Honestly, IDW Soundwave is my favorite because by the end of the series, he,Thundercracker, and Megatron are the only decepticons who actually want peace, and he allies with Optimus and the humans to attain that peace.
@@TheGodOfFictionas far as I know of, he didn't really care about the decepticon cause, nor peace. He just wanted to be king of cybertron. Now that might change as I have only read the IDW Phases 2 and 3 hardback collections completely( my library doesn't have any of phase 1) and as such missed the last several issues of the series. But at least in Phases 2 and 3, starscream chose leadership over his fellow decepticons, and then committed murder and framed several bots just to keep his position.
I honestly think if Soundwave somehow became a prime after stealing the matrix, that would make for a very interesting and somewhat intense story for him. Mainly because the matrix, at least in the aligned continuity, was something Megatron thought he deserved himself. So to see that his most loyal decepticon is worthy and might have goodness in him after all would surely send him over the edge some kinda way, all while Soundwave slowly but surely realizes his mistake joining the Cons and works to end the war
The answer is Megatron kept forgetting to do the laundry when it was his turn and thus soundwave allowed starscream to chuck him into space out of spite.
On the part of Soundwave fighting for Decepticon leadership, I heard somewhere that he trying to get leadership so he could make Astrotrain go back for Megatron.
4:03 - I'm aware of a theory that Soundwave had willfully blinded himself (notice that his eyes aren't red like they normally are, only for that scene) because he didn't _want_ to see Megatron get thrown out of Astrotrain, because his loyalty to Megatron was conflicting with his desire for self-preservation.
Even then I heard that in older scripts of the movie Soundwave only took part in the brawl for leadership so he could force Astrotrain to go back and rescue Megatron. Bruh truly was loyal to the end.
@@henrypaleveda7760 Shockwave Prime: A tranical Protector of Cyberton its self... even the Autobots and Decepticons.... there will be Peace with Shockwave Prime... but it would be a tyrants peace.
My favorite interpretations are the ones where he's particularly concerned with minicon rights. It makes him so much of a better character to see that his use of the cassette bots is in order to forge a place for them in the world.
I like how soundwave can be seen as the most sympathetic of megatron’s inner circle. Megatron’s a fascist, warmongering dictator, who has attempted genocide in a few continuities, Starscream is typically a Traitorous backstabber who will do anything for power, Shockwave is completely amoral, and has a mountain’s worth of unethical experiments to his name. Soundwave is comparatively far less horrible
@@EcstaticCoffee To be fair, Soundwave has the advantage where he's very clearly and often showing his single dad skills by raising his cassettes. Optimus, while a nice guy, is never shown doing much minicon, child, or pet rearing so he was doomed from the start.
@@joshuakim5240 The people long for a caring, loving, single father, if he played that up for the masses the decepticons would have taken over earth ages ago.
@@adrianrandom3448 Megatron: "We need to sway the masses of Cybertron and Earth to our side! Quick, brainstorm some ideas!" Starscream: "Display our greatness and superiority!" Megatron: "Literally already doing that. Punching you later. Next!" Shockwave: "Cull all who oppose us and turn their corpses into lobotomized slaves." Megatron: "...put a bookmark on that idea somewhere for later, but we're not doing that now. Next!" Soundwave: "Create a series of propaganda videos featuring us possessing greater moral values than the Autobots. Recommendation based on most popular human trends: caring for animals or animal-like lifeforms." Megatron: *glances at Ravage* "I think I have an idea..." *1 year later* Optimus: "...I can't believe we got kicked out of Earth because of a bunch of fucking Tiktok shorts about Soundwave petting his cassettes and crying about us hurting them." Ratchet: "To be fair, that is technically what does happen. It's just that the further context of those little things being killing machines trying to kill us is removed."
