Kaelin Middleton He was once part of Zeta Prime's council, but he left at the same time he took his vow of silence. After that, he became a gladiator in Kaon and fought Megatron to a draw.
VYNLT It wasn’t barely though,megatron simply said he was the closest gladiator to beating him,that doesn’t mean he barely won just that out of everyone he’s fought so far soundwave was by far the best.
Airachnid got one hit in: Soundwave's foot hit her head when she was down. Basic physics says everything hitting things is also hit at same time with equal force by thing they hit.
Leroy Tan A draw?!?! I heard that Megatron won but just barely and the fight was so even that Megatron felt simply LUCKY however yea Soundwave teamed with megatron and they became the first 2 decepticons
ForkKnife Virgin Playing a guitar isn’t a fighting style. Unlike animated this soundwave actually knows how to fight and was a gladiator who was the closest to beating megatron himself in the pits
What I like about Soundwave in Transformers Prime. If he's not proving that he is loyal to Megatron. He's showing compassion toward his companion laserbeak which shows he cares about his counterpart.
Check out Emperor Kumquat's video on here called 'Why Soundwave loves Laserbeak: The Forgotten Character', really delves into this and their relationship.
I like how they showed soundwave fight only two bots throughout the entire show just to keep that inner warrior more secretive but really wish we would have seen more of it. Seriously don’t know why soundwave wasn’t second in command cos he pretty much never failed megatron and never got in trouble
@@wrathsin7066Starscream once pushed in corner is horrifyingly competent and cunning. He infiltrated autobot HQ alone with plan of his own and succeeded almost perfectly: getting away unnoticed failed.
Soundwave: bite my shiny metal - **lazerbeak contacts Soundwave** Soundwave: Oh just wait there a sec my child needs me to help him complete a bit of homework.
"Parent" lol To be fair tho Lazerbeak is his last mini con and he did care about his other ones. He probably didnt kill Wheeljack for fear that Lazerbeak would die.
@@googleyoflolz9930 There's that but I also heard somewhere that if you pay attention to how he acts Soundwave is pretty non-lethal. He has a few opportunities throughout the show to directly kill some of the main cast but then chooses not to (him taking out bulkhead + smokescreen while kidnapping ratchet comes to mind, and you could argue he could've ordered Laserbeak to kill Optimus after he knocked him out during the bridge fight). The only time you ever see him attempt to use lethal force is when sending Airachnid and the Insecticons to one of Cybertrons moons, or when Optimus is about to destroy the omega lock (where it's revealed his tentacles apparently have blasters in them, seriously rewatch the scene where Optimus is charging at them), and both of those scenes hold some pretty good reason for him to use lethal force lol. So honestly my thinking was that he was just going to knock Wheeljack out so he couldn't pull any tricks when Soundwave tried to leave. (altho I think you're right in that yeah he didn't hesitate to bolt when he got the distress signal).
@@gameman7871 which is very strange for Soundwave. He's the kind of guy who isn't afraid to be violent in order to get what he needs to get done. On one hand you could argue that he simply didn't kill anyone because plot armour and Hasbro needed the characters to live so they could keep making episodes. On the other hand, however, maybe Soundwave is slightly misunderstood and would prefer to use logic and only use violence when necessary. It would make sense since he's seen both sides. He's seen what happens when you do not take action and waste your time trying to talk things out and avoid violence at all costs. (The Autobots would be the example here. While they are more peaceful we all know how their hesitance to use violence can hold them back and keep them from bringing proper justice) Soundwave has also seen (From The Council's corruption) what too much violence can cause. He's the perfect leader now that I think about it, and he even had the chance to lead the Decepticons but he decided to hand it over to Megatron. I think Soundwave chose Megatron specifically because Megatron is strong and smart. A little crazy and unpredictable at times, but with Soundwave advising him? It would be the perfect setup. So that would make Megatron a sort of puppet and Soundwave would have been the mastermind behind all of it! Sorry for the rant lol I just realized all this when you mentioned all that about Soundwave.
