Okay, I got a anonymous review that I want to answer, but can't by email or whatever.
No, Shockwave does not think about 'facing Glider. At all. He thinks of her as his sparkling, and wants to take care of her. I assure you nothing bad will happen to her at all. She is safe, even when she grows up, etc.
And yes, Shockwave is a terrible person. We thought that was very obvious _ He is not meant to be a good guy. Everything here is filtered through his perceptions. Don't just take what he says at face value. He is not a good person, and you need to realize that this is not meant to make you adore Shockwave. He is a Decepticon, people _ He's not a good guy.

He's been kissing Sparkride when Shockwave was away, even though he had an awful cyclebot frame. At least now Sparkride is adorable and sexy, showing off his hot minibot frame with all the characteristic sluttiness that he had as a cyclebot. When the bot gets more used to the frame, Shockwave suspects that Sparkride will be the sluttiest of his minibots, assuming he is allowed to gradually accumulate more when he proves to Lord Megatron that he is responsible enough for them.
He carries his little bots to the berth. They have to celebrate the new frame, and he can think of no better way to do it.
Shockwave sits and reviews the various recordings from the previous night around the base. And there is nothing very interesting going on, just the typical night time activity of recharging or 'facing. Megatron had pulled Lugnut into the berth, but that was not something he wanted to see, so he didn't do more than a cursory look through it to make sure that nothing terrible happened.
He knows his Lord trusts him to make sure that he didn't accidentally damage Lugnut in some way, and the planebot was too proud of the damage to get it fixed. Nothing of the sort happened, thankfully.
But no. The most interesting thing happened in his own berth.
Right next to him.
As he recharged.
Shockwave had been thoroughly sated by his two minibots, who had taken turns riding his spark to overload. He'd enjoyed that recharge very well, and had not realized that neither of his minibots had offlined when he had.
They'd laid on top of him, panting and venting as their engines clicked and cooled slowly. Sedan had slowly pushed himself up to a sitting position and examined Shockwave's frame, making sure he was offline before scooting close to Sparkride. He was sure the bots were going to kiss and cuddle, but . .
Sedan smiled at Sparkride and rested a servo on the bot's sparkplates. "If Shockwave ever loves you more than me, I will crush your spark while you recharge."
Shockwave's spark warms at the thought of it. His little bot is taking on such a deliciously Decepticon attitude about this, and it means that they will raise their sparklings correctly. He won't have to worry about an Autobot taint in their upbringing while Sedan is there to help him. His little bot will be by his side, raising them with the correct hard edge that all bots should know, but Autobots ignore.
Not every bot is one you can be all sweetsparked and nice to. His little sparklings should know that intimately. He does not want them taken in by the first bot that touches them. They will not be berthwarmers. He will make sure that they are courted properly.
Even if that means that his sparklings have to offline any bot that thinks that their tiny size means they are easy targets.
The one he worries most about is the only sparkling they have right now. Glider does not have the strong, Decepticon coding that his sparklings will inherit from him. But it is good to know that his sweetspark has a tough center.
And it's hot that his bot is threatening the other minibot about his love. He will always love his Sweetspark best. Sedan loves him back so sweetly that he can do nothing less than return every bit of that love and more. He has found the bot he intends to have craft his bonding brush, and intends to visit the mech sometime in the next stellar cycle to have the brush made individually for him.
Which will be accepted with a great deal of excitement, especially when he explains how he will never be able to remove it. Shockwave will use the same type of paint for his own servo, of course. He's not letting his little bot think that he's tied to Shockwave, and Shockwave can just forget about him. No, no. He will be reminded of his Precious' love whenever he looks at his claw.
He looks forward to it.
His sweet little bot will make the perfect consort. And he will make certain that his Precious knows that he has authority over any other lovers that they take. He does not want Sedan to feel threatened by them. Not when his little consort will be his most important bot.
Shockwave replays the vid file, shivering when his bot makes the threat again, and Sparkride whispers frightened promises that he won't steal Shockwave away from him. How silly his Sweetspark is, to think that he could ever love their toybot more than he loves Sedan.
