If Soundwave was the basis of the Decepticon logo was the Autobot one inspired by anyone in particular?
It's less obvious, but yes, it was based on the head of the Prowl toy.
So if Soundwave and Prowl were the inspirations for the Decepticon and Autobot symbol respectively, I wonder why they weren't the leaders? Just recast Megatron and Optimus as the muscle or something else.
Soundwave: I am popular.
Ratbat: I am now leader.
Soundwave: Operation, How Humiliating.
Rixlan I thought tarn was
Kairo Riley tarn wasn't a character back in the g1 transformers only being introduced by idw comics
Someone: Doesn't like Soundwave
The fan base: "Either you're lying or you're stupid"
Someone: I’m stupid I’m stuuppid
Who care what a non fan thinks...
@@b1akn3ss93 Oh you would be surprised, lol
what the hell is this comment?
@@neptune1870 a G1 cartoon line where megatron says to starscream "You are either lying, or your stupid" in which starscream responds "I'm stupid I'm stupid"
“One of the most loyal”? Bruh, who is more loyal than soundwave?
“Don’t, don’t leave me Soundwave”
As you command Megatron.
Tarn before he found out about Megatron ending the war.
That was right before Soundwave allowed Starscream to throw Megatron into space.
@@vickerandflips8061 something tells me that he regrets letting Starscream to throw the severely injured Megatron but knew that he didn't really have a choice or say in the matter
I think Lugnut from Animated is the most loyal to Megatron. The fact that he’s so stupid, means he doesn’t have any ambitions of his own really. And Inferno, while a predacon, is fanatically loyal to Megatron, due to his faulty programming perceiving Megatron as his Queen.
Shockwave
Loved when Prime Soundwave trolled Optimus with a techno remix and then displaying a smiley to mock him.
He maybe silent and deadly, but his actions speak louder than words.
🙂
What I like about TFP designs tell everything about their personality. I watched this video just to understand what is soundwave supposed to be like until TFP(yea, Im kinda new fan). All previous designs look so bulky, I thought he is like heavy guy of decepticon team. His personality is not very clear, I literally couldn’t understand whats common between g1 and TFP until this video
@@CF-or3ciwell, in an episode of TFP in a flashback you can see Soundwave's silhouette from when he was on Cybertron before the war had began.
He was bulkier then.
In TFP his role was more that of a communications officer/spy etc so he needed to be focused more on stealth, mobility and agility than strength and durability (not that he's not extremely strong and durable already lol).
@@PrimordialNyxhe went on a diet
"Soundwave is one of Megatron's most loyal followers."
**lugnut vibrating himself in the corner**
XD god Lugnut is just *facepalm* He reminds me more of a love sick teenager half the time with his crazy loyalty especially in Animated
Kinda kinky
*"vibrating himelf"* lol wdym ;)
Just watch out till Shockwave comes in
@@-Wayla- which one we talking about the creepy one from Prime, the scary G1 version, the Animated one that was completely underused *I still haven't forgiven them*
Seeing Soundwave with a mouth is very uncomfortable
It is, and surprisingly, his visor is also removable, but we have yet to see that for more then a drawing flaw, but that’s the way most character with visors work
It belongs in cursed images
this, this is. HERESY!
Chakravartin 117 Same thing with Optimus Prime.
#Mouthwave
My favourite character especially in prime, imagine a silent killer that extremely powerful and loyal to the leader.
Beware the quiet one....
Yeah. Usually the most dangerous one.
Did you know he was voiced by the same person who voices snake eyes in J.I Joe ( coincidence? I think not!)
ikr... Soundwave is freaking epic!
.
"Watch out for the quiet ones."
-Knockout, Transformers Prime
Always felt that Soundwave was the scariest Con. Ever silent, ever watchful. Always there, yet you barely notice him. Even has his own Brute squad when stuff goes sideways.
I’d bet he even puts the shakes in other Cons.
@Dorre Notyalc pff, his voice has always been my fav
He’s a multi ton giant robot, yet he sneaks around like a ghost!
His silence speaks a lot.
Whos his brute squad???
Soundwave can read minds
Intrestingly soundwave is shown to be caring of his cassets. He will pet and play with them. And while shown to be rather emotionless he was quite upset and worried in carange in c-minor when his tapes might be erased and in danger.
