The SOUNDWAVE Appreciation thread!

[Golgo-13]

O.K since Soundwave is the only 'confirmed' new bot we're getting in TF2, i wanted to make a thread dedicated to him.

Plus he's probable the most anticipated.

Also since there isn't a whole lot going on around here as far as info is concerned, i wanted to know what CLASSIC Soundwave lines you'd like to hear in the movie.

"Eject! Eject! Eject!"

"Soundwave superior. Constructicons inferior."

"As you command Megatron"


Also i would love to hear Megatron say "Soundwave, play back Laserbeaks findings."

[DOG LIPS]

Can't wait to hear Soundwave's voice. I won't hold my breath for Welker or a great design, but I'm more open minded after the first film so we'll see. :soundwave:

[Venom]

Next to Optimus Prime, Soundwave is the only other transformer, whose face I hope doesn't change much from his G1 design. It even looks like they designed the decepticon logo based off his face.

[Raiden]

Soundwave is one of the best Decepticons ever, and I hope TF2 will do him justice. His alt mode better be badass.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Soundwave is awesome, cant wait to see him and hear his voice on the big-screen.

Just want to hear him say "As you command Megatron!" at least once. And want to see him in a bad-ass fight as well.

[shadowdog]

I hope they use something similar to this design as opposed to the Black Pickup model we've seen, I think this is much truer to the origional

[Avangarde]

It may be truer to the original, but he doesn't look like a Bay Decepticon, he looks more like an Autobot.

[Venom]

Timshinn's soundwave ftw

[Silver Knight]

Hope we get a pic soon..

[the dmg]

These are certainly interesting takes on Soundwave.

[brb]

It may be truer to the original, but he doesn't look like a Bay Decepticon, he looks more like an Autobot.

I always thought it was cool how Soundwave looked like a "Dark" Autobot. Bulky, boxy, rectangular, but with a 100% Decepticon face.

How about a Sonic Tank like the Stark sonic tank from Hulk?

[SymbioteKal-El]

If anything Soundwave should be a communications vehicle, the name suggests it all and it would make more sense in this world than a huge stereoplayer. Though I wouldnt mind the rumoured satellite alt mode either.

[Octoberist]

i woulnd't be surprised if they changed his designs; Bay is like that.

[Golgo-13]

I think it's pretty much a given that his design will be changed.

[Silver Knight]

I think it's pretty much a given that his design will be changed.
For better or worse? Time will only tell.

[Avangarde]

Someone on the live blog was trying to tell people that its Shockwave :huh:

[Golgo-13]

If these pics are Souundwave (and i'm pretty sure they are) ,i'm relatively happy with the design. It could be worse and the head look's like G1 Soundwave's. The toy looks decent, then i know the live action version will look alot better, as they typically are with Bay's TF's.

[FatA$$]

I dont know if its been mentioned. But, with Soundwave Being a Satellite he could easily be the one that picks up Prime's Message From the end of the first movie. Seems VERY logical. They Could easily start the movie with the message being intercepted. i wouldnt complain at all.

[ShadowBoxing]

Ha, his face is the Decepticon symbol.

[knowsbleed]

Yay, Transformers still look like bugs.

[Golgo-13]

He's decent. Let's face it, he could have been alot worst ie Starscream. I think if he has the traditional Soundwave voice he'll be badass................

[Octoberist]

yeah, Starscream still has the worse design. Moreso than Blackout, who had the best design out of the Decepticons in the first film.

[knowsbleed]

Look at you guys.

Golgo, "He's decent"

And Octoberist is comparing him to the "worse design"...

That's called settling for whatever they give you. I know we as fans really have no say in this process... but that doesn't mean I have to like it. So thanks but no thanks to settling for whatever they give me.

He's decent for a 'Bay-former' but by no means do i consider him a great design. G1 Soundwave will always be the definitive Soundwave to me.

[Avangarde]

Everything G1 is definitive.

[Jochimus]

Everything G1 is definitive.

I'd be more inclined to say everything Classics/Universe/Henkei, Titanium, or even Alternators/Masterpiece/Binaltech is definitive. G1 had far too many disparities in design for my liking, and that's just the toy line (without even getting into the cartoon/comic models).

[Avangarde]

Fine, just about everything other than Bayformers is definitive :grin:

[Jochimus]

Fine, just about everything other than Bayformers is definitive :grin:

Wow, even Animated? You're braver than I am. :woot:

[Avangarde]

I don't mind animated so much, sure the animation style isn't the best, but the homage to G1 and some of the plot lines are pretty decent.

[Soundwave88]

Now that is awesome!:applaud Soundwave approves :up: :up:

[Soulinertia]

Well thank you sir! :woot:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I must admit I wish he looked a bit more like the G1 Soundwave, at least the same colour as him, BUT, it seems to be a design that fits with the movie universe, so I actually like it.

[Raiden]

Although this is a Bay-former and I wish he'd look more like the old Soundwave, it's actually not that bad. However, I wish he won't look that much like Starscream because both have the similar Waspinator design.

