| 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: Prime continuity family.
Soundwave was one of Megatron's earliest followers and, many believe, instrumental to his rise. He is a master spy, using surveillance equipment and a veritable army of Minicon minions (some of which nest inside his own body) to learn everything there is to know about his allies and his enemies. He makes it his business to know exactly what is happening, where, and when and his Minicons inevitably help to turn this information to the advantage of Megatron... and Soundwave himself.

Soundwave took control of the orbital station Starscream was posted at, helping Megatron to reach the Dark Energon. He was at Megatron's side with Breakdown as they led the assault on Iacon and took the Omega Key from Zeta Prime. However, it turned out the Key was merely a signalling device for Omega Supreme, the true opener of the Omega Gate to Cybertron's core. Soundwave helped Megatron evade and overwhelm Omega.
After Cybertron had been infected, Soundwave was posted as head of Kaon's prison, and watched over Zeta's body. Optimus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Air Raid led an Autobot breakout and battled Soundwave's minions Frenzy, Rumble and Laserbeak. Soundwave himself sustained heavy damage leaving his post to revive and retrieve each minicon. Eventually, defeated and critically damaged, Soundwave desperately attempted to restore himself by absorbing life force from Zeta's very own spark. His attempt to fully heal was halted by Optimus, who even took a shot from the Decepticon intended to finish off Prime. Although as Soundwave and his minions fled, the damage had already been done and Zeta Prime expired moments later. Transformers: War for Cybertron
