RUDE. People like Soundwave just fine! He has a bunch of friends...like Megatron. And Laserbeak. He looks down at the drone clasped onto his chest. She gives a mild flick of her wings as if to reassure him. OK, so maybe he didn't have many friends.

Soundwave turns what Rodimus is saying over in his head. It is logical. And now more than ever he needs the cooperation of his fellow Decepticons.

"Soundwave: requesting Rodimus to assist in education."

Perhaps by the end of this he may even consider the ex-Autobot one of his...friends. Despite his bad taste in satire.