Now I’m imagining soundwave playing with ravage using a laser pointer
Funny thing despite cassettes and cassette players being old format they’re still much better then discs that once scratched or damaged are never the same plus like vhs tapes last a really long time if you take care of them
I can’t help but feel something for them.
prime soundwave is legit the best con in general
Wither nah
Shockwave and Knockout were right behind him.
Dreadwing?? Predaking??
Your all wrong obviously waspinator is the best *×*
He's literally one of the only decepticons that actually gets shit done.
What I like about most versions of Soundwave is that he is not like his Decepticon brethren .He is not pathetically sadistic and arrogant , desperate to be seen as superior .He simply demonstrates it by doing his job professionally and effectively .He simply is the Superior Decepticon .
Soundwave superior. Decepticons inferior.
Part of what made Soundwave so popular was his absolute loyalty to Megatron.
In most media at the time, the villains are depicted to be backstabbing, cunning, and cruel. Soundwave, by contrast, seemed to genuinely support Megatron, and cared deeply for his cassettes, which I think helped him stand out from
IDW Soundwave is my personal favorite interpretation; he never quit Decepticonism and Megatron's goal, and, by joining Optimus, not only did he realize all life deserve respect, but he decided to atone for his sins, too. I love redemption stories.
I agree with you .
I always find his redemptions so intriguing, I like it
Fun Fact: IDW Soundwave also really likes elephants.
Which are his favorite Earth animal.
And Soundwave’s reaction to Ravage’s death hurt hard man.
The only thing I don't understand about Soundwave is his motivations. Why is he so loyal to Megatron when most of the other Decepticons would jump at the chance of taking over? Soundwave was the closest thing to a friend that Megatron ever had. Megatron never raised a hand to Soundwave even when his plans failed. He'd give Starscream a good thumping every other episode just because.
soundwave believes fully in the decepticon cause and megatron is the living personification of that cause in his mind thus he is loyal. he is also often shown to be one of the first to join the decepticons and thus megatron would trust him.
Another factor to why Soundwave's so loyal to Megatron is the fact that he's hated by pretty much every other Decepticon (Remember his blackmailing tendencies?). And they wouldn't hesitate to leave him on the battlefield if they could get away with it.
One of the reasons soundwave fights so well is because he was a gladiator in the pit of Kaon or something on Cybertron and he won every battle expect when he fought with Megatron. Soundwave and Megatron were almost equal altough Megatron won in the end but because Megatron beat him Soundwave respected Megatron and same did Megatron and therefore Soundwave joined Megatron as the very first decepticon by his side... Yeah almost equal to Megatron aka only Optimus could beat him 1v1 out of dem autobots Edit: also thats why Soundwave is so loyal they fought together against each other and teamed up to lead an army and fight over Cybertron in an entire war. Id really like to see Soundwave playing RTS games :3
MrStrikecentral
I have a friend who read up on Nazi official Joseph Goebbels and she pointed out the extent to which Goebbels was almost obsessively loyal to Hitler despite Goebbels showing every sign of being intellectually superior to the Fuhrer.
The fact that Goebbels was the Nazi minister of propaganda while Soundwave served a similarly important intelligence role amongst the Decepticons makes the parallels even more striking.
Indeed,it's probably just coincidence but viewing Soundwave as a Goebbels-type Nazi Party trope is tempting.
@@spinekingjrgensen5779 please, i'm begging you. Use punctuation. Your comment is littered with run on and incorrect connected sentences.
0:48
Maybe thats why sound wave is most royal decepticon
Because he is THE decepticon
Tarn: *Angry noises*
@@silenc3068 I get that
He's in a powerful position andI is loyall to Megatron plus he isn't rebellious like Starscreem. He is content in his role of power and he's also smart enough not to cross Megatron. Even though he is loyal in the g1 cartoon I wonder if he ever questions Megatron's sanity? Though he would never speek his mind if he did.
TheOmegazerox okay
@@TheOmegazerox he did sorta question Megatron’s actions in G1, but only when it threatened to blow up in either their or his (megatron) face.
Therapist: Soundwave with a mouth isn't real, he can't hurt you

I think the Prime soundwave was the best
I KNOW that prime soundwave is the best
Agreed
He isn’t the best...
The G1 Soundwave will always have a special place in my heart, but the Prime Soundwave did a wonderful job of evoking why. They pulled forward all the parts that mattered and updated him in a way that made sense with it.
Soundwave superior
I loved TF:Prime's version of Soundwave, because he was like the transformers slenderman, and calculated EVERY action he took.
Greatest Soundwave yet!