@@beatrizoliveira3871 I love Arcee, but none of her fights can compete with Wheeljack vs Soundwave or Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus vs Predaking. The Predaking fight is probably my favorite fight in show only rivaled by Megatron vs Optimus before they team up to go fight Unicron and the Star Saber vs Dark star saber fight
Yeah and no wonder Soundwave passed on the opportunity to kill Wheeljack. He knows mini cons arent thought of very highly and the autobots wouldnt be afraid to go as far as kill Lazerbeak. Lazerbeak is also Soundwave's last mini con and if he died Soundwave would be very sad.
1:48 visor cracks. Wheeljack:here I go again,shattering expections. Soundwave:so soon your body and spark. Yep the way he flinched staring at wheeljack is where he's done playing around.
Soundwave was using like 10 percent of his power - no super OP portals that can teleport into a volcano, no instant shock tentacles, no air superiority and no 5000 iq moments, I think he just wanted to fight for more that 10 seconds
I mean, the 5000 IQ moment was his battlefield awareness and letting Wheeljack drop his guard as he grabbed the Resonance Blaster, but yeah, Soundwave had plenty of options.
Soundwave is THE 2nd most badass con on the show. I think we can all agree on that. Besides if he had laserbeak then wheeljack would have been dead but he was lucky.
Justyn Thompson Yeah lazerbeak has soundwave's fighting skills coded in. You see when soundwave was a gladiator on cybertron he was the second best only to be beat by megatron wich is how they became their version of friends but there soundwave lost a fragment on his body wich had his fighting skills coded. Luckily lazerbeak has a copy of that so when soundwave has lazerbeak on his chest his a real beast!
Jess Except he didn’t let him win lmaooo where did you hear that nonsense?The book clearly says soundwave was the closet to beating him no where did it say he almost beat megatron or “letting him win”
Yup. Imagine him with all his minicons. He would be able to take down Optimus and Megatron. He is already smarter than both He has the ability use portals He is capable of downloading and uploading stuff He has sonic weapon that we've seen disoriented Optimus and others while Soundwave was tied up and captive He is more slender than both of them thus more agile and possibly faster He has his face covered which can be a great advantage. (For example here if he didn't have it, Wheeljack would've seen Soundwave has attention focused on the weapon) He has shown that he is better than them under pressure and can remain calm His tentacles even though seem weak are strong enough to lift Wheeljack and other stuff without struggle, so they can pack quite a punch And that is just himself. When he didn't have the portal thing or other stuff he was the closest to beat Megatron, and that was when he wasn't as skilled or experienced as he is now. Imagine what he could do if he had all his minicons. "Soundwave superior"
I feel when soundwave was aiming the blasted at him he repeats Wheeljack's line "any last words!" Then wheeljack looks incredibly scared like "oh shit I'm about to die." Then Soundwave repeats "ah silent type!" Then he goes after laser beak.
“Any last words” I could imagine that in Reaper (Overwatch)’s voice for Soundwave’s thoughts. I prefer the silent type the way it is, but if he were to speak then either use the voice of him when he mocked the Autobots with his signature line, or if they used another voice then they could use Reaper’s voice with the TFP Effect
very few forget that Soundwave is one of the few cons who can fight Megatron on even ground he was a gladiator like Megatron and during their fight Megatron barely beat him this is the power of soundwave he is used to fighting bots of all kinds
@@Omargaming-eu3ej because Megatron would want his second in command to be with him all the time and he never took Shockwave to earth with him. He stayed back on Cybertron to rebuild Cybertron and kill any remaining Autobots
Starscream is 2nd in command. Despite his flaws and ambition he does know how to manage variety of characters around and keep some semblance of order. Soundwave is very competent observer and operative, but lacks leadership and management skills.
