Soundblaster is a Planet X Decepticon from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Soundblaster wears the badge of the Decepticons, but his allegiance is to Planet X and its goals. He serenades his victims with music before destroying them. He is partnered with the bird-bot Hell Buzzsaw.
(Note: Soundblaster's status as a separate character from Soundwave is debatable, as there is no official biographical information on him whatsoever at this time, only a quote on his box. However, his being a new character can be extrapolated from Takara's naming conventions; in the overwhelming majority of cases, recurring toy-characters only undergo a name change upon receiving a new bodyform, while same-mold redecos typically -but not always- only receive a modifier on top of their old name. The only known exceptions to this pattern in twenty years of Japanese Transformers are Twincast and Soundblaster from Headmasters in Generation 1 (who were actually retooled from the orignal versions), Landbullet/Armbullet (who was also retooled from the original version) from Galaxy Force (Japanese version of Cybertron) and Master Megatron from Galaxy Force, who became Master Galvatron despite his upgrade being only a redeco of his previous toy.)

- Soundblaster is a redeco of the Cybertron Soundwave toy, transforming into a Cybertronic stealth bomber. He comes with three hexagonal prism "bombs"; one converts into his partner Hell Buzzsaw, the other two unfold into non-firing blaster weapons. Any one of these "bombs" can be stored in his robot-mode chest, which opens by plugging a Cyber Planet Key into him. The other two store in indents on the underside of his wings. He comes with a silver-bordered Planet X style Cyber Planet Key.
- He was only available as an exclusive to Takara's "Toys Dream Project" series.
