This Is How I Imagine Soundwave Handles Starscream When He's Being Difficult, It Only Works To A Varying

This is how I imagine Soundwave handles Starscream when he's being difficult, it only works to a varying degree of success and depends on the universe 🤣

This one in specific is probably TFP and G1 given how their relationships span out in my writing on ao3

Though I could always argue that if ES Soundwave said down, ES Starscream would get down immediately and shut up (a mad wife is not to be messed with haha)

But seriously, you two should be proper adults and communicate instead of doing this. i'm sure once the shock of realizing what happened passes, they will and make up from whatever argument it was. But the seekers (TC, Skywarp, Nova Storm) will never let Starscream live this down (he lost the, 'no, i'm not whipped by Soundwave' argument in a sparkbeat)

like Starscream was probably arguing with Soundwave over something dumb (theyre married by now) and the girls are like, "ur not gonna grovel?!"

Starscream: ????? I HAVE PRIDE, THANK YOU-

Soundwave: GET DOWN NOW!!!

Starscream on his knees before he even realizes what happened and groveling

Soundwave: "…"

the girls: "…."

Starscream: "...." (he is as shocked as everyone else and confused why he's on the ground for soundwave, but if he runs now, then it's worse and soundwave will be more mad)