2:18 you can see the glass of his visor here and the panel of screen underneath it, hinting that his visor is 3D animated the entire time even when you would never notice. Neat
I would say Soundwave is more powerful than Megatron and Optimus Prime. Firstly,he has the power of using portals,eventually sends someone into a far place immediately. Secondly,he has 4 arms. Thirdly,He has laserbeak,who is powerful enough to fight Optimus Prime(sometimes even beaten him). Fourthly,he has excellent flight skills.Able to fight Optimus in season 3 and non-defeated. Lastly,he is the smartest. So,I would say if Soundwave was a traitor like Starscream,Megatron would be one screaming for mercy. And if Soundwave is used more often as a fighter and fights along with Megatron,the deceptions could have won easily. Weakness:Another Portal
Joshua chan He’s definitely NOT more powerful but he’s the closest to their levels like skyquake and shockwave are. All those attributes you listed still didn’t help him beat megatron in the pits of kaon back on cybertron when he was a gladiator along with losing to optimus during the war when the autobots went to save sentinel prime. Laser beak never fought optimus,soundwave sectrely deployed him to get on his back and it’s not like optimus could take care of him when soundwave was firing at him. It took both of them to distract then attack optimus not as if it was a straight up fight. Soundwave never fought optimus in prime except for the time optimus shot him out of the sky without any effort and knocking soundwave out completely He’s not the smartest either,that title goes to shockwave who’s a much better fighter than him also seeing as in the comics it took both optimus and megatron working together to beat shockwave after he overthrew megatron(if there’s any decepticon more dangerous it’s shockwave seeing as how he ruled cybertron for eons when he took over)Soundwave is tech savvy but anything outside of that he’s not that great unlike shockwave who’s incredibly intelligent in all fields Name one time megatron ever “screamed for mercy” even when the odds were stacked against him even in the face of unicron himself. I think you’re sucking soundwave off WAY too much there. Soundwave did fight by megatron during the war yet that didn’t help them that much,you’re severely underestimating the autobots as well now too. There’s the aerialbots,the dinobots,ultra magnus,omega supreme,metroplex,ironhide and optimus prime himself that made soundwave stop fighting and focus more on communications in the first place He’s good but he’s great,especially when there are far more other decepticons that would best him like skyquake,shockwave,devestator and bruticus,menasor,trypticon,dreadwing and many many others like predaking himself. So again it just seems like you’re fanboying a little too much on him
@@LegendXD00 you just wrote a whole paragraph on why he's not a better decepticon which makes you much more of a fanboy. Oh and btw soundwave really did nearly beat megatron in the pits of kaon which makes him a much more capable decepticon.
Soundwave kicked Wheeljack's bum. He takes his sword, tosses it like the junk it is and lets himself get knocked right next to the resonator. While Wheeljack is gloating, Soundwave's is simply two steps ahead. I think we can say gladiators are tougher than wreckers and no gladiator is tougher than Soundwave. He let Meg tie him. lol And that results beat one-liners. Soundwave is waaay too much for Jackie and Bulkhead and Smokescreen and Bumblee and well you get the point. Just like in More Than Meets the Eye, he kicks 5 Autobots all over the place at once. He the man. Saying only the relic saved him is short sighted. He knew it fell, saw it and it was best tactically to use it. Maybe if the movies were based on the original three episodes, they'd be watchable. I couldn't get through the second one. Anyway, overconfident Wheeljack great wrecker, humiliated by Soundwave. Perhaps he should stick to Laserbeak. lol And thank Primus killing him wasn't part of Soundwave's mission profile.
And then he gets treated like a one episode character in Robots in Disguise That show was such a big let down and dissapointment i can't believe they made it a secuel to Prime
Optimus vs Megatron was the best fight in season 1 for me. But for Season 2 and 3 Wheeljack had the most coolest fights, him actually landing a blow on Soundwave and especially his team up with Ultra Magnus againts Predaking. TFP Wheeljack is a goat.
I like to think that bumblebee and soundwave are foils of each other because neither can speak in their own voice but I also have to consider that they never once fought and if they did bumblebee would get absolutely rocked
People. YoumKeep saying soundwave sucks but they don't remember that's he's a communication s officer not a fighter and for someone who doesn't fight often he was boss at using his surrounding s and his mind to beat wheeljack. Either way sound waves awesome =3
This fight speaks to the capabilities of 3 bots actually. Soundwave for not just being badass, but being smart enough to still come out on top despite getting his face cracked. Wheeljack for being the only bot we know of to nearly beat him, really he kinda did, but his confidence was his downfall in the end. And lastly, Hardshell. Wheeljack is good enough to nearly beat Soundwave. Yet Hardshell pretty much kicked his ass, and manhandled him like a ragdoll for half their fight. You could say that Wheeljack might have been kinda impared due to blind rage, but the fact still stands that he got his ass handed to him on a gold platter by that insecticon. This makes me wonder, would Hardshell have been able to beat Soundwave? Probably not, because it's probably a rock, paper, scissors type match up between these three.
