#hp fandom with legilimency meta influenced how i view Soundwave's telepathy

[witchofthesouls]

Would Tfp!Op and Tfp!Soundwave sense something off about Sam the first because matrix nonsense and latter a telepath?

Yes and no. Sam Witwicky is the human version of an orange cat. No one has any idea what's up with that guy, and it's harder since it's dimensionsal travel. That a whole other level of fuckery that no one has documented before.

TFP!Optimus may get vibes, depending on how helpful the Matrix wants to be (which is either rare or too cryptic to comprehend). Meanwhile, Sam had too many bad experiences with the 'cons messing with his own things or his head, so he's rightfully paranoid with picking up tech that hasn't been thoroughly dissected by the 'bots and N.E.S.T.

He would absolutely do his damnest to stay far away from the Decepticons, especially since TFP doesn't have an official unit that's dedicated to working with and among the Autobots. Agent Fowler is only one man, and he's more of a liason between specific groups. So he wouldn't be around Soundwave long enough to justify the mech to delve into his head. Not unless Soundwave doesn't mind the guy to be braindead...

Sam has Weird Luck and a Talent for destroying his enemies' plans, so perhaps he becomes a living detector via astral projection (a blessing and a curse from his dimension's Primes) for Primal Artifacts.

(Cue another massive manhunt for Sam.)