[The Lizard]

I like the head, but that's where my like comes to an end. :dry:

[Golgo-13]

I'm starting to believe more and more, now, that he's a triple changer. That looks like a pretty obvious 'vehicle grill' on his chest.....

[claydogg]

I guess Bay still dosen't know if he wants to make soundwave a truck.

His problem is he always wants to make it real.

but anyways
I found this concept of a sound vehicle that's real.
but it would be cool if the made it the Flesh Burner like in this article.

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=6007823 (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=6007823)

[Timstuff]

This image seems to point towards the notion that Soundwave may be an alien satellite in his protoform, and a truck in his earth form.

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8056/soundwaveravagebz6.jpg

Personally, I wish that if they were going to turn Soundwave into a truck, they used a military vehicle like in the fan concepts. Still, he looks pretty bad ass, and I can pretty easily tell who he's supposed to be. I'm crossing my fingers that they bring back Frank Welker to do his voice! Soundwave's voice is iconic, so I really hope they don't mess with it.

[Golgo-13]

His alt mode looks like IronHide's. I hope this is not the case. :csad:

[Overman27pj]

http://www.overman.info/OverGifs/SoundWave.gif

[Venom]

Bob Orci said he won't be a truck, so hopefully Soundwave won't turn into that smaller Ironhide

[shigsy2003]

I know this may be going against Bay's Transformers but I really hope they have Soundwave completely emotionless like in the toon. Obviously two things contributed to that: his brilliant voice by the Legend and of course the fact that he didn't have a mouth. I will be pretty content with whatever vehicle they have him turn into (the more it has to do with communications the better) as long as he is his old emotionless yet determined self.

[claydogg]

yeah I agree I liked in the original how soundwave talked with his actions & eyes that mad him bad A$$!

[CaptainClown]

eh....I wanted this
http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x250/captain_ClownhaHa/2rqewyf.jpg(sigh)

[DoctorWhoCares]

The problem I have is that, apart from Optimus and Jazz, they didn't even try to incorporate the G1 designs into the new versions. I know they have to tech them up in this day and age but they made every other Transformer look like some generic pile of metal and none of them evoked their G1 counterparts.

[PyroChamber]

So will he have an earthform, or will he stay in Cybertron form?

[dark_b]

well we did have the ravage concept leak so maybe the soundwave is also real.

[Kahoot]

http://i15.tinypic.com/71rgyz4.jpg
That would've been so good, but the toys in Empire this month make me ask, what is he? Will he have the same voice from the cartoon?

[Casius--J]

I'm not a fan of this design for Soundwave but that toy is the protoform right?

I much prefer the design made by Jamie Egerton, that would look awesome on screen!

[dark_b]

i think hte toy is cibertronian satelite and robot protoform.

[The Caped Knight]

http://www.overman.info/OverGifs/SoundWave.gif

Ah the good old days

[chosen1]

Bay....

[DorkyFresh]

i gotta agree with knowsbleed when he gripes about Soundwave looking like an insect, but i still like his toy design. if they had gotten rid of those long things on his forearms he wouldn't look so much like an insect. not a fan of him being a jet (yawn) but at least his different modes look cool. his head is definitely the best part of his design. i'm sure it'll be much more intimidating and menacing when we see him fully rendered.

[the_ultimate_evil]

are we sure he gets an earth form, cause if he stays the way he is shown in the toy then, thats a crappy poor design

[Bayless]

not jet
satellite

[dark_b]

so was it confirmed that this is soundwave in the movie?

Is that satelitte image real?

[ironwez20]

so is he a truck or not

[BrollySupersj]

so is he a truck or not

I have dobuts on it, Soundwave is confirmed to be 6 feet taller than Longhaul, and he's freaking huge as it is. So, he's either gonna take a bigger Earth vehicle disguise, or just stay in his Protoform, afterall, Megatron does and that doesn't seem to slow him down.

[dark_b]

on transformers blog they are saying that this could be soundwave. hes face looks similar

[Drummerdude7]

that's blackout, not soundwave

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Anyone else worried that Soundwave isnt gonna be in this movie much?

Now that it has been confirmed that Soundwave is present at Megatron's resting place in order to bring him and back, but it is only one Decepticon who gives his spark for Megatron and that TF is loyal to Megatron in TF lore (not to mention in the trailer when Meg's is waking up only 3 Decepticons are present, when it is also shown that 4 go down there). Who else in TF lore is more loyal to Megatron than Soundwave? This has me seriously worried he is going to die early on and it would piss me off to no end, as it would many others i'm sure.

[gohei_]

That truck concept of Soundwave looks awful, I hope to god he doesn't look anything like that.

[Rock Sexton]

that's blackout, not soundwave

Nah. Blackout's head is centered in his chest.

I think that while that may be legit, I don't think they're using it since Robert Orci said back when it leaked that Soundwave wont be a pick-up truck.

