The very fact that his head was split in two is what makes him permanently dead. His
brain case is destroyed. That is universally fatal. You are also missing my point. It is
Soundwave that needs to be a boombox. End of story. No vehicle fits him. They are all too conspicuous or have nothing to do with his function or name which was based off of his alternate mode to begin with.

Seriously, man, in a movie series where everything in the modern world was supposedly backwards-engineered from an frozen robot found around 1910, which anybody could look in a history book & figure out to be complete BS....not to mention a human-sized robot, in broad view of everybody, hopping off of Air Force 1 after an attack & getting into a police car without anybody noticing......& you believe nothing other than a big-ass boombox could infiltrate the nearest power plant to steal its formula for anti-matter because anything other than that would be too noticable, that & his minions are useless anyway....aside from carrying him off(as if a giant robotic bird flying him out of the plant wouldn't be obvious enough)?
I think at this point, you're just grasping at straws....about 19 pages worth.....
Frenzy slpiied by the cops and such because
he made sure their backs were turned before moving. He used stealth. Also, how is a vehicle going to get
inside a building. It
can't It would have to remain
parked outside, which is counter-productive. By having a stereo alternate mode, a mode which fits either indoors or outdoors, Soundwave can work directly with his minions to complete theiur mission in the most efficient way possible.
Picture this scenerio: It's night time a small shadowy figure slips into an office building of some technology firm or something like that. The next day we see the office workers and techs going about their tasks, and while the camera pans around the building, it briefely pauses on a modular portable stereo on a shelf in a central location, a romote control on a near-by desk, a MP3 player with ear jack at a tech station further down the way, and maybe a cell phone in a lab on the other side of the building. These are Soundwave and his minions having just completed the first phase of their mission. We then see from the stereo's perspective and if seein things through his optics, the people milling about doing their business and data streams in from his minions and then sends a signal to each in turn, all the while recording what is occuring throughout the room. At the tech station, when no one is looking, the MP3 player transforms into Laserbeak (Booster X-10) and surreptisciously plugs himself into the computer before transfoming back to escape notice. The remote becomes Ravage who jacks into the secratary's computer and begins downloading other files before once again taking on his disguise. The cell phone becomes Rumble who sneaks around the lab to find their primary objective—some piece of tech they wish to steal. Upon finding it, he grabs it and gives the signal to Soundwave, who transfoms, growing to full size, ripping through the ceiling causing as much panic and destruction as possible and allowing his minions to slip away just as one of the other Decepticons (maybe Barricade) arrives in an alleyway. The minions get in, and they wait a few minutes while Soundwave completes his part of the mission, which maybe entailed abducting a key individual. He trows that person in Barricade and transforms back into stereo mode, shrinking down to the proper size before transforming back without mass converting, and climbing into Barricade as they drive off.
