  Soundwave being loyal to the Decepticon cause more than loyal to Megatron is such a nice way of adding some nuance to the character.

  Soundwave is so badass that not even the Cosmically-Powered Starscream could defeat him.

  I love how it&apos;s an unspoken rule in the shows that Soundwave almost always gets the better of the Autobots. Even the times he was defeated it took an entire team against just him.

  It&apos;s surprising to me that Hasbro has never made a toy of the purple-coloured Soundwave from the Marvel comics. I know i&apos;d buy one.

  &quot;Soundwave superior.&quot; Yes, yes he is. Amazing that for 40 years, he&apos;s remained one of the most popular and integral characters in the franchise. Every version is amazing, but my personal favorite is the Prime version. Cold, ruthless, fiercely loyal to Megatron, and always two steps ahead of the Autobots. Plus his sleek, faceless design is awesome.

  Prime Soundwave is my favorite incarnation of him! Though his silence was a fun one-time gimmick, his actions of loyalty and sheer competence are the traits that made him lovable to me.<br><br>Cyberverse&apos;s incarnation did start him off as a bit of a jerk, but later developments in that series made him great like he always was.<br><br>I also do like the new angle in IDW and Cyberverse that show that Soundwave isn&apos;t inherently evil, but just happens to be extremely loyal to the Decepticon&apos;s first principles of equality.

  Soundwave is really the only Decepticon who got the better of the Autobots on more than one occasion, and he&apos;s the only Decepticon that Megatron consistently relies on across most media. Everytime Megatron needs something done, Soundwave has either already done it, or, he&apos;s already in the process of doing it.

  Prime Soundwave was really good, but Cyberverse Soundwave is definitely my favorite. His personality was pretty unique among Soundwaves, and despite being a loyal Decepticon throughout the entire series, was willing to ally with the Autobots against a common foe. He was even able to lead the Decepticons to make peace with the Autobots and bring and end to the war. His sacrifice at the end of the series was really sad too, but had a ton of impact due to how important the character had been throughout the show. I also really liked his relationship with Laserbeak.

  I love that its almost an unspoken rule at this point that if Soundwave is in a Transformers show he HAS TO look cool and/or at least be a serious enough threat that it takes effort from all the Autobots to fully defeat him.
