Residence: Kaon/Tarn/The Ark
Extra: Magnotron pledged his loyalty to Soundout and swore to protect her and her kin for the rest of his days… Soon after Soundout was chosen to scout a little planet called Earth, leaving Magnotron and Techgear on The Ark.
Other's Thoughts:
Optimus Prime: I've seen her exploits on the battlefield, often using her speakers as a last resort and while I do not know her personally I can tell she is an honorable femme.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: Optimus Prime I… He… He is our Prime, our Leader and his cause is a righteous one. I would die for him.
Ratchet: Brat's a good fighter but I find her in my bay more often than not. Fragging-glitch needs to be more careful and *continues to grump*
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: DEVIL MEDIC! BEWARE! Just kidding, Ratchet is one of the best medics I have had the pleasure of meeting, even if I was halfway to Primus when he saved my sorry aft. If it wasn't for Doc Hatchet we would have lost long ago.
Prowl: After… Praxus… I took a temporary leave of absence. Upon my return, however, I found all of my work up to date, organized and even a few battle plans drawn up. At the time I had assumed that Jazz had taken over my duties, I was surprised to find that Soundout had taken on most of my duties, going to my tacticians for advice on battle strategies. That doesn't get her off the hook for the Graffiti all over the door to my quarters.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: Prowl's Battle computer and logic processors makes it difficult for him to handle extreme emotions. He needed the High Grade and I needed to bury myself in something to avoid thinking about Praxus. And it's not graffiti! It's art!
Jazz: She has good taste in music and is an amazing artist. Prankster, friend, fighter. She's a lot like her sister, capable of so much.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: Ha! Jazz mah main mech! Even though he's OP's third in command he's a real level-headed mech. He knows how to blend in, how to relate to everyone on a personal level. I'm still trying to convince him to take me on as an apprentice.
Wheeljack: I see her brother more than I see her, but there are times when she has nothing to do she'll come into my lab with a list of things and ask if I need any spare parts. That femme can't sit still for a nano-kik Ha! She's very similar to Prowl in that sense.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: I'm working on a stencil for 'Jack's door I'm thinking "Beware! Ground Zero: Pass at your own risk!" But, naw, 'Jack's a great mech and a good friend.
Perceptor: She and her brother are both brilliant but complete opposites it's amazing that they were able to create a Twin Bond. I wish she would spend more of her time being productive that pulling all of these 'elaborate' pranks and distilling of High Grade. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are terrible influences. I also don't appreciate Magnotron hovering over my assistant.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: *sighs* He has no idea that most of the parts his gets are the ones that I fabricate. As much as I lov- LIKE I MEAN LIKE… Um, him, he needs to get out of his lab more.
Ironhide: Brat's a force to be reckoned with. You forget what she's like on the battlefield, let me tell you. Times like those I'm glad that I'm an Autobot.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: 'Hide's like a Caretaker to Gears and I, he's got my back strut whenever we're fighting. Good Ol' Ironhide.
Bumblebee: Soundout and I have done a bunch of missions together. I trust her fully… Even if she brought a 'Con back with her last time.
Soundout's Thoughts On Her: Bee's a good friend but he needs to get over himself. Tron didn't sign up for the war Megatron started, this isn't what he wanted. He wanted a Cybertron without a caste system, he wanted out of the Gladiator Pits.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe: Sounders is pretty fun to hang around with, she helps us with pranksand 'hiding' High Grade around The Ark. Tech and Sounders were living in Iacon when Megatron destroyed Praxus,I don't think I've ever seen Sounders move like that. And while it was only Prowl, Smokey and Blue who survived Sounders never held it against them, even though she lost her litter sister and Creator.
Soundout's Thoughts On Them: I love the twins! They never left me alone, they were either pranking me, making me help them prank somebot or having me hide High Grade around the ship. They pulled me back and… I owe them my life for that.
Mirage: She is uncultured.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: He's a snob.
Hound: Kid can brew good High Grade, so she's alright in mah book.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: Hound's… Strange. But he's kind. In a gruff, blunt sort of way.
Bluestreak: Sunny n' Sides would drag Soundout and I around the base during the off-shift to pull pranks on some poor unfortunate bot. They never let us think too much about it and if we did, they were there. You know what they say, if you can't find a Prime or a sane Lord Protector, wedge yourself in between two frontliners. I don't know, I guess what I'm trying to say is that she never blamed me, or Smokey, or Prowl for surviving. She's just as much Praxin as we are. She knows our pain, because it's her own.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: Blue's sweet, he's like another other little brother.
Smokescreen: I don't appreciate my brother spending so much time in the Brig but… She's a kind Spark, it's a shame she has to partake in all of this violence.
Soundout's Thoughts On Him: I like Smokey, don't get me wrong, I just don't like the way he looks at me. He is the Autobots Psychologist, I just don't like that he can read me.
