Said mech was sitting, or rather, for the first time and maybe because he was for once alone in the large common hall shared by the consorts, sprawled out on a large reclined seat. He wasn't really reading the datapad he was flicking through, not since Vibes had burst in, optics wide, and relayed what had happened before disappearing again.
He'd looked through the newsfeed, and had allowed a smirk to settle briefly as he did so. Soundwave had come through, as he knew he would, and done it beautifully. The only question was how the Prime would take it.
They'd talked of it, yes, but talk was not action and he hadn't really (at all) indicated to Optimus that it wasn't just something he'd thought up then and there during their discussion. That it wasn't a plan in its protoform state. That it wasn't something he was going to reveal how far along it already was when he'd made the leap and told Optimus about it.
No, all that had been left was the last stages, which Soundwave had been able to do. It'd obviously taken a bit of time, but overall... exceedingly short.
The chaos was both expected and surprising.
So, really, he wasn't overly surprised when Optimus literally stomped inside, the glow from his optics bright. In the beginning of this, he would have remained sitting. Turning himself to sit properly, but remained sitting.
Now, however, he stood up, crossing his arms. It was a bit hard to keep his pleasure contained, but at least he tried, and besides, the flickers of rage was sort of... annoying him.
What had Optimus expected when something like this happened, even if they hadn't talked about a time-frame?
