Quintesson Era - Orbit

 

 

"Soundwave: Reporting. Quint forces moving to the Mangnaese Mountains, from the Plains of Iacon. "

Xe floated high above Cybertron, linked to xem satellite siblings as they orbited.

A chorus of voices hailed xem back.

"Noted."

"We got them flanked."

"Bombers at the ready."

Xe replied.

"Take them to the pits, deliver Unicron's wrath. "

Xem cameras zoomed and recorded in satisfaction as the burning ships of the Invaders crashed below.

Hive Era - The Pits of Kaon

"You don't have a designation."

 

 

Soundwave didn't say anything.

Ze never needed to.

Zir voice was....unwanted.

It's not like ze was going to tell this insecticon that ze had named zirself after one of the heros who fought against the Quintesson Invasion.

This horned beetle insecticon before zir was deluded. She who held the electro-whip was under the delusion that she owned zir.

 

 

Data cables slithered out, tines whirring and electricity crackling.

Megatronus would be so pleased at zir courting gift.

Autobot Purges/Invasion Era - Earth

"Soundwave, status? Repeat, status? All other units are down."

 

 

"Not good, this hive is giving me trouble." Hexbolt gritted their teeth, their satellite drone body was on its last legs, they had named the drone frame after its former owner, Soundwave. Said xenomech that had virtually adopted them.

"Three dozen humans were harvested last night," came the cold static voice over the radio.

Hexbolt screamed into their mic in rage and despair.

Later that night, Hex reported the hive destroyed as they crawled back to the pick up zone with only one arm.

Notes:

World building notes:

First Soundwave refer's to "Unicron's wrath". Unicron in this universe is a metaphor, a name for the forces of chaosm destruction and entropy. Basically telling the Cybertronian forces to go wreck face.

Autobots are descendants of insecticons domesticated by quints, and they attacked humanity for a "good" reason. (Which will be mentioned in other installments).

Second Soundwave is the same one from "Limbo of the Creator" and was Decepticon PR to humans. Had a big internet presence pre-shadowzone and mentored/adopted human youth in need. Ze had several satelliteformer drones built and remote controlled them while dealing with human satellites.

Said drone becomes the Third Soundwave, remote piloted by Hexbolt, one of SW's adopted humans.