The guy claiming to be a Dreamworks insider later expanded on his first post saying that Soundwave isn't the 'Con to give up his spark to revive Megatron. I think if there's any truth to this, my guess would be that Soundwave and the Constructicons have already the spark of some random grunt before heading down to the Abyss.

And I also share the concern about the size of Soundwave's role despite this guys claims.

[namtaB]

I'm liking the spoiler info about Soundwave and his relationship with Megatron. Should be good.

[Ladiesman217]

Hmm.. Soundwave commanding the Constructicons? I thought they didn't want to follow an uncharismatic boor like him? hehehe

There is however a pic that does look a LOT like Soundwave in the official pics thread i think, it resembles his toy counterpart anyway.

[CaptainClown]

god I hate these designs so much.

[Avangarde]

Hmm, not sure if it is Blackout, take a look at the parts that surround his head, they look nothing like the parts, or lack of, that are around this unknown Cons head.

They seem to be hiding any pics of Soundwave taken directly from the movie fairly well.....i'm starting to think he gets nothing more than a cameo in this now. :csad:

Can you point me to were he expanded on it Chris, as in the Show-west spoilers thread, an expansion of the comments is given and it practically says that Soundwave gves his spark to Megatron.

[JackLucas]

That would be funny as hell if Soundwave gave up his spark and died early on in the flick. Fans everywhere would be SO pissed off. As would I. Soundwave has always been my favorite G1 character. Still, I would get a kick out of the audience reaction to that. Heheh.

[The Spark] DOES NOT come from Soundwave. Trust me when I say this as well...Bob, Alex, & Ehren did justice to the original character & the visual effects on him are AMAZING. I will go out on a limb here and say that when you see & hear the new Soundwave you will NOT look at the original in the same way. Those 3 men & Mike listened to the fans. You will LOVE this rendition of him [unless you are rooting for the Autobots]

Soundwave is the one TF that the fans have been clammering for since pre-production of TF1. An official pic of him is all i ask for but so far, there's been nothing but leaked concept art and toy pics. With all the stuff being leaked Soundwave would be like the Moby Dick of leaked pics. They've showcased Devastator in this thing to high heaven as though he's the highlight of this film. Screentime wise it doesn't look good for Soundwave,imo.

[JackLucas]

C'mon now.....gotta get back to irrationally fretting about the death of Soundwave.

I know. It's just terrible what they did to him. Now that we've all seen the movie, let's talk about it.

[The Caped Knight]

Soundwave bio
Stationed in orbit above Earth, Soundwave swiftly taps into every satellite within range. Within minutes, communications, data traffic, weather information, and high-resolution spy photography flood his sensor net. The spill of data fills him with pleasure, and one by one, the humans' systems come under his complete control. From his seat on high, he is in a position to control the destiny of mankind without their knowledge... or to run their civilization into the ground.

Ravage Bio
Bulleting down through the atmosphere at better than 15 times the speed of sound, Ravage considers the data he has already amassed on the small, soft creatures that inhabit this planet. They seem weak and fragile, yet they are the ones that destroyed Megatron. That is a fact he will keep in mind as he penetrates their most sensitive installation, again such an unpredictable enemy, stealth will be his watchword.

[Darth Megatron]

His rank for the toy could have been alot better than it was especially the strength

[ClintF]

Im as excited as the next guy about Frank voicing Soundwave but in all honesty, since he will be using a vocoder for the synthesized speech then almost anyone could voice Soundwave and the average person would never know the difference. Ive done it myself with my mic hooked up to my synth via vocoder and cited "As you command lord Megatron" and sounded close enough :oldrazz: Now if Frank would have got to voice Megatron this go around then we could hear his recognizable voice a bit better. Just wondered if I was the only one who thought on this. Im pro Frank so no :whatever: replies :oldrazz:

[DemonicFoil]

Wouldn't it be cool if they released a Soundwave helmet just like the Optimus Prime and Bumblebee ones.

[Darth Megatron]

did they show any pics of soundwave in the prequel comics

[DemonicFoil]

Does any body know if soundwave will be a playable character in the video game?

[NightCrawler]

sorry... but cant find info on whether Soundwave (toy) has been released yet or not. Every site i look they claim that he will be out before May 30th... so whats that? May 27th?

Some figures are up on ebay already. Anyone with info?

EDIT: Appearently store clerks have the info as May 15th.

[Superhero 101]

i hope he gets to talk a lot i love his voice.

[protocida]

Soundwave sounds (:hehe:) like a badass. I wonder if we'll hear Megatron's "Soundwave, release Ravage".

[Eternalzero]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but about halfway through this video we hear soundwave's voice.

http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14267356/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen/videos/transformersrotf_trl_devastator_50809.html

I'm guessing the movie version won't stray too far from it, as it seems bold for the developers to include that without backing it up in the movie.

No problem. Here's to hoping that this guy's claims are legitimate.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Yeah, because if they arent, a lot of people are going to be upset. I find it curious why we havent seen him in the trailers as of yet though, when we have seen everyone else.

