After this not-quite-confession Ravage almost completely forgets what he'd planned to say and breaks down into helpless laughter. "You? Oh, I love you so much, Soundwave..."

Ravage's face would be glowing if his paint were not black and velvety. Finally, he looks up at Loki, a little embarrassed. "We know Ziggy's parents," Ravage says, "and we consider them dear friends. Ziggy is very extra. Soundwave loves his music, and we're definitely friendly with Ziggy. But Ziggy surrounds himself with relentlessly enthusiastic and positive people that make it difficult to get close to him. One of them spent a good deal of time trying to explain to Soundwave, of all people, that 'spite' is not an appropriate motivation for things. Soundwave sometimes runs at least as much on spite as he does on energon."
