Soundwave: Robot In Disguise

Time passes and the dust settles, long after the commotion of the crash and search has passed. The Decepticon construction teams have yet to arrive as one of the idle communication towers that survived the crash begins to shift and whir, unfolding into... Soundwave!

 

Soundwave pauses for a moment, analyzing all the vast amount of data that his new form has recorded since the crash, a task that requires more of Soundwave's attention than he cares to give at the moment considering the fact that he acting alone, deep in hostile territory. But Soundwave's precious, life-giving spark is not yet familiar with the working of its new body and the processes are taking time, a point of concern for the Decepticon communicator. A spark-transfer is a dangerous endeavor at the best of times. Undergoing such a delicate procedure while under attack and spiralling to the ground in a plume of flame is less-than-ideal circumstance for a transfer to take place in. Soundwave must give his new body undue attention which takes time; time that he may not have.

 

As he scans the data through his internal processing systems, Soundwave surveys the landscape devastated by the crash. His ship was practically blown to atoms, a fact that owe credit to the destruction protocol that Soundwave initiated before he underwent the spark-transfer. The system worked perfectly, destroying any discernible evidence that the ship was made by the earth-bound Decepticons. The defense/destruct protocol also was the reason that Soundwave had survived the impact, jettisoning an escape capsule at precisely the right moment. The walls of the heavily armoured escape pod were armed with an acid lining that reacted on impact. The system was orchestrated with such precision that the acid successfully devoured the walls but had lost its acidity by the time it got to the newly awakened Soundwave who was able to step out from his melted confines and disguise himself in plain sight using his new body.

 

The Decepticon communicator was pulled from his thoughts and analysis at the detection of approaching ship, a ship that Soundwave was certain would contain a construction crew. It was time for Soundwave to put his new body through another test. With a simple mental command, Soundwave's body folded, panels shifting and gears quickly meshing until he found himself in a new alternate mode; that of a four wheeled armoured vehicle. He quickly retreated from the sound of the incoming ship and rolled toward the horizon.
