okok so this isn't exactly coswave related, but i love your soundwave sm. would you happen to have any hcs about soundwave and ravage and their dynamic?? btw i love your art and im eating it nom nom
YES LETS FUCKING GOOO you have no idea how much I love soundwave and cassette relationships so THANK YOU FOR ASKINGGG
Cassette and carrier dynamics are very unique and fluid depending on the mechs involved. Every carrier has a different dynamic, so itā€™s not always a ā€œparent/childā€ ā€œboss/gruntā€ or etc etc kinda dynamic.
The relationship between cassette and carrier oftentimes transcends our understanding of relationships.
For soundwave and his cassettes, the dynamic is very very close and friendly! They love eachother and protect eachother but thereā€™s no designated caregiverā€”the role is often stepped into, so itā€™s very malleable and sort of depends on the circumstances. With that being said though, that doesnā€™t mean there isnā€™t a subtle hierarchy.
Soundwave was found by Ravage, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw in the Dead End and the four (Rav and the birds were already in a mutually beneficial arrangement) eventually formed a very strong bond. Ravage is kinda the head honchoā€”sheā€™s not the boss per se (that title affectionately goes to Soundwave) but she ensures safety and security for the pack. Ravageā€™s approval is generally a MUST for anything to happen.
Soundwave rarely goes anywhere without Ravage. If Soundwave is present, it is an almost guarantee that ravage is somewhere close by. If Ravage isnā€™t available, Buzzsaw and Laserbeak will be (note: rumble and frenzy also have a strong bond with soundwave but they tend to be more independent from the carrier. They still love and protect eachother, but theyā€™re speciality is more like the horrible roommates who help soundwave blow stuff up).
Ravage is a very tactile mech, believe it or not. Sheā€™s either wound around soundwaves ankles, perched on his shoulder, or in his lap. Touch was grounding for Soundwave during their time in the Dead End and old habits are hard to break (ie ravage refuses to stop).
Ravage grooms like a cat. Sheā€™ll wrestle soundwave to the ground to groom her face. The birds arenā€™t safe either. Sheā€™ll grab them out of the sky and sit on them to groom them. Rumble and frenzy are about the same size as Ravage (sheā€™s a big girl) so she tackles them easy. Nobody is safe.
Soundwave has cat tendencies bc of ravage. His tape deck whrrs when heā€™s happy/content and it resembles a purr (he learned early on that itā€™s a calming gesture and an easy way to calm ravage down, later learning that it works for the other cassettes as well. Now itā€™s more subconscious than anything else). They also headbutt to show affectionā€”a rare occurrence outside of their cassettesā€”but theyā€™ll bump their head against the birds if theyā€™re on her shoulder or gently headbutt one of the twins after a particularly difficult battle.
If Ravage is pissed off she gets petty. Sheā€™ll hide your stuff, sheā€™ll tear stuff up, try to ā€˜accidentallyā€™ trip you, etc etc. and honestly Soundwave can also get petty. Theyā€™re no better than she is. When they get into arguments itā€™s horrible for everyone around.
Small coswave note: ravage knew soundwave had a crush on cosmos before soundwave even did. She stalked cosmos obsessively and made note of every little way he acted around soundwave. Only the best for her kit (donā€™t worry, she begrudgingly approved eventually)
Thatā€™s all I can think of right now but yeah they mean. So much to me. THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I LOVE THESE AND ENJOY YOUR ART MEAL EEHEHE ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøšŸ›øšŸ›ø

Itā€™s all fun and games until Ratbat corrects the Decepticon expenses spreadsheet to Megatrons face (and probably the Autobots one too)
Megatron: As a child of my dear Soundwave, you are an addition to a long list of excellent spies, warriors, and scientists. What do you do? Ratbat:

He spoke once in the entire show just to tell everyone heā€™s better than them
The ā€œSoundwave: Superiorā€ scene in Prime is iconic for many reasons, however it will never fail to get me that Bulkheadā€™s first reaction when Soundwave crashes his own drives and falls unconscious is to assume that he just fucking killed himself. There is zero doubt in his mind that Soundwave would rather voluntarily die than give up Decepticon secrets, and I really think that says a lot about prime!Soundwave.

Starscream canonically considers the cassettes Soundwave's children.

I mostly forgot that Soundwave was canonically telepathic and may i mention just how damn annoying/scary that must be as a Decepticon, knowing your TIC can literally read minds somewhat.
I can say as someone who will worry about telepaths for a split second before remembering that they don't exist, there's definitely going to be a few mecha who get SUPER paranoid about the most petty of shit.

So uhh, the brainworms took control this afternoon and I made this. It's slightly based on this post that I can't stop thinking about.
