Though at this rate it may be a very long time before anyone sees them

If they happen

but the ideas

they make me squee

and I hope to do them

so so much~

Put a word in my ask and I will write a Headcanon about it for my Muse.

— ♔ — Optimus had been tortured several instances through the course of the war, commonly on as a prisoner. When he had been held prisoner in the Kaon Prison Center, captured by the Quintessons again in the expanse of space, then later on the slow deathbed he had once occupied. Of course, he also knew what it felt to have his spark tortured directly by an umbral mirror visage.

              To torture a prisoner was against the paramount code of the Autobot’s ethics, one that Optimus held as nearly unforgivable. Prisoners were under the protection of their guards, and those that broke the code subsequently lost much of the Prime’s respect and trust.

The isolated location Shockwave had selected for their rendezvous was starkly reminiscent of certain areas of Cybertron, with its dessicated mineral surface and comfortable heat. The sweltering temperature left a haze in the air and cast simple optical illusions of oil puddles in the distance that might have confused a lesser intelligence.

Shockwave had taken care before his departure; his projects and equipment had been thoroughly secured and all data backed up to several alternate locations in case of damage or tampering.

The little insecticon had watched his preparations in quiet confusion as the comfortable routine Shockwave had maintained for so long changed without obvious provocation or explanation. Rather than permit the creature to accompany him, Shockwave had delivered it to Soundwave's quarters; the only mech he could trust with the little insecticon's care in his absence.

The only items he burdened himself with were for bargaining purposes; information that the Fallen Prime could find tactically useful, as well as the comatose frame of the Seeker that Megatron had failed to secure as well as he should have.

The Fallen Prime's wayward pet held no value to Shockwave except to earn him favor with the leader of this new faction, and as a show of goodwill he left the Seeker slung over one shoulder rather than dumping him in the filthy organic dirt.
