a deep growl escapes Soundwave's vocalizer. He wants to destroy Rodimus. But, killing a fellow Decepticon (even if he's sure that its only a technicality) would be wrong. He forces himself to swallow down the firey coals of anger. Perhaps a heart to heart with his new comrade is required.

"Soundwave: not in possession of humor" He monotones, taking a step closer. "Objective: replace destroyed wall panel. Forgiveness will be earned."