That makes a lot of sense. Hardshell is very intelligent and experienced but is above all else a fighter or pure strength and power. Wheeljack is incredibly skilled and versatile while aslo fighting more dirty than most. Soundwave is super fast, agile, clever and haxed out. Soundwave is by far the strongest in my eyes but Wheeljack can get the edge over him thanks to his skill, ingenuity as well as having comparable combat speed. However Wheeljack can never beat Hardshell because he is just too durable and strong. Wheeljack landed dozens of blows on him but it did next to nothing and a single blow from Hardshell hit Wheeljack like a sledgehammer. Soundwave on the other hand could probably handle Hardshell pretty easily thanks to his speed, battle IQ and versatile hax that Hardhsell doesn't have any counter against.
Reminder that Soundwave was also once a gladiator and he was actually the former champion of the gladiator pits before Megatron challenged him. Starscream may be Megatron's second in command. But Soundwave is the one who controls everything from within the shadows. Even looking over Starscream's incompetence as a leader.
I noticed how soundwave dances around enemies or blocks til he finds an enemy, we usually fit soundwave witn some sort of noise or music in some variations, so i love this small nod at it, he dances around some of the attacks but isnt fast enough for wheeljacks fast paced brutal fighting style, but only when wheeljack used quick thinking, well played tfp
Bare this in mind: the many times that Soundwave has been in a fight, he hasn't lost a single 1v1 in this show. However Wheeljack was the only one to land a clean hit on him... And crack his visor.
I’m afraid I have to disagree. Soundwave would have just thrown him off. He chose to go for the blaster *because* Wheeljack’s gloating gave him the time to grab it. If Wheeljack started charging the blast immediately, Soundwave would grab him immediately.
@@shockie3963 I disagree, but I’m not trying to make an argument out of this. I’m merely pointing out that Soundwave had options remaining. We’re both TFP fans, let’s be civil.
At 2:18 you can see Soundwave's eye/face. Plus he turned his hand into a blade but never used it against Wheeljack....BOO! G1 Soundwave is the BEST Soundwave ever, but this one is ok.
I love Soundwaves design in this series. But dont forget wheeljack took a few blows from, and dealt his own to Predaking. Matter of fact wheeljack did send predaking flying at one point in their fight.
Does anyone know which theme music starts playing at 0:42? That motif plays in a lot of fights during different episodes but I couldn’t find it. It plays again at 2:05.
I love when bots forget that Soundwave was a gladiator too. He can more than hold his own
Andrea Sanchez Soundwave was a gladiator? I didn't know that...i thought he was a surveillance expert on cybertron

and immediately throws it towards him both as a distraction, and to discard it since he doesnt even need it to win.
Considering he was a gladiator along with megatron, yeah that makes sense. Dudes seen way better weapons

Yup.

He would be able to take down Optimus and Megatron.
He is already smarter than both
He has the ability use portals
He is capable of downloading and uploading stuff
He has sonic weapon that we've seen disoriented Optimus and others while Soundwave was tied up and captive
He is more slender than both of them thus more agile and possibly faster
He has his face covered which can be a great advantage. (For example here if he didn't have it, Wheeljack would've seen Soundwave has attention focused on the weapon)

Soundwave’s thoughts: soon so will your spirit.
HERES! BENDY! Sans would be proud
That's probably had he'd talk. Haha!
very few forget that Soundwave is one of the few cons who can fight Megatron on even ground he was a gladiator like Megatron
and during their fight Megatron barely beat him
this is the power of soundwave he is used to fighting bots of all kinds
Yeh also Soundwave was a member of the council. He knows A LOT
@@googleyoflolz9930So he has brains and brawn. Neat
2:10 How it feels to play Captain Falcon
Falco kick
1:27 animation error, there's a Laserbeak on Soundwave's chest
Szymon Wołodźko I just peeped that too
Kaelin Middleton lol!
Nah that's temporary buzzsaw
This is my favourite version of soundwave
not the visor man
hit him some place else
there is a reason why soundwave is megatron's right hand man where starscream is his left.
Why isn't shockwave his left hand man ?
@@Omargaming-eu3ej because Megatron would want his second in command to be with him all the time and he never took Shockwave to earth with him. He stayed back on Cybertron to rebuild Cybertron and kill any remaining Autobots
@@wishsuccess5995 Didn't Shockwave stay on Cybertron because everyone thought he was dead because of the explosion of the space bridge ?