He may have modified the bot into the almost perfect berthbot, but that is all he is. A berthbot. One that Lord Megatron will use, but a berthbot none the less.
He is tempted to go out and return to his quarters to 'face his little bots again, but he knows that it will only distract him from what he should be doing, and he wants to prove to Megatron that he is worthy of getting more minibots. He also knows better than to pull his Precious into his lap as he works here, since that will be frowned on as well. His Lord is generous enough to allow him to always be able to look at the screen connected to his quarters, as it is.
He returns to work, thinking about how he's going to prepare Sparkride for this sols visit to their Lord.
He won't be giving his minibot any overloads from his mods, as Megatron had commed him and requested that they be allowed to show the bot what interfacing mod overloads were like first.
Shockwave hopes Megatron makes the minibot grind his spike on Starscream's wings. And then overload on them, just to hear the seeker screech unhappily as his wings are streaked with fluids. He's positive, from reviewing the vids, that Starscream has not allowed Megatron the honor of that act.
He will most likely only be using the spike and valve mods in Megatron's berth, since Sedan hates the things. He has no problem doing that for his Sweetspark. He will do almost anything for his Precious, if he's only asked.
Sedan just needs to realize how true that is.
Shockwave rubs his servos together in glee.
There is a minibot on the planet he's visiting. In the crystal garden.
And Megatron has given him permission to catch as many as he wants. There are no limits for him anymore, and he can just get any he'd like.
And here is a minibot, just sitting in the crystal garden with his optics offline.
It is like Primus himself decided to give him a gift.
He wonders how to approach the minibot. The bot has a clear Autobot insignia on his chest, and will not take kindly to seeing him in his Decepticon frame, yet Shockwave is unwilling to expose his double-identity to a bot that may escape at some point.
And then he sees the pretty waiterbot for the garden-also a minibot frame, but one unfortunately put on his 'do not botnap' list because he likes the service in this garden and cafe-carrying a tray of energon towards the bot.
Perfect.
Shockwave extends an arm and drags the minibot over to him before the bot can exit into the garden, and pulls the bot onto his lap. The minibot mech giggles, and balances his tray carefully. "Shockwave, you know you're not supposed to grab us like that!" the mech slaps his free servo against Shockwave's chest. "Be a good bot and keep the claws to yourself unless you've paid for the . . .extra service."
He loves that about this planet. All the minibots here are playful with him, since they know how well he tips them, and is always willing to do so much more for them. This one once had a virus that he couldn't afford to remove, and had actually allowed him to connect a datapad to clean it out.
He rubs a claw along the little bot's faceplates, "I just wanted you to give that bot," he points at the green minibot he had been looking at, "a cube of energon from me. Don't bother telling him it is from me, just tell him it is on the house." This is also a standard thing for him to do for minibots. They know that he does this, and will keep it secret so that the intended mech doesn't refuse it for the exact reason of what he's planning.
The waiterbot shifts in his lap, unknowingly rubbing against his hidden spikemod - he's kind of glad he has the thing disabled, but sad that he can't feel the pleasure of a minibot rubbing against it - and shows him the tray, "Which one?"
Shockwave makes a show of dipping a claw into a relatively plain cube of energon to taste it, and then dips again when the bot is distracted by watching his antlers absorb the energon from his other servo, letting a bit of a very simple recharge-drug dissolve in the cube. "This one," he taps the glass. His minibots here are going to be so upset that he drugged one of their kind-but the bot is an Autobot, and they have far less sympathy for Autobots than most neutrals do.
The minibot purrs against him, "Yes, Shockwave." He lets the little bot slip off his lap, "Anything else?"
He lets his optic drift over the little bot, lingering on his sparkplates, "Maybe later you could...?" he trails off meaningfully.
The minibot waves a tiny finger at him, "Nuh-uh. You're out in the public area, and I'm in a relationship. Both mean that you don't get to play with my plates."