[DemonicFoil]

^ Agreed but I don't think we seen everyone else yet, there are still a few bots they haven't shown in the trailer.

[Golgo-13]

Well the sad news is in from the Japan premier Soundwave fans:

Soundwave doesn't even change to robot mode in the movie, thus the lack of pics...

[ClintF]

Well at least maybe he doesnt get killed off then if he just stays up in space away from the fight, to return in the 3rd film with a bigger role. The news does suck indeed as he has always been my fav, the same with many fans. "Soundwave release Ravage! , OK now just hang out up there in space the rest of the movie and dont worry about helping us Decepticons out"

[lars573]

Huh, well thank's for clearing that up. Still don't remember him though.
He was a post cartoon toy. And Marvel colouring decisions for the TF comic were on crack.

Let's hope he comes abck for the 3rd. The robot-mode design is far too cool to just be a toy.

I still don't understand why Bay would pull something like this, he must have known it would upset the fans.

[Terror Inc.]

No robot mode, no synthesized voice? I'm cool with him not coming down to Earth, I think the fact that he really is the communications expert he's supposed to be, gathering all the things the decpticons are gonna need: info, alt. modes stuff like that is great. But come on, if you're not gonna have him transform at least give him the freakin voice, especially since Welker was confirmed to be voicing him. What the Hell...

[Terror Inc.]

He was a post cartoon toy. And Marvel colouring decisions for the TF comic were on crack.

Ha, that explains it then, no wonder i didn't know who he was.

[protocida]

From what I've read, Soundwave is more useful to the Decepticons as a satellite than as an robot.

And I've heard his voice got BETTER without the sintetizer.

[Terror Inc.]

Yeah I really like the idea of him just looming out there. I hope your right about the voice, always liked the old one, but I'm not completely against change or a G1 super-purist. Guess we'll find out in a couple weeks.

[ClintF]

No vocoder effected voice, then wouldnt he sound similar to cartoon Megatron being that was Frank's semi natural voice. I said all along after hearing the news about Frank voicing Soundwave and everyone getting all excited, if they make Soundwaves voice like in the cartoon(vocoded) then ANYONE could do the voice, makes sense the voice would be cleaner using Frank(hearing how its non-vocoded now)

Actually his natural voice is Fred from Scooby Doo. Rumble is close too. But without the vocoder Soundwave is Dr. Claw (you know from Inspector Gadget) speaking in monotone.

[Jake Cassidy]

Welker's 'Dr. Claw' voice is cool.

[Chris B]

To play devil's advocate for a minute, maybe they experimented with applying the vocoder effect and just couldn't get it right? I can imagine that its probably hard to pull of and getting it to be similar to what it was 25 years could be even hard. Animated Soundwave showed what can happen if its done wrong, with him being barely audible a lot of the time there.

I like Soundwave's Disguise satellite mode . I just hope he transforms into a robot mode in movie 3 . (At least he deployed Ravage)

[Timstuff]

I betcha there will be a vocoder'd fancut of the movie at some point...

Anyway, his alt mode is bad ass. I just wish we could have gotten to see his robot mode in the movie.

[Chris B]

Y'know, I think there's still a good chance that, in the same vein as TF1, there will be some brief scenes shown during the closing credits. Where one of them could be Soundwave transforming. In which case, I don't think its far fetched that if they do plan on including some, they just weren't included on cut for the Japanese premiere.

[protocida]

Might be. Bay added a lot of scenes in Transformers after the first premiére (The Autobots in Hoover Dam, the two after-credits scenes...)

[DemonicFoil]

Just encase if there is anything im sticking around till they show the entire credits.

[Golgo-13]

Me, too. I like Soundwave's alt mode also.

[Raiden]

It's very disappointing to hear that Soundwave won't transform in ROTF. Hopefully Bay can add this scene in as an after-credit kind of thing, like what he did with Starscream in TF1.

[Chris B]

I really liked the idea that someone had over at TFW for a scene that could show Soundwave in orbit and getting a transmission from Megatron ordering him to return to Mars with Soundwave replying "as you command, Megatron" as he transforms and flys off.

And to add to that, I'd like a second scene showing Soundwave landing on Mars and meeting up with Megatron and Starscream. Where Megatron tells him about how he has never failed while giving a glare to a pissed off Starscream. :cwink:

[Chris B]

Me, too. I like Soundwave's alt mode also.

As do I because it really does fit the character. Though it seems like Bay doesn't seem to realize that there's not any reason for him not to come to Earth every now and then.

On a related note, Soundwave needs to adopt an Earth mode for TF3. In which case, I like the idea of a satellite truck that has been put forward by others.

[Golgo-13]

Yeah the satellite truck would be cool. Even if it is someone else's concept......they used someone else's concept for Long Haul, so they can do the same with Soundwave in this case.

