Soundwave is a paragon of stealth, and while the Talon Grapple Cannon looks like it would be more appropriate for an Autobot, Soundwave puts it to deadly use. The grapple claw is able to snare and instantly disable Soundwave's victims, and much like his tentacles, the Grapple Cannon is able to extend data filaments that draw information from its targets. After getting what he needs, Soundwave uses the grapple claw to simply crush his subject, with strength few structures can resist.