@@Omargaming-eu3ej tbh bro I just looked that info up Bc I wondered why Megatron didn’t make Shockwave second in command also
Starscream is 2nd in command. Despite his flaws and ambition he does know how to manage variety of characters around and keep some semblance of order. Soundwave is very competent observer and operative, but lacks leadership and management skills.
Soundwave is the best decepticon in the series for obvious reasons.
2:18 you can see the glass of his visor here and the panel of screen underneath it, hinting that his visor is 3D animated the entire time even when you would never notice. Neat
For the sake of plot they made them fight or else soundwave would have ground bridged wheeljack just when he entered.
I like to think Soundwave was taking his time during this fight, just to test Wheeljack, or something like that
“Here I go again, shattering expectations.”
-🗿
Sound wave is slender man. Both don't talk. No no face. And can teleport
haha
MartialArts4321 and use tentacles
You mean the Groundbridge thing?
Soundwave can't teleport
And have tentacle like appendages.
3:13
Soundwave: (mimicking wheeljacks voice) any last words? *lazerbeak sends out cry for help* Laserbeak!
I would say Soundwave is more powerful than Megatron and Optimus Prime.
Firstly,he has the power of using portals,eventually sends someone into a far place immediately.
Secondly,he has 4 arms.
Thirdly,He has laserbeak,who is powerful enough to fight Optimus Prime(sometimes even beaten him).
Fourthly,he has excellent flight skills.Able to fight Optimus in season 3 and non-defeated.
Lastly,he is the smartest.
So,I would say if Soundwave was a traitor like Starscream,Megatron would be one screaming for mercy.
And if Soundwave is used more often as a fighter and fights along with Megatron,the deceptions could have won easily.
Weakness:Another Portal
Joshua chan He’s definitely NOT more powerful but he’s the closest to their levels like skyquake and shockwave are. All those attributes you listed still didn’t help him beat megatron in the pits of kaon back on cybertron when he was a gladiator along with losing to optimus during the war when the autobots went to save sentinel prime.
Laser beak never fought optimus,soundwave sectrely deployed him to get on his back and it’s not like optimus could take care of him when soundwave was firing at him. It took both of them to distract then attack optimus not as if it was a straight up fight.
Soundwave never fought optimus in prime except for the time optimus shot him out of the sky without any effort and knocking soundwave out completely
He’s not the smartest either,that title goes to shockwave who’s a much better fighter than him also seeing as in the comics it took both optimus and megatron working together to beat shockwave after he overthrew megatron(if there’s any decepticon more dangerous it’s shockwave seeing as how he ruled cybertron for eons when he took over)Soundwave is tech savvy but anything outside of that he’s not that great unlike shockwave who’s incredibly intelligent in all fields
Name one time megatron ever “screamed for mercy” even when the odds were stacked against him even in the face of unicron himself. I think you’re sucking soundwave off WAY too much there.
Soundwave did fight by megatron during the war yet that didn’t help them that much,you’re severely underestimating the autobots as well now too. There’s the aerialbots,the dinobots,ultra magnus,omega supreme,metroplex,ironhide and optimus prime himself that made soundwave stop fighting and focus more on communications in the first place
He’s good but he’s great,especially when there are far more other decepticons that would best him like skyquake,shockwave,devestator and bruticus,menasor,trypticon,dreadwing and many many others like predaking himself. So again it just seems like you’re fanboying a little too much on him
@@LegendXD00 don't include predaking bro.. He is far away
Reads commit, reads it again. Hahahahahaha. So your including the Marvel comics in this? Can I bring up Black Convoy?
@@LegendXD00 you just wrote a whole paragraph on why he's not a better decepticon which makes you much more of a fanboy. Oh and btw soundwave really did nearly beat megatron in the pits of kaon which makes him a much more capable decepticon.
@@blueferno2271 ummm ok?You clearly misunderstood what I said and tbh idrc anymore so go off
Probably THE best episode of S2
And no doubt 1 of if not the best fights in the show period
If it wasn't for the plot, Soundwave probably could have won the war right then and there by Groundbridging the Autobots into a volcano.
Did you see hardshell
He does worse to Airachnid, but that feat has future caveat: moon of Cybertron is location nobody should ever visit. Period.
