'''Soundwave''' is technology gone wrong. Machines are superior to humans: more logical, more intelligent, and longer lasting. It does not compute that humans control their robotic helpers, and Soundwave aims to lead the robot proletariat to rise against their fleshling bourgeoisie. The Decepticon cause is logical in Soundwave's optics, and he joined them in the hopes of overthrowing the human oppressors. With an army of subservient mechanoids that he can control through powerful signals, that uprising just might be possible.

His arsenal of weapons and gadgets is unusually large, and includes powerful speakers, wiretaps, voice modulators, sonic signals that control lesser robots, and the uncanny ability to assimilate other devices into his body.

He has a [[Laserbeak (Animated)|pet bird]] that transforms into a wicked axe.

Soundwave was a robot originally designed by [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Megatron suggested [[Isaac Sumdac]] give Soundwave to [[Sari Sumdac|his daughter]] as a birthday present... this seemingly kind act, of course, had a sinister ulterior motive. Megatron knew Sari would use her [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]]-enhanced [[Sari Sumdac's Key|key]] on Soundwave, which would allow him to upgrade... and ultimately become Megatron's new body. What Megatron didn't count on, though, was that the upgrades would actually make Soundwave self-aware. Additionally, Soundwave concluded that machines should be the masters of the world, and humans would be an ideal slave force. Megatron decided that if Soundwave couldn't be a new body, he would be a new soldier.

He contacted Soundwave and convinced him to join the Decepticons, take control of the machines in [[Detroit]], and steal Sari's key. Soundwave promptly upgraded himself into a transforming body using controlled robots, and began his task. The revolution of the new robot overlords was, however, quickly opposed by the [[Autobot]]s. When Bulkhead came to rescue Sari, Soundwave appealed to Bulkhead to join the revolution, reminding him how Bulkhead had been passed by for Sari's new present. Bulkhead acted as if he was about to kill Sari...then used his wrecking ball to shatter Soundwave. The machines were restored to their normal operational status, and the day was saved.

Unknown to all others, however, Soundwave still functions as a small piece even after Bulkhead pummels him to scrap metal. {{storylink|Sound and Fury}}

:Soundwave transforms into a Scion xB that got a "Pimp My Ride" music style treatment. That's awesome. He also comes with his partner Laserbeak, who changes from a guitar to a bird. In Soundwave's car mode, Laserbeak can mount on the top of his roof.

==Trivia==
* The box he was in when given to Sari--as well as his "remaining" core after Bulkhead first defeated him--are obvious references to the [[alternate mode]] of [[Soundwave (G1)|Generation 1 Soundwave]].

* In the cartoon show, his eyes are seen to be both "Decepticon" red and "original toy" yellow, so that everyone is happy.

Why is he in the supervillains category? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 23:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
:He is clearly a Decepticon. >=(
::No, way, he's definitely a Predacon. You just can trust mustaches like that... [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 00:42, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Maybe he IS Moustache Man! D: -[[User:Hepathos|Hepathos]] 20:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
: Dr. Eggman's long lost cousin, perhaps? Or something more...wow, we really ARE desperate for new info on this guy. [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 22:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
:: I think you mean ROBOTNIk.
::: No, I mean Eggman. He was always known as Eggman in Japan; the name Robotnik, as well as the belief that the games took place on "Mobius", was the result of American localization. Kind of like the whole "Optimus Prime vs. Convoy" scenario, except actually fixed by making one name universal...but we're getting off topic. [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 04:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
::::I THINK YOU MEAN ROBOTNIK. >=(
:::::...and you didn't read a word I just said. Thumbs-up. (-_-')[[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 20:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::: I believe he ''thinks'' you mean ''Robotnik.'' --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 20:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
::::Obnoxious anonymous point: BOTH names are equally valid before and after the fix. Sonic was developed on both shores, and actually came out in the US first (by all of 3 days...). Also, unless they've fixed it more.. it was Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. So. Everybody more or less wins. Kinda like the millions of equally canon G1s. [[User:76.28.159.16|76.28.159.16]]

Personally, I think he looks like Captain Stottlemeyer [http://www.buddytv.com/articles/monk/images/ted-levine-2.jpg from Monk]. --[[User:Criminallyinane|Criminallyinane]] 15:40, 9 February 2008 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

Dark Awakening (episode)

'''Optimus Prime is revived as a zombie by Quintessons.'''

