So I have a Mildly messed up TFP AU Idea that mostly revolves around Soundwave Angst.
So I thought up an AU where sadly yes, Rumble and Frenzy are dead BUT what Soundwave doesn’t know is that while they’ve been on Earth, Shockwave’s been experimenting on their corpses, rebuilding them, and shaping them into a new individual, they are built anew. Not as Rumble nor Frenzy, no she’s something else! She’s Enemy!
Of course when Shockwave does end up on Earth, Enemy following along. Soundwave notices but does react—not in the presence of Megatron— they kept it together until in their room….and just stand there not knowing how to feel or how act as they normally did aboard the nemesis when Enemy is here, when they can SEE who she used to be. It tears at them to see that Rumble and Frenzy just Gone.
