* [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Even Evil Has Liked Ones]]: Megatron seems to have a fondness/appreciation for Soundwave that he lacks for every other Decepticon. When he's captured, Megatron is completely confident that Soundwave won't crack under interrogation, and works to help him both escape and take Ratchet prisoner. This is in sharp contrast to when Breakdown was captured in season one, where he basically left him on his own.
