*Though last seen in the custody of the Decepticons in "Hard Knocks", the Resonance Blaster was never seen again after that episode, and Smokescreen doesn't mention it being present in the vault of the ''Nemesis'' during ''[[Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising]]'', leaving its fate unknown. When Soundwave reappeared in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]'', his arm cannon looked identical to the Resonance Blaster. And since Soundwave was never depicted having an arm cannon in ''Prime'', it could very well have ''been'' the Resonance Blaster, though it fired standard laser blasts instead of sonic bursts. It is possible, since Soundwave being trapped in the Shadowzone for several years severely weakened him, that his weapon may have also been drained of power by the time he was freed, ''or'' the weapon could just simply have multiple settings.
*In the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]'' episode "[[Portals]]", [[Soundwave (WFC)|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.

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

[edit]
  • 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.
