Soundwave



Soundwave appears in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Soundwave is a satellite in the film, and he is also a Triple changer as he has the form of a Cybertronian jet as well. Soundwave is not seen in his robot form in the film. Frank Welker uses his Doctor Claw voice from Inspector Gadget, which, when run through a vocoder, gives Soundwave his unique voice from the original animated series. The lack of this vocoder in the 2009 film left the voice sounding more like Doctor Claw than the original Soundwave.

In Revenge of the Fallen, Soundwave spends his time hovering above Earth in orbit. Docking onto a satellite and hacking it, Soundwave intercepts information on the location of Megatron's corpse and the Allspark shard, deploying his servant Ravage to retrieve the shard. After the death of Optimus Prime, Soundwave carries out Megatron's order to prepare the Decepticons for war. Later coordinating attacks, Soundwave locates Sam Witwicky's parents in Paris, France, and even communicates with Judy Witwicky via her cell phone but Judy does not take him seriously. He does not take part in the last battle, although Ravage does, and is killed by Bumblebee. Soundwave is one of the Decepticons confirmed to survive the film. Soundwave returns in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, this time with Laserbeak to do his bidding. It is revealed that Soundwave was on Earth since the 60s and recruited the Gould family to the Decepticon cause. During the climactic final battle, Soundwave and Barricade try to execute Que, Dino, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee after capturing them at Dylan's insistence not to take prisoners. Barricade executes Que and then Soundwave tries to kill Bumblebee but is stopped by Wheelie and Brains who cause Decepticon fighters to drop on their position. While Soundwave is distracted, Bumblebee battles back and blows Soundwave's head off, destroying him.
