The finished piece for JKBetti's long awaited patreon reward of Soundwave being a parent to his chaotic cassettes. Very pleased with the final result! Hope you like it too!!

The city is burning. It's been on fire for days, the skyline you loved nothing but smoke and ash, and there is no relief in sight. Metal melting into itself and the surroundings, buildings merged together, until it looks like a great beast crying in agony. Fighting to pull itself out from it's own destruction. Your cassette-player is among those trapped under the rubble, squeezed beneath concrete and metal. Perhaps it's fortunate, then, that you know he's dead. You were his only companion, and now you're alone. It gives you comfort knowing he's not the one in your place.

There is no one coming to save you. The Decepticons and Autobots have torn Cybertron apart, your home just collateral among the list of casualties. It had filled you with rage when you saw the way they would cast anything in the way to achieve victory, but your anger is hollow now. You're not even sure you can feel anything at all. All you can think about is where you will find energon next.

There are no more relief stations near you, no more safe encampments that can take you in. All neutral parties, all crisis servants, have been pushed to the very edges of Cybertron where there is still just a bit of energon to mine. It wouldn't matter if you could get to them, anyway. Most have picked their side and will push recruitment if you come looking for aid, ensuring you will be safe if only you will be their fodder.

And you can't leave your home. Even when it is unrecognizable, the bright city lights long since blown out. This is where you want to be, the only place for you. You slowly duck and trudge between buildings, dirt settling in your joints and making the ache of your frame worse. You scan for any sign of energy, a leak of oil even, but it is bare here.

So lost in your HUD, you don't hear the clink of pedes on concrete, the glitching of your processor getting worse and more obstructive by the cycle. You try tapping at settings on your helm, but the static clears minimally. A giant blue mech stands in front of you when your vision clears of errors. You jump back, stumbling over your pedes to stay upright, and lean back to take in the intimidating bot before you.

His face is covered and his visor is red. So red against the white and blue of his paintjob. The blue gleams beautifully under the muffled sunlight, just barely able to break through the ash covering the sky. He must be important, or was. You could have never afforded a polish so uniform and bright. His chest is a window into a docked and rather comfortable looking cassette. You could laugh from how fortuitous this oasis is.

The purple of his insignia almost misses your awareness, but it is an ugly symbol and it hurts your optics to look upon it. You should be angry, but there is nothing. Perhaps this meeting is Primus' mercy, no matter how cold.

The large mech kneels in front of you, his helm still looming above your own, as his servo comes to rub dirt away from your faceplate. You don't shy away, despite the true dirtiness being in his allegiance. It's nice to feel a friendly touch. You eye his tapedeck enviously, like you want to rip the mech out of there and settle in its place. It's a horrible feeling that leaves a pit of shame in your tank. The fear and grief has turned you into an animal hungry for any sign of salvation.

The intimidating mech pulls from his subspace a wrapped packet: energon rations. Meager and half-eaten, it wouldn't be the best you've ever tasted, but you're grateful for the pity. It's hardly two bites before you're done. Despite the quality, it's the sweetest energon that's ever touched your glossa. Lubricant tracks down your cheekplates.

And despite it all, you want to live. A feeling that builds in your chassis and sings in your spark. You want to live, you want to leave this place. You don't care what you have to do. All you want is to tear free of the rubble and rip yourself from the metal melting down around you.

"Inquiry: Free to dock?" You grasp the opportunity with firm servos.

Does anyone know if any of the casseticons actually play music? Or are they blank tapes?

do they just find a song they like and have to go pester Soundwave to let them record it on themselves? This feels like a little kid getting temporary tattoos situation

Like- imagine Soundwave has like the imperial march recorded on Rumble and he goes to play it but Rumble's rerecorded something ridiculous on himself so now his dramatic entrance is followed by "I'm a Barbie Girl" instead

Transformers Fan Theories: The Mystery of Soundwave's Voice

Soundwave from G1 is well known for his iconic voice, but another thing about it is how he seems to be the only Transformer with a voice like it.

It is a curiosity in my opinion to the point where I think Soundwave actually has a secret. It is confirmed that because the Transformers are alive, they can have imperfections and even disabilities. Moreover, things like their helms and masks come off, but we have never seen Soundwave without his. With that, I have a wild and oxymoron of a fan theory about this guy that might actually be true.

I think Soundwave is actually mute and the voice we are hearing is actually thanks to an artificial voice box in his mask. It is also why the words he uses are robotic. The AI vocabulary in the voice box is limiting and imperfect. It also explains why Soundwave also tends to talk with hand gestures as though they are habitual. In other words, he used to talk using sign language and while he can talk now, old habits die hard.

So what do you think? Is Soundwave ironically actually mute and only speaks thanks to some assistance?
