The fact that Soundwave was the ONLY surviving (unchanged) member of the original cast of characters after the movie really shows how popular he was in the series.
I basically stopped watching after the movie came out. Before I would stop what I was doing to watch that show and after they killed off half the characters I just threw in the towel. All to sell toys... Sell toys? Lost fans to sell toys.... Idiots
"That was heaven. The purest most vibrant and most perfect harmony that I've ever heard!" I dunno why, I just LOVE that line, especially coming from Soundwave! ^-^
No, Blaster/Twincast was the boombox. Soundwave/Soundblaster was a microcassette recorder, but the scale of the G1 cartoon never showed that, and they made it look like he was a regular cassette player. :-)
I love Soundwave's relationship with his cassettes and how even if only a couple get brought back for different reincarnations, the relationship remains the same.
Wow! Soundwave went out like a boss! One arm missing, and still he kept fighting until he exploded, even taking his opponent with him. One of the best decepticons.
AstroTrain100: A fair amount of the movie actors or character intro episodes only had the actor for the one episode or the movie, Soundwave’s voice actor actually became the actor for most of the Decepticon cast at one point, combiners included
@@silenc3068 Yes, the great Frank Welker .He voiced Megatron in season 1&2 and the movie before being reformatted into Galvatron. Then he took over the role as Galvatron in season 3. He voiced many characters in the series but Megatron and Soundwave were always my favorites!
Well, would YOU wanna pay like 120,000 bucks a session to keep the guy? Back in the day, he was as popular as Elizabeth Taylor in the Sci Fi community. He don't come cheap is what I'm saying. Meanwhile, it took Frank Welker a million years, as with his friend Peter Cullen, but they grew into voice acting gods and demand almost as much respect as them with their fees and unions. They took a cheap job and turned it into a primary piece of their resume, is what I'm saying.
Galvatron only had Soundwave from the G1 Decepticon crew, the only one who survived beyond the movie in his original form. Guess that says a lot about his popularity especially with characters always being phased out quickly.
If SoundWave was leader the Decepticons every attack He carried out would Logical and Efficient to the letter! The Autobots would have serious problems!
Then let this be the order of Hiearchy: Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave. Sure, Soundwave is 3rd in command but he can always be temp leader when needed.
Soundwave’s was so iconic , I enjoyed every line he spoke in every episode I’ve seen him .. his voice rings in my head from time to time even through this day .
Lol I thought I was the only one who did that. 54 now and still can quote original lines to the T.... Sometimes a situation will come up and in my head I will hear my boy saying one of his famous lines.... Good stuff.
I'm quite amazed and sad that Soundwave wasn't featured that much in season 3 compared to the first 2 seasons, i think the Carnage In C Minor episode is probably the most i have ever heard him speak and displayed the most personality compared to earlier appearances where he wasn't as vocal but spoke in a very cold, emotionless, monotone voice. Soundwave for me was the only Decepticon left who was there from the beginning, such a shame that he didn't have more screentime in the 3rd season, i would have loved to have seen him in much bigger roles as he was by far one of the best Transformers ever.
Favorite Autobot:Optimus Prime Favorite Decepticon:Soundwave Why Soundwave? Well,I kinda guess both Prime and Soundwave almost look the same. And I kinda like how Soundwave was so loyal to Megatron.
