this confirmed it. Rodimus must have realized what he did because he freaked out looking panicked.
He quickly reassured him because he just wanted to talk. Rodimus was weary and protective of their sparkling which made something inside of him happy.
"I want to join the Lost Light and be there for you and our sparkling."
Rodimus had looked conflicted reminding him that Megatron was there. Although he didn't want to deal with his former friend he accepted it wanting to be there for Rodimus. Who looked surprised that he'd stay with him even if he had to deal with Megatron someone he despised. It made his spark hurt as he wondered who hurt Rodimus and promised himself that he'd never be like them.
Finally he agreed and after filling out the necessary paperwork thanks to Ultra Magnus he was now part of the crew.
Both of them wanted to be close but they weren't ready to share a room yet. So he got the one next to Rodimus which used to be Drifts.
When they were finally alone in the privacy of Rodimus room he asked to see his bump. He looked nervous and he tried to reassure him knowing the horror's tank carriers faced on Cybertron.
Eventually he agreed and he gasped looking at his belly in awe.
"You're so beautiful."
Rodimus blushed and let him touch his belly. Which seemed to soothe the carrier and their sparkling having him so close.
He stroked his belly and talked to their little one. When he looked up at Rodimus he could see that he was equally as excited as he was.
There was an electrifying tension between the two of them as though they were too magnets coming together. The two of them began to make out and he helped lay Rodimus in his bed, while he worshipped his beautiful body.
If Rodimus wasn't already sparked he would have been from the amount of transfluid that had been pushed inside of him.
When the two of them were finally satisfied they cuddled together and fell asleep. Both of them excited for the future.
Okay, sue me
Please give us a third part to hot rod being ratbats caregiver and he’s taken by autobots while sparked
The Autobots forced them off the transport and led them inside where they were placed inside a prison cell.
Around him people cried for their loved ones who'd been killed and their freedom which had been taken from them. No one knew what was going to happen next, if the Autobots were going to execute them for their perceived betrayal or if they'd be forced to join.
The entire time he barely resisted putting a hand on his belly wanting to reassure himself that his little one was safe. He should have never left Soundwave and the Decepticons. Even if they were in the middle of a war, he would have been safe with them.
He didn't know how long they sat there until the Autobots came back.
"We will forget your treasonous actions if you join us."
"And if we don't?"
Someone dared to ask and one of the Autobots shot them.
"You'll be executed as punishment."
He shivered wrapping his arms around himself as though he could protect his sparkling. Those who remained were split up into groups and assigned jobs.
His job was working in the boiler room and was very labor intensive. He worked long hours and only got to sleep for a few hours before they were forced back to work. Rations were very small and he found himself constantly worried that he was going to lose his sparkling because of the stress he was under.
He found himself feeling sick all the time but he was still forced to work. Since he wasn't eating much his belly didn't show, which was a good thing because he didn't want them to know he was sparked.
Although the labor he was doing now was hard. What they'd force him to do if they knew he was sparked would be much worse.
He tried coming up with a few plans to escape knowing he was on borrowed time. It wouldn't be long before he started to show and the Autobots realized he was sparked.
He wished there was some kind of way he could send Soundwave a message. Although he doubted Soundwave would want to hear from him after he left him.
Soundwave had been looking all over for Hot Rod and had been a mess ever since he left him. He'd reread the letter repeatedly always wondering what he did wrong. Not understanding why Hot Rod had to leave. Everyone had been walking on eggshells around him worried he'd snap at any moment.
He'd been staring blankly at one of his reports when Ravage had walked in with urgent news.
"I found Hot Rod."
He found himself sitting up before he even realized it.
"Where?"
"He's been captured by the Autobots."
Ravage showed him the footage and he watched as Hot Rod was forced to work in the boiler room. His feet were chained to the ground in order to stop him from escaping. He looked tired and his paint beautiful was now dull and chipped.
Nearby an Autobot barked orders at him and he flinched away. He watched angrily as the Autobots were working him to his death.
"How did this happen?"
"Hot Rod was about to leave Cybertron when the Autobots had stopped everyone from leaving. They'd accused them of treason and taken them back to their base."
"Typical Autobots acting as though they owned all of Cybertron."
He continued looking at the footage giving Hot Rod a worried look. Even though he'd left him he still loved him and he wouldn't let him remain in Autobot custody any longer.
Hopefully after he'd rescued him Hot Rod would give him an explanation on why he left and maybe they could even work things out.
"We need to rescue him."
"We're ready to go."
He looked at Ravage in surprise and he shrugged.
"We already knew what you were going to say."
He followed Ravage out of his office and to the hanger where others were waiting. Megatron had gathered them in order to attack the Autobot base.
"Good luck getting Hot Rod back."
He nodded and together the Decepticons marched towards the Autobots base. All of them filled with anger at the idea of Autobots kidnapping civilians and forcing them to work for them.
He stormed the base in a rage desperately searching for Hot Rod. Ravage led him to the prisons where he was sitting on the floor. He barely noticed him when he walked in and it wasn't until he said something that Hot Rod looked up.
"Are you real?"
He nodded and hacked open the door. Stepping inside he walked to Hot Rod who stood on shakey legs looking about ready to collapse.
"I'm so sorry Soundwave I should have never left."
Hot Rod gave him a sad look as he wrapped his arms around himself and he desperately wanted to take him back to the Decepticon base and keep him by his side forever.
