[From how he's describing his world, it's no surprise it would sound so fantastical to anybody. Of course, they are the bad, especially how Cybertron's society was in the past. Something Soundwave had lived through... Well, he could share stories and legends instead, those are less upsetting anyway.

All those questions would be met with a 'yes', but what Nike said at the end brings him pause. Everyone needs a friend, right!? How foolish. However, saying something like that, while being so earnest, he can't but be drawn to it, even when they're thinking about doing something so intimate. Soundwave, fortunately, doesn't lack friends here, but there's no harm making another, right?]

I suppose... Shall we meet somewhere? I can share more about my world with you later. Like I said, I had somewhat similar powers to yours. If yours doesn't work, we could try to forge a similar bond with my powers instead.

[If he was honest, he misses having a close telepathic link with someone... Of course, those sort of connections are reserved to close friends, rather than someone he just met and bonding together in that way.]