Actually you're the first person to agree with me on this lol. I've loved soundwave because he was an all around loyal, cool charater with a small army in his chest. Idk it was so cool to me when I was younger, and prime was always the meek, awesome leader that led the autobots. I have a masterpiece soundwave and a 20th anniversary prime on display, and i always thought it was kinda obscure to only favour those two charaters, but glad I'm not alone 😂.
I wish Soundwave gets more spotlight in future series along with his minicons, they are like the only family in the army. I especially love Rumble and Frenzy along with Laserbeak and Ravage.
One of the writers made mention of errors like that in the season 3&4 box set. Basically the toy company would show models of the new toys and possible names, they would have to quickly male a script figure out how to incorporate and rename all the characters over a few episodes without basically doing a role call every episode (aside from the headmaster episodes as there were just far to many characters for the few episodes that were left) then they would send out to board and animate and it was a rush job from the script onward. Talented writers like the ones for the first gen tmnt were on staff and made the show decent instead of a straight up commercial like they were basically told to make.
Ahh Japan, where Autobots, aka Cybertrons, could get away with saying swear words! Can you imagine the backlash if they'd tried to do that in the American G1 series? (There was quite a stir when Spike said "Oh, Shit!" at the sight of Cybertron's 2nd moon being blown apart and Unicron being utterly unfazed!)
Soundwave: Communications Officer, a 'bot barely alive. Decepticons, We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first Bionic Bot. Soundwave will be that Bot: better than he was before; Blacker, Stronger, Faster...
This was like watching the final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron only it being between Soundwave and Blaster where both combatants died but were resurrected by they're charges the same looks but new bodies and new names.
I've seen the 1986 transformers the movie maybe a zillion times. At 1st I thought my brothers were torturing me, then slowly little by little I saw what all the fuss was about! I fell in love. I used to watch this before we went to school..around 6:30 am I think. I lived for this! Ahhh my wonderful childhood memories as a girl. My favorite transformer is SOUNDWAVE.
I was just playing my jaw harp for the first time in a while, and started talking into it. I suddenly realized, “Wait.. is is basically a hillbilly version of the effect they put on Soundwave’s voice”. XD
It's weird that Frank Welker only had a few lines for Soundwave in the 1980's Transformers movie and that was before and after the attack on Autobot City.
1st time watching this and mouth wide open. Terrible. Even his lines are off. Script screwed up. Too much dialog. Before he was just a catch phrase King. Not sure what this garbage is. Shame on those idiots trying to sell more toys
When Soundwave and Blaster fought to the death, I'm surprised Galvatron didn't say "This reminds me of when I fought Optimus Prime when I was Megatron... Oh that was a bittersweet day..."
Actually, Ratbat and the autobot deployed mini cons debuted in the Japanese exclusive OVA Scramble city. Which shows the construction of Autobot city Metroplex and Decepticon city Trypticon.
xD 2:22, blaster wannabe... ok. ima guess that was a error when they made that! but imagine if it wasn't and megatron saw it! (or in this case, Galvatron.)
Soundwave my favorite Decepticon in The Transformers The Movie 1986 because Soundwave Voice is really scary and creepy and also Soundwave is The Voice Of Frank Welker he got a deep voice playing Soundwave it is really good 😆
The fact that Soundwave was the ONLY surviving (unchanged) member of the original cast of characters after the movie really shows how popular he was in the series.
i love how he cares so much about his casettes
Maybe they're his children but he doesn't want Megatron to know

