After all, Gould intends for his son to take over as human liaison with the Decepticons one day. Within the warehouse, Soundwave and [[Laserbeak (DOTM)\|Laserbeak]] await the pair.

Though Soundwave can barely contain his hatred for the human, the creature's usefulness to him is too great for him to act on it.

	Boarding the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)\|Longshot]]'', Soundwave and his crew prepare for the long journey ahead. [[Alice\|The Pretender]] is put into stasis, and [[Fracture (Movie)\|Fracture]] is put in charge of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)\|Constructicons]]. The voyage takes years. When Soundwave enters the ''Nemesis'', he notices at once that someone else has been aboard the ship. The artifact tells him that [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] has visited it in Soundwave's absence. Soundwave tells of his own findings, and presents one of Sentinel Prime's pillars to the artifact. The artifact tells Soundwave to leave the pillar behind, and Soundwave leaves to return to Earth and Megatron's side. The Fallen then uses the pillar's spacetime-bending capabilities to weaken his prison, and begins to emerge from the sarcophagus...

	En route to Earth, [[Rumble (ROTF)\|Rumble]] detects an temporal anomaly on [[Mars (planet)\|Mars]], prompting Soundwave to make a detour. The, he first discovers the inert bodies of several Cybertronian combatants before coming upon the wreckage of a newer ship, also called the "''[[Nemesis (Movie)\|Nemesis]]''". He identifies the temporal anomaly as being the crude "space-bridge" jury-rigged by [[Thundercracker (Movie)\|Thundercracker]] using another one of Sentinel Prime's pillars. Digging into the ship's databanks, he uncovers [[Starscream (Movie)\|Starscream]]'s involvement in the whole thing. Soundwave resumes his journey to Earth, leaving [[Strike Team Ursa]] and the Constructicons behind in the ''Longshot''. Perusing Earth's communication network, he spies upon Starscream engaged in combat with [[Bumblebee (Movie)\|Bumblebee]]. Soundwave orders Starscream to meet with him, and Starscream heeds his command, leaving the battleground behind. The two exchange information, and Soundwave orders Fracture and her team to make planetfall and find themselves new altmodes as well as the [[Star Harvester]] hidden on Earth. Starscream is sent to retrieve the rest of Soundwave's troops awaiting in the ''Longshot'' to get him out of the way.

	[[Gould]] has driven out to an isolated warehouse to meet with his secret business partner: [[Soundwave (ROTF)\|Soundwave]]. Though his son, [[Dylan Gould\|Dylan]] is scared at first to meet with the Cybertronian, Gould insists that he tags along. After all, Gould intends for his son to take over as human liaison with the Decepticons one day. Within the warehouse, Soundwave and [[Laserbeak (DOTM)\|Laserbeak]] await the pair. Soundwave informs the humans that he is leaving Earth for a time. He nevertheless expects Gould to continue to interfere with any efforts the humans might make in attempting another Moon landing. Gould assures Soundwave that, so long as his monetary compensation is assured, he will use his connections at NASA to ensure that any lunar expeditions are financially unfeasible. Though Soundwave can barely contain his hatred for the human, the creature's usefulness to him is too great for him to act on it. Soundwave has been outwitted in the past by [[Sector Seven\|Sector 7]], and as a result the Americans have discovered [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)\|Sentinel Prime]]'s ship. The need to stifle the humans' interaction with Cybertronian technology is paramount. Now that the situation is under control, Soundwave feels the need to once more consult with [[The Fallen\|the artifact]] aboard the [[Nemesis (ROTF)\|Nemesis]].

	Boarding the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)\|Longshot]]'', Soundwave and his crew prepare for the long journey ahead. [[Alice\|The Pretender]] is put into stasis, and [[Fracture (Movie)\|Fracture]] is put in charge of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)\|Constructicons]]. The voyage takes years. When Soundwave enters the ''Nemesis'', he notices at once that someone else has been aboard the ship. The artifact tells him that [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] has visited it in Soundwave's absence. Soundwave tells of his own findings, and presents one of Sentinel Prime's pillars to the artifact. The artifact tells Soundwave to leave the pillar behind, and Soundwave leaves to return to Earth and Megatron's side. The Fallen then uses the pillar's spacetime-bending capabilities to weaken his prison, and begins to emerge from the sarcophagus...

	En route to Earth, [[Rumble (ROTF)\|Rumble]] detects an temporal anomaly on [[Mars (planet)\|Mars]], prompting Soundwave to make a detour. The, he first discovers the inert bodies of several Cybertronian combatants before coming upon the wreckage of a newer ship, also called the "''[[Nemesis (Movie)\|Nemesis]]''". He identifies the temporal anomaly as being the crude "space-bridge" jury-rigged by [[Thundercracker (Movie)\|Thundercracker]] using another one of Sentinel Prime's pillars. Digging into the ship's databanks, he uncovers [[Starscream (Movie)\|Starscream]]'s involvement in the whole thing. Soundwave resumes his journey to Earth, leaving [[Strike Team Ursa]] and the Constructicons behind in the ''Longshot''. Perusing Earth's communication network, he spies upon Starscream engaged in combat with [[Bumblebee (Movie)\|Bumblebee]]. Soundwave orders Starscream to meet with him, and Starscream heeds his command, leaving the battleground behind. The two exchange information, and Soundwave orders Fracture and her team to make planetfall and find themselves new altmodes as well as the [[Star Harvester]] hidden on Earth. Starscream is sent to retrieve the rest of Soundwave's troops awaiting in the ''Longshot'' to get him out of the way.