Soundwave Is My Favorite Decepticon.
This is my favourite soundwave EVAH
Dil ke drtd
*THIS HOW IMAGINE A FIGHT BETWEEN MASTERCHIEF & DEATHSTROKE*
1:26 bro why did Soundwave not just throw him off the cliff lmfao, plot armor fr be hitting there, or better just went full Darth Sidious mode 💀
2:32 soundwave does realize he's pointing that at himself too, right?
Soundwave number one decepticon!
Love how much soundwave cares for lazerbeak
Willing to leave Wheeljack alive just to ensure his minicon’s safety
I like to think this is the only time Soundwave met his match, and it even wasn’t that much.
Soundwave kicked Wheeljack's bum. He takes his sword, tosses it like the junk it is and lets himself get knocked right next to the resonator. While Wheeljack is gloating, Soundwave's is simply two steps ahead. I think we can say gladiators are tougher than wreckers and no gladiator is tougher than Soundwave. He let Meg tie him. lol And that results beat one-liners. Soundwave is waaay too much for Jackie and Bulkhead and Smokescreen and Bumblee and well you get the point. Just like in More Than Meets the Eye, he kicks 5 Autobots all over the place at once. He the man. Saying only the relic saved him is short sighted. He knew it fell, saw it and it was best tactically to use it. Maybe if the movies were based on the original three episodes, they'd be watchable. I couldn't get through the second one. Anyway, overconfident Wheeljack great wrecker, humiliated by Soundwave. Perhaps he should stick to Laserbeak. lol And thank Primus killing him wasn't part of Soundwave's mission profile.
I bet he will come back like how darth maul did
And then he gets treated like a one episode character in Robots in Disguise
That show was such a big let down and dissapointment i can't believe they made it a secuel to Prime
Mherca98 let’s pretend that RID never existed
Ender Drone what’s RID? It doesn’t exist.
HardShell also kicked Wheeljack's bum! Omg he beat him half to death!~
Tho he was like, twice his size.
SoundWave's very smart & awesome
Soundwave: Alright time to d- OH FUCK LASERBEAK IM COMING!
I think soundwave is mad that they took laser beak
I can't watch most Soundwave scenes without thinking of that guys voiceover on Instagram.
"Dodge. Dodge. Block. Parry." 😂
Optimus vs Megatron was the best fight in season 1 for me. But for Season 2 and 3 Wheeljack had the most coolest fights, him actually landing a blow on Soundwave and especially his team up with Ultra Magnus againts Predaking. TFP Wheeljack is a goat.
You don't f*ck with Soundwave.
Soundwave is one of the strongest desepticon
Wheeljack being Leonardo
man could you imagine is soundwave was actually trying an attacked damn.
When you reach the Final Level.
People gotta remember that in the gladiator pits the only one to hear sound wave was megatron
If soundwave died early in the series then the war is as good as lost for megatron
Soundwave threw away wheeljeck's sword.
1:05 When I watched this episode for the first time, I thought Soundwave and Wheeljack were about to have a samurai-style sword fight. 🤭
I like to think that bumblebee and soundwave are foils of each other because neither can speak in their own voice but I also have to consider that they never once fought and if they did bumblebee would get absolutely rocked
1:48
Wheeljack: "Let me start my three-part apology by telling you what a beautiful bot you are"
1:07 YO BEEN TROLLED BY SOUNDWAVE. PROCEED TO BE BEATEN TO A PULP.
Is it weird im slightly attracted to a giant purple murder robot?
It's the same here, so you're all good imo HJHCFGVHJGV!!
On no girl (or boy) you're not alone! I find soundwave kinda hot!
Nice fight, I really liked TFP's version of Wheeljack.
I think this is the first time we see sound wave actually get hurt
I remember a scene where Soundwave saw wheeljack through his broken mask, looks like I imagined that. 😂😂
First one to ever shatter soundwave
And last
Wheeljack went from a scientist to a skillful warrior to a nerd😂😂😂
People. YoumKeep saying soundwave sucks but they don't remember that's he's a communication s officer not a fighter and for someone who doesn't fight often he was boss at using his surrounding s and his mind to beat wheeljack. Either way sound waves awesome =3
What so you mean not a fighter? He was a fucking gladiator almost best megatron on the arena
You are right, at the time I wrote this comment I was unaware of it his previous status with Megatron in the pits.
