The Operation Begins

Soundwave works alone on a starship created in secret by the earthbound, Cobra-made Decepticons and has been doing so for more than three Earth years. On liftoff, the starship had sublight speed capability and to this day it is a fact that has remained constant. This has led to a surplus of time on Soundwave’s hands; time that has not been put to waste.

Once Soundwave fled Earth, by order of the mighty Megatron, he immediately got to work on several projects, the first of which was entering months’ worth of carefully crafted schematic data into an assembly computer. The assembly computer, a super-computer by even Decepticon standards, was a computer capable of near endless multitasking. Its primary task was to create a secondary propulsion device that would reveal the location of wormholes in space. Once a wormhole was located, the propulsion device would draw from it the energy needed to open a ‘warp gate’, instantly transporting Soundwave’s ship to a point theoretically thousands of lightyears closer to Cybertron. A device such as this would use tremendous amounts of energy, far more than the starship was capable of carrying. To resolve this problem, Soundwave built in a power source that used the same technology that Megatron would use to connect with the antimatter held within blackholes when utilising his fusion cannon. This was a very dangerous task, so calculations would be slow and cautious as Soundwave had no intention of becoming stardust on his journey.
