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 heroic Decepticon from the "Shattered Glass" universe.

Poor Soundwave; even in a mirror universe he's still in Megatron's shadow.

Soundwave is a righteous dude! He brings the good vibrations to Megatron's fight against the totally heinous Autobots! He is sometimes known as Monstroso, the Robot Horror from Beyond.

Fiction

Shattered Glass

As the Decepticons followed Starscream's plan to disable the Ark's launching platform, Soundwave was among the ground forces that followed Starscream, Divebomb and Whisper's initial assault. Later in the battle he was seen assisting the injured Slugslinger. Shattered Glass

Dungeons & Dinobots Do Over

Street Fighter superior!

Before the Nemesis crash-landed on Earth, Soundwave escaped into an escape pod, but went into stasis lock when it landed. Heatwave found him at a scenic spot named Wyatt's Roadsideaganza, and reactivated the escape pod's systems and the on-board scanner, which scanned a vehicle nearby for Soundwave and reactivated him. Soundwave tore a flag from a nearby pole and used it as his hachimaki, then detonated the stasis pod as the pair of them set out to find their fallen comrades. The Desert Heat!

Notes

• Soundwave was not explicitly named in his initial comic appearance.

• Soundwave's Earth form is based on Universe Classics Ironhide's toy with a more Soundwavey head.

• If regular Soundwave is evil yet loyal, does that make mirror Soundwave good but devious? Oy...

"So what? I'm a different character now? When did this happen?"

The "Sonic White" MP3 Player version of Soundwave was repurposed to represent Shattered Glass Soundwave's Cybertron form and is therefore an almost perfect likeness of him, the only notable differences being the colour of his silver Decepticon insignia and red eyes.