He came quite close to beating Meg's actually they tide in the arena at kaon so sound wave could beat wheel Jack he to me was toying with him
Yeah~ ^^
Man soundwave really had to backstab wheel jack
This fight speaks to the capabilities of 3 bots actually. Soundwave for not just being badass, but being smart enough to still come out on top despite getting his face cracked. Wheeljack for being the only bot we know of to nearly beat him, really he kinda did, but his confidence was his downfall in the end. And lastly, Hardshell. Wheeljack is good enough to nearly beat Soundwave. Yet Hardshell pretty much kicked his ass, and manhandled him like a ragdoll for half their fight. You could say that Wheeljack might have been kinda impared due to blind rage, but the fact still stands that he got his ass handed to him on a gold platter by that insecticon. This makes me wonder, would Hardshell have been able to beat Soundwave? Probably not, because it's probably a rock, paper, scissors type match up between these three.
That makes a lot of sense. Hardshell is very intelligent and experienced but is above all else a fighter or pure strength and power. Wheeljack is incredibly skilled and versatile while aslo fighting more dirty than most. Soundwave is super fast, agile, clever and haxed out. Soundwave is by far the strongest in my eyes but Wheeljack can get the edge over him thanks to his skill, ingenuity as well as having comparable combat speed. However Wheeljack can never beat Hardshell because he is just too durable and strong. Wheeljack landed dozens of blows on him but it did next to nothing and a single blow from Hardshell hit Wheeljack like a sledgehammer. Soundwave on the other hand could probably handle Hardshell pretty easily thanks to his speed, battle IQ and versatile hax that Hardhsell doesn't have any counter against.
Reminder that Soundwave was also once a gladiator and he was actually the former champion of the gladiator pits before Megatron challenged him. Starscream may be Megatron's second in command.
But Soundwave is the one who controls everything from within the shadows. Even looking over Starscream's incompetence as a leader.
soundwaves majestic ahh spins
Soundwave ♥♥
I noticed how soundwave dances around enemies or blocks til he finds an enemy, we usually fit soundwave witn some sort of noise or music in some variations, so i love this small nod at it, he dances around some of the attacks but isnt fast enough for wheeljacks fast paced brutal fighting style, but only when wheeljack used quick thinking, well played tfp
Bare this in mind: the many times that Soundwave has been in a fight, he hasn't lost a single 1v1 in this show.
However Wheeljack was the only one to land a clean hit on him... And crack his visor.
soundwave is boss
xd SNU1T Soundwave superior
Wheeljack could have actually killed Soundwave and deprived Megatron of his greatest trooper if he didn't waste time with the silent type joke.
I’m afraid I have to disagree. Soundwave would have just thrown him off. He chose to go for the blaster *because* Wheeljack’s gloating gave him the time to grab it. If Wheeljack started charging the blast immediately, Soundwave would grab him immediately.
@@CasualNickname oh stop wheeljack won and would’ve killed him
@@shockie3963 I disagree, but I’m not trying to make an argument out of this. I’m merely pointing out that Soundwave had options remaining. We’re both TFP fans, let’s be civil.
Omg wheeljack absolutely owned soundwave
I guess getting Soundwave to actually fight is enough to own it. Rest was Wheeljack being turned to scrap.
1:52 this shocked me
At 2:18 you can see Soundwave's eye/face. Plus he turned his hand into a blade but never used it against Wheeljack....BOO! G1 Soundwave is the BEST Soundwave ever, but this one is ok.
2:33
SW: THIS QUIET OFFENDS SLAANESH!
The closest anyone came to killing this Soundwave...before RiD anyway.
Soundwave threw away wheeljeck's sword.
I love Soundwaves design in this series. But dont forget wheeljack took a few blows from, and dealt his own to Predaking. Matter of fact wheeljack did send predaking flying at one point in their fight.
Does anyone know which theme music starts playing at 0:42? That motif plays in a lot of fights during different episodes but I couldn’t find it. It plays again at 2:05.

Late comment
Soundwave didnt even need to use that device, weve seen he can use the tendrils to lift wheeljack so it was just to end the fight
0:36 samurai showdown
