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.
I drew a thing but listen Shockwave would probably groove on having an immortal frankensteined mess around. Waspinator is less groovy about it and keeps trying to eat Shockwave.
Sparklings in TF: Matrix are weird I can’t wait until I have to make the cast deal with one. Also baby starscream is fun to draw.
Protip: in matrix they don’t act like babies. Sparklings are more akin to wild animals- born with powerful survival instincts and defensive mechanisms and little language skills or reasoning. It only takes them a few weeks (usually 2-6 weeks, dependent upon size and food availability. Some can take a few months, or longer, but it’s rare) to reach “adulthood” and let me tell you; if a human and a freshly-hatched newspark got in a fight?
Well, humans are covered in far less knives than a newspark. Even if they have blunted fingers as adults, sparkling phases usually have small, sharp piton-like claws to assist in climbing larger bots, and may sport jaws and mandibles they later shed, so that they can eat virtually any source of nutrients, be it liquid or crystal energon, or raw metals.
….it doesn’t have eyelids yet so it’s gaze is just a perpetual OwO stare.
@transformersmr-hq and @trinketsandtangles These two responses are surprisingly related!
Who needs a scratching post when you’ve got your long-time enemies around to chew and claw up?
