Personality: Soundwave is not your typical Cybertronian and is a true mystery to all but who know him best. The first thing one notices about him is his cold demeanor, speaking in a synthesized monotonous voice. Aside from anger, Soundwave typically does not show emotion and only tends to speak in short sentences usually in the form of commands. This isn't to say that Soundwave doesn't feel emotion. He just prefers not to show it unless it's truly necessary. Instead Soundwave would much rather spy on others, and if he's not doing it himself then he sends one of the Cassettes to do the job and fill him in later. Many see Soundwave as simply using the Cassettes as tools, but in fact he sees them as his children. He cares deeply for Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Laserbeak, Ratbat and the others, and it absolutely killed him when one of them exploded when he tried to eject while low on energon. He very heavily mourned their loss, though he has not stated which Cassette it was. Though many hold their suspicions as they have only recently seen Soundwave with Frenzy, Ravage and Laserbeak. Out of all the Cassettes, Soundwave has the closest bond with Ravage. Don't tell the others.
Despite not voicing it clearly at times, Soundwave is a very avid speaker for the Decepticons and was one of the most loyal mech's at Megatron's side both before and during the war. However, that loyalty to his former leader has been replaced with an unshakable rage, wanting answers as to why Megatron abandoned the cause and the need to terminate him before he falls any deeper into the graces of the Autobots and G.H.O.S.T. He cannot stand what Megatron has become, and he has made absolute no secret of this to anyone.
Even outside the war, Soundwave is a lover of music particularly of the electronic genre. It truly speaks to him, and along with the recorded voices he copies Soundwave also has a habit of recording music to play either as a weapon or just when he's in the mood for it.

History: Soundwave is much older than most believe him to be. He was created back in the Age of Wrath, before the Golden Age had ever taken place. He had taken a seat on the Council ruled by Zeta Prime as one of the most vocal members of the group. However when the Age of Rust came about and contact with the colonies via space bridge was severed, Soundwave grew resentful of the other council members as they did not seem to have any interest in bettering things for the population of Cybertron. Calling out their need for talk and zero action, Soundwave abandoned the council and vowed never to speak with his true voice ever again opting for a monotonous synthesized one to which he would only speak minimally. Soundwave found himself within the confines of Kaon, joining the gladiator fights but keeping a watchful audial with the help of his minibots, the Cassettes, in order to better understand the gladiator's feelings when they believed themselves to be in private. Soundwave eventually joined the fights with his Cassettes and on one fateful day he was pitted against the newly named Megatron. He fought against the miner, nearly defeating him but in the end he was defeated himself. From that moment on, he and Megatron became fairly close friends.
Soundwave became one of the first to join the Decepticon movement, and was even there when Megatron pleaded his case before the council along with Orion Pax to help prove Megatron's point. However, when the favor was quickly shifted to Orion Pax the war officially began.
Effectively serving as Megatron's third in command in some regards, Soundwave worked as a spy in order to gain details about the Autobots and their plans either by invading a datanet or by sending one of the Cassettes (usually in the form of Ravage or Laserbeak) to do the work for him if he was needed elsewhere. Eventually the Autobots attempted to flee from Cybertron aboard the Ark, and the Decepticons followed behind on the Nemesis. Their chase led them to crash on the primitive Earth where both Decepticons and Autobots alike fell into stasis lock only to awaken on September 17, 1984 where the war resumed. Soundwave continued to serve as a spy for Megatron, but everything changed the moment that Megatron defected.
Megatron's betrayal hurt Soundwave deeply, and the fact that he and Optimus Prime worked together to destroy their only means home enraged him. Forced into retreating with his Cassettes, Soundwave has been on the move since the war's end desperately trying to keep enough energon both for himself and his small companions. However, he lost one of his Cassettes during a moment of being energon depraved and as he attempted to eject the Cassette they instead exploded. He vows to never let this happen again, but he also vows that Megatron will be terminated for his crimes.
