Soundwave

**Soundwave** (サウンドウェーブ, *Saundowēbu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Marvelous DC's* *Transformer Titans* series created by Sam Register and Bob Haney. He is a Decepticon spy master and Cybertronian technology gone wrong.

One of Megatron's earliest followers, and, many believe, instrumental to his rise. He just sneaks about, patiently looking for transmissions and acting as restraint on treacherous usurpers, and ensuring that their rather less than subtle ambitions are held in check.

This undying loyalty to Megatron, and their history together, have attained him a lofty, high position in the Decepticon hierarchy. He is partnered with the Mini-Cons: Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat, Buzzsaw, Zori, Stuntwing, Trickout, Hi-Test, and Goldgear.

"*The cries and screams of my victims are music to my audio receptors.*"

### Biography

Soundwave is one of Megatron's most dependable troops and as such, has positioned himself in Megatron's upper command structure. He operates as the Decepticon Communications Officer and answers only to Megatron. Many of the Decepticons see Soundwave as a backstabber who blackmails others to raise his esteem with Megatron. Soundwaves sees and hears all.

Soundwave is known for being unquestionably loyal to Megatron. Commanding an armada of Mini-Con Deployers, Soundwave can infiltrate and acquire enemy intel. Soundwave is often not trusted by other Decepticons out of fear he might also spy on them and reports back to Megatron.

## Powers and Abilities

His arsenal of weapons and gadgets is unusually large, and includes powerful speakers, wiretaps, voice modulators, sonic signals that control lesser robots, and the uncanny ability to assimilate other devices into his body. He can also form a larger, Transformer sized body from smaller machines.

Soundwave has the ability to control any machine in Crown City and Jump City remotely, and can control many machines at a time. He can also emits powerful sound blasts that are capable of disrupting Raven's dark energy and knocking a bull elephant about a hundred feet backward.

In his second appearance, Soundwave demonstrates a great knowledge of mechanics and science. He also now possesses his minions Laserbeak and Ratbat. Laserbeak gives Soundwave the ability to use sonic attacks against his enemies. Ratbat enhances Soundwave's ability to control other machines to the point where he can use the smaller Soundwave toys that Porter C. Powell was selling to reduce the whole of Crown and Jump cities to a zombie like state. Soundwave is also able to fly in his robot mode.

### Weapons

Soundwave carries a Sonic Cannon, Neutron Assault Rifle, a mix between an energon mace/hammer, a multi-turrent weapon on his shoulder, and an Energon Repair Ray.

## History

### Past

#### Battles of Cybertron

##### Preparing Departure

Soundwave was present when Optimus was brought to Megatron by Starscream and Onslaught. He watched as Metroplex **pulverised** Megatron. He was the only one who hesitated in following Starscream. He secretly salvaged and with the help of Laserbeak, Rumble and an E.D.K. TechVolt, rebuilt his glorious leader, improving on his original design. He infused Megatron with Dark Energon, and pointed his leader in the direction of Starscream.

He took part in the assault on the factory the Autobots had built in the crater where Trypticon crashed, and once Megatron had rebuilt the giant Decepticon, came to power up Trypticon's power core. On Megatron's orders, Soundwave rebuilt Trypticon into the *Nemesis*, a ship strong enough to make it towards the planet Shockwave had chosen. On the outskit streets outside Great Dome of Iacon City, Soundwave was able to deploy Laserbeak to snoop even closer.

Laserbeak discovered that the Autobots were preparing to depart Cybertron to search for new sources of energy on other planets, and Soundwave quickly took this news back to Megatron, prompting the Decepticons to pursue the Autobots' spacecraft when it left the planet.

When the Autobots have launched the Ark, and after navigating a treacherous meteor shower, the *Nemesis* soon caught up and battle erupted between the two factions, and Soundwave spearheaded the assault on the other ship, during which Soundwave displayed his prowess by holding his own against Jazz, Prowl, Sideswipe, Ironhide *and* Ratchet. However, the fighting was soon cut short when both spacecrafts were caught in the gravity of the nearby prehistoric planet Earth and crash-landed.

The Ark impacted with the side of a volcano and the Nemesis crashed into deep under water in a collision so violent that all the Transformers on board, Soundwave included, were knocked off line.
