Soundwave is later beaten and is forced to retreat, never seen again (but he is somewhat successful as Zeta later dies from his wounds).
However, Soundwave arrives first and fights them with the help of his minicons. Soundwave's cartoon characterization has defined later incarnations, particularly in the 'Aligned' continuity. Despite that unintended consequence, Optimus Prime's death remains one of the most affecting moments in the franchise's history and enriched the mythos in ways that Hasbro couldn't have possibly predicted. After Soundwave orders the execution of the three, they put their plan into action and head to Zeta. In the series' 3-part pilot, he warned Megatron of Starscream's treachery, while in the movie, he carried his mortally wounded leader from the battlefield to the Decepticons' escape ship. Hasbro eventually saw the error of their ways, reviving the Autobot leader in the season 3 finale "The Return Of Optimus Prime" after a huge letter-writing campaign made them realize they had seriously traumatized a huge swath of their audience. Galvatron is clearly distraught by Soundwaves death, and he does scream in the Japanese version, but the line delivery in the dub made it sound like he is. He also had a small drone called Laserbeak that could come off his chest if he needed surveillance in more than one area at once, though he didnt use it often. When Megatron decided to reveal the Transformers presence on Earth after killing Optimus Prime, Soundwave issued the mobilization order to the waiting troops on the Nemesis. Soundwaves remains were presumably taken away for study by KSI. To Hasbro, Optimus Prime was simply a 1984 toy that was discontinued and needed to make way for new product. Soundwave was a black Decepticon with dark purple highlights and many points indicating that his Vehicle Mode (transformation) could fly.
In what is one of the more baffling moves in the history of franchise storytelling, Hasbro simply did not realize they had created an icon in Optimus Prime. Soundwave participated in the battle that ensued, which ended in a loss for the Decepticons when Ultra Magnus triggered an avalanche, burying Galvatron and.

Soundwave blasted Bumblebee with sonic waves, but was caught in an explosion and flung into the depths below.The death that all fans remember, Optimus Prime's demise scarred a generation of unsuspecting children. Later on, in AllSpark, Soundwave defended the Space Bridge from the Autobots, to prevent them using to send the AllSpark away from Cybertron. The duo brought Bumblebee before Megatron, and were subsequently ordered to leave while Megatron interrogated their prisoner. Sam forces his way into NEST after the Decepticon attack and Wangs death. Soundwave successfully incapacitated the Autobot after Shadow Striker failed to do so. In the first Transformers it is stated that Megatron had been in cryo sleep. At some point, he caught a Cybertronian bird, naming him Laserbeak. He was a fan of Megatron, attending his rally, and joined the Decepticons.Īfter the Great War broke out, in "Megatron is My Hero", Soundwave chased Bumblebee, after the Autobot overheard Shockwave's plans for Vector Sigma.
Before the Great War, Soundwave was a patron at Maccadam's Old Oil House, and once danced there, along with a pair of Seekers. They were shot down en route by Soundwaves minions.
