Soundwave (KOU)
| The name or term "Soundwave" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Soundwave (disambiguation). |
- Soundwave is an rocker from the Knights of Unicron continuity family.
More level-headed than his fellow Knights of Unicron, Soundwave is said to be the glue that holds the band together... when they actually ARE together, that is. He manages the double duty of being both the Knights' back-up vocalist and their music arranger. With keen audio-receptors and a talent for squeezing out the most metal-ness from the band's music, Soundwave is always ready to blow off the roof of whatever venue the Knights of Unicron are performing in!
Fiction
Behind the Music
Soundwave was once a member of "Bumblebee and the Hive" until their lead singer shredded his audio box, and it became necessary to scope out new talent to replace him. A demo tape from a lowly record clerk overloaded the band's collective circuits, and Optimus Prime was brought onboard the now rechristened "Knights of Unicron." Years of processor shredding musical mayhem ensued, until petty infighting drove the band apart.
Soundwave eventually took on two prodigies, Ratbat and Rumble, and oversaw their growth into a pop duo. By 2014, Soundwave had moved on to acting as a judge on the hit show "Cybertron's Got Talent". At least until the call to reunite with the other Knights heeded him to take the stage once again. The ensuing reunion tour was sure to be nothing short of awesome. Behind the Music

Soundwave and the rest of the band welcomed Smooth Jazz into their ranks after the young 'bot proved himself in a series of grueling auditions. What ensued was years of face-melting rock 'n roll! Unfortunately, despite Soundwave's best efforts, the band eventually split up due to Optimus Prime and Megatron's continuous petty infighting. Soundwave was left to pick up the pieces in the wake of the band breaking up. Knights of Unicron
