(Republished cause I forgot a GIF. Sorry folks)

"Listen Linda listen!" Normal speaking. 

'Soundwave, why did you send me a picture of an earth fruit?' Speaking through bond. 

"Must bare witness." Soundwave, You, or something playing a recording/transmission. 

I thought this will make things easier to understand. 

Your POV 

I stood beside Skyquake as he rested on the berth. He was well enough to be transformed back to bot mode, but it would take some time for him to fully recuperate. He was asleep, a state of mind he would be in for awhile, since most medical attention would be focused on Megatron. I looked over at the warlord as he laid, life support keeping him online, though the dark energon he stuck in his spark chamber was missing. 

I wondered if Starscream had anything to do with that, but yet, I had no proof. I hoped the both would recover, but only time would tell, and the Doctor, along with his assistant, were nowhere to be found. And Starscream is the only one who can bring them straight here. I turned around when the door opened, Bob walking in with a stack of energon cubes. "Soundblaster, I would ask why you're here, but..." He trailed off. 

He sighed as he set them down, focusing on me. "Look, I can do some repairs while Megatron's autorepair systems do their thing, but neither of them are getting up until the doctor gets back and does his thing." The vehicon explained. I stayed silent as I walked away. "Soundblaster? If it's any help, Skyquake doesnt need life support like Megatron." Bob said as I looked back, nodding. 

I walked out to meet a vehicon tank. Vehicon tanks are vehicons, that turn into tanks. They filled in the heavy firepower/armor role in the vehicon ranks, and as such, they're harder to make, resulting in limited numbers. They're the rarest vehicon there is, and the deadliest. But what is this one doing. "Soundblaster? Sir? I've come to inform you that your presence is requested on the bridge." He said before walking off. 

He almost got away before Buzzsaw flew infront of him. He turned to see me behind him. "With me!" I played a recording of Megatron. "Y-Y-Yes sir!" He said. I'm making him come with me, cause I know I would've been commed if it was something meek and small. "Name?" I played a recording. "8U881E5, but the common nickname is B-Bubbles." He said. You know, for a actual tank, he's pretty timid. 

Must be a gentle giant case then. I remember eons ago when I last saw Skyquake, the day 'before he left. His gentle hands holding me close as he removed my plating, sticking his-' 'Boss, please. I really DONT need to know that.' Buzzsaw said, letting me realize our bond was open. 'Please tell me I didnt say that out loud.' I asked him. 'No, only to me. And I prefer if you never tell me again.' Buzzsaw said. 

I felt akwardness through the bond on both ends. 'Sorry.' I apologized as I entered the bridge where Starscream was looking at Soundwave as he intercepted a transmission. "Wheeljack!? What are you doing all the way out here?" The Autobot Bulkhead asked. "Bulkhead? That's you? What's with all the security?" Wheeljack asked. Another wreaker. And if he's here, then so will his partner, Twincast. 

"The rock we're on is crawling with cons." Bulkhead explained. "A war hero? We havent much time. Makeshift!" Starscream ordered. Said bot stayed in the shadows as he came twords us. Soundwave launched a tenticle onto him as he transmitted Wheeljack's records to him, along with changing his look. Plates shifted and fused to complete the look of the wreaker. Wait, what about- 

"I too, know how to prepare a proper welcome. Soundblaster, you've told before that this one doesnt travel alone." Starscream said. I brought up Twincast's file, but the only thing besides her name on it was 'Glitch' under every piece of info. "Hate her, dont you? She wasnt mentioned in the transmission, but still, you should go with the vehicons that'll shoot down their ship. I want no loose ends." Starscream said. 

And I was more than happy to agree. 

(Timeskip.) 

I flew with a squadron of vehicon jets in tow. We aproached the ship as it flew over a desert. We got in range and shot at it. A shot managed to hit one of it's engines and it hit the sand. Get fragged. We flew in and transformed. The vehicons got infront of me while I put Buzzsaw on standby. One aproached before getting shot through his spark. "If you're trying to ruin our day, you're gonna have to try harder." Wheeljack said. 

"Agreed." Twincast said, walking out of the smoke. Wheeljack ran forward, doging a shot before cutting down a vehicon with his sword. Twincast transformed her hands into guns and shot another dead. A groundbridge opened up behind me, letting out a pair of vehicon tanks. I shot out a special blast out of my shoulder cannon that hit Wheeljack. He was still standing, but the tanks took him on. 

