it's action. reaction. random interaction.
IDW Shockwave
Shockwave has found shelter for himself. A small cave in the mountains, big enough for him to recharge and relax. He has filtered through many of the prompts, and selected a few he figures are worth his time. At least, he will answer them when he is not busy with his experiments.
He's come to the decision to create more programs for himself. Emotions. He's only experienced rage, and it increased his power a hundredfold. So far, he's expanded on the one, adding a plethora of other emotions to study. He runs the program, then pauses to answer one prompt that truly catches his attention.
Logically, I should be leader. I am stronger than Megatron. Possibly larger. I have not bothered to compare our size difference. I am not a fool, unlike Starscream, I do not strut around and whine about how I would do things differently. Everyone does things differently. I would rule fairly, I believe. I look at things objectively, and then decide on a course of action.
However, being in this place, I will not try to usurp Megatron's throne. I have been out of the proverbial loop for far too long to know the chain of command. It is not as it was when I was trapped on Earth. Starscream is not here. Instead, one I thought long dead is second in command. At least, he is considered to be dead in my universe.
I have run into a problem. I have no means of gathering my own energon. Since that Autobot medic refueled me, I have only gone to find shelter. I have stayed in this hovel, recharging and working on my emotions program. Small things that do not require large amounts of energy. I wish to do some form of exploration, maybe find a suitable home for myself. I must find an energon source, and possibly strike up negotiations with whoever is in control of the source. I am far more valuable as a functioning member of society, after all.
