Keeping far from the Hollow, Soundwave followed the coordinates he could garner from Optimus' comments, hoping to catch him before he could move anywhere close to their new base of operations.
Not that he expected to change his mind, but he could steer him in the wrong direction at the very least - the Autobot would not find the Decepticons, if they did not wish to be found.
Perhaps not as fast as some, he made the trek in robot mode, considering the lack of transportation allowed by his own alternate mode. He almost missed having the lithe, jet body, if only for its speed.]

[and after making certain Malus's promised backup was in the vicinity...well, all he needed to do now was to pretend to be searching as he waited for Soundwave to find him.]

But Megatron willed him elsewhere. So elsewhere he went, despite his disdain for the not-Autobot he was supposed to be aiding. Something about him... the new influx of data from his processor... it felt wrong.
So Soundwave put it aside. Shunted it off into a separate cache for later, and made certain he was in the appropriate location. Blocking another Soundwave's capabilities with his own... it was intriguing. He waited, taking a customary position atop a radio tower, scanning airwaves.]

Pausing for a moment, he looked around for some sign of the Autobot.]
Designation: Inimicus.

[cue Optimus transforming, and stepping out of a shadow towards Soundwave's right. he looks very...amused]
Took your time, didn't you? I hate being kept waiting.

He remembers all too well, after all, that time both of them were laid low by signal interference.]

Distractedly, he attempted to sort out the issue as he addressed the Autobot.]
Optimus Prime's preferences: Irrelevant.
Soundwave does not possess: vehicle form.

But tell me, Soundwave, why did you come looking for me?...it's almost as you think I am a threat.

Clarify 'his.'
[Turning to face him completely, he does not draw his weapon - There was no point in antagonizing Prime, even if he didn't trust him. Surely he wouldn't attack one of Magnum's officers. They were still allies, so far as he knew.]
Optimus Prime: Unknown quantity.
Possible: Threat.

My Soundwave. The one who was fool enough to muck around in my processor before. And you should think of me as a threat. Magnum lives only so much as I can imagine him useful.

Designation: Magnum: will not be defeated by you.
[But you might notice his visor flash in emphasis at that last part.]

Optimus Prime: does not possess that information.
Optimus Prime: will cease slandering Lord Megatron.
Immediately.

The strain of the events leading up to this moment had finally begun to take its toll on him. The newly emerged emotions, being forced into a body that was not his own, and attempting to defend his shell from that fool clone... And now this mech, defacing the one being Soundwave was loyal to, claiming to have some intimate knowledge that he should not, and mocking it...
His optics narrow behind the shield of the visor, aiming the gun once more for Optimus' chest. He would not tolerate anymore.]
Silence.

[he cuts off his laughing, lowering his helm, optics practically sparkling with mirth as he takes a step towards Soundwave]
Why? Are you jealous, Soundwave, that I've seen that part of him and you, his loyal turbomutt, haven't?
