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
Starscream reported to Soundwave that the Slugfest and Overkill were missing. Soundwave checked the security tapes, but found only minor glitches. The two Dinocons were soon discovered, having transformed into octaltrack data cartridges.
When boarding the Nemesis, Cliffjumper assigned Soundwave to the comm. Soundwave brought with him his usual compliment of tapes as well as the newcomers Slugfest and Overkill.
Soundwave manned the comm throughout the clash with the Arc. He volunteered to stay and help Starscream guide the damaged Nemesis down to Earth, but Cliffjumper insisted that Soundwave seek the safety an escape pod, because he would need to communicate with Cybertron about their situation. Do Over
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. His vehicle mode has a Cold Slither design on the side.
- If regular Soundwave is evil yet loyal, does that make mirror Soundwave good but devious? Oy...
Toys
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.
