Backfire Telepathy
I was musing about Soundwave's ability and here's what came to mind. Basically, when reading someone's mind, Soundwave develops their glitches/quirks (temporary or not).
So...
1. He reads Prowl: Crashes when illogical situations are presented.
2. He reads Red Alert: PARANOIA!
3. He reads Scavenger ('cuz my musing started there): Suddenly wants to collects/hoard stuff (cassettes?).
Another bunny: The Autobots learn of this weakness. And the autobots have well adapted but unknown glitched mech in their ranks. So they send them to be read by Soundwave to screw with his mind. The unknown glitched autobot knows how to deal with his problem, but Soundwave doesn't and is taken by surprise.