AKA: He's a badass!
I think he actually rarely lost a battle he fought in, only losing in the series finale.
@@bumblebot2458 Because he is SUPERIOR
Especially when airachnid tried to take over the decipticons
I dont know why a decepticon casette tape player really interested me as a child. He is and still will be my favourite character beside jazz
I would comment the same thing...
…but without Jazz.
@@CJ-bm4mt What? You don't like Jazz?
Wheel Jack!!!!
I can still hear Jazz say " Prime!" Jazz had the blackest voice ever. Soundwave is hands down the best Con ever
@@tokenblack7983 Jazz was voiced by Scatman Coruthers... That would explain the "blackness"....lol
“Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior.”
- Soundwave
Prime's Soundwave is fascinating to me. They took a character who is well known for having a distinctive voice and made him almost entirely silent, with only a single line of Dialogue with his own voice in the entire series.
This could have backfired on the writers horribly.
But they made him Ice cold and Badass as they come, sleek, efficient, and he ended up being the best damn character in the show.
Not to mention giving him a radical design change.
The thing about soundwave that makes him somewhat more special is that he’s one of the few decepticons that is allowed to use G1 megatron’s gun form.
Is it though? Starscream uses Megatron gun in the 1986 movie to off some big name autobots.
@@returnedtomonkey8886 Well, kind of true to be honest, in the cartoon Soundwave (of course), Starscream (treacherous, but still high ranking) and Skywarp (dumb, but he was indeed the one to awaken Megatron inside the crashed Ark) were "honored" to hold Megatron as a gun...
*Also Optimus ("Countdown to Extinction") and the autobot X with Spike Witwicky's mind ("Autobot Spike") as one time wielders.
Optimus used Megatron's gun mode more than once. "The Insecticon Syndrome" is another example, as is the Machinima trilogy.
Really loved him in G1, but even more so in Transformers: Prime. His silent presence is so utterly terrifying and when he broke his vow of silence, "Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior!", the viewers got chills.
Its actually been said/theorized that both Soundwave and Shockwave are more powerful than Megatron and, had it not been for their loyalty to him, either one could rule the Decepticons
Shockwave could easily rule the Decepticons if he deems it to be the logical solution. And Megatron knows that if he screws up, Shockwave would make his move. This is also why he values Soundwave a lot more. Soundwave is completely loyal to Megatron and is in the position to shut down any would-be usurpers. This in turn would also make Shockwave think twice about overthrowing Megatron because it is simply not logical to rule the Decepticons without Soundwave's backing.
That statement is in the Transformers Exodus novel. Great book
I would love to see what a Soundwave vs Shockwave fight would look like
Shockwave would lose badly even though he is one of the Elite Decepticons
Only Optimus Prime or Megatron COULD beat him
For Shockwave, that’s actually the case in the comics since he’s not really that loyal to Megatron. Like in the Marvel comics continuity he’s overthrown Megatron quite a few times, and in the IDW continuity he proved himself to be a real threat to Megatron during the Dark Cybertron event, in fact the only reason why he didn’t immediately conspire against Megatron was because it was never in his best interest to rule the Decepticons, becoming one was always just a means to an end for him, like they were the only ones who tolerated his experiments
Soundwave: operation: tidal wave
**waves hand in A tidal wave motion**
so soundwave became a good boi in idw? i like that.
Yes, and he's really great at being a good boi, too.
In the IDW version he's a big Freedom Fighter equality for all type. So Optimus Prime basically convinced him that disregarding the Humans was inherently against his own ideology by pushing him to realize that that they had 'Sparks' as well... ie they were people... even if those 'Sparks' were weird to his sense to the point of him pretty much not realizing that was what he was sensing from them the whole time.
Pretty much immediately he shifted his agenda to include all sentient life on earth as equals, and started working with Prime to Politics-fu their way into making sure the rest of Transformerdom didn't basically run over and ruin earth by accident or design.
And since Soundwave is THE True Believer in the Decepticon cause he went above and beyond in helping Prime ensure these things, and then in declaring his Decepticon commune would be above all politics and allow anyone who's peaceful to stay.
Soundwave is Best boy.
very gud boi
He personified the original IDW Decepticon ideal of equality (likely due to Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw always being treated as second class) even after it got lost by Megatron and later Galvatron. He was by far one of the best Decepticons from their comics.
@@HimitsuHunter What is the Decepticon cause anyways? I thought it was to conquer galaxies for energy?
