Two of the planet's survivors, Soundwave and Sideways, swore revenge henceforth.

The mighty Planet X ruled its universe with its advanced technology, only to meet its end at the hands of Gigantion when X's forces attempted to invade it. Smith (English), Garry Chalk (English, ' Giant'), Taketora (Japanese), Taitem Kusunoki (Japanese, ' Megalo Convoy of Gigalonia'), Ángel Amorós (Spain-Spanish), Luis Miguel Perez (Latin-American Spanish), Joonas Suominen (Finnish), Janusz Wituch (Polish) As such, Soundwave resolved to nab the Cyber Planet Keys, restore Planet X to its former glory, and take revenge on Gigantion. After his homeworld was destroyed in the war against Gigantion, Soundwave discovered in Unicron's records the existence of Primus and his Cyber Planet Keys. Rechristening Unicron's body as 'Planet X', its denizens found Unicron's memories and copied them into a medium of their own invention, and Soundwave acted as an administrator to this data. To compensate, the planet resurrected those who were absorbed by Unicron, including Soundwave. When the dark god's spark was absorbed by Megatron, the remaining body went awry in its regeneration functions in another space or universe. Soundwave was a Cybertronian Transformer who was absorbed by Unicron and integrated into his being. Revelations Part 5 When Cybertron itself transformed into Primus' robot mode, both Soundwave and Unicron opted to flee rather than face the planet-god. The two of them organized a Mini-Con civil war, spurring insurgents into attacking the Mini-Con Council of Sages, Revelations Part 4 then participated in the conflict itself when a few dimensional travelers joined the fray to put an end to it. Revelations Part 2 Revelations Part 3 Unicron (now the size of an average Transformer) returned to Cybertronian orbit and rejoined Soundwave. Unicron's lifeforce immediately sought out and entered the tiny planet Yst, which he perverted and destroyed from within, shaping it into his new body. But he did not let this minor detail impede his loyalty while Optimus Prime and Megatron's forces were busy searching for the Cyber Planet Keys, Soundwave and Laserbeak stole the fallen Nemesis Prime's Dead Matrix from the Archives on Cybertron and cast it into the Unicron Singularity, liberating the Chaos Bringer's essence. Unfortunately for Soundwave, Unicron was destroyed just as the end date of his servitude approached. Soundwave struck a deal with the Chaos Bringer: one million years of servitude in return for the assured destruction of Gigantion. Soundwave would end up succeeding in the millennia-long quest, tracing the Gigantion Mini-Cons' origins to his quarry: Unicron. Lore of an ancient, planet-devouring being brought them hope, and they split up across the universe in their search for it. Immediately after that catastrophic event, Planet X's surviving scholars pooled their knowledge in a search for some force which might bring the same fate to their hated enemies. When his home planet was destroyed in a war with Gigantion, Soundwave was one of a small handful of survivors who became fixated solely on revenge against the Giant Planet. He would infiltrate targeted planets and find important individuals and technologies to be dealt with.

When the world of technological marauders known only as Planet X was at the zenith of its power, Soundwave served as an information specialist. His mission is manipulating Autobot and Decepticon alike to get his revenge on the citizens of Gigantion.įiction Cartoon continuity Cybertron comic Despite the appearance these mannerisms give off, he's actually a very serious-minded and focused robot, far more than his fellow Planet X agent Sideways. The abilities of his companion Laserbeak only increase Soundwave's ability to confound and crush.Įven his speech seems to be geared towards throwing people off-balance though his tone is often a deadpan monotone (at least, when he's not impersonating someone else), his speech is that of a rave-club DJ, announcing loudly to 'all the bots in the hizzouse' that he's here to 'lay some science down on you all'. He also seems to be able to create illusions, though of limited duration, to further confuse his targets. His audio-altering abilities let him change his voice to sound like virtually anyone, or focus devastating sonic attacks. Soundwave is possibly Planet X's most physically intimidating warrior, but his true talent and the real threat comes from his 'mad skillz' at creating confusion. 'The rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.'