The way I see it soundwave is a decepticon but more follows his ideals than blindly fallowing orders He follows because of the cause not out of blind servitude
I subscribe to this idea too. The other headcanon I have is that he loves Megatron. Not romantically, but perhaps an echo of how Orion Pax saw him. While Orion Pax would come to see him as the enemy, Soundwave may not have ever let go even though he doesn't always agree morally with Megatron's leadership. Thus his loyalty is truly out of unconditional love, but it's been twisted into a toxic dedication to Megatron by the war, perhaps manipulation by Megatron himself, probably trauma, exhaustion, depression, and perhaps a level of apathy where all that matters is that loyalty that defines him. These days I tend to see Shockwave as the one who's so precisely morally grey and coldly logically dedicated to his own goals.
I’ve always preferred it when the animal cassettes are sentient, it adds more depth to Soundwave that he’s a genuinely good leader and friend to all of them, to the point where they mourn him when he dies. It gives Soundwave a hint of compassion and sympathy, a hint that maybe he’s more than the stoic loyalist he seems to be.
25:44 Considering some of the things I've seen being done by Soundwave's lil bots, that's a very weird sight, but also wholesome at the same time to lmao
People talk about IDW Megatron's redemption arc being great but IDW Soundwave's was just awesome. I like how he's unapologetically still a proud Decepticon when he's fighting on the side of good
Will always love how Black Arachnid is shown to be practically unstoppable against the Autobots only for Soundwave to beat her down in less than a minute, then just walks off and gets back to work :D
My mom sent me this new video today. She said it was from “that little red man who lives inside his own mind and talks about transformers”. Bless her heart. Great video by the way.
In parts of the script of the original Transformers movie that didn't make the final cut due to time and monetary constraints, Soundwave is very much opposed to tossing Megatron out of Astrotrain, but his cry is ignored by the others as the majority agree to throw out the injured Decepticons. Soundwave would then have staked his claim at Decepticon leadership immediately afterward for the express purpose of turning Astrotrain around and going back for Megatron. He loses the ensuing brawl to Starscream, and the rest is history.
Soundwave was my favorite character from Transformers Prime as well as my favorite version of the character. He was a fladiator that rivaled Megatron in the pits. He "fought" Arcee using ONLY a ground brisge. He beat the brakes off of Airachnid. He once hunted down Ratchet and Wheeljack for Lazerbeak, and I remember them thinking he could kill them. And because he didn't speak in the show, him saying "Soudeave superior, Autobots inferior" was the coolest thing that happened. And when he returned in RID (2015), it was understandable why Bumblebee lost his mind.
Guy 1: "Jesus Christ did that guy just jump? " Guy 2: "Does he have a parachute?" That one friend we all have/need: "No he's like Master Chief, no fall damage."
When Hot Rod turned into Rodimus Prime, he went from another sports car to a semi truck. Following the same logic, if Soundwave got the Matrix of Leadership, would he become Sonicus Prime and turn into one of those backpacks that for some bizarre reason have a Bluetooth speaker? It fits the theme. The name becomes stupid and the alt mode gets more cargo space.
Shockwave and Soundwave are my two favorites across the multiple shows, but I've never read the comics, so it was really cool to see how my two favorites feel about each other in different continuities.
Awesome video! Soundwave has always been my favorite decepticon maybe even transformer in general but it would be nice to see a video about all the other sound based transformers like soundwave and blaster
Tbf the clip where Soundwave threw a guy up in the air at the baseball field that really wasnt Starscream. It was Skywarp but they accidentally painted him like starscream. A moment before that you could see skywarp n Soundwave said, "Skywarp, think fast", then thru the dude
Love the video but I got really confused when you accidentally called Ravage “Rampage” 😂 thought I had missed some part of the story there for a hot second
Soundwave in Cyberverse dancing to music and playing background music is my vibe and he cares about his entourage of Microcons. Favorite deception hands down.
My fave TF UA-camr is MrNormalPerson. I like Chris McFeely too but really enjoy watching and rewatching MNP's vids because it's the humor and depth of the research.
