I Never Do Art Trends Because I’m So Slooow But I Had To Hop In This One

Rain: A KOBD Comic

Me, reading my fic drafts: Damn this is pretty good, when's the author gonna finish it?

sometimes i just want to see his happiness.

AAAAAAAAAAAA I don't mean to hijack this but just Iove love the idea of TF one StarWaveWave and talking about them is my guilty pleasure. This interpretation of them is one of my favorite potential interpretations of their dynamic simply because it has so much opportunity and depth of flavor behind it where other universes may not as much. You have someone like Starscream who is often cocky and over confident and then two other guys next to him who in their own right have grown used to understanding his temperament and overall ideals. Yeah, he's annoying and mouthy, but they have to have already respected him to a certain degree after knowing and working beside him for so long/be willing to stand by his side after everything let along with his diva aft on a throne.

They've probably saved each other's afts too multiple times. It's a bond, that can't be necessarily broken from how it's shown in the film, Starscream has leader qualities, Shockwave is irrational but he listens when told, and Soundwave is ideally the most capable in terms of his temper, communication skills, and ability to work with others. He probably is the only one keeping anything working or in line at all when they left Cybertron with 0 clue what to do or how to manage shit. But it's probably hc to me that he let's Starscream run the show because he has the voice, aura, and general drive to be the one in the front, Soundwave is content standing behind him and so is Shockwave too. They remind me of those old married couples who can read each other without hesitation and just get it, even if they have those moments of "Why are you YELLING at me!😭" They know each other like the back of their servos, it's a given by now. AUUUUUUUUGH, I LOVE them

As much as I love DPax and Oplita,Low-key can we talk about these three though? Because tf One gave a lot of potential for StarWaveWave.

It's just simply how they are always together,in every single scene they are present throughout the movie,they are always together the only time they were separated was when Starscream got captured and even then Soundwave and Shockwave were always together,when they finished the rescue attempt alongside Orion and Elita the three of them immediately reunited/regrouped and continued to fight alongside eachother.

Literally don't separate them.

Even in the storyboards when they helped D-16 restrain Sentinel,and when they fought Optimus,and the subtle hints of camaderie that's what interesting about them as a ship/ot3. Shockwave also tried to interfere during Dee and Starscream's fight but Soundwave stopped him as much I believe he did that because he found it funny and enjoyed a brawl like any other Guard, I think it's also so because Soundwave kind of gets where this is going, Starscream at the time was not really trying to kill D-16 so he was holding back, trying to boast infront of an audience to give off a show of strength for their enjoyment,Soundwave has likely seen him do this a million times when he gets battle hungry before so he doesn't see the need to interfere if they get a good fight,that is before Dee took out the cannon.

One thing that I like about this continuity is it's Megatron who is the newer one to already pre established dynamics within the High Guard,which adds interesting potential for storylines, he's the one who needs to integrate himself and form a completely new dynamic around his new army.

The way I see StarWaveWave is mostly the Waves low-key getting annoyed with Starscream's antics,which is kind of the case in canon they definitely would bicker a lot because that is a given,but at the same time there is that camaderie as they've been working alongside eachother for hundreds if not thousands of cycles long before Sentinel's betrayal and even longer before they even met the quartet and became Decepticons ,so there is also like some care underneath all of it even if they wonder why they are tolerating eachother at times, Soundwave appears to be the most reasonable out of the three of them and Shockwave has a temper and gets irritated quickly and Starscream is Starscream enough said, there is room for some fun interactions.

Just a short post about why I love this ot3.

You have a choice between three brothers.

(I need a visual novel with them)

When you’re having a hard time with a level so you get your Boss to clear it for you 🙄 (Soundwave doesn’t have a damn clue as to what Rumble just said to him. Wdym “cracked”. His dad powers prevent him from being hip enough to get it) I love the style of the Ballpoint comic btw it’s so goofy and cute, absolutely perfect for the vision I wanted with this

Forgot to take my cleratin today /ref

Shadow probably thinks he’s dying lmao

generally you shouldn't write run-on sentences because they get confusing and it doesn't give the reader a break. that doesn't apply to me though my run-on sentences are fun and understandable and they have a rhythm to it that makes you want to keep reading

Ahh the brick that is Soundwave. Sometimes I just like to ponder his cassette player mode; as such cases, a handle? I figured it would kinda make sense 😌 but alas also makes him a very maneuverable thing, I’m sure those two most definitely are aware. But yknow? Being used to bash the face of your rival in is not the Worst thing to ever happen. It’s like a cat being held by the scruff if you think about it. Basically deactivates all movement cuz the mama is holding them

May I request tfp soundstar 🙏 please ?

No method more efficient for keeping an eye on that bug than just Holding him always I think 😌 Starscream’s just gonna have to deal with it. Soundwave has stuff to do and can’t always be away from his screens