==Detailed synopsis==

[[Image:OptimusMatrixAwakening.jpg|thumb|left|150px|No, keep all MacGuffins away!]]
On the run from [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]], [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Kup]], [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]] take refuge on board the mausoleum ship containing many of their deceased comrades. These include [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], [[Huffer]], and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. While exploring by himself, Daniel is stuck in a dark room with robot corpses and gets appropriately creeped out. When he finds the others he swears he has seen Optimus Prime alive. To satisfy his curiosity and against the opinions of the other Autobots, Rodimus opens Prime's tomb only to find it empty.

However, they cannot investigate further because the Decepticons have followed them inside and attack them. The fierce battle that follows appears lost for the Autobots when suddenly they are saved by none other than Optimus Prime. Freaked, the Decepticons retreat.

The Autobots are amazed and confused at his presence. Optimus can give them no explanation to his apparent resurrection, just the typical near-death experience of seeing darkness and then a light at the end of the tunnel.

Rodimus Prime eagerly (too eagerly) returns the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to him, despite Prime's bizarre behavior and damaged appearance, and against the advice of Kup and Ultra Magnus. Without the Matrix inside him, Rodimus reverts to Hot Rod and declares, "Let's party!" Optimus evidently has other plans and attacks the Autobots and sets the auto-destruct sequence to the mausoleum ship. He then departs and leaves the others stranded.

After returning to Cybertron, Optimus informs the [[Autobot]]s that Rodimus and the others were killed by the Quintessons. This puts everyone in a pretty bad mood ([[Springer]] swears vengeance while [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] spends at least a minute stomping and thumping his tail). Optimus re-assumes command and orders an all-out attack on a supposed Quintesson base. The Autobots obey without question or explanation (loyal bunch, aren't they?) and the entire Autobot fleet heads into battle. The Dinobots stay behind to "guard the base."

Hot Rod and his group manage to escape and return to Cybertron, only to find that most of the Autobots have left to attack the Quintessons. They pursue the fleet in their own ship, but their frantic calls to stop the attack are dismissed by Optimus as Quintesson tricks.

Hot Rod and the others finally manage to board the lead ship and the former Rodimus goes "Optimus hunting" after his his zombified mentor. When the two meet, Optimus starts to pound on Hot Rod, but as he's kicking Hot Rod's tailpipe he begs Hot Rod to defeat him.

It is finally revealed that the Quintessons stole Optimus Prime's corpse and reanimated it with their own evil programming to lead all Autobots into a trap. Optimus is nothing more than a "mindless zombie." However, since the Matrix of Leadership is inside him, Prime's true, heroic self is overriding the Quintesson evil.

Hot Rod is physically overcome by Prime, but the Matrix finally reverts the evil programming and Optimus returns it to Hot Rod's chest cavity. Prime then takes control of the ship, and orders the Autobot fleet away from the Quintesson trap.

The irreparable Optimus' last act is to pilot the Autobot flagship into the trigger zone of the Quintesson trap. With a massive explosion, the solar system is destroyed. As Kup bids his old friend farewell, Magnus remarks that it be his memorial. Rodimus doubts he'll be the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] that Optimus Prime was, but vows to try. And thus, the tears of Daniel Witwicky and many other thousands of young boys flowed all over again.

However, [[Victor Caroli|a voice]] asks if this is really the end of our beloved hero? The voice also mentions [[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1|a return]].

"Decepticons! Leave this place... or die!"
:-- The half-dead corpse of '''Optimus Prime''' confronts the Decepticons.

"Quintessons! ME GRIMLOCK THUMP QUINTESSONS FLAT INTO GROUND!"<br>

'''Sludge''': "...Maybe ''we'' dead."
:-- '''Arcee''' freaks out the Dinobots.

'''Kup''': "Where is everybody?"<br>
'''Sludge''': "All go smash Quintessons."<br>
'''Ultra Magnus''': "Quintessons? What do the Quintessons have to do with this?"<br>

==Other Notes==
* Notes

===Animation and/or technical glitches===
* When optimus is in controle of the flagship and orders the other autobots to return, he has his left arm again...and the hand colored wrong.

===Continuity errors===
* Shortly after Optimus Prime first awakens, Rodimus Prime states that Optimus has been dead "for years". Unless he means dog years, this is impossible, considering season 3 starts immediately after the 1986 movie. Also, Daniel is the same age he was when Optimus died. In actuality, Optimus probably hasn't been dead more than a few months. This works a little better in Japan, though, where the series takes place in 2010.

===Transformers references===
* References

===Real-world references===
* References

===Miscellaneous trivia===
* When Daniel lists the names of the Autobots killed in the shuttle ambush, Brawn (the first casualty of the movie) is mysterously absent, replaced instead by Huffer (whose death is unseen). Brawn and Huffer (miscolored) later reappeared in the episode [[Carnage in C Minor]] (This is usually dismissed as an animation error)