benvolio15 just glad he didn't died in the 1986 film
Surviving the '86 Movie and still getting a speaking role is by no means a raw deal.
But he didnt survive at revenge of thr fallen :,(
They ruined that dude. Unbelievable how they basically killed the greatest cartoon ever
I basically stopped watching after the movie came out. Before I would stop what I was doing to watch that show and after they killed off half the characters I just threw in the towel. All to sell toys... Sell toys?

"That was heaven. The purest most vibrant and most perfect harmony that I've ever heard!"
I dunno why, I just LOVE that line, especially coming from Soundwave! ^-^
Because he says it so beautiful...
He's a boom box he knows music
No, Blaster/Twincast was the boombox. Soundwave/Soundblaster was a microcassette recorder, but the scale of the G1 cartoon never showed that, and they made it look like he was a regular cassette player. :-)
Freddyfan1428 Where was this scene from when Soundwave was talking about heaven?
@@PACNYY carnage in c minor. That episode alone has more animation errors than any other episode before or since
I love Soundwave's relationship with his cassettes and how even if only a couple get brought back for different reincarnations, the relationship remains the same.

Soundwave a walking army
1:36
BEST MOMENT OF THAT ENTIRE MOVIE!
How can he just let starscream throw megatron out after that?
Idk man, i've spent the last 6 years thinking the same thing
In the script Soundwave wanted to go back to find Megatron... then Starscream won the leadership fight
"First we break the shell then we crack the nuts inside" That sounds so wrong
Dirty minded.
@@idfk2294 Maybe Rumble or Frenzy meant testicles🤣
Soundwave's voice in Season 3 was beautiful. It's a pity he wasn't in a lot of episodes.
New toys to promote soundwave was only in season three to eject ratbat
His voice is the purest, most vibrant and most perfect harmony to be heard!
If SoundWave was leader the Decepticons every attack He carried out would Logical and Efficient to the letter! The Autobots would have serious problems!
Soundwave barely show strategy or personality. He is perfect for following orders not leading
Then let this be the order of Hiearchy: Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave. Sure, Soundwave is 3rd in command but he can always be temp leader when needed.
wtf ur like the dozen cat who said online...U cats do not know real TF....it Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, and then Soundwave order or throne.

I love this movie
especially when soundwave says "constructions inferior, soundwave superior"
Galvatron seemed quite upset by Soundwave's death O_O
Believe me, we ALL were..
Good soldiers like him are hard to find
3:35 ngl this variant sounds absolutely badass
Wish there had been more Soundwave vs Blaster and their cassettes battles.

Funny I was thinking today about sound wave at the red light.... Eject... Eject.... Eeeejjjjjeeecccctttt
1:52 I don't know what Soundwave was talking about but I have a feeling it was the voice actor going off character just for that one sentence LMAO 😂
Good lord. I heard it and said WTH is he talking about. Lol
Thought it was just me who noticed. They ruined this cartoon after original cartoon
When Soundwave sounded like Dr. Claw, I almost expected him to say "I'll get you next time, Gadget... Next time..."
Soundblaster: cute fellows! LOL
Just noticed at 2:53 the animation error where Blaster was supposed to be flying BEHIND Soundwave instead of in front. Really made me laugh!
Peskh BlEEster
Personal favorite. He was and always will be badass.
I love how even the Autobots have their version of Soundwave (Blaster), Like they need a minion summoner as well

Nearly every foreign-translation version of Soundwave tried to duplicate the vocal characteristics Welker gave him, with varying degrees of success.
3:06 to 3:07 - I see I was correct! It IS Frank Welker's "Dr. Claw"/"Cave of Wonders" voice! :D
I wonder how they missed filtering it there, though…

Its so adorable, Soundwave really cares deeply in his cassettes
0:47: Two Frenzies. G1 and animation errors go together like PB & J
The fact you used One from metallica and a mix of voice clips was pure magic
Soundwave is one out of three of my #1 favorite Frank Welker characters (the other two are Dr. Claw and the Cave of Wonders)!
Galvatron: "I'll crush you with my bare hands!"
Soundblaster: "You have my consent."
“No fear It’s probably a useless autobot weapon!” Fucking dies

I think that the season 3 Soundwave voice is the voice that was used as a base voice for Soundwave for the future and present.
This was like watching the final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron only it being between Soundwave and Blaster where both combatants died but were resurrected by they're charges the same looks but new bodies and new names.

When Soundwave and Blaster fought to the death, I'm surprised Galvatron didn't say "This reminds me of when I fought Optimus Prime when I was Megatron... Oh that was a bittersweet day..."

How they made that voice in that time…still a mystery!!
Actually, Ratbat and the autobot deployed mini cons debuted in the Japanese exclusive OVA Scramble city. Which shows the construction of Autobot city Metroplex and Decepticon city Trypticon.
soundwave + metallica = nice combination
The episode with the singing "Elfs" Soudwave more or less head a leading role.
But this was really the only episode that evolved around Soundwave.
I'm sure he'll make a comeback does anyone remember the first time seeing the transformers on television?
