[Magnum is around town, picking up parts before he meets with Barricade at the rendezvous point. Although he's in a lower Zone--5 or 6 by the look of it--there are still a few Pixels floating about...and now and again he stops to look at one. Since it now takes three times as long to get from place to place, however, he's double-tasking by

Understood.
[Soundwave sounds very monotone, more like his old self, for once. He does not know how to feel about this. He does not wish to harm the jets.]
Jetfire's cooperation: High priority.
Separation: Impractical.

[Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the cassette player so that Soundwave could transform without causing a serious inconvenience.]
I'm certain you can work out a way.

You are the master of subtlety...

even if we do need to get you a new alt mode.

Affirmative.
Multiple sources have reported that current alternate mode is: obsolete.

Well, its proven handy today.
Though, admittedly, if you were a vehicle I could have ridden in you and this would have gone much faster.
[...he considers that for a moment, and realizes just how strange it sounds...but its already been said, so he pretends it was intentional.]

There was little shame in demonstrating his pleasure, if not a little frustration at his current size - It had been Magnum himself who told Soundwave that he should physically demonstrate when he enjoyed something, in order to better establish a relationship.
Remaining on one knee, he offers a hand to his much smaller leader, so that he might not loom over him quite so much.]
Reconnaissance: Intended purpose of this form.

Soundwave: Could obtain form capable of 'riding,' if desired.

But then you wouldn't be so unique.
If reconnaissance is your intention...
...then perhaps we should seek to disguise you as exactly what you are--a communications device. [He held up his...which was a bit smaller than the tape deck, but not horribly so due to its video features.]

By your command.
[Scanning the device, there are a few very subtle changes in his armor - the tapebay takes on a similar shape to the video screen, a few of the buttons reposition themselves slightly. He also chose to retain his blue colour scheme, simply out of habit.]

...Primus. [He breathes, looking over the not-entirely-different but certainly-not-the-same mech before him.] ...technology does progress, doesn't it? [He laughs.]

[He'd actually become somewhat fond of the noise the humans referred to as 'music.' It was... unusual, but he was intrigued by the effects it appeared to have on the species; it could invoke reactions just as easily as actually interacting with them.]
Mode: Satisfactory?

[He was, in fact, morbidly curious what would happen if Soundwave transformed with a normal, everyday cassette inside of him...but tact had prevented him from testing out this theory. That, and the lack of any normal cassettes in the stores he visited.]
More than satisfactory, Soundwave. I'd say its downright pleasant. Makes you look like you fit in here, and now you'll be able to do some more effective missions for me.

Assistance in this matter: Appreciated.
[Now they won't make fun of his alt mode anymore. :<]
