Soundwave is really the only Decepticon who got the better of the Autobots on more than one occasion, and he's the only Decepticon that Megatron consistently relies on across most media. Everytime Megatron needs something done, Soundwave has either already done it, or, he's already in the process of doing it.

Prime Soundwave is my favorite incarnation of him! Though his silence was a fun one-time gimmick, his actions of loyalty and sheer competence are the traits that made him lovable to me. Cyberverse's incarnation did start him off as a bit of a jerk, but later developments in that series made him great like he always was. I also do like the new angle in IDW and Cyberverse that show that Soundwave isn't inherently evil, but just happens to be extremely loyal to the Decepticon's first principles of equality.

Love how dangerous Soundwave is always treated as.

Prime Soundwave was really good, but Cyberverse Soundwave is definitely my favorite. His personality was pretty unique among Soundwaves, and despite being a loyal Decepticon throughout the entire series, was willing to ally with the Autobots against a common foe. He was even able to lead the Decepticons to make peace with the Autobots and bring and end to the war. His sacrifice at the end of the series was really sad too, but had a ton of impact due to how important the character had been throughout the show. I also really liked his relationship with Laserbeak.

There was a point in the development of the original toyline and its mythology where Soundwave was planned to be the leader of the Decepticons. This is why his head was used as the model for the Decepticon insignia, and why the earlier version of Megatron's character model (the one that made it into the earliest commercial) looks so different.

@ChrisMcFeely

7 ай бұрын

To the best of my knowledge, that's simply fan speculation based on the fact the insignia is designed after Soundwave. It might feel like it makes sense in isolation, but it doesn't really scan when you take into account the Autobot symbol being based on Prowl/Bluestreak - it's extremely unlikely either of them was ever considered for the role of Autobot leader over the big expensive truck toy, so there's no reason to think the symbols were designed based on who was going to be leader. Megatron's early character model is just different because it's based on a prototype of the toy.

My sister and I aren't the closest, but I'll always remember Soundwave as being her favorite Decepticon. She's the music person in my family, so Soundwave's sound abilities and alt mode won her over. I'm more of a Thundercracker person (IDW at least, come on, I want to see TC used more as a character and not just a Starscream redeco), but Soundwave's pretty cool in his own right.

@@cillianstewart9441 what about Jazz or Blaster?

Soundwave is pretty much always in my top three favorite Decepticons (the other two being Megs and Shockwave), but the IDW incarnation is easily my favorite for so many reasons. Even aside from just being a perfectly-written character, the thing that endears me to IDW Soundwave the most is that he feels extremely autism-coded, which makes him so much more relatable to me. Him basically suffering from chronic sensory overload until a cat helped him focus and grow is… more or less my own story if I’m being honest. Actually feeling represented by seeing a character get overloaded like I do just means the world to me, and add his more heroic characterization on top of that, and you’ve got one of my favorite characters in anything ever. IDW Soundwave just inspires me a lot, not gonna lie. Soundwave superior!

A most auspicious day! One of the greatest G1 bots gets his day in the sun!

“Soundwave superior” indeed. Great update!

Just wanna make two comments: 2:25 I'm sure most of us already know this, but the famous voice begins with Frank Welker doing the voice he does for Doctor Claw, the main antagonist of the Inspector Gadget series, which is then modulated through a vocoder, resulting in an electronic, "synthesized" voice, you can say. Apparently, the reason Frank did this was to help himself distinguish Soundwave from Megatron during the recording sessions, since he was voicing two characters who converse with each other pretty regularly, meaning that every now and then, he might be basically recording a scene by himself in the booth. That said, there have been times in the cartoon where, due to mistakes by the sound editing team, the vocoder was not applied, allowing you to clearly hear the Doctor Claw voice. In addition, the Bay movies did away with the vocoder altogether, and Prime Soundwave's one line downplayed the vocoder to emphasize the natural Claw voice instead; in Robots in Disguise '15, the vocoder is back in the spotlight. 8:11 On the topic of Soundwave's cassette player mode, there is one redeco of his G1 toy that has always been of great interest to me. In 2013, there was this limited edition redeco that was made in collaboration with Linkin Park, who did the theme songs of the first three Bay movies (and a trailer for the Rise of the Dark Spark game). This "Linkin Park Soundwave" was gold and black, coming with gold versions of four of his cassette minions (Ratbat, Ravage, and the completely identical Laserbeak and Buzzsaw). This Soundwave didn't have any stickers, factory-applied or otherwise, but it did have a tampographed Decepticon symbol that you can see beside the tape deck when he's in tape player mode, and the Minutes to Midnight-era Linkin Park logo (the one that has the circle) was tampographed on his chest. The box was basically stylized to look like a black-with-gold-accent Soundwave in cassette player mode, with this stylized "tape" that says "Linkin Park / Transformers Mix" at the "tape deck". I think it was sold on this specific music store, that was (at least at the time, since I have no idea of its current status) owned by Linkin Park turntablist Joe Hahn. I've always felt that redeco was awesome. EDIT: I thought the LP Soundwave toy had a tampographed insignia in his shoulder (think of Optimus Prime), but upon recheck, I was mistaken. Correction has been made.

