interesting as long he has a robot mode well actually now that i think about i was going to say something bad about this pickup truck rumor but i remmeberd animated soundwave he was a car so if soundwave does be pickup truck this would be an upgrade to the new animated sopundwave in the series as long hes not big like ironhide ironhide is big in his truck mode i cant picture soundwave with tires like that something with a sporty look will do good with me.

i like the satilite idea very intersting how big is he going to be those space stilites are not very big at all so he could be same size as jazz if not smaller

Also, what would his minions, Laserbeak and Ravage, turn to then???

Cool.....
A movie Version Of Energron Shockblast

but seriously.......I do hope he have 2 alt mode like a communication truck as his second cause a satelite is not that much fun 2 play with (:|

Anyone notice we haven't actually seen very many confirmable Decepticon alt-modes?
I mean, where's the tanks and other military vehicles?
We've seen... what... Barricade? And that wasn't even on-set?

It seems like the Decepticons are going to be all CGI at this rate.
Like Megatron and his crotchface tank.
And, if this rumor is true, Soundwave and his satellite.

While it's a little too late for such speculations, I had sort of hoped that Soundwave would be something similar to his Animated version.
Perhaps not a Scion per se, but a rather boxy car with speakers and subwoofers out the yin-yang.
(Wait... do Transformers have a yin-yang? I think Bumblebee did in the first Bay movie.)

In any case, satellite could work.
That just leaves me wondering what Ravage's alt-mode is, though...
Is Ravage going to transform into solar panel wings?

Not necessarily true. I've heard it rumored that Soundwave will be a satellite in his Cybertronian mode, but will be a pickup truck when he comes to earth. The satellite I can deal with, but a pickup truck?

The one thing that really discredits that second part of the rumor is that no "pick up truck" has been seen on set. All the other vehicles have though.

Which suggests to me tha the new Decepticons may not bother with Earth alt modes as they're only there to fight anyway.

But hey, im sure HASBRO will find "Earth modes" for them all to make new toys, or even worse, an Ironhide repaint. *Shutters* #-o

The other part that discredits the rumor is that the leak is from an anonymous source.

Transformers 2 isn't Watergate. I'll believe it when I read something that has substance.

If Soundwave become a Satelite, this doesn't leave out the possibility of Unicron on TF3. Imagine absolute chaos forcing both Autobots and Decepticons having to fight a mutual enemy.

But back to Soundwave. Interesting Alt mode. I don't think we'll see him change one he reaches earth, I just think he'll stay in Bot mode. Plus with the massive size of a satelite, he could have many minions.

Except sources are kept anonymous to protect the person leaking the info. The source is not "anonymous" to members of the staff.

If we told you who was telling us this, then he/she would get in trouble and then we wouldn't get anything. It's either info from an anonymous source, or no info at all.

Soundwave's bot mode is going to be HUGE.

Sat Oct 11, 2008 12:15 pm

I don't like it, he's either going to stay in space the whole time which gives him no reason to transform. Or he'll come to earth and have to stay in robot mode because a satalite is neither mobile nor a disguise. I like the comm truck idea, it works to keep him hidden and sticks to his comunications role.

Nice.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Oct 11, 2008 12:40 pm

Why couldn't they make Soundwave transform into this?

Sat Oct 11, 2008 1:15 pm

Not sure what to think of this....

A sattelite would suit soundwave's profile as communications/intelligence officer..... but it WOULD mean that on earth he would have to remain in robotmode without any disquize
And he wouldt have to be able to fly in robotmode to get around/get to and from earth, something we havent seen in bayformers yet....

The idea of a triple-changer springs to mind?

Sat Oct 11, 2008 1:34 pm

Makes sense...

Sat Oct 11, 2008 1:51 pm

I'm fine with that.

Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:13 pm

My theory...

hes a triple changer like energon shockblast

i just hope to god if he is a triple changer its something like a jet instead of a "crappy" tank, maybe a space shutle or something but i wouldn't mind some like his mode in the cybertron cartoon, his toy was awesome in my opinion (i have the universe blaster repaint)

and oddly enough i can live with the satelite, IF he transformers into something else aswell *cross's fingers in hopes of a super cool stealh jet mode*

Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:39 pm

Not bad but how is he going to travel when on earth?

Soundwave's a Satellite? ...But there's no sound in the vacuum of space?

Fail

I'm being completely honest with this response

No offense, but are you retarded?

And to whoever responded to my post of "what will Ravage and Laserbaek be then?", saying "explosions", lol, makes sense with Bay as director

Why exactly is it 'retarded' for someone to point-out the irony in a character named 'Soundwave' turning into a communications satellite and floating in space where soundwaves, literally, can't travel?

its called a joke, i apologize.

at first I thought he meant that satellites cant "communicate" with things on earth.

I see his point now

But seriously, a PICK-UP TRUCK?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
