| “ | High Guard, eject! | „ |
| ~ Soundwave commanding the High Guard. |
Soundwave is a supporting character in the 2024 animated film Transformers One. He was a member of Cybertron's High Guard, acting as one of Starscream's lieutenants, until he was defeated and overthrown by D-16. He and Shockwave then briefly assisted Orion Pax and Elita-1 in rescuing their captured comrades from Sentinel Prime's forces.
Following Sentinel Prime's death, Soundwave and the rest of the High Guard joined with D-16, having now named himself Megatron, and assisted in destroying Iacon, out of revenge for Sentinel's crimes. Eventually, he and the rest were banished from Iacon, in which they rechristened themselves as the Decepticons.
He is voiced by Jon Bailey, who also voiced Soundwave and Shockwave in the Transformers reboot films.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Soundwave acted as the High Guard's chief communicator, being able to detect if people are telling him the truth or lie with his sonic abilities. Between him, Starscream and Shockwave, he is shown to be the most level-headed of the three, often choosing to speak very rarely, only doing so when giving commands and fulfilling orders. When he allied with Orion Pax and Elita-1, he was the most receptive to Orion's ideas. Once Orion explains his plan, Soundwave immediately falls in line and orders the High Guard to do likewise, and asks Pax to give the Guard orders.
Though like his fellow High Guard, he shares their same sentiment towards Sentinel and seek to overthrow him for the crimes he's committed against them and Cybertron as a whole. Due to their common interests, Soundwave supports D-16 and his campaign of destroying everything that represents Sentinel and the Primes as a whole. As such, he was more than willing to take part in destroying Iacon with the rest of the High Guard, until they were banished for their crimes.

Trivia[]
- Soundwave's alternate mode is based on the flying transport mode of the Studio Series toy of his reboot film series counterpart.
- Soundwave's vow of silence is a trait carried over from his Aligned iteration.
- While most previous G1-styled Soundwaves are based on the original cartoon character model, this Soundwave instead draws more inspiration from the original G1 toy. As such, he has a yellow visor, his hips have black markings evocative of the toy's transformation hinges, and his general profile is much wider and more broad than the original cartoon design.
