	* In ''War for Cybertron'', Soundwave transforms into a Cybertronian truck during gameplay, and his toy does the same, having only one [[alternate mode]]. However, the game also features a Cybertronian boombox mode, seen during a cutscene and the credits (in addition to a commercial for the Shockwave pre-order bonus), which the toy can approximate with some fiddling.

	Soundwave discovered that the Autobots had infiltrated the Datacore. Megatron sent him and Barricade to take care of the intrusion. The two sped out, navigating a highway overgrown with Dark Energon crystals while dealing with swarms of Aerialbots before they could shut off access to the Datacore. An Autobot Destroyer blocked Soundwave's path and brought the roof down, forcing him to take an alternate route. He made his way to a security station and downloaded the information on the Autobots' advance, radioing Barricade to meet him at the assigned coordinates. When Soundwave arrived, though, he found Barricade in the middle of a shooting gallery. The Autobots were soon joined by an aerial Destroyer, but the pair made short work of it. Soundwave intercepted a data download but cut it off quickly, racing to intercept the escaping Autobots. Weaving his way through Dark Energon crystals and moving walls, he reached the intercept point in time, causing Ironhide and Bumblebee to skid out of control... and right into a fusion blast from Megatron. {{storylink\|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}		Soundwave discovered that the Autobots had infiltrated the Datacore.

	Soundwave hacked into the Autobot mainframe and, while Megatron and some other Decepticons kept the Autobots distracted, downloaded intel indicating the location of the Trypticon space station. As they approached the station in Megatron's ship, Soundwave reported that the inhabitants were taking up defensive positions and docking would not be possible. Though Megatron was confident they could ram the station, Soundwave turned out to be right, and they could only get close enough to drop a small team off on the debris surrounding the station. When the station was conquered and Dark Energon in Megatron's hands, Soundwave suggested it might be a good idea to test the stuff prior to use. It turned out to be unstable, and he warned it could result in destruction of its host. The Decepticons set up Kaon Prison as a testing ground and, after eleven failures, established that the Dark Energon could be used. When Barricade asked what happened to the failures, Soundwave would only say that their remains laid in the prison and creepily ask Barricade to get in the chair so he too could be infused with Dark Energon.

	Soundwave was a gladiator from [[Kaon (polity)\|Kaon]] who almost bested [[Megatron (WFC)\|Megatron]] in combat, an act that created mutual respect between the two. Soundwave saw in Megatron a desire to return to the swashbuckling spirit of the [[Golden Age]] of Cybertron, when Cybertronians emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] having to escape from the [[Underworld]]'s monsters rather than being put into a [[Functionism\|caste]]. He was appointed Megatron's lieutenant with [[Shockwave (WFC)\|Shockwave]]. Though Megatron despised Minicons, Soundwave insisted on having them around to spy on their gladiators, including the time when Megatron's librarian friend [[Optimus Prime (WFC)\|Orion Pax]] came to visit. He was suspicious of Orion and even asked permission from Megatron to tail him as he returned to [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]].

	After [[Decepticon]]s bombed Cybertron in Megatron's name, Soundwave sent [[Frenzy (WFC)\|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (WFC)\|Rumble]] to search for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in [[Crystal City]] (a place which design he always found self-indulgent). Soundwave was not sure whether he should have bothered, as he was not superstitious and wondered what use a piece of a [[Star Saber (~~Prima~~)\|broken sword]] could be.

	When [[Silas\|Cylas]] came to the Decepticons with the offer of a [[Project Damocles]] satellite, Soundwave was sent to a military base in [[Colorado]] to get the codes so they could control the satellite from the ''Nemesis''.

	With new information about where the Autobots' human friends lived, Soundwave had Laserbeak patrol the area around [[Jasper]]. {{storylink\|Hard Knocks}} Soundwave succeeded in decoding another set of coordinates, and Megatron sent him with a decoy Iacon relic to draw the Autobots off.

	When [[Silas\|Cylas]] came to the Decepticons with the offer of a [[Project Damocles]] satellite, Soundwave was sent to a military base in [[Colorado]] to get the codes so they could control the satellite from the ''Nemesis''. He hacked into the computer, giving him the ability to use the satellite even as he was downloading the codes for it, but failed to stop Raf from knocking the satellite out of orbit. He retreated as the Autobots reached his position. {{storylink\|The Human Factor}}		When [[Silas\|Cylas]] came to the Decepticons with the offer of a [[Project Damocles]] satellite, Soundwave was sent to a military base in [[Colorado]] to get the codes so they could control the satellite from the ''Nemesis''.

	With new information about where the Autobots' human friends lived, Soundwave had Laserbeak patrol the area around [[Jasper]]. {{storylink\|Hard Knocks}} Soundwave succeeded in decoding another set of coordinates, and Megatron sent him with a decoy Iacon relic to draw the Autobots off. While he managed to keep Optimus Prime's team occupied for a lengthy period of time, it was not long enough, and by the time he returned to the ''Nemesis'', Optimus had gotten hold of the [[Star Saber (~~Prima~~)\|Star Saber]]. {{storylink\|Legacy (episode)\|Legacy}} Continuing his work, Soundwave decoded more coordinates and reported them to Megatron while the latter forged the [[Dark Star Saber]]. {{storylink\|Alpha/Omega}}		With new information about where the Autobots' human friends lived, Soundwave had Laserbeak patrol the area around [[Jasper]]. {{storylink\|Hard Knocks}} Soundwave succeeded in decoding another set of coordinates, and Megatron sent him with a decoy Iacon relic to draw the Autobots off.

	When Megatron returned from victory, he told Soundwave, in great detail, how he had destroyed the Star Saber with his own blade. He soon had two more sets of coordinates downloaded, resulting in Knock Out securing an [[Omega Key]]. When the final set decoded into an image of [[Smokescreen (Prime)\|Smokescreen]], Soundwave joined Laserbeak in the field to capture the Autobot rookie. {{storylink\|Hard Knocks}} He was on hand to show the image he'd decoded to Smokescreen. {{storylink\|Inside Job}}		When Megatron returned from victory, he told Soundwave, in great detail, how he had destroyed the Star Saber with his own blade.

	When the new Decepticon space bridge was nearing completion, Soundwave supplied a diagram of the last component they needed.