I watched Tf one and have been trying to get into transformers and I got hooked on Soundwave. It’s kinda weird hearing how much Soundwave and Shockwave seem to hate each other in so many continuities because they seemed to be close in TF one. They gave off a sort of “Do not separate them” vibe to me cause they’re together in every scene they’re in This video also solidified how much I like him, he’s just incredibly loyal and genuinely wants equality
17:30 i doubt it is the same timeline but ratbat being the spark of a former senator would explain the time in marvel tf that everyone listen to a castie bat for leadership
Seems people forgot that pretty much throughout all canons, he plays both sides to his advantage. The first example of this is when he tries to take power over the Decepticons in the first movie after voting to throw out Megatron. Also, I love that in Prime Soundwave could only be dealt with by banishing him to the shadow realm.
In the UK Target 2006 storyline, The Devil You Know, The Autobots rescue/revive Megatron and Soundwave to lead them in the battle against the overpowered Galvatron.
He's always been my favorite Transformer., but I've had any of his toys. I collect and record cassettes now as an adult and really want a working tape deck version of him. Soundwave Superior.
26:03 earth wars mentioned let’s goooooooooooooooooooooo Also by the way a good majority of your upcoming vid on the times autobots and decepticons worked together is earth wars
Actually, according to the writers and the script for the movie, soundwave fought for leadership so he would order Astrotrain to go back to save Megatron and would give back leadership to Megatron
It was stated by the writers of the 86 movie that if Soundwave won the Battle Royale he would have ordered Astrotrain to turn around and pick up Megatron
Soundwave really had an Arkham Knight Poison Ivy Death villain turned ally turned sacrificial lamb to overcome an enemy more powerful than either of them alone
The only thing that makes sense about Soundwave voting to have Megatron thrown from Astrotrain is an animation error. I can't believe I've never noticed that
3:24 hearing that made me go "ooooooo" i actually want to see that anyway heres some fornn you animated optimus and animated sentinal, optimus and megatron (go figure) and animated rachet and animated lockdown
unfun fact that 14 yr old me found out while camping alone at night: kangaroos make a horrible demonic grunting sound. not very loud, but extraordinarily sinister. would not recommend
This was always something I wondered about in gen 1: was Soundwave second in command fo the Decepticons or Starscream? Because sometimes it seemed like either but also sometimes neither.
I'm going to assume that the Decepticon command structure was similar to He-Man's Evil Warriors, where there's a nominal second-in-command (presumably Starscream) but really any ambitious lackey can operate in that role as needed. That, and elevating Soundwave to #2 proper could have motivated Soundwave to be less loyal if he's just one assassination away from being in charge.
In many continiuties Starscream is second-in-command and Air-Force Commander. Soundwave is communication officer and seems to have a role of adjutant of Megatron. Soundwave usually extremely loyal to Megatron, they are even described as old friends from before the Great War from time to time.
I always tell my friends Soundwave is my favorite transformers character because while he is a bad guy, he’s not really a bad guy, he’s just loyal to the Decepticon cause and Megatron, while Starscream may have the title of Megatrons right hand man that’s just because Megatron wants to keep a close eye on him, Soundwave is Megatrons real right hand man.
Any combiner team leader with the matrix, doesn’t become a prime themselves, but when they combine become a ‘combiner prime’ like Bruticus prime or superion prime

I always tell my friends Soundwave is my favorite transformers character because while he is a bad guy, he’s not really a bad guy, he’s just loyal to the Decepticon cause and Megatron, while Starscream may have the title of Megatrons right hand man that’s just because Megatron wants to keep a close eye on him, Soundwave is Megatrons real right hand man.
naturally i love optimus prime, i have always been afraid of shockwave, but soundwave has a special place in my heart.
There should be a Soundwave comic where he fights with the Park Rangers in Africa against ivory poachers
Ah Soundwave, my favorite transformer. I remember begging my mother to buy me his toy.
Any combiner team leader with the matrix, doesn’t become a prime themselves, but when they combine become a ‘combiner prime’ like Bruticus prime or superion prime
Man I love Sound Wave I picked up his helmet to wear the second I saw it.
Preeeetty sure he comitted MANY atrocities.
