[Transformers] Changed the leader, I am under a lot of pressure

Once realized, PRIME is also very actionable.The first thing he did was to gnaw on the T-level paper on elephants.

He noticed that among such a wealth of information, the author did not reveal at all why he likes elephants.They only focus on describing how cute, how smart, how contagious this creature is, and what a miracle of evolutionary history it is...without bringing any personal experience into it.

So when Optimus Prime and Sound Wave met next time, after correcting some scientific details of the article, Optimus Prime couldn't help asking Sound Wave this question.

"When we were on Earth, we were in a mess."

Reflecting back on Soundwave, Optimus Prime realized he was talking about when the Decepticons and the Autobots faced off on Earth.

"One time we were hiding in the African wilderness without too many shielding objects. We had a herd of wild elephants near us, and they were surprised by our arrival at first, but later, they got used to it."

Optimus Prime can imagine how embarrassing the Decepticons were at that time. They originally despised any creatures lower than them, especially carbon-based.To live peacefully with the local elephant herd, I am afraid that I really don't have the energy and energy to disperse these local creatures.

"Then, one time, the laser bird flew a long way on a mission, came back with almost no energy, and was attacked by a vulture. After a fight, it fell to the ground."

"Then?" Optimus Prime asked curiously.

"Afterwards, an elephant picked it up, found me, and gave it to me."

"...!!"

"Yeah, they've been watching us all the time. It, the elephant, noticed that Laserbird was with me a lot, my buddy. They're really smart."

In fact, Optimus Prime himself had never been in contact with an elephant, but he still couldn't help but nodded.He could imagine the intelligence officer's gratitude, those tapes were friends to Soundwave, even family members.

"As a reward and thanks, I picked some fruits for it."

"and after?"

"Later, some poachers killed it. I was very angry, so I opened fire. Humans found our position, so you Autobots came."

Really, I can't even say sorry.

"But you know, for some reason, those elephant herds thought I— thought we were their friends. Before the Autobots came, they raised their noses and gave a loud warning, and then they left their original habitat."

"They are really smart." Optimus Prime admired, "It should be because you have been kind to them that they want to repay you."

"Well, Lord Megatron doesn't hate elephants either."

"——!!!" The development of this topic was a little scary, and Optimus Prime was indeed taken aback.

"Elephants are very gentle and have no intention of actively attacking. As long as you don't get close to their children, they will be quite friendly. This kind of non-lethal and aggressive animal makes Master Megatron more at ease."

Optimus Prime believes that with the size of an elephant alone, people on earth will never think that it is a gentle and harmless animal.It's no surprise, though, that Megatron, despite his irascible personality, appreciates warriors of good quality.Elephants are loyal and united, and it's normal for Megatron to have a slight fondness for these creatures.

However, the bigger reason is that this intelligence officer is particularly fond of elephants, right?Of course, Optimus Prime will not say this guess.

"Then what about you, what is your favorite creature on Earth?" The intelligence officer thought secretly from this to infer Prime's preferences, personality, and weaknesses.

"Well, it's still human after all."

The answer wasn't too unexpected, but Soundwave was a little disappointed.

Optimus Prime's preference for human beings seems to be known to the entire universe, and there is nothing that can be explosive.

"Humans are very complicated. Whether they are good people, evil people, or people who fight against us for their own righteousness, the rich emotions of these human beings make me feel... well... probably I am envious."

"envious?"

"Hmm. People who hate us because their loved ones were accidentally injured; or people who are willing to help us in order to maintain peace and justice; and people who pay all costs for their own desires and become public enemies—these human beings, Their emotion is intense and beautiful, my processor can't understand it all, but I'm envious, I like their emotional side."

Soundwave kind of understands what Optimus Prime is saying, and as a mind reader, he understands the complexities of human emotions better than anyone else.The emotions of the Cybertronians are more paranoid, more singular, and occasionally a little more complicated, but it is not difficult to distinguish.Human emotions are like colorful things mixed together to form a painting with unclear meaning, and sometimes it is difficult for them to distinguish the meaning.

