![]() It was the animated series that gave him the role of the Decepticons head of espionage, using his cassette player form to sneak into secret areas or using his cassettes to spy on people (The first episode revealed his Cybertronian alt mode was a lamppost right next to Autobot HQ). But this didn’t really make it into any of his depictions. His original bio made him a smooth talking backstabbing opportunistic robot. But fans began using the term mass displacement to explain such things and it was eventually incorporated as the canon term for such feats. Now in media they never gave an initial explanation for how a big robot could turn into a small object even though Soundwave was not alone in this, Megatron himself turning into a gun. Notably Soundwave’s head was used for the design of the Decepticon logo (now everyone is looking at the logo and Soundwave’s head going, aaahhh now I see it). ![]() There were other cassette bots that were sold separately including a red version of Buzzsaw called Laserbeak, a black panther called Ravage as well as other notable ones like Rumble, Frenzy and Ratbat. Soundwave Transformed into a cassette tape recorder and came packaged with a cassette robot Buzzsaw who turned from a tape into a yellow robotic bird. So the toy that became Soundwave became part of the opening line up for the Deceptions. Originally released as part of the Microchange line in Japan when it and Diaclone toys were imported into America as the original Transformers line, all things that drove on the ground were the opening lineup of Autobots and everything else were Decepticons. Here we look at that magnificent Transformer, Soundwave (who is superior). In the early days of the franchise one character from the first line up stood out above the rest, a unique look, a distinctive transformation and accessories.
