Soundwave - Smilodon Populator

Found by Ravage alone when he was just a kit; previously having been shunned by his feral mother; he grew up under the influence of her and LaserBeak. Soundwave joined the Decepticons when they were still small, quickly becoming one of Megatron’s most trusted members for being able to command others, handle communication between satellite territories and such, while also being a force on the battlefield.

Similar to Ravage, he is aloof and blunt. Never mincing his words and saying only what is needed. He observes others from a distance, taking note about their personal relationships and any possible signs for disobedience against Megatron. His rather menacing demeanor leaves others to keep their distance from him. However a few are always seen close to the large Smilodon despite SoundWaves reputation.

Rumble, Frenzy, and NightShade were taken in by SoundWave, much like how Ravage originally took him in. Rumble and Frenzy came long before Nightshade.

SoundWave often can tolerate Autobots as long as they’re on their side of the territory border- except when it’s Blaster. SoundWave and Blasters rivalry is often viewed as odd from others looking in, in the way that neither target their much more vulnerable companions. Rewind and Eject barely even getting more than a glance from SoundWave despite being more than capable of gravely injuring both of them.

Ravage - Dinictis

An older Dinictis all things considered, but still just as spry as a juvenile. Ravage grew up alone, having been left behind by her mother as just a kitten. For a while she lived alone. Getting from day to day by hunting small critters and fish. One day LaserBeak came across her and they struck up a deal. LaserBeak would help scout out weak, but larger feral’s, and Ravage would go and take them down. Giving them both a fulfilling meal. This temporary alliance snowballed into a genuine friendship, a sense of loyalty being built between them. One day in the mountains while following one of LaserBeak’s leads, she found a young kitten, SoundWave. Despite her initial hesitancy she took him in. Raising him and teaching him all she knew about how to survive in a world that was eat or be eaten.

When they came across the young decepticon startup, Ravage only joined because SoundWave did, and Laserbeak only joined because Ravage did.

Ravage is often the one watching and listening in places where others might overlook. Her honed skills of surviving for years alone gifting her with a fine tuned sense of smell and trained ears. Landing her a position as a tracker and scout for the Decepticons.

Much like SoundWave, she is quite cold and silent. Her intense stare doesn’t hide the fact that she judges all that cross her path. Often taking strong stances on those around her. She either likes or hate you, no in between. However she has a soft spot for LaserBeak, believing him competent, SoundWave, for growing up to be so strong and controlled. And while she cannot name the reason why, she cares for Rumble, Frenzy, and NightShade.

Notes

“Why does Ravage look like that?”. Because I hand drew the line work and colored in Ravage before taking a photo lol. I was just too lazy to redo her lines in my art app. Maybe I’ll redo it. Maybe I won’t.

Here’s the version that lives in my sketch book!

As you can see it’s quite a bit rougher. And apparently featuring a random Pittacosarus!
