It was morning. The lights started to run across that hemisphere of Cybertron. All the buildings slowly being touched by the light.
In one of those, there was a young cybertronian, still recharging. The last cycle was specially exhausting, since them was studying a lot of stuff. What stuff? Mainly technology, applied to communications. Their designation: Soundwave.
Soundwave had spent a few megacycles studying for getting a decent work. And this was the last one, finally. During that time, they met someone who later become their best friend. He was designated Megatron. He was strong, and luckily, he has a work. He is 3 years older than Soundwave, after all.
An alarm sounds. Is time to wake up. Soundwave is still recharging, only reached at 85%.
- No....carrier, 5 minutes more... - Soundwave snores and then yawns. Also tries to wake up and sits, still with both optics closed. The young bot scratches the back of their head. The alarm is still making a lot of noise. Soundwave searches in a little table next to the bed, using only a hand. Their vision is kinda bad, and needs to use a visor. Its yellow, like their optics. Finally founds it and puts it on.
- Now, is time to shut- - Soundwave looked at the hour with fear. They was 2 and half hours late. - OH NO!! - They shouted, throwing the alarm clock to a wall. Soundwave somehow didn't broke it.
Soundwave took their facemask, putting it on in a fast move. It gaves them some confidence. The mask had a vocoder, making their voice to sound like a machine. It makes them feel better.
- Goodbye Laserbeak!! - They said to their friend, a young black and red cybertronian bird. -I'll try to do things better this time! - Soundwave said, closing the door.

In another place, there was a young cybertronian, studying too, but for science. His designation was Shockwave. He was dedicated, a bit messy, but nothing he couldn't control. He was a perfect student. He even liked to socialize, something odd for such a nerd.
He liked to being always on time, he even wakes up every morning before the alarm clock. Well, he doesn't even needed it.
That morning he woke up, 40 minutes before the morning even began. Shockwave woke up and made his bed in like 3 minutes, it looked like he never recharged there. Then he took a shower after filtering his tank. 15 minutes later he took his energon ration, consuming it by a line in the lower part of his head.
It wasn't his fault to not have a face, like most of the cybertronians. His helm looked like his carrier's, except for his audials, and his body frame, they look like his sire's.
He went next to a window and sat, after all, he was still on time. He liked to see the dawn every day. The light touching everything, it was beautiful. The yellow color reminds him of his carrier, whose optic was yellow, like his.
Some minutes passed. He got up and went to a drawer below his bed. There was his other arm, this one had a claw instead of a hand. He sadly has lost his left arm in a terrible accident. He doesn't remember exactly what happened, but since that day, he hasn't seen his creators again.
He took his datapad, his coat, and some lab stuff he had in his house. Shockwave opened the door and closed it silently. The young bot went walking until finally arrived to the academy.

Woahhh that was great. I'm finally doing it! Writting here instead of Tumblr!
Some notes:
1. This will sound like of humanformers, but it isn't. But if you want to read it like that, I guess that's fine. Also, this can be like an AU, but is just something I imagine, but I dunno.
2. Non binary Soundwave, yes
3. In G1 I have the headcanon that Empurata isn't practiced, they just born like that. Also, they're lots of optic colors.
4. Sires and carriers do exist. Vector Sigma is...like..a Temple I guess?
5. A megacycle is a year. A decacycle is a month. Weeks and days have the same equivalent as in Earth.
