As a dotm fan,soundwave was probably the best part of it,the unique design and the fitting voice actor was the reason,and i like how they bring back the old g1 soundwave concepts for him but with a alt mod car,which make him even better,and dotm soundwave is one of my favourite bayverse characters after aoe crosshairs and drift and 2007 movie longarm and salvage,blackout and rotf breakaway and sideswipe,and great job as always,you are probably the best bayverse channel ever.

Now that I think about it, seems like they should've just given Soundwave his satellite form for the Africa scene, because even without the badge, you could guess Soundwave is the Mercedes or at least some random car.

Bay should have stated that SoundWave had several alt modes.

Something that stands out to me is that quote "Mercedes would never let us make their car an evil Decepticon" it's interesting cause at least to me, as a really young kid who related everything in my life to transformers movies, having a car as any character would instantly make it awesome, I didn't care if the Mercedes, the Saleen, the Jaguar, the Audi were the bad guys, I just cared that the specific car was a transformer, that was already enough to make me want these cars

No prisoners, only trophies. Probably Soundwave's best line in the whole movie

I feel bad for Michael Bay, because this movie would have felt 10x better if it weren't for the leaks. And this is why AOE and TLK barely had any comics/videogames/novels.

It would've been cool if Mirage fought Soundwave.

I wasn't a fan of Soundwave being something exotic like a Mercedes at first. But then the DotM toys came along. While the US pretty much never got the MechTech Deluxe class figure mold (both the original DotM and the very Soundblaster lookin' "Darkside Soundwave" repaint in Takara's AoE Movie Advanced line were apparently Japan-only), reviews from those lucky enough to have imported it show that it's a better toy than the RotF Soundwave...and a better design. Funny how about a decade later, Studio Series would do the exact same thing...except this time, the RotF Soundwave came out *AFTER* SS51 DotM Soundwave, and yet SS62 RotF Soundwave still got 💩 on (because it actually sucks). Speaking of the Human Alliance figure...now, isn't it just odd that the robot mode here is pretty much completely different from the original Deluxe? As if once again, the preliminary artwork took precedence over what became the final product for how the toy turned out. (This was apparently also done with DotM Megatron, Shockwave, and possibly both Voyager & Leader class Sentinel Prime)

"I understand, no prisoners only trophies" one the best kill quote in the Transformers

I like his DOTM look, the speaker disks on his forearms and at the sides of his chest feel like a nod to it being Soundwave, and I like the chest Design and positioning of the wheels on his back. I suppose if people are that much of a stickler for G1 inspiration, then the windshield could've been use on the chest to mimic his G1 self and I kinda wish they kept his ROTF head and gave him a blue color scheme. Other than that, i still think the satellite mode is brilliant, but the robot mode could've used some work.

Maybe Soundwave's vehicle mode was confusing for fans, one of which his vehicle was not revealed in the game, and his vehicle mode was shown in the comic and later did not reveal the Mercedes star logo. Maybe Bay wanted to confuse the audience and the fans of Soundwave. when Hasbro made Soundwave's toy mode, the fans thought his vehicle mode was the sls amg, but they decided to change the vehicle mode to a satellite due to licensing issues with Mercedes. that's my theory of Soundwave's vehicle mode.

"Soundwave superior. Autobots inferior." Where do you think that line could've fit in RTOF or DOTM?

Back at it Again With awesome transformer content

I always thought of his satellite form being a strike freedom+meteor unit kinda situation where it’s just bigger armor he’s hooked up too

That was a roller coaster of emotions and events.

funny speaking of the stunt drivers one thing the messed up in ROFT is that when the autobots are on the move you can see a guy driving OP

Honestly his alt for is the least of Soundwaves issues in the Bayverse.

I feel so bad for Michael Bay he went through all this effort to make what was ultimately a really good plot twist (I didn't see the leaks so I was surprised) but a bunch of other numbskulls

nice video man and I never knew this happened in my time as a movie fan. I just waited for the movies never went on sites for updates and such compare to now like with spiderman no way home. and I liked soundwave's car design cause it makes him look scary and threatning and kinda stands out compare to barricade and protoforms

The king has returned 🙏 In all seriousness though, great vid and keep up the work!

Hey trans, can you make a video on why Frenzy's head was fixed in ROTF despite his head got sliced in half in Transformers 2007?

