Soundwave Chunk Superior.
Cw: Extreme fat, food consumption, eventual bedbound. Soundwave's cassettes can't fit in his deck anymore 😢
The others had enjoyed Soundwave's new curves, however there were a few who didn't appreciate it. Only because it inconvenienced them, really. His cassettes... to put it bluntly, couldn't fit.
Soundwave's chassis hardly fit in his armor. His chest filled up the cassette deck, the protomesh sitting comfortably where the minicons should be.
He couldn't transform, which wasn't a problem as he wasn't on any spy missions. Indeed, the Decepticons were spoiling him by giving him privileges in his new shape.
He hated it at first. He enjoyed the fat, sure, but he was antsy to do something. The only tasks he got were sitting down. The fat of his back and belly spilled over the sides of chairs. His armor creaked in protest when he moved too quickly... as did his belly.
While listening to frequencies, Soundwave had taken up snacking. The frequencies were his only consistent task. Bored, he started on softer foods like energon jellies. Eventually he craved something crunchy and although it disrupted his audials to listen to the radiowaves, he indulged his rumbly tummy and snacked on rust sticks. The crunch delighted his intake and settled nicely in his belly. He missed a couple faint words from Autobot frequencies but hey, what Megatron didn't know wouldn't hurt him.
Recharge time was a relief to his spine. He sat heavily on his berth, swinging one leg at a time up. He let out a crackly groan when he settled down. The relief was instant. Although his fat was a blessing to many oglers, his spine and back armor creaked angrily sometimes.
The cassettes had given up trying to get in. Lazerbeak perched above Soundwave's bed, head hidden under her wing. Ravage laid on her own berth on the floor. Rumble and Frenzy tried their best to lay on the berth with Soundwave but the rolls of fat scooted them off and onto the floor. They eventually got their own charging stations in the corner of the room.
As Soundwave kept eating, he grew. He had to install a new berth thanks to sweetened energon. Soon he had to sit on his berth and listen to frequencies instead of heading to the transmission room. He sat up when doing his duties, but eventually gave up to laying down when his back hurt. He was still damn good at his job. Soundwave superior...
