'''Soundwave''' is a brooder, like his fellow Mutants, with a tendency towards the dramatic. He has ultra-sensitive internal radar, and his tail can send seismic shock waves through the ground.
==Fiction==
===''Universe: Featuring the Wreckers''===

Soundwave and the other three Mutants were discarded offspring of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s experiments. Despite their "tortured existence", they were given a mission from the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] itself: Travel to the [[Outer Orion Cluster]], where they would find a way to restore their true forms and heal their fractured [[Spark|sparks]]. {{storylink|Departure}}
Arriving at [[New Quintessa|their destination]], Soundwave was increasingly cynical about the nature of their mission. His pessimism seemed justified, as he and the other Mutants were herded into a [[Quintesson]] courtroom and sentenced to death, despite their pleas. Though it appeared that all four were devoured by [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]], {{storylink|Betrayal}} only Soundwave and [[Razor Claw]] met their gruesome end. [[Poison Bite]] and [[Icebird]] survived, revealing the Mutants' role as avatars of [[Primus]] as the remaining two extinguished the lives of their would-be executors. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}
Soundwave was one of the many [[protoform]]s from the remaining ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' [[Stasis pod|stasis pods]] to be reactivated by [[Razorbeast]]. He and his fellow Mutants took up residence in a swamp. When a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] scouting party intruded on their home, the Mutants defended their home vigorously—in the course of the slaughter, Soundwave bit [[Powerpinch]]'s leg off. {{storylink|The Gathering issue 3|The Gathering #3}}

==Toys==
===Beast Wars===
* '''Soundwave''' (Mutant, 2000)
: Soundwave is a [[deluxe]]-sized toy and can transform between bat and alligator forms. He has a panel on the chest of his bat mode that can be lifted to reveal mechanical parts. His robot face can be revealed within the bat's mouth by pressing a spine on the back of the bat head.
: His alligator mode has Reed Richards' arms and looks damned strange.
Toys:
: This mold was to be used to make [[Leatherhide]], but that toy was ultimately canceled.

==Notes==
Alternate mode here is a van,
* The four Mutants were originally developed as toys for the ''[[Animorphs]]'' line. But with that line's cancellation, the molds were [[retool]]ed to replace the human parts with robotic bits, as well as change the Animorphs logo with the new "Mutant" [[faction symbol]].
* Early pictures of Soundwave showed him with green plastic rather than brown, presumably on the whole "alligator=green" thing... leading to not only a damn strange-looking bat mode, but some color redundancy with Razor Claw.
* Although this redundancy may have been preferrable to the inevitable [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|Gold Plastic Syndrome]] instead.
* Soundwave´s beast modes reflect [[Optimus Primal]]'s and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s beast mode from their original toy. Whether this was an intentional reference to the beginning of the [[Beast Wars (toyline)|''Beast Wars'' line]], or merely a coincidence is unknown.
* It is implied that ''this'' Soundwave is the same as his [[Soundwave (G1)|G1 namesake]] in the [[Beast Wars Sourcebook]] published by [[IDW]]. But then, considering how many errors are in the dang thing, feel free to take this factoid with a grain of salt.
