The Laguna De Guatavita in Central Columbia..... A mysterious place.... home to.... a DIVING PROJECT!!! A team of divers,the mysterious Tanto Gang, are setting up an explosive charge underwater, with their boss Kubikiri talks with a mysterious partner called "Mr Wave". Who could that be?. As the charge is detonated, a city of gold is revealed: the legendary El Dorado. Mr Wave asks about a package he asked them to secure. They complain about its weight, which is revealed to be... Soundwave himself, bursting out of the container and ready to kill! (Well, exposite)
While Soundwave boasts that the Tanto Gang were just a means to an end and their contract is now "terminated", an undercoverWilliam Lennox informs his colleague "Silver Lining" that the intel Bumblebee had given him (somehow...) was correct, and Soundwave was there! As Soundwave blows up the oil rig and kills the divers, Lennox tries to kick Soundwave's ass but to no avail. The Tanto Gang are left scattered, with an angry Kubikiri ordering his men to fight back because he ain't sharing the gold with an alien!
Meanwhile, Ratchet and Optimus plunge from a NEST carrier plane down onto the ground, with Ratchet complaining about not getting parachutes. As Optimus kicks Soundwave's ass (and succeeds!), Lennox has commandeered a tank and is helped by Ratchet in removing the Tanto's from the game, destroying their weapons still packed in crates. (See what happens when you leave things to the last moment) Optimus continues to duke it out with Soundwave but the battle is evenly matched, and Soundwave even manages to exposite through the pain: after locating El Dorado, he decided to get the humans to help him get it so he could flood the market with gold and crash every stock market with hyperinflation!
Optimus and Soundwave plunge into the lake and continue to kick ass. But Kubikiri asks about the second Zipa Warheadon the lake bottom, and activates it. Soundwave just happens to be on the wrong side of it and is blown right out the sky. Optimus lands on the coast and is informed the Tanto Gang have vanished. Ratchet complains about having "No Soundwave, no prisoners.... A priceless Earth Artefact obliterated!" but Optimus reassures him that a little is worth a lot in gold!
Quotes
"If you have any final words, now's the time to share!"
"Actually... yes I do! Why does that device say 'activation complete'?"
"No one double-crosses the Tanto Gang."
-:Optimus and Soundwave find themselves next to Kubikiri's up-yours gesture
Items of note
- For readers in 2011, Soundwave's plan to crash the global economy is far more sinister than all this guff about conquering planets and blowing stuff up...
- Lennox says that Bumblebee told him about about Soundwave being in Central Columbia but we don't know how. We assume he just pointed to a map because the individual words "Soundwave is hiding out in The Laguna De Guatavita in Central Columbia" are pretty rare.
- It isn't said what part of continuity in DOTM this is in. Considering Soundwave had his head demolished we can assume it's a prequel but, surviving as a head is not uncommon among the 'Cons.