Soundwave is awesome! No matter how much updates we get for his basic s videos... He will always be an all time favorite! My favorite versions are the G1 and Cybertron versions!

I love that its almost an unspoken rule at this point that if Soundwave is in a Transformers show he HAS TO look cool and/or at least be a serious enough threat that it takes effort from all the Autobots to fully defeat him.

One of the most iconic Transformers of all time, and my personal favourite of them all

Given how tediously the TFUK fans like to pick the bones and retcon every aspect of the franchise, it’s amazing we haven’t yet had depicted a scene of young revolutionary Megatron telling Soundwave to hold still while he traces his face for his new cool logo.

@@MDestron2282 Right I think that is what sets Soundwave apart from other loyal cons like say Cyclonus. Most cons are loyal to Megs because A their scared of him, B their too stupid not to revolt against the guy, C they are just bootlicking followers who just want to be around the big guy, or D is brainwashed to do so. However, soundwave is one of the few Cons who genuinely follows Megatron out of loyalty and duty. The only other cons I can say do that are Shockwave or Shadowstriker. Honestly, that is the biggest reason I love him so much He gets shit done but still looks out for Megatron back, and visa versa with Megatron.

G1 Soundwave is always my favourite incarnation of Transformers history.

A return to one of the great. I opt to call a group of Soundwaves a Decibel. A fun Radio Shack fact. Audio cassettes served as an early storage medium for programs and software.

This was right when personal computers took off tying Transformers to cutting edge technology.

Honestly... I think my favorite version of Soundwave is the Cyberverse version. He had a lot of personality being sort cold on the surface, but was actually a bit of a sass master and surprisingly cooperative and even friendly. In his own way, anyway. Plus he would often provide background music and soundbytes for himself or for comedic effect. He's the type of character who, upon first glance, you wouldn't expect to have a sense of humor.

I was 11 in '84. I spent all year wanting a Soundwave toy. I drew pictures of him, watched the clock waiting for the show to start. Christmas Eve, my dad hid one last present behind the tree. When i got to the last one and was happy yet disappointed, he pulled it out from behind the tree. Ever have a moment when everything around you seems to slow to a stop, all you can hear is your own thoughts or the lack there of? That's what happened when I opened that last package. And I still have that same soundwave today 39 years later.

My favorite Soubdwave is the one from IDW. He would redeem himself and choose peace and equality after he led the Decepticons.

I just opened up my shiny new Legacy Soundwave yesterday, guess I had good timing!

I’m gonna say right out of the gate, Soundwave talking like a DJ was easily the most awesome modern-day quirk for him aside from the synthesizer modulation. His presence in the Cybertron television show plus that voice quirk had me floored as a little kid, and coupling those with a deep story like IDW’s 2005-2019 comics would be the best thing ever.

Soundwave has always been one of the most loved pop culture icons in history, I have never met a single person who hates or dislikes Soundwave for any reason. There are so many variations of the character that everyone can find the one they love the most. Soundwave will always and forever be superior

Finally!! And update on my favorite decepticon ever 😊 (also love to see more comically powered starscream)

The Marvel UK version of Soundwave is my favourite especially in stories like Dinobot Hunt and Space Pirates.

I remember in the original basics on Soundwave, you said, and I quote, “And if you’re thinking ‘that doesn’t sound like the sound wave I know’ you’re not exactly wrong.” And I was like “That’s exactly what I’m thinking. No version of Soundwave I know of was a backstabbing opportunist, that sounds more like a Starscream thing.”

Definitely prefer him as a Boombox, but him as an alien ship or satellite really works. I did love his design in Cybertron, but nowadays standard Jets are so stealthy it feels more out of place to see the Stealth Bombers they give him than it is to see a boom box with cassette tapes. Basically a modern updated Seeker (an F22 or F35) would be stealthier than just about any of Soundwave's "Stealth Bomber" alt modes.

Soundwave is no minion. By all accounts, Soundwave is the true leader of the Decepticons. He leads from behind the scenes and operates in the shadows. Yet, when he is needed to lead from the front. He is quite an effective leader. After all his short time, he did lead the Decepticons. He brought the Autobots to their knees in short order. Also, his cassettes are not minions. They are his friends.

Soundwave is by far one of my most favorite characters. The appeal of the toy as a kid that could hold smaller cool Transformers is what did it for me. That voice though from the OG series in 84' was another cool feature I digged.

I really like the alt-mode for the figure from the Bumblebee movie. I think it looks appropriately alien and futuristic for a giant robot from another world.

