Soundwave

Soundwave is the communications officer of the Decepticon cause, a con of few words (or none in his case) but an efficient warrior and capable at espionage. Backed by his mini-cons, Soundwave is perhaps the most annoying con to deal with and certainly the most loyal. 
== Information ==
=== Role ===
Soundwave is the second-in-command of the Decepticons in all but role. He is the most loyal Decepticon, has access to the ships systems, and is their supercomputer. He is responsible for almost everything on the ship and is a skilled espionage as well. No one has infiltrated the bots as much as he has.
=== Powers and Abilities ===
Soundwave possesses a sonic turret on his shoulder and sonic powers from his hands, alongside the ability to summon groundbridges at will with no cooldown. This is a major ability and allows him to easily transport others.
He is naturally slimmer and is agile, though capable of tanking hits. He also possesses over twelve mini-cons, all with their own purpose, and he also owns but doesn't fully command his other five.
== History ==
=== Before the War ===
Soundwave started off in a good position, a member of the Cybertronian Council alongside Elita-One and the others. As a member of the council, he campaigned for the rights of lower cybertronians, the choices for every cybertronian to choose their role and just more rights in general. However, this proved futile, and he would finally leave when Shockwave's surgery happened. As punishment for him leaving, many of his Mini-Cons had their memories wiped by the council in a cruel experiment. 
He decided to do sports, playing Cube for two years before moving to Cyberball, a sport he would play for over 40 years, becoming legendary in the sport for his rivalry with fellow Cyberball player Krok and for beating Ratchet's team, Blaster City CB 6-1 in a game, scoring three goals past the best keeper in the world. He gained most of his fame from this sport, but he retired from the sport when he felt he couldn't do it anymore.
He became a gladiator, fighting in Iacon's gladiatorial arena (only supporting friendly matches) and picking up a record of 6,434 wins and 232 draws with just two losses throughout his campaign. His fame only increased, and he was pitted against the current gladiator champion of Kaon, Megatronus. They fought to a stand still, and Soundwave would follow the revolutionary. He also started fighting in the Pits of Kaon instead to gain favour with the poorer class who were confused by his joining of the Decepticons. 
He had spies in the council, at this time including Contrail and his mini-con Flipsides. He managed to arrange the meeting with Orion Pax and Megatronus and the council, serving as a sort of mediator. However, he would attack and take part in the assassination of the council, personally killing the ones involved in the mind wiping of his mini-cons.
=== The War ===
Eventually, the Battle of Iacon would be the end of the Cybertronian Civil War on Cybertron, Soundwave playing a major part in the battle, scoring a kill on Brawn and his mini-con Ravage killing mini-bot, Stripes. He would manage to pinpoint the Spacebridges destination used to transport the Ark to Earth and led the Nemesis there.. beginning the War on Earth. 
He was seen in the Nemesis with Starscream after Barricade lost to a group of four autobots, having tracked Megatron's location. Starscream told him to deploy the miners, but he refused, leading Starscream to Shockwave's lab, where the scientist praised him as the mines would take a while to set-up, time they didn't have. Soundwave deployed Ravage to watch over Blackout's fight with the Autobots, and his trusty mini-con got him the coordinates of the bridge, where he would eventually help free Blackout from bot custody.
== Trivia ==
- He is very much a "gentleman", his interactions with femcons and fembots such as Nightbird or Contrail are much nicer than his conversations with males. He is overall more "talkative," speaking in his silent language and showing more personality.
- His friendship with Nightbird seems to be genuine, unlike the other Decepticons he hangs around with who he barely tolerates unless they are of some use to him.
- This Soundwave is a mix of his Cyberverse and TFP personality, a silent killer, but with some of his smugness and pride from Cyberverse, though it isn't as prevalent.
