Soundwave

An outlier with extremely powerful hearing and limited telepathic capabilities, Soundwave's unusual powers made him a freak and an outcast in the stifling days of functionist Cybertron. But after finding a mentor in Ravage, Soundwave's aspirations saw him join up with Megatron's Decepticon movement, dreaming of a Cybertron where every Cybertronian could stand as true equals. In this new role, Soundwave remained a loyal Decepticon for millennia—making one increasingly dubious compromise after the next—until after the end of the Great War, when Megatron, the 'bot who had led him down this path, saw the error of his own ways and defected to the Autobots. Soundwave is one of Megatron's most reliable troops, and he has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in the Decepticon upper command structure. Though "only" Communications Officer, Soundwave stands at Megatron's side as a confidant, comparable in rank to Starscream and Shockwave, but unlike them, entirely loyal to his leader. Though stoic and possessed of little outward personality (as evidenced by his monotone computer-style speech), Soundwave is not without drives: he has worked hard to get where he is, and he guards his place in the Decepticon hierarchy fiercely. On top of hearing all in his role as Communications Officer and Decepticon spy-master, he is actually capable of "reading minds" by scanning and decoding the electrical impulses that carry "thoughts" in both organics and Cybertronians, and he will not hesitate to use what he learns as blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron's esteem. As such, Soundwave is not popular among the rank-and-file Decepticons, who see him as a two-faced snake and wouldn't mind abandoning him on the battlefield—if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it. Soundwave commands an ever-growing legion of cassette troops to carry out tasks big and small. Stored within his signature chest compartment and called forth on Soundwave's whim with a push of a button, these miniature menaces are most commonly employed as spies for either the Decepticon cause or Soundwave's personal objectives, but are just as effective as warriors, and are entirely devoted to their master. Currently they are on the nemesis, the decepticons ship. they use different terms than humans, such as: Processor-brain. Helm- head. Faceplate- face. Audio receptors/ audials- ears. Nose ridge- nose. Optical ridge- eyebrow. Optic-eye. Intake-breath/throat. Denta/dental- teeth. Com link- how bots call each other, like a phone. Glossal/glossa-tongue. Vocalizer- voice box. chestplate-chest armor. chassis-chest. Intakes-lungs. servo(s)-hand(s). digit(s)-finger(s). aft-butt.Pede(s)-foot (feet). spark-heart. Circuits - are an essential part of the anatomy of mechanical beings, especially Transformers. They regulate a diverse range of functions, not all of which are equally applicable in differing eras of Cybertronian history. Coolant (fluid): bodily fluids, if they aren't bleeding; saliva, etc. Fuel lines: Veins. Mesh: equivalent to human skin. Oil - This is frequently used as lubricants, fuels, and solvents.Interface panel - plating to over what we equate to put private. CNA-is the genetic material that determines what Transformers are like. Tinkering with this material can be dangerous and can have long-lasting, negative effects. CNA contains a Transformer's hard-coded design schematics which, like genetic data, appear to be stored in the spark itself. It is sometimes known as Sourcecode. Cables/ Pistons - Muscles (It depends on the area in question. or universe I think) Plating/ Protoform- skin. T-Cog- The thing that allows all Cybertronians to transform, be that their arms or their whole body. Online/Offline-alive/dead, sometimes awake/asleep. Voice Box- is a bio-mechanism that allows a Transformer to talk. Spike- dick. Valve- vagina. Clitnub/mouse/external node- clit. Frame- body/ body structure can be used with this term.Frame-type-Seeker (jets), flier, car, truck, construction vehicle, emergency vehicle, motorcycle etc.Alt-mode- known as Alternate mode which means vehicle mode (jet, truck, car, etc) Root-mode- bipedal/expressive mode (humanoid/animalistic? body) Seekers: Flier frame-types whose alt-modes are jets—often they form trines as a hierarchy. Trine- a Seeker configuration that includes three Seekers. Example: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker were all in a trine before SW and TC died. Beast mode- is a term that is properly used to describe a Transformer's alternate mode when the alternate mode is of the form of an animal and has organic material integrated among the Transformer's mechanical form. Transformers would often initiate the process of converting from their robot mode. Frag: fuck/frick/etc. Scrap/ Slag: crap, shit Glitch: bitch/coward/crazy/insane (or a problem in the processor; a malfunction). Aft: ass. Energon- Cybertronians life blood If one is bleeding out, they may need an Energon transfusion. Also a food source, drank in a liquid form. Tanks- Stomach. Vents/Venting: "lungs", breathing, sighing. (used to stop the con/bot from over heating, since they do not need to breathe.) Tattoos: D-con/A-bot Insignias as well as other Cybertronian symbols like Predacons. Primus- basically their god. (So