A Gut-Wrenching Promise

While stuck on Earth, Megatron introduces Shockwave to the new member of the Decepticons. A transformer made on Earth whose entire existence and strange speech pattern catches his attention. Unfortunately, Shockwave is far too emotionally detached from society to realize why the word colleague no longer fits the relationship between them. Soundwave, a mech whose main occupation is to record and store information on everything and anything, wants nothing more than to keep records and files on the estranged scientists who speak highly of experiments that could make anyone purge their tanks. The problem? His only experience of socializing and of acceptable societal norms is through Earth media like television dramas and reality TV.
