After we finally arrived at my house. I quickly got out of the car and then I asked. "So are you going to show me how you look like as a robot."
"Of course Vinyl. The only thing that I need to know is if anyone is currently inside your housing establishment?" He asked still in that monotonic voice.
First I looked at him dumbfounded, but then it hit me. "Oh, you don't want my parents seeing you. No there is no one home because they are currently at work."
"Okay then." And after that the car started to disassemble and then he started to form into a giant robot and after he finished. He was standing high and mighty and when I say high I mean way high. I live in a two-story house and he's almost as tall as the house."So how do I look." He said while he was turning around.
"Man this is so cool. I have a big alien robot as a car. Hey, Soundwave do those speakers work?"
"Of course they work. Why do you think I'm named Soundwave? Hey, Vinyl do you have a picture of a generic human so that we can talk inside?" That certainly sounded weird.
"Um of course, but why do you need a picture?"
"Well I need a template to make my 'human' mode." He added to that statement by doing the quote sign when he said human.
"Okay just wait here I'm going to go get it." With that said I quickly ran inside and got a picture of my father. Then I headed back outside and showed it to Soundwave. "Will this do?"
"This will be sufficient." And then some orange beam came out of his eyes and surrounded the picture and after a second it returned back into his eyes. "Human mode added to the archive." And after that he morphed again but this time into a human form. When he was finished he was now at my height. He was wearing red pointed sunglasses, a black jacket and some jeans. His hair was cut into a buzz cut and it looked like it was black in colour. As for his skin colour, he was a bright white with some neon blue stripes going down his arms. "Well, how do I look?"
"Well it certainly looks normal but the voice sounds kinda synthesised, but I guess that's only me."
"Okay then Vinyl lets go inside and I'll answer any questions that you might have." With that said I led him into the house. When he came inside he quickly looked around and then he unstrapped something from his back. When I looked again I noticed that it was a pair of speakers, a keytar and a guitar.
"So are you a travelling interstellar musician?"
"You could say that I am." He said while sitting down on a couch. "But I can tell that you have more questions than just that, so sit down and shoot." I did as he said.
"So you said there were more of you. Are there any of them near here?" After that, he looked thoughtful and then he answered.
"No there is no one near here, but there are definitely more in this city. Hey, can I ask you a question?"
"You just did, but yeah." At that, he probably rolled his eyes it was hard to tell with his glasses on.
"Why are you taking this so well? I mean not that I'm complaining, but I thought you would scream a lot more." That made me think.
"Well this is definitely weird, but you see, I'm sort of crazy, or so my girlfriend says, so it doesn't bother me."
"Hm well, that's interesting so you have any other questions for me?"
"What no comment on my girlfriend. Usually when I mention that people look at me funny."
"Well, first of all, I'm not a person and second of all why should I care?" That certainly surprised me, but I guess that it shouldn't since he was right. Then I asked the next question.
"So if you can transform can your instruments change as well?"
"Ah very observant. Yes they do, You want to see?" I nodded. "Okay, then Laser beak, Rat bat, Rumble, Frenzy eject."Then all of his equipment started to change. The guitar turned into a bird. The keytar turned into a bat and the two speakers turned into robot humanoid twins. "So what do you think." Laser beak was perched on his shoulder, Rat bat was on his left side leaning on the couch and the twins were now sitting on the floor their legs crossed. After I took the whole scene in I said.
"This is so cool. Hey, can I take a quick picture." He and all of his friends all nodded and I took out my phone and took a quick snap. "Man Octavia is not going to believe me when she sees this."
"I presume this Octavia is your girlfriend." Asked Soundwave.
"Yup, she's a little stuck up, but is a very good girlfriend."
"Well, I certainly can't wait to meet her." That reminded me of something.
"Hey Rumble, Frenzy what's it like being speakers." They first looked at each other and then they answered in unison.
"Man where to begin. It is fun at times especially when we lay down some sweet beats, but it is a bummer that we cant be out in robot mode. But as long as we can come out at times then we're all good." Well, that was definitely an interesting answer.
"So you two like it when you lay down sick beats." They both nodded. "Then follow me." After that, I went down to the basement or as I call it the recording studio and they all followed me. "Okay guys, welcome to my recording studio. Here is where I record all of my music. So what do you think." After they took the whole thing in Soundwave said.
"Can we record something?"
"I thought you would never ask. Please stand right there." I pointed to the middle of the room. He went there and all of his friends turned into there respected equipment modes, except for Laser beak.
"I'm ready." Said Soundwave.
"Okay then begin." And with that, we started to play some techno music which is how we spent the rest of the afternoon.

After we spent about eight hours of us just making and recording songs, we decided to go back upstairs. All of Soundwaves minicons, as he told me they were called, were turned into their respective equipment modes. "That was the best recording session I have ever had. We definitely need to repeat this." But when we came up to the living room we found my parents watching the news.
"There was a huge accident at Equestria labs today. When a giant cockroach attacked. There were no casualties, thanks to some alien robots called the Autobots. Here is what they had to say. "We are not here to invade your world, we are here to defend you from these types of accidents." So with that said, it looks like we have some new protectors in our town. Let's hope that we won't need them anytime soon. With that said I have been reporter Catch and I hope to see you tomorrow." Then the scene changed back to the studio. "Well, it looks like the new Autobots Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, Ratchet, Bulk Head and Prowl are going to be our new protectors." And after that, my parents turned off the TV and turned to us.
"Ah, good evening Vinyl. Who's your friend over there and what is he doing here so late?"
"Oh, this is one of my clients from school his name is Soundwave."
"Good evening mister Scratch. Sorry if I'm intruding, but we were having a good run. I will be on my way now okay. Good night." And then he went out the door.
"Well good night Soundwave be safe." Then my father closed the door. And after that, I heard a faint sound of him transforming. "So Vinyl how's the new car treating you?"
"Oh, it drives like a dream. We definitely bought the right one. Thanks again for that."
"Well Vinyl you definitely deserved it. I'm still kinda surprised that you managed to get straight As for this semester. By the way, did you catch the news? Man, alien robots right inside our city what luck right?"
"Yeah, luck. Don't you just feel safer now with them around." I said in a sarcastic voice.
"Hey, you two dinner's ready! Come get your grub." That definitely got me excited, I didn't even realise how hungry I was. With that said I quickly ran to the kitchen and sat down to eat.
"So what do we have to eat?"
"It's your favourite, sushi, we decided to get some on the way home since we couldn't go to China. I hope you enjoy."
"I most certainly will." After that, we all sat down and ate in peace and quiet.
After we finished we all got ready for bed and went to sleep. But I didn't sleep that much because my head was too full of ideas of what I would be able to do now that I have a huge alien robot as a friend. Let's hope I can squeeze all of them into this one week.
