Also, seeing as the Matrix Nemesis is sapient (by, uh, accident, it’s a long story you’ll find it out later) the inverse of like any other Decepticons trying to steal their Nemesis just results in a pissy Nemesis who would land and just sit there. Like. Stubborn.
Has Soundwave adopted the Nemesis as basically one of his symbiotes?
Sort of? Nemesis actually rather views the Decepticons as her own symbiotic life forms. Nemesis can be Soundwave’s mommy, and thus is the deployers’ grandma.
This is the best thing.
I bet Soundwave has a little blanket-lined nook somewhere that he can curl up in like a deployer in their host’s dock and just relax in when everyone else is being a moron.
