Soundwave is a clone of the original Soundwave, fashioned by Jhiaxus from stolen memory components and pilfered Nebulan science scientists.

Fiction

Wings Universe

Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

Jhiaxus, seeking to create a new unified faction of Transformers, "borrowed" personality components, forestonite, Hi-Q, and blueprints from Quantum Laboratories. One of his creations was a clone of Soundwave.

A redeco of the Go-Bot Gearhead, Soundwave transforms into a NASCAR-style Ford Thunderbird stock car with precision wheels and wire axles, compatible with "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" playsets and tracks (which he was properly sized to fit). His exceptionally loud color scheme, being composed of bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue, is one of the few times fans can actually get away with describing a toy as "neon".

Soundwave was one of only three Go-Bots released in Japan by Takara, on a normal Hasbro card with stickers over key parts to add Japanese text to the mix. The other two releases, Optimus Prime and Megatron, were not too heavily altered, aside from the addition of Soundwave's distinctive large "T" hood deco to their own bonnets, but Soundwave himself was significantly altered: while his car shell remains fluorescent yellow, his internal parts are the same as the opaque version of his predecessor, Gearhead.

This mold was also used to make various versions of Robots in Disguise W.A.R.S. and the Universe incarnation of Camshaft. It was planned to be used to make Generation 2 Greasepit, but that toy was canceled.

Notes

• With the absence of any fiction relating to Soundwave's Go-Bot toy, it had been assumed for nearly 20 years that it was a toy of the original Soundwave. And that was an absolutely correct assumption until that toy got fiction cementing it as a distinct character in 2012.
