Soundwave is a powerhouse and an enigma and we don't talk about it enough so i'mma just gonna make a compilation of "how the hell did he do that" and "what the hell is he" moments that i've managed to find from across several transformers continuities

first off is from the first IDW comic continuity

this is never explained, so i can only assume its because soundwave is technically an outlier but i haven't seen a panel that shows other outliers having "off the scale" readings, whatever that means.

and then in the last moments of this continuity he sacrifices himself to save the universe/earth by using his outlier ability along with the enigma of combination to essentially connect the dead to the living in the entire galaxy for a hot minute . idk how the hell he did that or how he knew to do that, my money is on bad writing but i digress.

next up Transformers Prime

tfp fans: elaborate on that. tfp writers: no. transformers prime soundwave is definitely a powerhouse and an enigma for several reasons but number one is this god damn scene with ratchet exclaiming soundwave isn't your standard cybertronian and then to my frustration the show refuses to explain why.

also he can open portals. the only explanation for that is in the novels where he actually was part of the invention of spacebridge technology. i guess he could've incorporated that into himself, which frankly is kinda unheard of in of itself. but still I feel inclined to tell him that skywarp called and they want their powers back.

Next, we have the game Transformers: fall of cybertron. where he scavenges together all of megatrons parts and puts him back together which, yeah sure why not? it's essentially like putting a corpse back together but then he just REVIVES HIM??

with his mind completely intact despite having been decimated by Metroplex and being dead for several hours. excuse me sir but that shouldn't be possible. I guess I could just chop it up to the writers being a bit loosey goosey with their own rules for the world but it's still quite a feat. but thinking back to G1 where he did the same thing with skyfire I guess they assumed it's just something he can do?

although skyfire's revival was a bit more reasonable considering he was still in one piece and frozen solid which they explained to be the reason as to why he was kept intact. but I'm assuming that's why the writers were like "well let's just have him do the same thing for megatron" and everyone was like yeah okay why not. also like a lot of things in G1 this inbuilt high voltage canon/defibrillator is never brought up again which is hilarious and par for the course for G1.

there are several more moments throughout all the tf continuities where soundwave just does something inexplicable but these are a some of the moments that stuck out to me the most. I welcome others to add onto this post if they wish. because I'm sure I've missed some "how the hell did he do that" moments that would be a shame not to bring up.

wait its literally the meme

This panel always fucking gets me. Ravage just casually saying they'll ditch Galvatron the moment Megatron wants to come back like the dude's just a rebound asdfghjkl

The Autobots are always praised for their loyalty to Optimus but the Decepticons were the OG dickriders like don't even get me started on Tarn saying he'll stop beating the shit out of Megs if he returns to them and oh, oh, those Decepticons who tried to free Megs during his trial and Soundwave keeping an eye (cat) on him in case he's brainwashed. If Dying of the Light went on alternate route and Megatron got fed up with the scattered Decepticons' bs he'd just take command again and they would drop whatever the fuck they were doing to see what is quite literally the second coming of transformers jesus

#nah fr he coulda done so much more if he’d just stayed a deception and been a better person #megatron #transformers #Idw #ravage

Them: Why do you love Shockwave so much?

Me: *hands them this post*

“One other possessed a vision so unique, so perfect…”

“…A vision so singular, that he could never belong with us.”

Soundwave is so babygirl

My first thought was, “Drift? He’s a bit out of place, isn’t he?”

But then it hit me-

Every single one of the characters up there plays an important part in erasing old lines and factions.

Every single one took a significant step toward peace.

Remember when people got mad at me when I said “if you can’t even name 10 trans men activists from the 1980s-2010s I don’t think any of your takes about trans men and our experiences have any value imo. Especially if you aren’t a trans man.” And then people got mad at me?? Like damn sorry I expect people to know a little history before they talk about a group of people .

when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.

The phrase "Astarion, you ignorant slut" entered my mind a week ago and hasn't left since and that's the only reason this exists.
