And since all the satelite content was complete CGI, he deserves 0 credit. And since ALL of the acting scenes with real people have been terrible in each and every movie, he deserves 100% of the blame.

So i think like what Nauotit was saying would be a better fit in today's world. a more modern surveillance or communications vehicle would be best, or as some sort of telecommunications satellite, to allow him unfettered access to the world's telecom systems in general.

I have one problem with this, as I have had with any other military mode he has had in the past. That's not covert. In his appearances he was the intelligence operative and a reconnaissance operative. You're not going to be very good at reconnaissance if you stick out like a sore thumb in modern society like a big armored camo communications truck or a black jet roaring through the sky. The only one I could slightly agree with was his military drone but if anyone saw that flying through a modern city anyone that saw it would be getting ready for an air raid. Soundwave needs a form that can blend in easily anywhere not just in the battle field. You remember what his very first on screen appearance was? A communications tower outside of the autobot city!!!! I really think a communications system service truck like a Comcast van or something suits him far better. Look to my main comment for a more in depth explanation.

The kids who grew up with it are old enough to have kids who now have children of their own for crying out loud! Hell, the people who were introduced to Transformers via the Bay movies are now becoming adults!

I have no mouth and I must scream

One of the best transformers alongside with the evil trio: Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave. For me, the main thing is keeping the body build, the alt mode is secondary. I love his robot mode (G1). But Soundwave and Megatron alt modes should be updated. Megatron as a tank is more than fine, just keep his robot mode as intact as possible. Soundwave.. hmm.. Humwee maybe, with communication devices? (As it could be box-like) Military Humwees can be modified with various ”packages” in real life, like medical package, missile package (tow II missile louncer), or communication devices.. so it could be a good option. But whatever the alt mide, keep the looks and voice.

@@SinSorrowEU perhaps breakdown (if they ever bring him into the movies or bring him back to the aligned continuity's timeline) could be a civilian Hummer? (Like the early ones that were essentially humvees)

I'd like to see him with an alt mode as an armored tracked or wheeled vehicle designed as a communications/HQ type command vehicle. Several antennas and maybe a radar dish.

I like the idea of Soundwave as a humvee with a big stereo. It would be kinda funny to have the casseticons rocking out to his sound system while driving down the street. Soundwave’s boxiness and voice modulation are both elements that I’d like to see faithfully adapted in the future. With his monotone voice and unreadable face, he has this sinister undertone that can be really malleable between (goofy) cartoons and more serious adaptations. The simpleness of his design works in his favor. War for Cybertron (game) Soundwave is probably my favorite ‘modern’ interpretation across all of his transformations, in part because it balances the serious and the goofy. His robot mode is somewhat boxy, but also feels more practical than his 80’s look. And although his vehicle altmode was on the generic side, I appreciated that he also had a weaponized subwoofer alt that called back to the cassette player. If a giant boom box keeps the cassette vibe relevant, I’m all for it. Plus, it makes Soundwave seem like a closet party animal, which I find hilarious.

Yes finally a soundwave retrospective! I love soundwave

I thought his design in Prime was really clever. As an actual reconnaissance vehicle used today, a UAV. It allowed him to observe the goings on from incredible heights.

Ah, the iconic form. Just like the blue London Police Box exists now only in the form of the Doctor's TARDIS, the micro-cassette player now only exists in the form of classic Soundwave.

Soundwave and the Cassette-icons!!! We've got to popularize that as their group name

I love G1 Soundwave.

He was the best deception for me

I have been WAITING for this issue. Thank you for for making this video

I was thinking of something like a satellite van, specifically a Mercedes, so he can keep a box-likish design and to have him have some sort of communication based vehicle while also modernizing his alternative form

Also, in the G1 episode “Roll for It” Soundwave sounded like Dr.Claw in one scene.

Soundwave is awesome. One of the greatest characters in Transformers history.

I always believed that if there was one Decepticon that Megatron would consider a friend, it would have been Soundwave.

I think he should remain a music player, be it an SD Card MP3, a stereo, a Walkman, or an MP3 player dock. The music theme NEEDS to remainn because that's the most iconic thing about him. Him and his family of tape bots. Also, if Transformers and Marvel do another crossover, he should become Starlord's new Walkman. For devious purposes, of course.

