Knock Out cocked his head, exchanging a glance with Breakdown. Electricity buzzed in the air as they commed each other. "... Soundwave?"
He should have brought Starscream along. He displayed Breakdown's schematics on his face, pointed at the five again.
"In here," Breakdown said, touching his opened chest lightly. "There's room for them to squish my internals around a bit."
Not much. Not with five.
"They'll be very small when they begin to cut their way out," Knock Out explained, "but they'll go through their first several instars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instar) rapidly. They will reach standard height and weight for newly-emerged younglings inside a year."
Soundwave looked at Breakdown. He still heard the buzz of their comms back and forth, Knock Out alternately cajoling and berating to wear down Breakdown's resistance.
He shrugged. "I'm not going to be hitting as hard or taking as many hits. Wouldn't be a problem if we didn't have Bulkhead around."
Soundwave nodded. That could be taken into account.
Knock Out and Breakdown looked at him expectantly. He really should have brought Starscream along.
He nodded again, more emphatically, and both their optics brightened.
"Right!" Knock Out declared. "Well, I'll do the necessary adjustments to Breakdown's interior and submit a more detailed report shortly."
Soundwave left. Outside, a comm pinged him, and he tilted his head at Knock Out's soft 'thank you'.
He looked down at Laserbeak and wondered if the vain car felt as much affection for his younglings as Soundwave did for his mini-cons. Surely not. Knock Out had not been upset by what M.E.C.H. did to Breakdown. If humans had done the same to someone as closely partnered to Soundwave, he would have whispered their secrets to the universe.
But Knock Out could surprise him, even more than Starscream. Maybe he would surprise him again.
