[If she weren't laughing, Sam might try to stop him---as it is, that'll have to wait a second, as will actually answering, because this is so like her first conversation with Hiro. Sure, nothing is trying to maul Soundwave and he isn't up a tree, but the tangents? The tangents come close.]
Expected buildings being absent I'd explain as probably part different Cybertron, part Miasma shenanigans, and part terraforming efforts, since the grass and trees had to go somewhere. [Yeah she's just going to interrupt to answer because that might be the only way to get Soundwave to stop. Dude's aptly named.] As for all the people, most would be in the city itself, which is underpopulated---even by my standards, which is saying something. There's no easy in or out thanks to the Miasma, so... yeah. There are other Cybertronians, though, don't worry.
There's no reason why not! It's your comm drone, for one thing, and for another just asking around will probably get you supplied with whatever you need for whatever you want to do to it, materials-wise, and you could probably borrow harder-to-find tools from Wheeljack---he's the chief engineer, and an easygoing guy. [There's a little chuckle.] Gave us an extra drone to pick apart and incorporate into the theatre's sound set-up, so people could tune in to pick up a show's audio. For context, it's kind of a drive-in slash walk-up slash drop in outdoor theatre, just recently completed.
