Humanized Shockwave is homeless and not impressed

[2be_logical]

So you haven't merely recalled me in passing after all. Though I'm curious as to why you recalled me in this form rather than my true one.

Also why you would wish to recall me after that particular incident. I am fairly certain that no one would benefit from this.
Ah. Save for you, as... entertainment, of course.

My my Shockwave... you've let yourself go since I last saw you!

But don't take it too personally you old dog, I wouldn't dream of deliberately offending one of my favourite customers after all~

Besides, if anyone can pull the human look off, it's definitely you!

[2be_logical]

Sometimes I must wonder if all of your customers are not your favorite, Swindle. You seem to have so many among the ranks of the noble Decepticons it might make one suspicious~

Though I must say, I have worn more unfortunate forms than this one, and for far longer.

[youhavebeenswindled]

What can I say, I have so many spectacular clients that it's hard to choose a favourite sometimes~ Lord Megatron is my number one customer of course, with you very much near the top.

[Because he's a Decepticon and... all hail Lord Megatron and all that...]

After all, I don't sell shipments of a delicate nature to just anyone y'know. You've proven yourself reliable enough that I'm willing to take that risk for you. As for the shape shifting thing, you can never have too much experience am I right?

[2be_logical]

My. Such flattery, my good mech. Though I am certain that Lord Megatron would be pleased to hear such from you; would that I could reliably pass it along to him.

[Not that he needs to, he's sure that Megatron knows already. And all hail~]

And I am also certain that you quite enjoy the reliability of my payments in addition~

[bestfreedomfighter]

That is a most unfortunate infliction you have there, Shockwave.

[He doesn't sound angry or disgusted.

But you know he is.]

[2be_logical]

My lord-!

[Oh. Slag.]

There is little to be done to remedy it, I am afraid. I would hardly choose this... lesser form myself.

[bestfreedomfighter]

Then there is little to be done about your usefulness to me, am I right?

[The dismissiveness in his tone is subtle, but it's there. Shockwave is a very useful asset to him... but only if he's able to do his job. Humans are useful, yes, but not the extent that Megatron wants.]

It is quite pitiful to see my most loyal subordinate be forced to this level.

[2be_logical]

You are correct as always, Lord Megatron.

[He knows he's of little enough use like this to him. However, it's not as though he has allowed sudden alterations to the plan to stop him in the past. This is simply another bump in the road.]

I will still perform to the best of my abilities and skills in whatever task you deem to assign me, my liege. I can do no less.