Soundwave will always be a cassette deck at heart. But for me, a modern update to a alternative mode are either these two. -10:48 Helicopter mode Soundwave would be awesome as hell to fully bring into the Transformers universe. -ROTF Soundwave can slightly morph his satellite mode into a cybertronian jet in both the toyline and videogame. Sure the armor truck modes in others incarnations looks cool. But I prefer that he has a aerial mode. Sidenotes: This dark purple verison 2:40 of G1 Soundwave from the Marvel comics would be an interesting toy to have. His robot mode 18:19 looks awesome and 14:14 looks badass. His Cybertronian lamppost mode 17:05 great, and his G1 inspired design for the Bumblebee movie remains epic 16:42.

Absolutely loved this video. Dedicated Soundwave found and loved seeing all the versions of him put in order! 👌🏼 my favorite has to be Prime tho

For me, the most special part of your retrospectives is when you tell us what the character in question got up to in the comics, and thanks for always mentioning the UK comics too, nice to know our Soundwave was coloured correctly. I never had him as a kid but I got him boxed in the early days of e-bay for a good price, and I have the Japanese Book/Box reissue from the mid 2000's. Thanks again for your great work Rodimus.

"NO ONE CALLS sOUNDWAVE UNCHROSAMATIC!"

He has to be something that releases smaller bots. The tape deck was so cool with the little tape bots. I like the satelite van idea best maybe with a satellite that turns into a bot and another one that comes out of the back of the van that would be badass.

I loved the satellite version of him in the live action movie. But a modern version should be a news truck or a military communications truck like others in the comments have stated. This makes the most sense. The military drone was also a cool idea.

Soundwave was the most badass Decepticon by far!

I think in the earth rise toy line hasbro should make two soundwave figures one that turns into a classic micro cassette recorder and another that turns into a modern updated form so fans can have a choice if they prefer the g1 alt mode or a modern alt mode or both

I have been checking out videos I missed and came across this one. Surprisingly even as Soundwave is my favorite Decepticon. Your idea as having Soundwave as a news van or satellite studio truck is one I can't believe I've never heard elsewhere or thought of myself. I'm going to start hunting for parts and hit the printer to see if I can make this happen. I'll make sure to send you production updates and bounce some ideas off of if you would like. Great idea!

My favorite version of Soundwave is G1 and Cyberverse

If we're including "mass shifting"/shrinking down while transforming, I'd say either a cell phone or a personal digital voice recorder (I prefer the latter). If no mass shifting is involved, I'd say a surveillance van.

@tgipro6387

Surveillance van sounds like a great alt form for him

Wow! I never realized that Soundwave’s head was used as the design for the decepticon ensignia!

my favourite iteration of soundwave, beside G1, is his Animated design with his SUV alt mode it calls back to Soundwave's routes as a music cassette player, while also modernizing it and attaching it to a more mobile vehicle (well modernizing at the time Animated was airing). i love how Lazerbeak and ratbat are guitars as a modernise compromise, and while animated's story is more of less finished (aside from the unaired season), it does open up ideas for design of his other cassette bots (i can see Ravage being a Bass Guitar, Rumble and Frenzy both as one drumset (similar to Ice-cream truck bayverse Skids and Mudflap), Buzzsaw could be a recolored lazerbeak or a DVD/Blu-ray Disc)

Soundwave’s Modern alternate mode should be a Communications truck.

Personally I like the Transformers Prime version of Soundwave the best. It deviates the most from his G1 design and personality so many hardcore fans might disagree (correction: most definitely will disagree) but I find the idea of a giant robot transforming into a tiny handheld device very gimmicky. Soundwave's intelligent and loyal personality and, despite being mute, was a Deception to be feared made him a stand out character. He doesn't have his voice-modifying feature but I feel like that is worth sacrificing for such an amazing character. As for his alternate mode, I found the military recon jet to be very suiting for his role in the Deception forces, his personality, and it also fits the theme that most Deceptions use flying-vehicle modes. The armored SUV is generic and again the music-centered handheld device can't be taken seriously. A communications truck would actually be interesting though! Especially with its satellites and other parts transforming into Soundwave's minions.

this is a good video! Love the topic.

I like the picture at 18:23 you put in, and your idea of the equipment being his spy team. I was thinking of a hummer with a LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) attached. Think there is a picture of something like this used in one of the Hulk Movies.

I would like to see soundwave as a tablet or a cellphone.

Favorite version will always be the cassette player lol. It just is what it is.

It could be transformed into a communications van, in which its minicons are different alternate modes instead of simply cassettes. Rumble and Frenzy could be speakers, Laserbeak a drone, and Ravage I think would be the most complicated to give it an alternate mode.