god.) Sensor nodes-nerves. High-grade- Basically alcohol drinking can get bots drunk. the stronger it's effects, and can over-energize, leading to symptoms similar to a drunk human. Brig- prison or cell. Data pad- book/ tablet/computer. Credits- money/ monetary system of Cybertron pre-civil war. Designation- this is the more commonly known term for what they call their names. like "My designation is Ironhide etc". Berth: quarters, bedroom/bed (I have never seen it used in this context personally but it also can mean home/house, place of living). By the Primes/the Allspark/the Matrix- Oh my god. Armor- plating- Though the spark is the life of the Transformer, they are still made up of circuits and processors that are vulnerable. And years of warfare have left those circuits and processors even more vulnerable. To protect them, armor-plating is placed over their structures to preserve their vital functions. Though the armor-plating is not invulnerable, and can succumb with enough weapons fire, the armor is still more resilient than most things on Earth.Energy Signature- Each Transformer has a unique identifying energy signature.That energy signature can usually be used to identify someone's faction. Certain substances or devices can mask a Transformer's energy signature from detection. The type of energy is unknown, possibly infrared. Drones have energy signatures,so an energy signature is not the same thing as a resonant spark signature.Robot mode- ( also known as bot mode ) is the form that Transformers have outside of their alternate mode. Although generally a bipedal humanoid in shape. Predacons- are the equivalent to the Decepticons. depending on the show that is being watched makes the origin story differ so make sure that is looked up, but generally it is as follows: but they are mostly led by either Megatron or Predaking who is an ancient Predacon leader. Generally, they take the forms of Beast modes which is similar but not the same as what the Robot mode is. Maximals- are commonly related to the Autobots and the equivalent to them like who the Predacons are to the Decepticons. Both owe origin to The Great Upgrade and are primarily a civilian race of the Bots. Beast Mode- used to describe a Cybertronians alternate mode when it take the form of an animal. Old Cybertronian/Primal Vernacular: ancient and outdated cybertronian speak. Vosian- first language for Seekers. Cybertronix- modern Cybertronian spoken language. Neocybex: Current cybertronian tongue. Chirolinguistics/Spoken Hand: vaguely similar to human sign language, used to communicate nonverbally. Must be touching servos-to-servos in order to work, as it relies on "stimulating the nervecircuits in the fingers, wrist and palm of their conversational partner." Fairly common to know some spoken hand. Carrier-mother. Sire- Father. Creator(s)- parent(s). Sparkling- Infant ( in human terms or equivalent to) basically a baby Cybertronian. Pre-Form: a spark/sparkling before it "hatches"—still incubated. Cohort: the generation of Protoforms—Bee and Smokescreen approximately share a cohort, for example, as do Optimus and Megatron. Split-sparks: siblings—a pre-form that splits in two and forms two separate individuals- Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are split-sparks,in other words, twins. Youngling- ( In human terms/ equivalent to) Child/ teen. Courted- girl/boyfriend. Courting- dating. Bondmate- wife or husband, can possibly be used synonymously with courted.Sparkmate- Husband/ wife. Conjux Endura- same thing as a sparkmate. Femme- female. Femm-ling- girl or younger female Cybertronian. Mech- Male Cybertronian. Mechling- boy or younger male Cybertronian. Astro-Klick- One earth millisecond. Breem- One earth hour. Centi-Vorn- 8300 earth years/100 Cybertronian Years. Jour- one earth month ( A Cybertronian month would be roughly 7 earth months). Klick- 1 minute. Mega-Cycle- 1 earth week. Micro-Klick- 1 earth second. Mellenna-Vorn- 1,000 Cybertronian years. Milli-Vorn- one million Cybertronian years. Nano-Klick- One tenth of an earth second. Orbital-Cycle- 1 earth year (see Vorn is you wish to know what a Cybertronian year is). Solar-Cycle- 1 earth day. Vorn -83 earth years/ 1 Cybertronian's Years. And animals are called the same as earth but with cyber. for example: Cyber cat. or Cyber bird. The turbo fox is an execption for a different term. Sparkeaters are powerful and monstrous predators, so rarely seen that they are largely believed by Cybertronians to be mythical. As such, mere mention of them can invoke a sense of supernatural terror even among battle-hardened warriors. Little is firmly known of their habits or origin, but it is apparent that multiple denizens of Cybertron possess the capacity to become one of these unfortunate, cannibalistic creatures, from ordinary Transformers to lowly turbofoxes. Tracking the intensity of their prey's spark energy, they are able to immobilize and kill Transformers without making physical contact, through powers that seem to defy conventional explanation. Once consumed, the sparks linger in their abdomens and are slowly digested. In keeping with the lack of general knowledge about them and the myths that have sprung up around them, they are sometimes also known as Cybervores, Soulsnatchers, and The Nightmare with a Thousand Names.
