[Yup. That's the kind of reaction he expected. The environments rippling around Soundwave and the roaring voice of Megatron doesn't deter him one bit.]

No, I do not lie, Soundwave.

[Saying his own name is weird, but who cares about that right now. Megatron is not here as living proof and he doesn't have his recording of Megatron denouncing his own faction whilst wearing the Autobot badge. So, he can't show physical proof.

But there is one way for him to know the truth.]

If you are anything like me, Soundwave.

[His finger tapping his own head.]

Then read my mind. You will find nothing but the truth.

[If he does, what he says is true. Not a lie. No deception. Just the simple truth.]
