Too Useful To Waste.
Summary: Both the Autobots and the Decepticons know how resourceful and inventive Sam Witwicky was. When Soundwave finds him dying after a battle, he wonders if he has a way to save Sam so his skills are not lost.
Warnings: Character death, minor blood and gore.
Rating: M for safety.

Translation:Please note, when using the Decepticons, I'll be using Cybertronian time measurements as defined by canon. They are, after all, giant, evil, robots bent on conquering the Universe. I highly doubt they'll use any time units but their own.
Vorn = One Cybertronian year, roughly equal to 83 earth years.

Chapter 3; Rumble
Rumble didn't look up from his game when he heard the door open. He knew right away that it was not his Creator coming in; he could sense that Soundwave was in his lab, most likely repairing the frame of his twin.
Since it wasn't Soundwave coming in, it was most likely Ravage, thus a mech that wouldn't care what Rumble did, as long as there wasn't a mess.
He only stopped playing when he sensed Soundwave and his twin approaching the room. Rumble quickly turned off the X-box and hid it under his berth. Just because Ravage didn't care what his younger sibling was doing in his spare-time didn't mean his creator felt the same way.
Rumble had done the standard culture-download when he had arrived on this water-logged planet and he had discovered a term that fit his creator to perfection; Mother-Hen.
Not that he'd ever tell anyone but Frenzy that. He'd leave the suicidal acts to his twin, thank-you-very-much!
Rumble barely had time to hide his toy and grab a random data-pad for his I'm-not-doing-anything® routine, before Soundwave entered the room.
As soon as Soundwave entered the room, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw and Ratbat awoke from their recharge from their perch/berth located above Soundwaves' own berth.
Immediately, Rumble threw away the data-pad and all but teleported to Soundwaves' side.
"Howishehowishehowishe?" Demanded Rumble. Through his twin-bond, he knew the Frenzy was close and that he was alive, but as to what condition, Rumble couldn't detect that with Frenzy in Stasis-lock.
"Rumble! Keep quiet and he'll tell us." Hissed Ravage from where he was lounging on Soundwaves' desk. "Stop acting like a Sparkling."
Rumble decided to ignore his older brother and instead turned his attention to his twin who was currently being removed from within Soundwaves' compartment and placed on the desk.
Rumble climbed the desk and was able to reach the top in time to see Soundwave bring his twin back online.
Rumble waited patiently for his twins systems to completely reboot. Contrary to what Ravage believed, Rumble did have some patience, just not a large amount of it.
When Frenzy's optics finally brightened to their usual shade of blue, Rumble approached his twin a kneeled down beside him.
"Frenzy?" Asked a hesitant Rumble, looking into Frenzy's unfocused optics. Maybe Frenzy was still damaged? However, Rumbles' fears were put to rest quickly enough.
"R-R-Rumble?" Stuttered Frenzy, his optics focusing first on his twin and then finally settling on his creator. "S-Soundwave?"
Rumble looked up at Soundwaves face as the mech ran a scan. Now that he was online, it would be easier to scan for any damage to his neurological circuits.
"Damage: minor. Recharge and defrag: sufficient."
Frenzy and Rumble looked at each other and then looked back at their creator.
"Can't we do this later? We haven't been together in a long time!" Begged the twins, still completely synchronised, even after vorns of separation.
Soundwave gave them a stony stare.
They immediately quieted their complaints and went to their shared berth and entered recharge, leaving Soundwave to give his instructions to their other siblings.