That was too bad. He enjoyed playing with the minibots, even if he never got to overload them here. The one time he'd even gotten to touch a spark the bot had been gone the next time he'd paid the shop a visit. Perhaps the tip he had given had been a little too generous.
Shockwave leans back as the minibot wanders off, aft wiggling enticingly, as if begging to be groped. Now it was simply a matter of waiting, and hoping his minibots weren't too disappointed when the mech collapsed and he went to botnap him.
He pulls out his credit pad, and starts tabulating up how much he owes right now, since he's going to have to cut and run when the little bot is offline. He makes sure to overpay quite a bit - even more than his usual amount - knowing that will help them turn a blind optic to it. He slowly finishes his cube, watching the little bot drink the drugged energon.
After the bot finishes his cube, it's just a matter of waiting a little bit longer, and watching as the bot blinked his optics and slumped over to one side in the garden. He stands and approaches the bot, scooping the minibot's deeply recharging frame up in his arms.
"Shockwave!" a gasp sounds from behind him, and he turns to face the waiterbot, whose orange paint has paled with dismay. "You . . you used us to drug a minibot?"
He reaches out and pets the minibot's head gently, "I'm sorry, little one. It won't happen again. This Autobot was a special case." He tucks a credit chip into the waiterbot's servo; compensation for any trouble he might get in for giving the drugged energon.
The little bot gives him an upset look as heads to the door. "I'm going to have to report this to the Policebots, Shockwave."
He walks by the little waiterbot, patting him on the head again, "Go ahead, Sweetspark. Just give me a klik headstart?"
The bot shuffles his adorable peds, glancing at the credit chip and at the green minibot's Autobot symbol, "I'll walk really slow."
He smiles, hidden in his faceplate. "That's all I ask," he murmurs, and heads out the door quickly.
The minibot in his arms is bulkier than most minibots, with thicker armor than he is used to. Shockwave isn't sure if he likes this, or if he's going to strip the bot down and armor him up with something lighter and thinner. Perhaps he'll let his Sweetspark decide which way he prefers.
Shockwave makes it to his ship without any trouble, and slips inside with his prey in his claws. The bot is well-polished, but he is unsure how strong the little thing may be, so he carefully cuffs the bot with mild stasis cuffs, adapted for the minibot frame.
He keeps the little mech in his lap as he sets the autopilot on the ship. Petting the little bot absently, he starts to fill in the report as he returns to New Kaon. He's glad that he was finished with what he was doing as Longarm, or he'd have far more trouble than he would have.
The mech starts to stir just as he's doing some general editing of what he wrote, and the little bot's blue optics flicker at him in confusion as his processor starts to pick up what is going on. He looks down at his newest minibot, head tilted with interest, "Are you feeling better, precious?"
The mech gives him a horrified look, struggling to move in the cuffs, "Shockwave!"
"Yes, little one?" he slides his claws across the minibot's frame, studying his seams and armor joins. The bot is very well armored, and will likely look so small and adorable when he's stripped to protoform. Shockwave makes a note to strip the bot down sometime soon to investigate.
"Release me at once," the bot demands, "and I will not be forced to offline you in the night."
How adorable. His little one thinks he stands a chance against him in combat.
He pets the little bot's helmet, "Then I suppose I'll have to take you home, and we will see about that." He also imagines that Sedan will threaten the little bot for trying to pull affection away. He can't wait to see the recording of his consort-to-be's warning to the mech. Maybe Sedan will threaten to slice the green bot's spark apart a little at a time.
He had given his little bot an energyblade for a reason. Even though his precious hadn't asked for a weapon. He was hoping Sedan would wake him up to feed him the tiny slices of spark if he ever decided Sparkride had gone too far.
It was likely that the little bot would not be so vicious, and certainly not the first few times he offlined a bot, but Shockwave could hope. And hope he did.
The bot squirms, and Shockwave pinches his stubby little horns, eliciting a cry of dismayed pleasure. He was very good at making minibot frames feel good. "What is your name, little one? I would like to know what to call you when I am using your spark."
