As the Nemesis was irreversibly damaged when the Ark warped into it, Soundwave was forced use the Longshot when The Fallen's sarcophagus urged them to follow the Autobot ship. There was some trouble fitting the entire crew of the Nemesis onto the smaller ship, so the Constructicons were stowed away in the cargo hold and the Decepticon hatchlings were left behind. The Longshot then followed the Ark through the spatial anomaly it left behind, and was spat out near Earth several thousand years into the future. Convergence chapter 1
In order to report his findings within the Ark to The Fallen, Soundwave used the Longshot to return to the Nemesis in 1979. Even though he left again immediately after arriving, the back-and-forth trip took decades for the slower ship to complete, and it didn't return to Earth until 2007. Much of the crew was put in stasis for the return trip to keep them from complaining. Convergence chapter 4
