Soundwave is one of Megatron’s most trusted Decepticons in the G1 Transformers cartoon, transforming into a microcassette recorder. Cold, loyal, and calculating, he speaks in a distinctive monotone voice generated through a vocoder effect, which added to his eerie presence. He deploys cassette warriors like Laserbeak, Ravage, and Rumble from his chest compartment, making him both a spy master and a formidable fighter. Soundwave’s unshakable loyalty to Megatron and his ability to gather intelligence make him indispensable to the Decepticon cause.