The mech tries to squirm, but is unable to due to the cuffs, "Frag off! I'm not telling you anything!"
He rubs his claws along the little bot's sparkplates, noting the neutral warmth, "Well, I could call you Frag, but that's not something we'll be able to use in polite company. Are you sure you want that as your designation?"
The minibot growls at him wordlessly, optics narrowed in anger.
He kind of wonders if he should give in to his urge to lick and suck on the bot.
Silly question.
He bends down and takes a stubby horn into his mouth; he does not mind showing off his mouth for his little pets, and he knows Megatron will likely make him pleasure his spike on camera soon enough. The bot arches up with a cry and Shockwave lets his denta press down on the horn lightly, just enough to trigger all the sensitive circuits there.
He slowly works his claws into delicate transformation seams, teasing and touching every single one he can as he sucks on the horn. By the time he's finished lighting up all the pleasure nodes on the little bot, the minibot is panting and whining. "Want to tell me your name now, little bot?"
The mech just whines in his lap, trying to flip over to grind into his legs.
Maybe he shouldn't have gone quite that far.
The bot's sparkplate locks are clicking open and closed rapidly, and Shockwave hums thoughtfully, unsure if he should take the bot's spark now or wait until he introduces the newest pet to Sedan. It would be better to wait, but he's not entirely sure if he can. Not with the sweet way the little green bot is writhing for him, begging wordlessly for more.
He taps his claws on the mechs chest, and he's about to reach into the tiny crack showing through when he stops. He knows that Sedan will want to test the newest minibot first. To make sure that he's good enough for Shockwave.
It will be a good way to show his newest minibot that Sedan is the top bot in his minibot harem. He will keep the green bot warm, but leave his spark untouched.
Sedan will likely want him to remove the cuffs, and he will need to figure out if the bot will try to escape then.
"Your designation, little bot?" he asks again, dipping his claws into seams to keep the bot's spark nice and hot. With the bridges he has hijacking codes for, it is a short journey home, and it will not do the bot any damage to be kept revved and ready for a few megacycles.
"T-Tap-Out," the bot hisses at him, before snapping his plates shut, realizing he isn't getting his spark fragged yet.
Oh, dear. Tap-Out is listed in his registries as a ninjabot.
He'll have to make sure to use a cuff because of that. He knows the mech will try to escape and take his other minibots with. He's thankful he got the contract for owning Sparkride, and that Sedan will outright refuse to go.
What he's most worried about is Glider.
Autobots used to be very prone to stealing sparklings from their Decepticon creators to "save" them from their evil upbringing. He is glad that practice fell out of use a long time ago, but the sentiment is still there. He would not be surprised if the ninjabots still do it.
He will offline Tap-Out brutally if the bot tries to steal his sparkling. Make a lesson out of the bot for any who would consider taking his sweet sparklings in the future.
He hopes the bot will not try such a terrible thing. Then he won't have to offline the mech.
"Well, Tap-Out," he purrs, claws teasing the frame more, "we will be approaching New Kaon soon, and you will get to meet your new lovers there."
Tap-Out's optics widen, "W-what?"
He rubs the mechs plates, "You have heard about my precious little bots, haven't you?" He was pretty sure that it has gotten all over the universe that he has Sedan.
The ninjabot tries to squirm, "Bots?" the mech asks, stressing the plural.
He smiles, kissing the minibot softly, "Yes. Two other little minibots, just for me." His claws pinch at the little horns, "Three now. I'm sure Sedan will like you."
Or Tap-Out will be offlined in the night. Which is also delicious, but only if Sedan does it. If Sparkride does, there will be a very great deal of punishment coming down on the bot.
Not that he will object to paddling Sparkride's aft and making him recharge in the cage. He will have to drag that same cage out for Tap-Out, and pile it full of blankets and pillows so the bot will have a comfortable place to recharge until he knows he can trust the ninjabot. There is enough space in the bars for Sedan to offline him if he needs to. He hopes his Sweetspark won't object to the use of the cage again. At least it is suited for Tap-Out's size, and watching him lap energon from the dish will prove quite erotic.