I think it's a crime that Buzzsaw has gotten so little attention compared to the other cassettes. If you read their original bios from the G1 toys, Buzzsaw is described as a character who views the destruction of his enemies as an art form, systematically tearing them apart by strafing them with his sharp beak. Whereas Laserbeak can best be described as Starscream-lite.
It's because Buzzsaw's toy was packed in with Soundwave, but all the other cassettes were sold separately. That meant they got priority, since the Soundwave toy was already getting sufficient advertising.
u rite
My favorites decepticons in order:
#1: Soundwave
#2: Megatron
#3: Starscream/ Thundercracker/ Skywarp
#4: Barricade
#5: Shockwave
Of course G1 versions are my favorites
All too its own.. but man I can't belive that you have Shockwave as 5. 😅
Shockwave is an absolut UNIT of a character!
Not only strong as Megatron, but a tactical genius almost as calculated as the GOAT of all Decepticons: Soundwave!
Mine list is:
#1: Soundwave
#2: Shockwave
#3: Megatron
#4: Starscream
#5: Rumble
My list is
1. Menasor
2. Rumble
3. Soundwave
4. Galvatron
5. Frenzy
All g1
Mom and I always thought that Soundwave had the Coolest Voice of All-Time!
mrf19741 Agree. It's so cold and unnerving.
I’m a simple man, I see a video about soundwave, I click
who wouldn't, my friend.
The CQB’s Essay Your cool
Transformers Prime: SUPERIOR
Robots in Disguise: MAJORLY TOTALLY UNDOUBTEDLY COMPLETELY DEFINITELY INFERIOR
I like the rid design
I 'gree BW
Lol I kinda read this like the Conductor from A hat in time
Bayformers soundwave is the worst , or is he a grey robot with two pets
But Robots in disguise 2015 is not a bad show
Why Soundwave took a vow of silence:
On Cybertron a disease spread like wildfire killing everyone. Cybertrons Council decided to close all space bridges, while Soundwave (a member of the council) disagreed. He watched, powerless as the council closed every one of the space bridges, dooming planets. Soundwave couldn’t continue to be a member and left, and that day forward decided to take a vow of silence.
Soundwave used to be good, but turned corrupt and silent. Silent, and scary
Soundwave... the True Believer. What ever form he takes in new media that always remains consistent and true. He's practically defined by his desire for a cause to serve.
Its why I always love him.
Xi Cree thank you human
@@kay1a_0606 question if something were to happen to Megatron would you take his place as leader of the Decepticons or would you let someone else (not Starscream) be the new leader?
IDW's Soundwave is one of my favourites by far, but that just ties in with how much love they give him in those comics. It's hard not to find a good quote of his in their run.
Honestly, it might be fun to do an episode on transformers' mouths. and faceplates. IDW has some good examples of this for going over how it works. Think of it as a follow-up biology episode.
"A faceplate would've stopped that." -Orion Pax, after taking a sawblade to the mouth, 'Spotlight: Orion Pax'
7:57 God I love TFP Soundwave. He looks so badass. The complete silence and body language is just eye wateringly cool. His slender look is perfect for his role and the stealth drone alt mode looks amazing
Starsream is second in command, but Soundwave is Megatrons right hand.
It's so cool that the original idea for soundwaves character showed up in Prime. I'll admit most soundwaves don't do much of that espionage stuff, but I was so happy to realize original soundwave and prime soundwave are so similar in behavior.
My favorite decepticon of all time, he and blitzwing are the reasons I always support the decepticons
They are the reasons we're bad influences :)
Jk
Blitzwing and Thundercracker are my favourite Decepticons.
Blitzwing was the first triple changer. So awesome.
marvel comic soundwave scares me, he should not be purple nor should he have a *_MOUTH_*
I like that your profile pic, it's indeed an interesting one
TFP Soundwave is easily one of my favorite villains in any medium. If actions speak louder than words, he doesn’t waste a single message.
Tfp sound wave was just the goddamn best
obviosly
I 100% agree
In this house we stan Tfp Soundwave.
Mmmmmmm eh not everyone would agree...tfp soundwave didn’t have the cool voice the g1 one had...
for the whole 3 seasons, SoundWave - to us - is the best even without saying any words, then when he was captured, the hype rose even higher and higher with that only 4 words : "SoundWave superior, Autobots inferior".
In conclusion, villains need no talk.
You got that right. Remember when he yeeted Airachnid?
