[Orbited. But he's still in a stage of coping and grieving over... a lot of things, honestly, including the loss of his space station and friends. He wasn't afford any time to do that while Unicron was about to tear apart Earth. No time here either until he finds a secluded corner to himself to take stock of it all.]
Capable enough to survive a war that lasted for four million years.
[No further elaboration on that, and Soundwave doesn't think any further about that particular question, either. There's no way it'll come in his mind naturally that the other is sizing him up for a future spar. That's a ridiculous idea! While he's no longer 30ft giant he used to be, he's made entirely of metal and he still towers over most, including Bakugo, special powers or no.
Speaking of special powers...]
Outlier. That is what they called us Cybertronian who possesses special abilities. We are rare, as only naturally born Cybertronians may come with an additional ability
[He's heard that right. Alien metal people are born naturally. Soundwave, though, just dropped that little tidbit matter-of-factly and moves on.]
I am an Outlier. I have... sensitive hearings. I can hear from a large distance away than any normal person can.
[Well, normal person in a Cybertronian sense, but tell him if there's another person whose hearings are so strong they could hear someone calling out their name on the other side of the planet.
Oh, and yet another half-truth.
He can hear over a large distance away, yes, but his hearings are so strong he could pick up on someone's emotions and thoughts as well. An empath. Though Soundwave has his own principle to not invade another's mind without a good reason, if anyone knows there is a being with such an invasive power around, it'll be a cause to fear him. It's safer to keep that part a secret.]