The thought of it makes his spark pulse.
He continues to rub and play with Tap-Out's frame, keeping the bot nice and hot for his Sweetspark as he travels the rest of the way to New Kaon.
By the time he gets there, Tap-Out has repeatedly opened his plates and silently begged to be used. He's glad it was silent, because outright asking would have been impossible for him to refuse.
Carrying Tap-Out into the base, he passes the throne room to see if Lord Megatron is in it, and is not surprised to see he isn't. He puts the report where he normally does, so that Megatron can get to it easily, and heads to his room.
When he arrives, he finds Sedan rocking Glider, feeding her from a little sippy cube of sparkling energon. Glider is slapping her claws against the cube, trying to get more than the tiny sips he allows her so she won't get air bubbles in her intake. Sparkride is studying a datapad, and he's surprised to find that the minibot has a mouthclamp on. He's obviously said something to offend Sedan.
He walks over, and presses a kiss to his little bot's helmet, "Hello, Precious. I brought us a gift. Would you like to be the first to use it?"
Sedan looks at him, then at Tap-Out. His little bot holds Glider closer, frowning, "... Do... Do I hav-"
He presses a kiss to his little bot's mouth, "No. Never. You are not expected to at all. He is for you to use if you want to. You are not going to be forced, Precious."
His Sweetspark lowers his visor, and his voice is very quiet when he asks, "Am I not enough for you? Is that why you keep bringing home other bots?" He looks up, expression turned pleading, "If there is something I can do to please you better, I will do it. Do . . if I agree to get mods, will you stop bringing other bots to take my place?"
He puts Tap-Out on the floor, tugging his Precious and their sparkling into his arms, kissing Sedan lovingly. "No. You are never being replaced, Sweetspark. My beautiful little bot, I could never replace you. I told you that this bot is a gift for us." He presses his claws to his little bot's sides, "I wanted to have you use his spark so he knows how important you are to me." He nuzzles his Precious, "You can tell me if you think his spark is good enough or not. If not, we can have him and Sparkride 'face until Tap-Out gets it right. No need for you to waste time on teaching him."
Reassured by his words, Sedan gives the mech a superior look, "I don't want to interface with him until he's been given a deep scan for viruses. And I want him to recharge in the cage. I've studied the datapads you have given me, and Tap-Out is a ninjabot. I won't have him recharging with us, or near Glider until we know he is safe."
A wise choice by his little minibot. Shockwave kisses him again. "Of course, Sweetspark."
Sedan cuddles against him, holding Glider next to their sparks, "And Sparkride isn't allowed to speak for the next megacycle, and when the clamp is off, he will apologize for what he said about Lord Megatron."
He'll have to review what the bot said, but he trusts Sedan's judgment. Nibbling on an audio nub, he revs his engine, "I love you."
Sedan melts into him, holding his neck and cuddling, "I love you, too. I'm so glad you're home. I was worried you'd get hurt."
"I am very rarely injured on my missions, Sweetspark. Do not worry." He pinches the bot's audio nubs lightly. "Would you like to come with me while I have the medicbot scan Tap-Out?"
Sedan shakes his head, "No. I want to stay with Glider. She is still fueling up." He looks down and tickles her helm, "She needs longer to fuel up than normal models do. She has such a tiny little tank."
He loves that about her. She's so tiny, and will always be tiny. He hopes she'll lean toward Sedan's size, rather than the far more tall litheness of the cyclebot CNA in her.
He puts Sedan down softly, kissing his head, "Should we com Megatron to ask him if he wants to look after her while we do this?"
Sedan hums softly, "I can. He may demand that Sparkride come with, or something else, but I can deal with that while you are gone."
He nods, lifting Tap-Out into his arms, "Do whatever you think is best, Precious."
"I will." Sedan turns to the console to contact his Liege, bouncing Glider in his arms. Sparkride looks at the ninjabot with concern in his optics, but Shockwave does not much care for Sparkride's opinion on botnapping Autobots.
