Soundwave, Decepticon Communications

Soundwave is one of Megatron's most reliable troops, and has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably amongst Megatron's upper command structure. He stands at the Decepticon leader's side, his confidant. Soundwave guards his place in the hierarchy fiercely. Though loyal to Megatron, the other Decepticons see him as a two-faced snake. As Communications Officer, Soundwave sees and hears all, and will not hesitate to use blackmail to keep himself held high in Megatron's esteem. Bluntly, the other Decepticons hate him, and wouldn't mind abandoning him on the battlefield -- if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.

Soundwave commands a legion of cassette troops to carry out tasks big and small.

Generation One Animated Continuity

Voice Actor: Frank Welker (US), x (Japan)

Completely loyal to Megatron, to point of being a "brown-noser". In the Movie, it was Soundwave who struggled to take their fallen leader off the battlefield.

In Headmasters, Soundwave and Blaster killed each other in a brutal battle to the death. Soundwave's remains were retrieved by his cassette minions, and he was resurrected as Soundblaster.

Marvel Comics Continuity

In the Marvel Comics, Soundwave is slightly truer to his tech specs, and somewhat less loyal to Megatron, at one point working for both Shockwave and Megatron simultaneously when the two were at loggerheads over the leadership, and later becoming joint Decepticon leader with Starscream in the Earthforce strips.

Dreamwave Continuity

Devil's Due G.I.Joe vs. Transformers