[Chris B]

Yeah the satellite truck would be cool. Even if it is someone else's concept......they used someone else's concept for Long Haul, so they can do the same with Soundwave in this case.

I've really come to like the idea for a specific model that someone at the Don Murphy boards put forward:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sattruck.jpg

Big enough for where he could be around the same size as Optimus in robot mode and the blockish shape could allow for similar proportions to his G1 self. Just need to paint it a shade of dark blue.

[protocida]

In the fake script, Soundwave becomes an large, military-grade focused sound laser attached to a truck. That might be interesting to see.

[shigsy2003]

It's very disappointing to hear that Soundwave won't transform in ROTF. Hopefully Bay can add this scene in as an after-credit kind of thing, like what he did with Starscream in TF1.

Unlike the first one there are no after credit scenes featuring the Transformers.

[Kahoot]

After credits featuring humans?

[shigsy2003]

After credits featuring humans?

Aye. Sam and Mikela to be exact.

[Kahoot]

Is it at the end of the credits or kind of mid credits like the first movie?

[shigsy2003]

Mid credits

[DOG LIPS]

Is it true Soundwave's voice lacks any vocoder effect? :(

[shigsy2003]

Is it true Soundwave's voice lacks any vocoder effect? :(

Yep. He sounds a lot more menacing this time around. I didn't mind the change, he looked and sounded great.

[Kahoot]

But his weird voice was part of his character! I call SINO! (Soundwave in name only)

[Illuminata]

But his weird voice was part of his character! I call SINO! (Soundwave in name only)


have to agree.

Soundwave's iconic voice is essential to his characterization. Hopefully the new director will bring this into the next film.

Just glad he's actually in the film even if he's just a cameo. Seems like Bay wasn't too keen on bringing the character onboard. Similar to Raimi with Venom, which is why both come off disappointing.

[protocida]

Bay is coming back.

[CaptainClown]

dude he hardly characterized the transformers, so I dont understand how just showing another robot that is evil, or as i like to call misunderstood, would not benefit the film where you have robots running around everywhere?

So when you say he didn't like the character it makes no sense cause there are really no characters just decepticon 1 decepticon 2 and so forth. Oh bay confuses me sometimes

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

The change to Soundwave's voice wasnt as dissapointing as I thought it would be to be honest, nor was his role, yeah I wanted to see him in some battle's, etc, but to be fair he has never really been a big fighter. Hopefully in TF3 we get more of him.

[Theweepeople]

I remember soundwave participating in basically every battle of the G1 cartoon. He just didn't engage his enemy in hand to hand combat very often. Soundwave usually always attacked enemies with his gun. When that didn't work he would eject his minions to fight with.

[lars573]

But his weird voice was part of his character! I call SINO! (Soundwave in name only)
It's STILL G1 Soundwaves voice. Frank Welkers gravely deep evil voice (aka Dr. Claw).

[TheVileOne]

It was cool having Welker as Soundwave again and all. But that's it really.

[ChicageauxTiger]

Does anyone have (or know of) any leaked samples of Soundwave's voice in TF2?

[ChicageauxTiger]

Whoops! Double Post.

[SpiderByte]

Does anyone have (or know of) any leaked samples of Soundwave's voice in TF2?

I found a clip of him on youtube yesterday, but it was taken down. Had soundwave....

IN ROBOT MODE!

Yeah, i know, right? It was just for a moment though. He transformed back into satelite off-screen.

But I thought the "Soundwave in Robot Mode" was BS? Are you yanking my Allspark? :woot:

[macdawson]

Soundwave is the best new Decepticon in the movie. As for the voice he sounds dark and ominous, Welker did the same voice he did for G1. The difference is they didn't give him that electronic echo in his voice he had back then.

As for his robot mode he is seen briefly changing shape before attaching to the NEST sattelite.

[phoenixflight]

Loved Soundwave. He has always been and will forever be my favorite Transformer. This movie's 'interpretation' of him does not change that one bit!!! his true essence remained unchanged...he is still loyal, powerful, controlling and menacing. The only other thing I wanted (other than seeing him in FULL robot mode) was for him to say "Ravage eject".

KEEP Michael Bay for the third movie!!!

Welker's a legend.

[bell110]

Very disappointed with Soundwave. How hard would it have been to use a vocoder? Does anyone know why they opted not to?

[Rock Sexton]

Very disappointed with Soundwave. How hard would it have been to use a vocoder? Does anyone know why they opted not to?

It relegated Soundwave to the point of pointlessness. No vocoder means it was just some other character out there named Soundwave. We already had to put up with a whole new physical version of him........to have to swallow a new voice is taking it too far.

[The Guard]

I really enjoyed seeing Soundwave in the movie. There was a strange, eerie "weight" to his scenes. They just felt important the way they were shot and scored, even though he was basically just serving as a communications link and a spy. Also appreciated that even though he wasn't a tapedeck, he still shot Ravage out of his chest...and was that some version of Laserbreak ravage shot out of his on Earth?

