Despite what Prime may have done, you and the remaining Decepticons have the same right to exist as much as any other Cybertronian. I will defend that even if the Autobots disagree.

[He steps closer until the both of them are easily within arms' reach of each other.]

But I've brought enough death to the universe as it is, and I will not harm another being for any cause. Never again. You can interpret that in whatever way you wish, Soundwave, but the truth is right here.

[He taps his helm.]

And it is nothing you can't handle.

[The closer Megatron steps, the tighter his hands clamp around his arms. Making the plates on his arms creak. This was a joke.]

It is only the truth as you see it. You may truly believe you will defend us against Prime, and you may believe you can exist without harming anyone. But you are an idiot.

It has been a year - even longer here. You had every chance to speak to me. To even tell me that you were leaving. You did nothing. And now, when your hand has been forced, you are annoyed that I have anything to say in return to you when you tell me that you wish to talk with me.

Why should any thought you have carry more weight than what you have done? I gave you four million years of loyalty. I even gave you help here, when you still offered silence return. So what thoughts do you have that could possibly demonstrate how much you care when your every action and word say otherwise? Tell me. Because you are not going to have the luxury of telling others that your thoughts are proof of anything.

Soundwave...

[His expression softens. He wasn't sure what he could do to soothe his ex-lieutenant's ire.]

I'm not annoyed with you. You've been nothing but loyal to me. From you I could not have asked anything more.

Ideally, I would have spoken with you. I would have approached you as I did now and given you a thoughtful explanation, proper reasoning and perhaps a solemn farewell. You certainly deserve at least that. But the truth is, I don't have an answer to give you. For the longest time, I didn't have an answer to give myself.

For all that I'd found with the Autobots, I'd never felt more lost than I did on that ship. I don't believe you would have been satisfied with that answer, were it then or now.
