I think a lot about Pits of Kaon gladiator cuddlepuddles before and after a match. Just…Megatron and Soundwave curled up together trying to catch some shuteye for a few hours before they go out to fight, or plopping down in each other’s laps for 15 minutes between events. And you bet Orion is absolutely involved in the cuddlepuddles. He’s often spotted in the gladiator quarters of the arena stroking Megatronus’s helm with one servo and loosely holding Soundwave’s tentacle in the other.

Good way to stay sane in a place where nearly everyone is trying to kill you- lots of contact with whoever isn’t.