[Krimasen]

Soundwave didn't do much, but I thought he was cool any time he was on screen. I loved that they kept his original voice (even though it's without the echo).

[Chris B]

Robert Orci mentioned over at the TFW boards recently that the reason why Bay decided not to add the vocoder effect was because he though it was hard to understand. And to play devil's advocate for a moment, Soundwave was pretty inaudible at times on 'Transformers: Animated'.

Personally, I think what they should've done is add it, but tone it down to make it more subtle but still noticeable.

None-the-less, the Dr. Claw voice still fits the character, and as lars already pointed out, that was the voice Welker used for the character in the cartoon.

That said, despite the small role, Soundwave was cool whenever he was on screen. And here's to hoping that he gets a much bigger role come TF3.

[Timstuff]

True... They even made a joke about how inarticulate Soundwave's voice was when he tried to call Mrs. Witwicky on the phone and she couldn't make out a word he was saying. The audience would probably have a similarly difficult time if he'd been going through a vocoder.

Besides, I'm sure there will be a fan cut out soon enough that will have Soundwave in all his vocoder'd glory. :hehe:

If they didn't give him the digital vocoder sound, then how is it the same voice? I'm absolutely baffled any of you say that. It's not the same voice at all without that effect.

You mean hard to understand like Bay's motives or plots?

Talk about an reaching. I could understand Soundwave practically all the time as long as it wasn't during loud explosions or fights. He was floating in the silence of space for christ sake. It would've been easy to understand him.

[Rock Sexton]

He was MEANT to be inaudible when trying to talk to Mrs. Witwicky over the phone. That was the point!

[Spider-Fan]

Soundwave I thought was done very well. He's a spying bot mostly, and him being a space satellite was a cool idea. I thought he was the best new character in the movie.

[Nathan]

I really didn't mind Soundwave's role in the Movie. They way I had seen people talk, I thought he'd have nothing but a cameo role. But he appeared several times and coordinated the Decepticon's attacks. It was quite fitting for him. Maybe we'll see him in action in the 3rd Movie.

[SuperT]

Good lord Rock Sexton, you need to take freakin' chill pill dude. It's just a damn voice!!

[Octoberist]

so if they didn't digitalized his voice, did he still talk in a monotone voice? like an expressionless Dr. Claw?

[Jake Cassidy]

^ Yes.

The voice sounded great, imo.

[Octoberist]

so you can kinda reconize it then.

Also, does he have a mouth? Or a faceplate?

[Jake Cassidy]

It's easily recognisable. At least it was for me.

[DOG LIPS]

Soundwave was great. Could he have been better? Had the voice synth? Visor? Hell yes, but in Bayformers, you take what you can get and you be happy! :cmad:

I like how ominous he was, floating in space and being a puppeteer to the Decepticons. The score during his scenes and mainly his intro was great as well. I loved his Dr. Claw voice, and he had a good design I thought. His mouth was like a big scary bug thing. :(

I'm glad he never came down to die a weak ass deaths at the hands of an old lady with a gun or something, and I look forward to his return.

[The Caped Knight]

Soundwave was awesome even thought he doesn't appear in Robot form . He still was a nice addition to the Decepticons army . He served his purpose quite well he Spied on the enemy (kinda like Laserbeak would) and deployed Ravage . The voice while wasn't the classic Soundwave from the G1 cartoon , I'm still glad Frank Welker did the voice he did a great job . Here's hoping we see him in robot form in movie 3 .

[sabetoonth]

wasnt he kinda between robot and stallite from in rotf?

[DOG LIPS]

He was a satellite with a head.

[Joker8906]

I think he has a kinda mouth and yeah Soundwave was an awesome addition hopefully we see more of him in the next one

[sabetoonth]

"decepticons i have the boys position"

[DarknessOfDeath]

This decepticon was awesome. I got chills during his scenes. Whoa man!

[sabetoonth]

the tenticle things were great for the effect andpurpose, like an octopus or multiple leeches

[DarknessOfDeath]

I found that part...kinda weird.

[CELTICPRED]

I loved every second we had with Soundwave.

The voice was sheer badass. Didn't make me miss the vocoder at all.

[skorponok]

so if they didn't digitalized his voice, did he still talk in a monotone voice? like an expressionless Dr. Claw?

This is the exact same voice used in the original cartoons - sans the vocoder. There were a few moments in the G1 cartoons where they did NOT use the vocoder for whatever reason and he sounded exactly like this.

[PyroChamber]

So did he actually look like his ROTF action figure?

[skorponok]

Given what you see of him, yes...

[Octoberist]

Thank God Soundwave wasn't tainted by Bay. Thank God he stayed up there. If I was Soundwave, I would sneak my way out of the Milky Way.

[DemonicFoil]

I would of still preferred the voice synthesizer, only because its recognizable and iconic.

[Nathan]

I preferred the Voice this way. And I agree about Soundwave staying up in space. Thank god he didn't come down. He was one of the best Decepticons in the Movie and had a purpose and luckily didn't get tainted.

