redterrortwin, wannaseemahcannons, and cold-calculating-logic, all run by a single mun, are amazing accounts. Sideswipe is a little shit, Ironhide is amazingly in character, and Shockwave... Well, he's taken and shaped to be an amazing character. Keep it up, ya little dork~ <3
//Scanning for energy signature…//
//One Decepticon signal detected//
Why were all the Shockwaves following him now? "For Pitssake, you antlered freak, I left the Decepticons and my universe's Megatron. So frag off; I'm no threat to your Megatron."
Now I gotta confess, I haven't been paying real close attention to them and their relationship (as adorable as it is), so my apologies if this isn't terribly close to their actual dynamic. It's just my interpretation and thoughts.
THUNDERCRACKER IS ABOVE MIXING HIS OWN FUEL. And Shockwave doesn't have time for that nonsense. He buys cheap generic energon and drinks it straight from the cube as is and if Thundercracker doesn't like it, he can bring his own.
how often do they fight?:
They fight so often. Because Thundercracker starts all the fights. All of them. If it's a factual matter, like, how far is Earth from Cybertron, Shockwave will calmly keep explaining the facts no matter how many times Thundercracker tries to contradict them. Just completely 100% patient with TC's BS. But if it's a matter of opinion or subjective things, Shock will cave the moment TC complains.
"Let's go to the library."
"NO IT WOULD BE BETTER TO GO TO THE MOVIES!"
"Okay."
"I SAID––wait, what? Oh. All right."
what do they do when they’re away from each other?:
TC spends his time wondering whether or not he's In Love or In A Relationship and Does Shockwave Feel The Same, etc. etc.
Shockwave? Gives absolutely no fucks. He carries on business as usual. He like... he just doesn't feel. The capacity to feel was removed from him. So he doesn't know what's up with him and TC. He just... endeavors to have TC around. And is inclined to do nice things for him. And he just doesn't understand why.
But it doesn't bother him that he doesn't understand why because he can't feel bothered. So he just goes "shrug?" and carries on with his work.
In some weird way, he can still be in love; he just cannot feel love.
nicknames for each other?:
Absolutely none.
who is more likely to pay for dinner?:
Shockwave. "I don't have money! It would be stupid for me to pay! YOU'RE the host, YOU should be treating ME!" "All right, Thundercracker."
who steals the covers at night?:
Thundercracker. Shockwave tries to steal them back for a while, then gave up. He found it more logical to keep a spare blanket folded up by the berth, to take out and put on after TC's stolen the covers.
what would they get each other for gifts?:
Shockwave would just straight up ask TC what he wants and give him that. TC would spend most of his time going "I DON'T NEED TO GIVE HIM ANYTHING" and then right before going to visit him would go "oh frag I can't show up with nothing" and scramble around for something to swipe and take to him.
who remembers things?:
Shockwave. He's got photographic memory.
who cusses more?:
TC. Shockwave just doesn't cuss. At all. It's illogical.
what would they do if the other one was hurt?:
Shockwave would have this momentary, baffling flare of panic that he doesn't know how to process, which he'd quickly shove aside and then go rescue TC, get him somewhere safe, and do first aid. If needed, he'd then get him to a medic. And then he'd have something like a half-strangled nervous breakdown as all the stress that he didn't even know he was having got to him.
TC would be torn between rescuing him and running off to avenge him, so he'd trip over his own fragging feet trying to do both.
who kissed who first?:
......... i dont remember who did first. So I'll say that in my mind I'd see TC doing it first.
"...Shockwave." The word was really all he needed to say. He was familiar with the sight of the cyclopean mech's optic, even if the frame wasn't the one he was familiar with.
"I'd say it's a pleasure, but I figure you're not here for a social call."