My absolute favorite Decepticon. Even in Transformers Prime, where there's many memorable Decepticons, he still stands out.

Soundwave was also in the studio series toyline in both his satellite mode from revenge of the fallen and his mercedes benz car mode from dark of the moon

I cannot wait to see more Soundwave in Earthspark!

I always loved Soundwave growing up. I really liked his ability to deploy smaller bots like that. Although seeing him with a mouth was just weird to me.

I love the ending of the video. Thanks for the updated version of this character. I can't wait to see what new intel you will have in your next video.

Very good video. While I didn't like RotF, the satellite was the best alt-form he ever had. It fits perfectly to his role.

It was a perfect update on soundwave! I loved it! And my favorite version of him is G1.

Soundwave and Shockwave. my top 2 deceptions, i can never get those two out of my mind. gotta love the fact that Soundwave has stayed very consitant his entire life.

One of the 1st toys of mine G1 Soundwave is still one of the coolest looking, best voice, and overall badass from G1. Not so sure that nobody would follow an uncharismatic boor after all!!

Prime and the Aligned Continuity will always be my favorite iteration of this character and the best in my opinion. But as a Decepticon. As a character on his own and with just as much power, loyalty, and dedication that honor goes to the Cyberverse Continuity. I was genuinely not expecting him to die in the final episode. Even after losing Slipstream, Prowl, and Blur, which all happened within the first two seasons, despite only happening at the very end of the series in the second of last two part special finale, his absence left the loudest sound of silence. And I honestly don't think I'll ever be okay with that. But if there's one thing Soundwave taught me it's this. Never forget . . . the music.

That voice in 1984 sounded like nothing else on TV... it was amazing

Soundwave and Blaster with all their minions were my favorites. I also have Sound Blaster and Twin Cast

Basics on Soundwave: SUPERIOR. Brilliant as always

In Generation 2, another Soundwave toy, a recolor of Laser Cycle Road Pig, was planned for release but was cancelled. I love this 'Con and everything about him. My favorite incarnations are his Generation 1 and IDW versions. In my Transformers roleplay, me and a friend play Soundwave as a peace-loving 'Bot who switched sides after growing restless with Galvatron's leadership, now leading a group of Decepticons into abandoning violence and accepting peace to become Deceptibots.

Also against other Autobots, but Blaster took him out all by himself, He might be superior to others, but he's a chump next to Blaster! Also Soundwave is still so Badass, Also Soundwave is awesome! No matter how much updates we get for his basic videos He will always be all time favorite, My favorite versions are: 1.The G1,2.Prime,3.Cyberverse & 4.Earthspark versions!

I'm a fan from the start. Never had the original toy, but loved him in the G1 cartoon. As an adult fan, I've loved the Prime and Cyberverse incarnations. Soundwave superior, indeed.

G1 is always my favorite version due to the tapes in him, but big honorable mention to his faceless Prime version.

My new favorite ending of this show. “Soundwave, superior.”

First Decepticon seen in the G1 cartoon, and his Alt Mode was a T-Pose. (Ok, it was supposed to be a cybertronian streetlamp, but c'mon, this madlad was T-Posing back when Dinosaurs were roaming the Earth.)

Outstanding video! Thank you! Yep, Soundwave has got to be one of the greatest action figures and characters of all time, no question.

Soundwave was always a favorite of mine as a kid too. That modulated monotone voice was just cool. And a Decepticon who was actually loyal was a rare and interesting sight. I couldn't get the classic one when I was a kid but I did manage to get the War for Cybertron Soundwave. I also got the rest of his cassettes, or I guess data discs. I got lucky and even found the data disc Buzzsaw on eBay, since Buzzsaw only came with Soundblaster. I am so pleased I was able to get Soundwave's original six partners. I just imagine it's an upgraded form he took after the Return of Optimus Prime.

Such fun video. Thanks, Chris!

I would love to see, either in a comic or in a show, Soundwave acknowledging the human's weird bent towards nostalgia. I imagine him being a big truck, or yet another kind of drone, and then him encountering a young teenager who is fiddling with an old school boom box and some cassette tapes. The kid, who is just marveling over the cool factor of the object and what it does, mentions that sometimes simple and straightforward is just as interesting as the oblique and the complex. Soundwave, as result of this random interaction, finds some sense of nostalgia for himself and decides to take on a "superior, retro-active form." Maybe he'd even comment on how it's funny how easily people give into the idea that older tech means safer tech and how he plans to capitalize on the human's own curiosity in order to pursue his own plans.

I love watching the TFs interact with Earth culture. Tailgate and Pipes worked in IDW, don’t get me wrong, but there’s something so charming about them being “little kid who thinks Earth machines are alive” and “weird dude who collects Earth curios”.

Soundwave is the real second in command of the Decepticons I like in the Prime version of Soundwave you get the idea he might be the only Decepticon who could be a threat to Megatron if he wanted to
