==Fiction==
===Shattered Glass===
As the [[Decepticon]]s followed [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]]'s plan to disable the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s launching platform, Soundwave was among the ground forces that followed Starscream, [[Divebomb (SG)|Divebomb]] and [[Whisper (SG)|Whisper]]'s initial assault. Later in the battle he was seen assisting the injured [[Slugslinger (SG)|Slugslinger]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

When the Autobots tried to take the [[Arch-Ayr]] fuel dump from the [[Decepticon]]s and it was starting to look bleak, Soundwave called in the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]] as the "cavalry". {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

Starscream reported to Soundwave that the [[Slugfest (SG)|Slugfest]] and [[Overkill (SG)|Overkill]] were missing. Soundwave checked the security tapes, but found only minor glitches. The two [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinocons]] were soon discovered, having transformed into octaltrack data cartridges.

When boarding the ''[[Nemesis (SG)|Nemesis]]'', [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] assigned Soundwave to the comm. Soundwave brought with him his usual complement of [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|tapes]] as well as the newcomers Slugfest and Overkill.

Soundwave manned the comm throughout the clash with the ''Ark''. He volunteered to stay and help Starscream guide the damaged Nemesis down to [[Earth]], but Cliffjumper insisted that Soundwave seek the safety of an escape pod, because he would need to communicate with Cybertron about their situation. {{storylink|Do Over}}

Before the ''Nemesis'' crash-landed on Earth, Soundwave jettisoned in an escape pod, but went into [[stasis lock]] when it landed. [[Heatwave]] found him at a scenic spot named [[Wyatt's Roadsideaganza]] and reactivated the escape pod's systems and the on-board scanner, which [[scanning|scanned]] a vehicle nearby for Soundwave and reactivated him. Soundwave tore a flag from a nearby pole and used it as his [[wikipedia:Hachimaki|hachimaki]], then detonated the stasis pod as the pair of them set out to find their fallen comrades. {{storylink|The Desert Heat!}}

For his various heroic deeds, he was knighted and given the title Sir Soundwave. Shortly thereafter, he attended a [[Misfits]]/[[Cold Slither (band)|Cold Slither]] concert. {{storylink|Blitzwing Bop}}

: Released by [[TakaraTomy]]'s [[Music Label]], [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Music Label|Soundwave]] is an MP3 player which takes a miniSD card. The box says it can take up to 1 GB, but many claims have shown it can support up to 2 GB. The player uses one AAA battery. The player also features a transformation almost entirely accurate to his Generation 1 appearance. He also comes with two sets of hands, his shoulder cannon, and a sidearm. It's totally awesome (but isn't on mars) to so many degrees.

:'''Controls'''
:* Play/Pause (Press and hold for three seconds to power on or off)

: It also treats Folders as Albums.

: An LED behind the "cassette" door turns on and flashes to indicate the power's on. The single AAA battery lasts for about 6 hours of continuous play. Soundwave was initially released in two color schemes: "Spark Blue", his normal blue and silver colors; and "Sonic White", a mostly white color scheme with some blue detailing, echoing the traditional iPod color scheme.

==Notes==
*Soundwave was not explicitly named in his initial comic appearance.
*Soundwave's Earth form is based on [[Universe (2008 franchise)|''Universe'' Classics Series]] [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s toy with a more Soundwavey head. His vehicle mode has a [[Cold Slither]] design on the side.