"Soundblaster!" Twincast yelled in surprise. I simply brought out my subsonic repeaters. I shot a repeated barrage of energon at her, but she doged. She deployed her pet, Sights, but so did I with Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw kept the pet busy while I rushed with my blades. Twincast brout out her's aswell before we colided. 

I preformed a final downward swing that resulted in a deadlock. "Soundblaster, wait!" Twincast said. "Agh!" Wheeljack yelled in agony as he was knocked out. "Wheeljack!" Twincast said, losing her guard. I broke he deadlock and headbutted her, before grabbing her head and slamming it into my knee, knocking her out. 'Send in Makeshift.' I told Soundwave. 'Achknowlaged.' He replied. 

I grabbed Twincast by her neck as I dragged her through the groundbridge, the tanks with Wheeljack behind me. Buzzsaw brought in the disabled Autobot pet too. I drug her to the cells where I chained her up. Buzzsaw dropped Sights into my hands where I wrapped a chain around it. The two were hanging from chains, and were not going to escape. I made sure Twincast's chains were extra tight before leaving. 

"Make sure she doesnt escape." I told the vehicons guarding her cell. I would've had a tank guarding her if I could, but Starscream wants them in reserve. Unless a strike force is assembled. I made my way over to Wheeljack's cell. I entered and watched as the wreaker hung from restraints. He remind's me of- The door to the cell opened again, Starscream and Soundwave walking in, with Starscream raising a brow. 

"Our inside man is already inside." Starscream said. "Tell Megatron he's fragged in the head if he think's Bulkhead wont sniff out an imposter." Wheeljack said. "Hav'nt you heard? I lead the Decepticons now." Starscream gloated. "You? Ha!" Wheeljack laughed. Starstream tried to kill him, but Soundwave stopped him. "Yes, he may yet be of use. Makeshift is very good at keeping up appearances." Starscream explained. 

"He need only fool you're friends long enough to open thier groundbridge from within, so that I may finally know the location of the Autobot base, and send in a strike team to stain it's floor with the spilled energon, of Optimus Prime." Starscream explained. 'And I get to gut Twincast.' I told Soundwave. 'No. Keep her as a backup, in case Starscream fails.' Soundwave replied. That's my brother, always thinking ahead. 

We left and headed to the bridge to await Makeshift's signal. And so, we waited. Starscream got impatiant. "Makeshift still hasnt opened their groundbridge, or transmitted their coordinates! His disguise may be flawless, but he wont fool the Autobots forever!" Starscream stated. After that, we decided to wait on the flight deck with the strike force. I watched as rows upon rows of vehicon grounders lined up. 

Two tanks also lined up at the back. We waited even more to the point I brought out Buzzsaw to feed him some energon. "Are you certain we are at the coordinates you supplied to Makeshift?" Starscream asked. Soundwave nodded. "Then what is taking him!?" Starscream yelled. "Maybe they gave your boy such a hero's welcome, he got the warm and fuzzies and decided to switch sides." Wheeljack said. 

"Surprise glitches!" Twincast said, walking beside him. "Do you not see that you are vastly outnumbered?" Starscream asked. "We see fellas who might vastly enjoy watching me pound some dents into you." Wheeljack said. "Destroy them!" Starscream yelled in terror. Vehicons rushed past us, firing their guns. I was about to join them when Soundwave stopped me. I tilted my head. 

He brought up my vitals, showing I have not consumed energon in days. 'I beat her once, I can do it again.' I told him. 'You got lucky. Stay near me.' Soundwave said, ending the conversation. I huffed as I stood near him. I watched as the fight continued, when the groundbridge we waited for opened. Wheeljack fled through with Twincast. "Enter that groundbridge now!" Starscream yelled before it closed. 

For some reason, it opened again. "What are you waiting for!? Go!" Starscream yelled. Makeshift then flew out, hitting Starscream, before the groundbridge closed. 'Go. Now.' Soundwave said. I obeyed as Makeshift got up. I entered the ship and went to my quarters, only to find a vehicon with some energon cubes standing inside. "Soundwave has ordered me to make sure you consume this energon." He said. 

We than felt the ship shake as an explosion went off. "Primus why?" The vehicon asked before leaving. I stepped twords the cubes before eating, knowing well that Soundwave would force me to eat them if I didnt do it willingly. I finished and laid down on my berth, tired. When was the last time I recharged? I closed my eyes and fell asleep in an instant. Dreams of riping Twincast to shreds filled the night. 

It also disturbed Buzzsaw. Poor thing.