[The Guard]

You know what was cool? Those "liquid circuits" he was using.

[Nivek]

I loved every second we had with Soundwave.

The voice was sheer badass. Didn't make me miss the vocoder at all.

Ditto, I didn't miss the synth on the voice, or the robot form. He was definatly cool, especially with the fiber optic tentacles.

[sabetoonth]

it was just awesome third fav con after ss and megs

[Ipodman]

The way he deployed Ravage was awesome. Ravage was awesome. The other stuff that popped out of him i didnt really like

[matrix_ghost]

Soundwave was great. Could he have been better? Had the voice synth? Visor? Hell yes, but in Bayformers, you take what you can get and you be happy! :cmad:

I also did love Soundwave and i'm surprised that Bay changed Frank Welker's voice that much. Really if he did that to the voice of Welker , i really do think that he could've voiced Megatron in both movies. Not that i'm complaining about Hugo Weaving ( Agent Smith ftw ! :hehe:). But his voice was quite menacing at times and could've held the gravitas of Megatron.

[dark_b]

i like how soundwaves voice stands out.

[Drz]

Soundwave not only had a badass voice but awesome tentacles to rape satelites. =D

[matrix_ghost]

Soundwave not only had a badass voice but awesome tentacles to rape satelites. =D

Míchael Bay's secret Hentai inspiration perhaps ?

[Drz]

Haha you bet. >_>

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Was it just me or did Soundwave sound like Dr. Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon years ago?

[The Question]

That's actually the voice Welker always used for Soundwave before they processed it.

[dark_b]

Was it just me or did Soundwave sound like Dr. Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon years ago?he did :applaud

[Nivek]

That's actually the voice Welker always used for Soundwave before they processed it.

This has been repeated about a dozen times, and people are still complaining about lack of Synth on his voice. It's stupid.

[Jake Cassidy]

Was it just me or did Soundwave sound like Dr. Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon years ago?

Frank Welker, who did the voice of Soundwave, also did Dr. Claw. :woot:

[Drz]

Frank Welker, who did the voice of Soundwave, also did Dr. Claw. :woot:

My mind just blew from the mere awesomeness of this new fact. =O

[Golgo-13]

He's sounds nothing like G1 Soundwave to me.

Anyhow, i think it would have made a nice robot mode cameo for Soundwave when if at the end when Megs calls for Starscream to help him, Starscream flies off and Soundwave shows up and carries off the wounded Megs.....

[Jake Cassidy]

^ Welker used the Dr. Claw voice for Soundwave in the cartoon. The only difference was the vocoder(sp?).

I liked it more in the movie, anyway. As someone said before, he sounds ominous.

When it comes to voice actors Frank Welker is the greatest ever. :woot:

[marvelman2006]

I really dug his scenes in space. I really like that we saw his face. I can see why he wasnt in the final battle because we could barely keep up with who was in it to begin with. if there is a 3 then i would like to see him in it. one question though if he came to earth to fight then wouldnt he be huge given the size of a normal satellite?

[dark_b]

Frank Welker, who did the voice of Soundwave, also did Dr. Claw. :woot:this is amazing :woot:

[sandmjuggalos]

Has anyone confirmed who the bot was that the spheres turned into? They came from Ravage so I took it as Laserbeak. Anyone?

[DemonicFoil]

It was like a weird razor bot that almost resembled his tail.:huh:

[The Guard]

Had to be Laserbeak. It looked like a weird razor bird thing, served as a sort of surveillance go-getter drone thing, and it was tied to Ravage. I can't imagine it being any other robot.

[Mr. Earle]

Has anyone confirmed who the bot was that the spheres turned into? They came from Ravage so I took it as Laserbeak. Anyone?
The most stupid robot of them all. Wtf!!!

[GhostPoet]

Was it just me or did Soundwave sound like Dr. Claw from the Inspector Gadget cartoon years ago?

YES!!! Exactly...haha The original voice was less corny than this. :)

[M.O.Steel]

which one was soundwave. i don't remember him being in the movie??

[Longshot777]

I could live with his voice without the vocoder,

But it would give it an awesome feel if the effects were put on Soundwave's voice.

That voice is ICONIC.


That's what separates Soundwave from every Transformers.

It made him so distinct and memorable.


When you think of Soundwave, you think of that voice. It really goes hand and hand.


Without that effect on his voice, is like having Superman without an S on his chest, Popeye without spinach, or Hulk not being green.


But like I said, I could live with it.

[craigdbfan]

which one was soundwave. i don't remember him being in the movie??

Soundwave is the satellite Decepticon that helps them breach government security codes to find the "shard".

[M.O.Steel]

oh wow...i didn't realize that was soundwave. did he introduce himself. i must hav missed it.

i thought it was fallen until they showed him chillin on his thrown.

[Nathan]

I thought fans would immediately recognize him, with him being the Decepticon's spy, ejecting Ravage from his chest and having that monotone voice.