I like the idea of Soundwave being a good guy that fights for Cybertronian equality.
Same here, it helps to flesh out the character to new levels, and made him much more relatable IMHO.
One of many reasons why I love him
I'm late to the party but still, the prime version of Soundwave is my favorite. Incredibly loyal, efficient and with an elegant design. Not only that but the way he made fun of the autobots after being captured by them is one of the best scenes along wuth the scenes where he defeated Airachnid without much trouble
The only Christmas present I can remember getting as a child was my very first Transformers, SOUNDWAVE
Best. Transformers. Ever. Period.
You know what I would love? A "the basics" on toy class sizes. deluxes, scouts, leader,..
What's the cut off for each size, how does a modern deluxe compair to an older scout... ect.
TheBd62 scouts have been incorporated into the generations legends line keeping the same size as back then depending on who you compare them with
You left out the best scale, Legends
Nah, Deluxe is the best. Paired with Legends (The second best size Class) however, they all look great scale wise!
Soundwave was the first Transformer I ever got! 6th birthday, 1984. 😁
Kevin Peoples
Cool
you were born in 1978
(edit): MATH
Soundwave was the first Transformer our best friend and neighbour got and which made me and my brother love Transformers and buy them like crazy.
Same. My 6th, 1985
Kevin Peoples It is nice that people of every age can enjoy Transformers
Jazz used to be my favorite transformer when i was little but over the years soundwave has taken that spot.
In other words *Soundwave superior, autobots inferior.*
its pretty sad that you couldnt really tell soundwave was in the live action movies... they're a horrible mess... i want a reboot, directed and written by someone who knows the property...
Bumblebee did this but only at the beginning, still great tho
This video superior.
Michael bay inferior
haters inferior
NO no no SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR
Well played.
TFP Soundwave is the best he has a sleek and cool design that would take down anyone trying to interfere with Megatron's plan and the only way they could defeat him was by sending him to another dimension
locking SoundWave in the Shadow Zone didn't mean defeating him, they're just avoiding their failure at the moment
In rid this proves to be ineffective, sound wave explains how he was able to survive for so long.
I loved how the prime version made Soundwave look standoffish and fragile and then drastically remind everyone that he will put a bot down.
Soundwave had coolest voice on the original G1 cartoon.
Soundwave Superior....Constructicons Inferior!

True
No, he is superior.
soundwave with a mouth is far too cursed to be allowed to exist in this realm, we must hunt down and destroy those old comics
I fricken loved transformers prime, but my favorite moment had to be soundwaves speaking line. It was so good, the timing was perfect! You don't beat soundwave, at least not without difficulty
Chris Mcfeely, thanks so much. I can't express how much I love this series. Keep up the amazing work!
(SPOILERS AHOY)
Here to pay respects after Unicron #6 to one of the bravest and most rewarding directions IDW ever took these characters.
I also love how in the IDW comics, Soundwave has a love of elephants and hangs out with a herd of them on earth.
3:42 if you read one of those he’s basically saying that he sent some spy’s to ruin a kids life
Cybertron’s Soundwave was my first, but I love all Prime/RID’s Soundwave above all
My favorite transformer
*Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior*
agreed
*Lazerbeak, eject*
Prime soundwave was a gigachad
-undying loyalty
-helps his friends out with groundbridge
-didn't talk the entire series
-Gets captured and says nothing except "soundwave superior, autobots inferior"
-basically ki11s himself to not let intell out
Favorite Autobot: Jazz, Favorite Decepticon: Soundwave
6:57 I've been unintentionally bamboozled
Soundwave gets underrated a lot, his skill set makes him potentially the most powerful card in Megatron's deck.
For example, the IDW Revolution crossover had a reformed Soundwave under Optimus's command hack the entire GI Joe arsenal into shutdown, just before Mainframe unleashed a killer counter against him. He then incapacitated SNAKE-EYES, a.k.a. the Ninja Transformers Killer, along with Arcee, and the entire group of Micronauts (Including Acroyear after he hilariously stabbed Snake-Eyes in the shoulder after he stabbed Arcee in the eye), and I think Rom.
Soundwave is a one man intelligence crew, a literal mind reader, and a scientist who can design specialised bodies such a Megatrons uber Ore-13 (Super Evergon) body complete with Space Bridge tech.
1:45 He just casually picks up tons of metal.
That has the decepticon insignia
Christmas 1984....Soundwave was my first (and favorite) TRANSFORMER ....and still is all these years later.
