“	Soundwave superior, Autobots inferior.	„
	~ Soundwave's taunt

Summary

Soundwave is a former gladiator who turned into one of Megatron's most loyal followers and became the Decepticon's Communications Officer.

Soundwave has the ability to receive transmissions from anywhere on the planet. This allows him to spy on every being on the planet in the hopes of picking up Autobot-related communications.

Soundwave rarely speaks, as he presumably considers words inferior to actions, and would rather stand to watch and absorb all of a situation rather than involving himself directly. However, if his leader or his position is in any way challenged, he will fight with ferocity and skill unmatched by most.
