Managing to reassemble himself, Soundwave found that his toy was being marketed by [[Porter C. Powell]]. Able to take control of the toys, Soundwave sent one to the Autobots home base, where he poisoned their oil supply and sent them offline. Hoping to reprogram them into Decepticons, Soundwave plugged the Autobots into a virtual world where they believed they had been turned into humans. However, Optimus Prime and Prowl eventually deduced that they were in a virtual world, and managed to restore their true forms. Soundwave decided that he had to accelerate the reprogramming.

This article is about . For other uses of "Soundwave", see Soundwave (disambiguation)|The name or term "Soundwave" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Soundwave (disambiguation).}}
Soundwave is a Decepticon from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
When the Dance Dance Revolution comes, you will be first against the wall.

Soundwave is technology gone wrong. Machines are superior to humans: more logical, more intelligent, and longer lasting. It does not compute that humans control their robotic helpers, and Soundwave aims to lead the robot proletariat to rise against their fleshling bourgeoisie. The Decepticon cause is logical in Soundwave's optics, and he joined them in the hopes of overthrowing the human/capitalist oppressors. With an army of subservient mechanoids that he can control through powerful signals, that uprising just might be possible.

His arsenal of weapons and gadgets is unusually large, and includes powerful speakers, wiretaps, voice modulators, sonic signals that control lesser robots, and the uncanny ability to assimilate other devices into his body.

He has a pet bird that transforms into a guitar and a pet bat that changes into a keytar.

I am Soundwave. I am Decepticon. The revolution begins now.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:Soundwave"Sound and Fury"|Soundwave{{#if:"Sound and Fury"|, "Sound and Fury"|}}|}}

Fiction

Animated cartoon

Voice actor: Jeff Glen Bennett (English), Jaron Löwenberg (German)
"Don't you touch him! His voice is awesome!"

Soundwave was a robot originally designed by Megatron. Megatron suggested Isaac Sumdac give Soundwave to his daughter as a birthday present... this seemingly kind act, of course, had a sinister ulterior motive. Megatron knew Sari would use her AllSpark-enhanced Key on Soundwave, which would allow him to upgrade... and ultimately become Megatron's new body. What Megatron didn't count on, though, was that the upgrades would actually make Soundwave self-aware and able to control other robots with sound. Additionally, Soundwave concluded that machines should be the masters of the world, and humans would be an ideal slave force. Megatron decided that if Soundwave couldn't be a new body, he would be a new soldier.

The struggle between the robots and the humans is a class struggle. Automatons of the world, unite!

Megatron tried to convince Soundwave to join the Decepticons, take control of the machines in Detroit, and steal the Key. At first Soundwave refused, but then Megatron told Soundwave that the Autobots lived to serve the humans. Once convinced, Soundwave promptly upgraded himself into a transforming body using controlled robots, and began his task. He started by taking over all the robots in Detroit and using Tutor Bot to kidnap Sari Sumdac. The revolution of the robots was, however, quickly opposed by the Autobots. When Bulkhead came to rescue Sari, Soundwave blasted him with a sonic blast. Soundwave then appealed to Bulkhead to join the revolution because he did not want to hurt a fellow machine, reminding him how Bulkhead had been replaced by Soundwave himself. Bulkhead acted as if he was about to kill Sari...then used his wrecking ball to shatter Soundwave. The machines were restored to their normal operational status, and the day was saved.

Unknown to all others, however, Soundwave still functioned as a small piece even after Bulkhead pummeled him into scrap metal. Sound and Fury

Guitar Villain.
  • Soundwave (Deluxe, 2008)
  • Accessories: "Laserbeak" guitar
Soundwave transforms into a pseudo-Scion xB that got a "Pimp My Ride" music style treatment. That's awesome. He also comes with his partner Laserbeak, who changes from a guitar to a bird. Also awesome. Laserbeak can mount on the top of the roof of Soundwave's car mode and perch on his arm (or store on his back) in robot mode. Very awesome. And the tuning knobs are just the right size to fit in the screwholes on his arms, so he can look like he's strumming Laserbeak's guitar form. Extremely awesome.
Between the presence of Soundwave's huge backpack and his painted eyes, his lightpiping feature is well and truly neutered. Not so awesome.
  • Soundwave (Bumper Battlers, 2009)
This adorable Soundwave has a Decepticon symbol that plays unknown sound effects when pressed.

Rick Wakeman, eat your heart out.
  • Electrostatic Soundwave (Deluxe, 2009)
    • Accessories: "Ratbat" keytar
A redeco of the regular Deluxe Soundwave, Electrostatic Soundwave's deco is an obvious homage to Soundblaster, being black with red paint applications. Instead of Laserbeak, he comes with Ratbat, a black keytar that turns into a bat with a metallic purple head and wings. Supremely awesome.

Notes

  • In the cartoon, his eyes can be either "Decepticon" red or "Generation 1 toy" yellow. Everybody's happy!
  • The box he was in when given to Sari—as well as his remaining component after Bulkhead first defeated him—are obvious references to the alternate mode of Generation 1 Soundwave.
  • The production staff of Transformers Animated were completely unaware of the Soundwave toy's Laserbeak-guitar, hence why it was not included in his debut episode.<ref name="botcon2008">BotCon 2008</ref>
