Fiction

Prime cartoon

It's actually playing dubstep.

The Resonance Blaster was created by Decepticon scientists. At some point, the Autobots got their hands on it, and it ended up being stored in the Iacon Vaults. When the Decepticons attacked Iacon, it was launched into space and eventually ended up on Earth. Operation Bumblebee, Part 1 Its landing coordinates were recorded in the Iacon database and years later decrypted by the Nemesis during a moment of consciousness. Flying Mind The Decepticons dispatched Soundwave to find it, and the Autobots sent Ratchet and Wheeljack. Soundwave, distracting the Autobots with Laserbeak, managed to find the relic first, and used it on Wheeljack during the subsequent fight. It dealt with the Autobot well enough that Soundwave was able to collect Laserbeak and take the weapon back to the Nemesis, where Megatron was pleased with his work. Triage

Knock Out borrowed the weapon so he could go an fetch an Omega Key. It proved its worth as he took out both Arcee and Bumblebee easily with it before making off with the key. He returned it to Soundwave, who then used it to capture Smokescreen. Hard Knocks

Notes

• In the Robots in Disguise episode "Portals", Soundwave utilizes a weapon that uses the same model as the Resonance Blaster. It fires lasers instead of sonic waves, so it seems unlikely to have been intended to be the same weapon.
