Soundwave Rises From the Fallen

Soundwave

Remember in the Transformers cartoon that Soundwave transformed into this awesome 80’s ghetto blaster? Yeah. Well, that’s way too retro for Michael Bay. So for the Transformers sequel, Rise of the Fallen, Soundwave transforms into a… um… clawing doom jet of clawy doom?

Of course, this is Soundwave’s Cybertronian form. You’ll recall that Optimus Prime’s Cybertronian form looked like a giant metal sperm before he got pimped out at West Coast Customs as a big rig. So there’s no telling what Soundwave’s pimped out ride form will be or even if he’ll get one. Or if I’ll even watch this.

Who am I kidding. I’m fucking watching this. Grudgingly. *sob*

    Ghetto blaster? I think you mean SHOCKwave. SOUNDwave transformed into a tape deck.

    Check out these awesome fan made videos starring Soundwave. He’s just too popular not to put into the movie!

    You must not be remembering that in the 80’s a ghetto blaster was a tape deck, not an actual blaster.

    Overall I think Bay ruined Transformers for another generation (you may not know it, but a crappy series of cartoons were made way before the new movie) and this is nothing but a continuation of that.

    It may not be the best of stories (stranded on a strange planet with your enemies and having native allies), but it was an entertaining story that deserves more than having FORD slap it’s logo onto everything or a megolomaniac of a director just making action scenes with as much pryo possible.

    Had they kept it closer to the cartoon’s it would have been successful. Parents who grew up with transformers would have dragged their kids along and people like me in their early 20s who remember transformers would have gone and seen it without question, but Bay ruined that, like everything else he touches that turns into a pryotechnics / big army showcase.

    It wasn’t actually a sperm shape. It was actually a tear drop shape. If you have a reaction less drive (where you don’t need thrusters) and can shape your hull like anything you want then a tear drop is the most aerodynamically efficient. Well for sub-sonic any way. If you assume he was going fast enough to treat interstellar hydrogen as a fluid it would make sense.

    It was actually GM that slapped their logo on everything (if you’re talking about the movie). A friend of a friend helped design the cars that the Transformers pimped themselves into.

    I’ll be honest, I didn’t mind the designs of the transformers from the movie but Soundwave was always one of my favorites and this makes me wanna cry. What is he gonna transform into on earth, a conveyor belt!?

    If we’re lucky, Bay will turn him into something like an SR-71 or stealth bomber, and shoot missiles that turn into Ravage, Lazerbeak et al. That’s if we’re lucky.
