Never edited anything, so I'll just make a note and let a pro do it - Sideswipe's Generations toy isn't a new mold, it's an extensive retool of Jazz.
- Ungenesis

:[http://www.collecticon.org/collecticon_wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/transformers-fall-of-cybertron-jazz-sideswipe.jpg Comparison between the two], for the record. [[Special:Contributions/98.236.35.25|98.236.35.25]]
::This would seem to skirt the line between "major retool" and "different molds using the same engineering". --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 13:42, 14 May 2012 (EDT)
:::It's no more extensive than Wheeljack/Tracks, really. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:01, 14 May 2012 (EDT)

Has anyone else had the shoulder pegs break right out of the freaking package? I think that the plastic used might be too soft, which would be a relevant point on the figure description. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 13:27, 26 January 2013 (EST)

== Profile Pic ==
Since we previously used the cartoon appearances for ''Prime'' characters like [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] as their profile pictures, I'm going to go ahead and put Sideswipe's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] appearance as his profile picture. --[[User:DeathbotTheGreat|DeathbotTheGreat]] ([[User talk:DeathbotTheGreat|talk]]) 12:26, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

but it would better if you used a bigger picture with better resolution.[[User:Hyruk|Hyruk]] ([[User talk:Hyruk|talk]]) 16:29, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

:I agree but I'm not very good at finding good quality images and uploading them so someone else will need to get a better picture.

== Earth mode ==

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a main pic of Sideswipe in his Earth robot mode since that's how he appears for most of the series?[[User:Transfan 1992|Transfan 1992]] ([[User talk:Transfan 1992|talk]]) 14:07, 28 May 2015 (EDT)

== Warrior Class Figure ==

There is another Japanese Adventures release with Stepper in the TAV VS04 set. The only different seems to be that the TAV VS04 Sideswipe has chrome flakes in his red paint and plastic. I can't be sure though as I don't have the regular Adventures release. Can anyone verify this? If not then maybe just add the TAV VS04 and that he came with Stepper. --[[User:helli0n|helli0n]] 21:56, 18 November 2015 (PST)

== Observation ==

Just an observation, it feels like this guy is made to replace Dreadwing, as he follows Megatron with blind devotion, cares deeply for his brethren and Megatron is keeping seecrets about there demise from him.

== Voyager toy observances. ==

So, being polite (I didn't want to directly edit the page and add stuff without, you know, putting it here first) and having the toy in hand...

*He has a LOT of rubbery plastic that likes to deform (Some in the box, the beastmode head on mine is warped and I have no idea how it's supposed to look 'normally'). Presumably the Takara release will have hard plastic?
*His rocket launchers have a gear-mesh system that allows you to plug them together and fire them at the same time... But this function doesn't work in beastmode, the plugs on his shoulders are too wide to allow the gears to mesh. Which is somewhat perplexing as this presumably would be the entire point of the gear-mesh system?
*Finally, his tail-sword is a neat idea, but doesn't really work, his hands (Being rubbery plastic) don't have enough friction or room for the tabs to hold the sword functionally like in the promo pictures. It tends to just flop out of his hand if you place it there.

On that note, the Promo-picture is miss transformed in robot mode, he should have a black spike erected on either shoulder.

On a more childish/awesome note, with his rocket launchers on his arms, he looks like he has dragon-headed fists, complete with fireball punches.

--[[User:Slift|Slift]] 21:53, 3 April 2013 (EDT)

: It seems that, like many figures that use soft plastic, HOW soft the plastic is varies by case and even parts. My Predaking has fairly solid but flexible plastic on his head, and almost Play-Doh for hands. It takes a clear packaging band to hold it in place properly. QC got a little lax on this one. --[[User:King Starscream|King Starscream]] 16:08, 19 April 2013 (EDT)

== Triple Changer? ==

Ok, we all know that Soundwave can transform into a Spy Rig-class Cybertronian truck, right? Well, right before his boss fight against Optimus and his team, he is briefly seen in the form of a Cybertronian device similar to a tapedeck, much like his original G1 counterpart's Earth mode. Does this mean he's a Triple Changer or is that just an interface mode like when you use the mounted turrets? --[[User:Cydra|Cydra]] 21:19, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

==Cybertron Adventures==

Soundwave discovers that the Autobots have infiltrated the Datacore. Megatron sends him and Barricade to take care of the intrusion. The two speed out, and Soundwave must navigate a highway overgrown with Dark Energon crystals while dealing with swarms of Aerialbots before they can shut off access to the Datacore. An Autobot Destroyer blocks Soundwave's path and brings the roof down, forcing him to take an alternate route. he makes his way to a security station and downloads the information on the Autobots' advance, radioing Barricade to meet him at the assigned coordinates. When Soundwave arrives, though, he finds Barricade in the middle of a shooting gallery. The Autobots are soon joined by an aerial Destroyer, but the pair make short work of it. Soundwave intercepts a data download but cuts it off quickly, and races to intercept the escaping Autobots. Weaving his way through Dark Energon crystals and moving walls (huh?), he reaches the intercept point in time, causing Ironhide and Bumblebee to skid out of control... and right into a fusion blast from Megatron.
This is here because I cant figure out how to put this on the page-- [[<noinclude>User:</noinclude>Kuptrion]]

Doesn't WFC Soundwave have an RPM figure and a Stealth Force figure? --[[User:Spongezilla|Spongezilla]] 4 August 2010 (EDT)

:::I'd say the Stealth Force figure is the movie guy, even though he has the WFC robot mode and the Animated vehicle mode. His bio talks about how he used to be a satellite and how he's just come down to Earth for the first time. That points to movie continuity to me. (Meanwhile, Stealth Force Silverstreak and Hound are clearly the G1 guys.) ((This should probably go on the Stealth Force page.)) --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:48, 5 August 2010 (EDT)

Could we not consider Starscream and Knock Out's exchane in Sick Mind for Soundwave's main quote? It fits with Soundwave's role as... well, the eyes and ears of the Decepticons, as the spy.

"That blasted Soundwave sees and hears everything."
"The eyes and ears of the Decepticons." {{unsigned|72.190.7.46}}

It's "reining in", you guys. You ''rein in'' a horse. Reigning is something a monarch does.

==Shockwave (DOTM)==

Soundwave (Prime) is silent, he doesn't show any signs of sentience when someones talks to him, except moving his head to say no or yes, he just stands and watches.
He's apparently dangerous : Airachnid seems to have given the autobots the hell of a run in previous episodes, and he owned her.
Shockwave in the movie : the same. ( well apparently in prequel comics he kills and kills and kills. )
Should we point the similarity in the Notes ? Is it on purpose that two of the most popular characters EVER bear similarities or is it a coincidence ? [[User:SnipinScientist|SnipinScientist]]
:Well... no. "Soundwave doesn't speak, just like Shockwave in the Dark Of The Moon movie" is really not a noteworthy thing. There's lots of Transformers who don't speak. That doesn't make them identical/homages/noteworthingly similar. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 07:32, 18 February 2012 (EST)

== Noticed on the deluxe toy ==

The paint apps on the nose of the vehicle mode look an awful lot like eyes, and the heels of the robot mode feet hinge just under it like a beak. In a sense, his vehicle mode seems to be at least a visual homage to Laserbeak, since Prime Laserbeak looks more like a bat than anything. Worth noting in trivia? --[[Special:Contributions/72.215.154.250|72.215.154.250]] 16:38, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
