HOLY TAPE CASSETTE BATMAN!!! SOUNDWAVE IN TF2!!!

Of course he is. He'll replace Frenzy and look exactly like him.

But seriously, if they make him cool, I'm saying that's great news!

I JUST C@*%@ED MYSELF

Well what's important is that we get the news out to the rest of Siebertron, and now it's on the front page.

..well, i guess not. First Gen already put it up.

With Soundwave(and possibly Ravage) in TF2, it's practically confirmed to be badass, I hope that they can get Frank Welker to voice him though.

Oh and thanks Mr. Questioner...

Q: Transformers is beloved by a lot of people, but it's kind of a kitschy property in the minds of some people. Star Trek is the holy grail. How big a responsibility was it taking that on?

Well, a lot of TF fans think ST is kitschy too...

Star Trek is the hold grail only because there has yet to be one done right in my opinion. I don't know about it being the grail, I would say if there was a next Star Wars movie that would be the holy grail.

And until Star Trek beats TF numbers in sales, I'm sticking with TFs.

If there was anyone I was expecting, it was Soundwave.

oooo, im so excited!!

This is fantastic news, however obvious it was. Soundwave has a huge following...

YES!!!!

Now THIS will be a good movie!

Not looking foward to it. Soundwave is my 2nd favorite Transformer of all time and it pisses me off every time they try and bring him back. They never do it right and im sure this will be no different. But then again maybe they'll actually listen to us fans and get it right. But its bay were talking about so i doubt it.

Was there ever any doubt?

Was there ever any doubt? Most of us knew he'd be in it... The big question is "what will his alt mode be"?

Now if only our good friend Mr. Orci can confirm the presence of a certain pink motorbike...

EDIT: Oh, and it's Roberto Orci, not Robert. I fixed it for you in the original post, but for some reason I can't change it in the news story... (Maybe since I'm taking a break from the news, my access to the admin page is limited).

Could you fix that up for me First Gen?

1. I doubt every word of everybody regarding movie 2 until it is out or at least pics are out

2. They can allways make Soundwave the Aircraft Carrier or something other enormously not-Soundwave robot

3. Hurray!

Thats freakin AWSOME!






Maybe there is a God. . . .

Good looking out man. I totally missed that and I know darn well his name is Roberto. You need to hurry off your break man, I need your guidance.

They just need Omega Supreme now

My day just got alot better!

i couldnt read it to much crap about star trek. i dont think star trek could hold a candle to todays transformer fan base. i can tell you there are probably more star trek movies out there than vampire movies
if not it seems that way and i dont think i have ever had a convo with any one telling me i how great it was. i hate hollywood and what they do with things that could be a great movie i do think a quinton directed transformers would rock it would not be great but better than transformers peeing on people and stumbling into powerlines.

Oh hells ya!!! I hope Welker is gonna voice him too!

I know it's been done already but now...

Frank Welker for Soundwave!!!

Yes he can't do Megatron anymore but if he can still do his monotone Dr. Claw voice and they do the proper amplificaitons to make it like the Soundwave voice, it should be fine. Yes, anyone can pull off the Dr. Claw voice, but try doing it wihtout making any tones. It's not that easy.

It's a lie.


There is no Transformers 2. Michael Bay says so!

I give it ten minutes before he comes on and says Soundwave isn't in the movie.

I am sooo slagging happy right now!

Not so much with the news about Soundwave, as I'm very cautiously optimistic about how they'll "do" him.

I'm happy about the promise of more TF screentime!

It has been about a year now since TF:1 and in trying to nail down what made it not "stick to my spark" I have finally come to a conclusion. I feel no emotional investment in the TFs. There was way too much human character developement, some for squishies we won't even see in sequels or didn't even need to be there. On the other side, I felt almost no character development at all for any of the Transformers. For all the fancy, intricate physical design that went in to the movie-verse TFs, they came out as very flat. I don't feel like I got to know them at all.

Looks like things will change!

Bay here...it's all a lie!
Soundwave will not be in transformers 2
M.

I think we all knew SW was coming but nevertheless it's good to hear. It was also good to read that there will be more transformer time in the movie which probably means more Starscream time. TF is already in my top 6 or so movies of all time. I think this one can easily be my #1 now.