He has been thinking about investing in one of the more expensive 'facing toys. Something he can lay Sparkride on and have it stimulate the bot's spark, and possibly his 'facing mods. It would be quite entertaining to watch.
He steps out of the room, holding Tap-Out's still panting form. "Time to make sure you're clean, little bot." He's glad Sedan suggested this, since ninjabots are notorious for 'facing pretty much anything. He's heard stories of a few trying to frag various organic things. Some of which that are not sentient.
He isn't sure if they just really love nature, or if it was like Oil Slick and Scalpel with new lab equipment. He could have done without seeing Oil Slick rub his spark against the new shipment of expensive equipment, but he had to make sure that it wasn't damaged by being used like that.
Especially since Blitzwing had paid him a visit less than a decacycle later and bent him over the equipment, fragging him so thoroughly that if the equipment hadn't withstood that initial trial, it would have all been ruined at that moment. And it was rather erotic watching Scalpel caress his machines, though the little bot continually thwarted his efforts to get the bot in his berth. He called Shockwave a 'creepy, hulking brute' and tends to threaten him with offlining.
It makes Shockwave's spark hot.
Tap-Out squirms in his arms, feeling the pulse from his spark. "Fr-fragger!"
He rubs the bot on the chest, "Be polite, little bot. I wouldn't be surprised if Sedan mouthclamps you if you are too rude. You were doing quite well with you silence before."
Tap-Out gasps as claws delve into sensitive seams, "I'm n-not infected."
He rubs the little horns, "We'll let the medic confirm that."
"Don't need a medical exam," the bot insists, twitching a leg with pleasure. Shockwave catches it and rubs the joints, wondering how the ninjabot can move even that much with stasis cuffs on. Even medium stasis cuffs.
"You will engage in whatever scans my Sedan wants, little bot. Sedan was made to interface many bots with viruses, and you will not make him worry about catching another one ever again."
The minibot mewls for a moment as he teases at the horns. When he lets the bot be more coherent, Tap-Out says, "You make him 'fa-"
He pinches the horn, "No, and if you say that again, I will remove one of these without anesthetic. Sedan will never be forced into anything he does not wish to do. He is to be my consort, and you will not forget that."
"F-frag you," the bot hisses, and twitches again, trying to lash out at him.
"I will be getting him the best bonding brush available," Shockwave purrs, tickling Tap-Out's seams. The little bot is delicious, even if he is a ninjabot, and Oil Slick will not be happy at all to find that Shockwave has one as a pet. Ninjabots-even exiled ninjabots who failed their graduation tests-have issues with ninjabots as berthslaves.
He steps into the medical bay, and Razor walks over, "Sedan told me you have a bot that needs a full medical exam?"
He is amused to know about his Precious' initiative. He was expecting a simple scan, but if Sedan wants it to be a full one, he will not complain. "If that's what my Sweetspark said, I will do it."
Razor pokes Tap-Out in the head thoughtfully, "He wants me to do a spark exam, too. Get all the readings done now. That fine?"
"I don't need a fragging spark exam from Decepticons, and I don-mmph!" the bot makes emphatic noises behind the mouthclamp that Razor has fit on him. The medic has no patience for bots sometimes.
Shockwave studies the minibot, and then settles down to watch. "Yes. A full exam and a spark exam. A thorough spark exam. You have permission to test all of his cables and examine all of his sensor nodes."
The medic walks over to the private room, "In here, I suppose?"
It is the usual place he has his minibots tested and fixed, but, "Was there anything specific Sedan wanted for him?"
Razor pauses, tapping the datapad, "He wanted to make sure that Tap-Out was the cleanest possible, and to make sure everything was visible."
Most likely meant literally, at that. "We can use one of those berths," he points to a semi public area, "since they're close to one of the medical washracks."
If his Sweetspark wants Tap-Out humiliated, he can do it easily enough. They move the minibot over and he sends out a message to several of his intelligence agents that have been rather tardy in offering their reports to him. He orders them to come immediately with their files, and then settles in to watch his minibot have an embarrassingly thorough exam.