"We have a high degree of intelligence and are individuals with independent lives, but the evolution of the emotional module is indeed far inferior to that of humans. Probably because their carbon-based structure is decisively different from ours." Sound Bo speculated, "What do you think? Emotional desire may also be a yearning for this higher evolution."

"Really, I don't think so. Your statement is a bit too cruel. It's like if I say that you like elephants because you want to understand elephants to evolve, what do you think?" Optimus Prime asked sharply.

If it was Megatron, he would probably have a tit-for-tat debate with him, and the two would have been fighting and arguing for a long time.

But Soundwave only thought for a moment before agreeing with Optimus Prime: "Yes, sorry, you're right. I shouldn't have said that."

Faced with such an easily persuadable sound wave, Optimus Prime didn't know how to answer for half a second.Only then did he remember that this intelligence officer has always been like this. He is a person who is more used to listening than to argue with others.

"Soundwave, listen to me. What if..."

He took a step forward, lowered his head, and was close enough to feel the chatter of the opponent's gears.

"...If it were now, Cybertron at peace, have you ever wondered who you would spend the rest of your time with?"

"Of course, my tapes."

"I mean, except them."

Optimus Prime couldn't help getting closer, this time Sound Wave noticed that the distance between the two was too close, and subtly retreated a little.He couldn't help remembering that he had faced this problem before, when he just bypassed it with a joking statement.But the current leaders may not be able to accept this answer.

"No."

The sound wave turned his head too far, it was too close, but behind him was the edge of the sea cliff, no further retreat was allowed.

"No?"

The sound of PRIME is different from the past, it seems a little dull, but also has a kind of residual heat that is difficult to dissipate.

"I don't think about that kind of future. Optimus Prime, have you ever wondered how much stuff I have in my database that shouldn't be known? Not just Decepticons or Autobots, but some other... no Things that should be known."

The sound wave replied softly, blurring the source of the information.

"If I had the chance to live in peace, I would only be with my tapes. If I were to die, I would destroy my hard drives and data backups before I died. I didn't do that before on that planet, It's because I believe you can get me out of trouble."

"........."

Soundwave turned his head to meet Optimus Prime's gaze, he knew PRIME's wavering without mind reading skills, which was exactly what he wanted.He needed the leader to trust him, by whatever means; even if it meant giving some of his own trust and intelligence in exchange.

"Living with people off tape is a burden to me. I can't hand over my data, so keep it a secret. It's tiring, PRIME. If I can enjoy peace, I don't want My life is as tiring as wartime."

"So you are willing to die alone with these secrets."

Optimus Prime concluded.

His voice was slow and heavy, and in just one sentence, it seemed to be full of some kind of emotion that sound waves couldn't understand.

"I must die alone with these secrets," agreed Soundwave. "I mean, if the peace lasts."

In other words, if war starts again, these secrets are important bargaining chips.

Soundwave refuses to give up these secrets, because they will become the key to the battle.

For a brief moment, Soundwave thought the leader was very angry.He heard the sound of the fan spinning rapidly, he saw the leader's pair of optical mirrors like burning flames, and he even thought he saw the expression of Master Megatron when he swore to start a war.

But for some unknown reason, the leader calmed down again.

"There won't be that chance."

He said.

Soundwave didn't understand all of a sudden, and could only continue to stare at Optimus Prime in bewilderment.

"Even if peace doesn't last long, even if there is war again—there will be no chance for you to use them. At that time, secrets will no longer be a threat to anyone."

"Optimus Prime, you——?!"

Soundwave thought the leader was threatening him, and in his opinion, there might be no easier way to end the secret than his own death.

In the end, he threatened himself vigilantly, but suddenly hugged him!

Hug!Actually hugged? ! !What a development! ! ! !

Faced with this unreasonable development, the intelligence officer finally crashed.
