Fiction
Wings Universe
Via his forestonite-based power, Sizzle had a vision of the future: three shadowy figures standing over the broken bodies of Optimus Prime and Galvatron. Soundwave was one of these figures. A Flash Forward, Part 6
This vision soon came to pass as the Machine Wars commenced. The clone of Soundwave appeared among Jhiaxus's Cybertronian army in occupied Iacon. He joined Megaplex in confronting the Autobots forces outside the city-state. Termination Later, he got bit in the forearm by Gatoraider, then got shot in the head by Krok. So it goes. A Common Foe

Toys
Machine Wars
- Soundwave (Mega, 1997)
- Accessories: Giant missile, radar dish
- Originally a KB Toys exclusive, Soundwave is a redeco of the Predator Stalker, transforming into a grey and burgundy tracked ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile) carrier of probably made-up model. His ICBM can mount on either shoulder or his back in robot mode, and retains Stalker's Megavisor gimmick; a panel on the top slides open to reveal a port for the smaller Predator jets to attach to, allowing their Megavisor slides to be viewed through the "scope" of the missile. Stalker's own unique built-in slide, however, was removed for the Soundwave version of the figure. Also missing from this version of the toy are Stalker's hand-held missile launcher and accompanying ammunition, due to safety concerns over their small size.
- This mold was also used to make the Universe 2003 incarnation of Soundwave.
Universe (2003)
- Soundwave & Space Case (Ultra, 2004)
- Accessories: Giant missile, radar
- The Machine Wars version of Soundwave was redecoed in blue and yellow for release in the Universe line. Sold in an Ultra-level two-pack with Space Case, it retains basically all the same neutered gimmicks from the previous release of the mold.
- Due to the lack of fiction for either toy in the set, it is possible that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, some incarnation of that OTHER Soundwave, or possibly even a new character altogether.
Notes
- This Soundwave is not the first clone of Soundwave in the Wings continuity. And their "birth" dates are only about 1 year apart, too!