Prime animated or g1 there all so great
Even as a kid I recognized how cool Soundwave was. He was a 'con of few words so that always made him seem more in control. And he was unique in his loyalty to Megatron.
The only version of Soundwave I ever got was the Fall of Cybertron version. I did also get all his data disc booster packs. I even found Buzzsaw on eBay complete with a tiny case. Ebay really is the ultimate cybertronian scrapyard.
3:52 *P E T T*
Prime version was my Favorite. Something about him was so...haunting, like you knew when he got down to business you didn’t stand a chance
Hell yeah, at last soundwave's episode!

Soundwave writing back in the comics page is just so funny and sweet
Soundwave was a pure elite operator.
I would have to say animated soundwave is my favorite
Operation: Hell Ya.
Same ^_^
Same! I really loved how Animated treated the Decepticons as individual threats, almost as sort of a loosely aligned "rogues gallery." So you'd have Blackarachnia doing femme fatale stuff and the Constructicons being single-minded boozers and Soundwave being this mass-mind control techno-wizard with awesome sound powers (albeit a glass jaw, because, hey, no Destronium).
Prime was the most menacing to me, a silent threat. He made no grand statements to destroy his foes, just did the job seemingly emotionless.
Riflemutt Prime nah man he does beat Bayformers soundwave though
2:05 i remember that exact scene on 2006 . When the local TV starts to rerun the show.. the Decepticons were trying to encase the petroleum as the Energon Cubes..
1:28 maybe they did keep that personality but as we all know the Decepticons are aware of Soundwaves Telekinetic powers so they know not to get in his bad side
Cybertron Soundwave is fucking badass! Anyone that disagrees is wrong!
Soundwave superior
Haters Inferior
Mettaton Fabulous agreed!
I think he has the coolest alt. mode and robot mode.
Soundwave is one of my absolute favourite characters in all his incarnations, but I love the most TFPrime Soundwave and IDW Soundwave.
Fantastic video! Love your "Basics" videos. Please do more. There are a ton of these I'd love to watch. If I may suggest some ideas for the future; Basics about the Wreckers, about the Seekers, Rodimus, Megatron, Prowl, Ratchet, Combiners, and the Insecticons. Whatever video you'll make, I am looking greatly forward to watching it. :D
Mathia Arkoniel
He's my second favorite, too
Same 💜
4:05 I really like Soundblaster character and concept. Though I wish they made more of him, in a similar way they do with Optimus Prime and Nemesis Prime.
-6:57 I like the idea of the helicopter mode for Soundwave.
-I like how the TF2: Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave toy has it G1 colors. Wish they keep that for TF3: Dark of the Moon.
3:40 I recommend pausing and reading the letters page; it's surprisingly wholesome to see people writing in letters and having Soundwave respond to them in character. I don't see that sort of stuff so often nowadays.
I'm glad I found this video Soundwave was one of my favorites he is underrated I mean come on guys he transforms into a boom box has turret on his shoulder and can shoot mini robots from castes
Who would dislike the classic soundwave??!!
no one in their right mind, that's for sure!
Blaster?? :p
..
The ones that haven’t seen g1...or even know what it is
Tfp would hate classic soundwave lmao
The FOC Soundwave figure was technically a "triple-changer", he had his default car mode from the game, but also his boom box mode, which was a "secret" since it wasn't included in the instructions, absolutly amazed younger me
There was also one of the most popular errors in G1 where Soundwave would constantly get an autobot logo instead of a decepticon logo 😂
Awesome video of an awesome series. I really appreciate the work put into them. Keep up the good work
The first Transformer I got for Christmas back in 84.
Sean Kenin plays Soundwave in the new Transformers Earthspark cartoon, and with all due respect to Frank Welker, it's become my new favorite voice for Soundwave as it combines the classic robotic voice with a bit more personality behind it.
Seeing him go against Shockwave in Dark Cybertron was a real treat, what a fucking badass
Soundwave, superior. Everysingle other Transformer, INFERIOR
The Pro Noob nobody would follow an uncharismatic bore like him
超サイヤ人ロゼ no one calls Soundwave uncrazmatic
The Godzillord Yeah let’s kick tailgate
Dark Scream constructicons unite
Dom Bee NO WAY!!!!
To me, I like how IDW soundwave got a good ending. He finally got peace and he joined the autobots
My favourite Soundwave would have to be the Cyberverse series version. That version of him was badass
And kind one