Cool.
But, no Dinobots?

I hope Soundwave will retain the voice and the stone-cold personality.

It will be fun to see ravage is a canine. Or some silent stealthy animal figure. (Please not the weirdo Frenzy type.)

Misinformation or the truth? I hope the latter.

As long as he has something looking like a tape door chest, has that no emotion personality like in G1, he has a sholder cannon, he's mostly blue with a red/yellow visor, and they use a Vocoder . Why? All Soundwaves have these, even Animated Soundwave. (excluding that mutant crocabat thingy from Beast Wars, he has no conection to our favorite communication officer's heritage anyways )

Actually, if they DO use a vocoder, Frank may reprise his role as not only Soundwave, but Soundwave's cassetes ( he voiced all of them. Seriously! http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Frank_Welker ), and maybe even take back his almighty post of the voice of Megatron/Galvatron! (Megs HAS to be revived as either of 'em somehow, and who says that, movie wise, Meg's voice couldn't have been aged/damaged, as per Bay's comment on NOT using Welker in the first movie?).

(in megatron BW voice):Yes....

BEST....NEWS....EVER!!!!!!!! Soundwave is my fav. Decepticon! And to hear that he will now be in the sequel, I am officially geeked!

But, wasn't Cybertron Soundwave some sort of hip-hop DJ?
I watched Galaxy Force, thus sparing me the Agony of the "Accent Show" that was Cybertron.

What alt form could Soundwave have that can carry Ravage around?

How will he be different from Barricade-Frenzy and Blackout-Scorponok tandem?

Cool news, but I won't believe it until we see it.

on behave of all TF fans i announce that this movie will be BADASS!!!! bravo mr bay, bravo

Sweet!

What about Soundwave being a Balkan MK6 Audio Surveillance Van. I think it would help support the notion of his character. There was a very cool-looking piece of movie Soundwave fan art of him as a Balkan Mk6 circulating its way around the world wide web. I don't know where it is, and I probably wouldn't have permission to post it.

I think that this thread proves the huge fanbase that Soundwave has. Okay, for the first movie:Bumblebee, Prime, Megatron... those were obvious choices and we payed good money to see them.

If they don't put Soundwave on this movie, they'd be losing a great business opportunity.

I'm gonna take the stance of "I believe it when I see it." After all, Soundwave was planned for the first movie, and they eventually dropped him.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG(i could do that forever)!!!!!! I AM LIKE THE BIGGEST SOUNDWAVE FAN!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!SOUNDWAVE!!!!!! IN TF2!!!!!!WOO HOO!!!!!

YES!!! there is a God! I can't wait to see some pics.

Good piont. We shouldn't be too happy yet.

NuclearConvoy wrote:But, wasn't Cybertron Soundwave some sort of hip-hop DJ?

Yeah, but his voice actor used a vocoder for him in Cybertron (read about it, checked it out in some 10 sec clip of him talking to sideways and hated it, but it was a vocoder I believe), plus he had everything else on my list.

Auto Bot wrote:What alt form could Soundwave have that can carry Ravage around?

1. What about a SWAT van? It's big, oversized, and could hold any minions given to Soundwave in the movie if Bay is still fixed on that 'no size changing' crud (he actually violated that in the first film when frenzy's head turns into the cellphone)

2. It's Soundwave, he's the original "minions from body" decepticon. Plus Frenzy and Blackout are "dead" and chances of returning are low for them I think.

Truth, I have known this for a while now.

I expected as much, but it's still great news.

OMG JOYGASIM!

I'll agree that it is awesome that Soundwave will be in the movie, but I hold judgement on TF2 being awesome just b/c Soundwave is said to be in it. I'll hold that type of judgement after I hear reliable information concerning the movie plot and or story. Still....

Soundwave in TF2 is awwwweeeeeesooooome!

Lets hope they don't screw him up like Cybertron, and Animated did.

Excelent, Soundwave is my favorite Transformer . I just hope they'll actually bring out the character and not just the name... And I hope they'll give him a good look that resembles his G1 look (colors, face) and his original voice done by Frank Welker. And his original voice fits extremelly well in the movie, so I hope Mr.Bay won't come to us full of BS again.
