MegaShock is like a childhood romance in this as I am going with the Megatron Was Made and Raised to Lead the Decepticons to Overthrow the Autobots backstory from the cartoon. Except I am applying seriousness to this. Also drawing from the G1 character notes of Soundwave being a blackmailer and feared in his faction and fully willing to overthrow Megaton if needed. They both are aware he's more loyal to the Cause and his Cassettes and have a friendly working relationship as a result of understanding fully where the other stands.

Shockwave in this is the more devoted one and he and Megatron have known each other since they were young as they were both made for Decepticon war effort. Shockwave was left behind while Megatron left with Soundwave and Starscream in the same way historically a king leaves with his generals and their spouse is left behind to "hold the kingdom" and Shockwave was Guardian of Cybertron. It is known that Shockwave is the Conjunx to be and that's part of why there is absolute confidence that he won't betray Megatron and why Shockwave clung to the belief he would return.

There's going to be some deeply emotional moments previously when Shockwave discovered he was carrying and it crushed him because Megatron should have been here. During a attack from Elita's squad to steal supplies due to the recent developments, Shockwave is slower and Moonracer realizes the symptoms in her or the same in him. They get stuck together when she pushes him out of the way and have a bonding moment trapped together while Elita and Shockwave's Seekers worked to get them out. Moonracer comforts him and Shockwave has an emotional moment of weakness. This is what leads to the peace.

Moonracer as the one who saw his moment of weakness supports Shockwave throughout his carrying while everyone else is still wary of the hostile and cool attitude he gives to everyone. She barreled passed this, but respected it when he established a need for space. This led to both of them growing tender feelings as Moonracer admits her lover Powerglide too. The bond over their shared loss and Shockwave's focus switches more and more to focusing on the Decepticons left behind and the future with a child as Moonracer was encouraging.

They finally admitted to having feelings for each other after "Progeny" and Mirage were born.

And then the Earth called and it turns out both their lovers are alive.

The concept of Megs having been made to lead the decepticons has interesting implications to it

OWO on that characterization of Soundwave, I think a lot about that one

Damn, that makes sense (the leaving Shockwave being compared to a king leaving the spouse behind for their own noble duty thing)

Fascinating how Moon and Shockers got together, I'm voting Moonracer noticed first

Elita: It better be important, Moonracer, it's 5AM.

Moonracer: What do you do when the bot you like is taller than you?

Elita: If you like them and they like you back, then you make it work. Size is not the end of it all. Believe me, trucks bots can be really cute.

Moonracer: Oh, hmm... he's a plane.

Elita: ...

My first ever comic of both Glider and Moonie hehe

• "Allah likes smiling people," says our Grandshaykh.

"The highest degree for the human being is to smile at every event. It is one of the signs of Iman (faith) that may be seen in those who sit on the throne of the Awliya. It means that he is satisfied with the will of Allah Almighty, not fighting or coming opposite to Him."

Only a few people can reach this point; among millions only one or two will reach it. They are very rare, like rubies among stones. Our Grandshaykh is teaching us little by little, directing us to that aim. It is very hard. One doesn't reach the summit of Everest on the first step !

They who succeed are kings in the next life with private stations in paradise. No one can know what is in them. If one knew even a little, they would smile at every event, for every wrong' in this world ! They would be pleased with everyone. If a man is pleased with everyone and everything, he is in Paradise now! It is difficult, but we must try.

We must know that no pleasure or sorrow in this life can last, but will come to an end and pass away. There is, therefore, no need to dwell upon a sorrow, no need to hold it in the mind. When a sorrow comes have patience, and a pleasure will come as a result. It is difficult, but important, to be satisfied with Allah Almighty when there is sorrow and things are not to our liking.