"I was so worried about our sparkling growing up in this war and I thought leaving would have been the best option."
He looked at Hot Rod in surprise just as he collapsed from exhaustion. He easily caught him giving him a worried look.
Ravage and the others freed the other prisoners while he took Hot Rod to the medbay. He sat by his side while the medics worked the entire time trying to process the fact Hot Rod was sparked.
"Ravage! Operation:Funny Cat meme!"
what does Megatron think of soundwaves cassettes
Ravage is a crotchety old fart
As for the birds…
They’re his best spies
ravage the (cat? jaguar? leopard? panther? puma?) one time i heard someone say they thought he was a dog which confused me more than anything else
First time asking for a oneshot so I apologize if it sucks, but could you write something about soundwave or blaster adopting a cassette? Thank you!
The version of Soundwave is not specified. So, this was quite open-ended and I went in a certain direction with it. But honestly, I really enjoyed writing this, and now all I can think about is Soundwave and his new little friend.
Warnings: War scorn area, not specifically mentioned but hinted that it is during the war, abandonment, panic, explosion.
~~
Soundwave was scavenging through the abandoned Autobot territory. All the Autobots were long gone, the area damaged and destroyed from a recent attack.
He didn't have to come himself, he had his cassettes ready and willing to search the rubble for valuable information. But he had been tucked away for a while, he wanted some time outside in the real world.
Ravage's growls caught his attention. Before he could assess what it was, Ravage had pounced and began chasing something. Soundwave followed at his normal pace, he trusted Ravage and knew he was capable of keeping himself safe.
Soundwave found Ravage snarling at a corner. He peeked around his companion and spotted a minibot, cowering in fear, trying their hardest to disappear into the corner. Ravage had them pinned with no escape.
It was an Autobot minibot, they had a small insignia branded on their chest. Soundwave thought it was such a pity that they had been left behind, most likely forgotten because of their size. They would not have been valuable in the fight, so they likely hid which is probably how they survived the attack.
Soundwave stepped behind Ravage, coming into view of the tiny bot. They spotted Soundwave, their optics widening. In a panic, they transformed, a protective measure Soundwave assumed. They transformed into a cassette, their body clinking as they hit the floor in their tape form.
Ravage was about to step forward and attack the defenlesss tape. But Soundwave stopped him, making Ravage sit at his command. Ravage looked up at Soundwave confused. It was their job to take out any remaining Autobots, so he didn't understand why Soundwave stopped him.
Soundwave looked down at the tiny cassette tape. For the first time ever, he felt sorry for an Autobot. They were left all alone, scared, defenseless, unable to do anything but lose. What a shame. And what a shame that such valuable information was almost lost forever. Soundwave wondered what important things this tiny bot could know.
Soundwave knelt on one knee and extended his servo. He then waited. After a few minutes, the minibot transformed back to their bot form. They looked at Soundwave, untrusting, scared, yet unsure of what to do.
Soundwave did not move, just waited with his servo out. The minibot stared at the servo. They had a quick look around, but both Soundwave and Ravage were blocking any chance at an escape. They had nowhere to go.
Slowly, the minibot started to step forward. They gently placed their tiny servo into Soundwaves. Just then a large explosion sounded behind them. Panicked the minibot leapt into Soundwaves servo and transformed.
Soundwave stood and placed the Autobot cassette into his chest to keep them safe.
He was looking for a computer that may have been able to give him information, but an alive Autobot was even better.
Soundwave sauntered out of the enemy territory, heading back to base. Ravage complained about taking the cassette, but Soundwave told Ravage to trust him.
Back at the Decepticon home base, Soundwave removed the Autobot cassette. He placed them onto his berth and grabbed some Energon from his personal supply. When he returned the cassette had still not transformed.
He waited, patiently, and eventually, the bot transformed. Soundwave handed them the Energon and watched them drink the entire thing hungrily. The poor thing must have been without Energon for a while.
Soundwave released his other cassettes. Frenzy and Rumble were quick to start roughhousing with the new bot, wanting to declare dominance. But Soundwave stopped them, ordering them to behave around their new friend.
He watched the Autobot closely, watching their expression when he called them friends. For the next few days, he stayed close to the cassette, taking them with him wherever he went. Even choosing them over his others. He made sure to give them plenty of Energon, and lots of his undivided attention.
One night, weeks later, he woke to the sound of scratching. He opened his optics and spotted the minibot in a corner. Soundwave walked over to them, their tiny frame turning when they heard his footsteps. He looked at their chest, seeing they had scratched off their Autobot insignia. Or at least tried to. Soundwave picked the bot up, and helped them to clean up their chest, ready for a new insignia.
The next day, his new cassette was wearing the purple badge, and proudly showing it off to Frenzy and Rumble. Lazerbeak squawked happily to have a new companion. Ravage knew what Soundwave wanted, but he wouldn't spoil the new bot's fun.
Soundwave waited a few more days. Then began asking questions, small things at first, questions that could have been common knowledge. The more time went on, the more detailed and in-depth the questions got. And Soundwave was happy to see his new cassette was more than willing to talk.
Soundwave was very happy to have such easy access to the information, and so happy he got the bot to give it up so willingly. But as he looked at the little purple insignia on his new cassette, he also felt happy to have a new companion, a new bot he could count on.
Ravage could think all they wanted. But Soundwave was starting to grow soft for the tiny thing. Not only were they useful, but they were quickly becoming a close friend that Soundwave wanted to protect and keep safe.