[Eddie Brock]

I thought fans would immediately recognize him, with him saying, "Soundwave acknowledges." :oldrazz:

[M.O.Steel]

I thought fans would immediately recognize him, with him being the Decepticon's spy, ejecting Ravage from his chest and having that monotone voice.

i guess i'm not a fan then?:whatever:

I thought fans would immediately recognize him, with him saying, "Soundwave acknowledges." :oldrazz:

haha, whatever...gimme break.

[Balthus Dire]

Maybe I'm crazy but Soundwave got the biggest reaction from me out of any of the "new" bots in the movie. My skin was crawling when I heard his voice the first time and he was used perfectly. I dunno how anyone could complain about his voice...

And I'm surprised how many people didn't know Frank Welker also did Dr. Claw. Geez.

[Marvolo]

I didn't know who Soundwave was until about a month before this movie came out, but the first time I saw him on screen I had a geekgasm. The first time I saw Soundwave, and he spoke I just got this bad-ass vibe coming from him. IMO, Soundwave is one thing Bay did right. The voice, and design was just bad-ass. Yes, people are upset, because he didn't come down to earth, but I am glad. I as a more than casual fan, know who he is. However, my friends don't have a clue who he is or what he is capable of beyond what was in the movie so when he was on screen I kept thinking to myself about how my friends and other people don't know what this guy is capable of. I don't know I just loved knowing that Soundwave is a sleeping nightmare, being kept in reserve, and general audience members don't have a clue of his power. I can't wait to see him unleash hell on some Autobots.

[Grievous]

Maybe I'm crazy but Soundwave got the biggest reaction from me out of any of the "new" bots in the movie. My skin was crawling when I heard his voice the first time and he was used perfectly. I dunno how anyone could complain about his voice...

lol my heart was pounding when the army was moving in on Demolishor. I don't know why but I just love that guy. It was awesome to hear his voice, too bad he talked when he was dieing.

[SolarTiger]

So I guess Soundwave will be huge in the third movie, given how big he appeared in space.

[Nathan]

Hmm... let's see, he shot Ravage down to earth with something that looked liked a cannon located in his chest. Looking at Ravages size and with Bumblebee for height comparison, I would guess at least as big as Blackout, if not even a bit taller.

[DemonicFoil]

Hope he has his iconic voice in the next one along with his visor and mouth guard, not really a big issue but i love the voice synthesizer more.

[dark_b]

i hope he is not bigger then megatron.

[Nathan]

i hope he is not bigger then megatron.

I don't know, I like the idea of a big Soundwave, that looks like he could kick Megatron's hind, but is his most loyal servant and personal guard.

[dark_b]

I don't know, I like the idea of a big Soundwave, that looks like he could kick Megatron's hind, but is his most loyal servant and personal guard.if he can not defeat megatron and still be huge then ok.

i just dont like the idea that soundwave would be better and stronger and listen to megatron.

[Balthus Dire]

if he can not defeat megatron and still be huge then ok.

i just dont like the idea that soundwave would be better and stronger and listen to megatron.


Soundwave superior; Constructicons....inferior.

[Nathan]

That's exactly what I like about it. If he'd join forces with Starscream, he could probably easily overthrow Megatron. But it's not his desire. He's just a Soldier and Megatron's loyal servant.

[sabetoonth]

didnt he try an overthrowonce, and succueed or am i thinking of a time megs went missing?

[Golgo-13]

Soundwave WAS indeed done pefectly in this, i would have just liked to have seen him show up at the end when Megatron needed help escaping, so we could get a shot of him in robot mode.

[sandmjuggalos]

Soundwave was the man in this movie. With the information he had, he could have easily taken over Megatron as leader and made Starscream seem like a little B****. And for the record, I con't care how much they call the razor-bot "Reedman", that is totally Laserbeak, IMO. Or wait.... due to the way he was portrayed, in Bayverse, he would be RAZORbeak. Reedman...WTF?

(should I put this in the WTF? thread?)

It clearly is. Who gives a damn what it's called officially?

Yeah I'm just gonna stick with Laserbeak. :woot:

[Grievous]

I could see the Army making their super cannon bigger and using it to blast Soundwave down to Earth in the 3rd.

[Panophobia]

It clearly is. Who gives a damn what it's called officially?

Exactly. Brawl was referred to as Devastator in the first film, but he was still Brawl.

[Illuminata]

I'm still waiting on pics for Soundwave :(

i believe he still voices scooby-doo

[Mr. Earle]

I could see the Army making their super cannon bigger and using it to blast Soundwave down to Earth in the 3rd.That was such a stupid deus ex machina. So what now? Humans can kill Devastator with one shot. Will there be a decepticon left in the third?

[BLACK-SPIDEY]

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

After seeing this movie for a 4th time today, I love Soundwave's role, yeah, it was crap how we never saw him in robot mode, but he did directly effect the plot the of the movie, and it was just awesome seeing him!