Trans what are your thoughts on the latest reveal for Rise of the Beasts? We’re getting 16 transformers so far possibly over 20 since Decepticons haven’t been confirmed as to who’s all there. Which might hold the second or third largest named transformers cast in live Action with ROTF had like 20 or 25, DOTM had 20. Also can you do a Mirage/Dino name misconception, conspiracy whichever he would fall under?

Soundwave was actually considered for Transformers 2007

I haven't watched you for a while and your voice sounds different idk if u have a new mic or something but Im still loving the content keep it up!

I didn’t know that, I’m also curious about the previous ending for dotm. Hopefully that becomes a video

His look in dark of the moon is my personal favorite besides mirage

Thanks trans again for another one of your awesome videos!!

Could you do a video on what happened to the all spark shard that was used to revive megatron and the one which brought Jetfire back from his stasis lock

Aww. There's that glorious intro.

For some reason, in the DOTM game, Soundwave isn’t an SLS AMG but a fictional SUV despite the car parts shown on robot mode.

Great video as always, but I’ve been meaning to ask you Trans, how does Megatron’s consciousness survive after Optimus ripped his head off? was this bc when the allspark shard brought him back it made him some what immortal, bc the Fallen himself said it could never be destroyed, so I just thought it gave Megatron some of it’s power to him for his consciousness to be still active, I wanted to ask bc I’ve always been fascinated by it

Honestly, poor Bay. Dude was just trying to make a cool plot twist and a satisfying ending to the movie, but fans had to be a bunch of nosey jerks, and companies and studios kept accidentally leaking stuff. It’s like trying to do a magic trick, and everyone’s trying to figure out what will happen instead of just enjoying it.

Do why didnt bumblebee scan the same car as stinger

Finally the first episode has finally released!!!!!!

This bring back memories 2007 to 2013 was a great time to be a transformers fan. I remember reading the rising storm comic before the release of the movie I assume that soundwave was going to get the rotf Megatron treatment and tranform into his jet satellite and a vehicle much later on. Can you do a what if Arcee or jolt survive in the future?

It was unseen how Soundwave scaned his sls amg transformation.

I would love to see soundwave vs jazz

I love villains, decepticons. They all look cool with cyan and blue color schemee

i watched all of the bayformers this week (first time watching them) and i had no idea soundwave was the mercedes. it was a pretty nice twist, and im glad i didnt get it leaked.

I did notice that of the Mercedes logo disappeared in the Africa scene until he had that when he transform and kidnapped Carly I always fought the robot mode in Africa scene was his cybertron vehicle or the vehicle he had in the video game

What if Starscream joined the Autobots instead of the Decepticons in the film series? How would Revenge of the Fallen would’ve been like?

I really think the SLS AMG really did fit BayVerse soundwave. And other factors such as the voice, and the overall design I think really fit Soundwave. Another well done video, as always!

You are back with another amazing video

Great video, I had no idea that this even happened! Thanks for educating me.

Amazing video as always!

How can the transformers with airplane vehicle modes gain so much speed when they transform from sitting still?

I’m a big time soundwave and dotf fan this theory helped me understand bays soundwave more thanks!

I don't mind Soundwave having this alt mode. Three movies in it was high time Soundwave got hid hands dirty.

So your saying that the leak of Soundwave being a car actually changed the ending. Dylan will be killed instead of being arrested that lead to the events of Age of Extinction. I do know that Soundwave did appear in the Bumblebee movie. There is also the debate of why Unicron was Earth. I think there might be other plot twists in those Transformers movies. Let me know if you found them.

Bay must have been excited to have a secret deception as the car of the movies human heroes, and then stressed as hell when media outside his control indirectly almost spoiled the surprise multiple times. I’m surprised I never seen chatter on the video game’s sound wave surprise back then as transformers games were big for me. Personally I thought his satellite form was the most ominous though. Cool concept overall. Would have thought he’d become a larger road vehicle though considering the size of him in space.

Killer video mate!

i like the idea of Soundwave being under your nose all along like that. i'm still a bit disappointed that he had such a basic alternate mode (seriously, another bland sports car ?) but the reveal sort of makes up for it - even if i think the satellite form is the best reinterpretation of the character

Finally I can’t believe you finally made a new video

Great video bro and I have video recommendation could you please do a Bayverse timeline that includes the IDW Bayverse comics.

The best way they could've handled this was to use his rotf design for everything up until the movies release

keep it up the good work

Fun fact in my school vr game the codexs on cybertronian files any cybertronians ( goalius included) also shows there alt mode

Honestly the Mercedes fit Soundwave perfectly. I mean, come on, he's a spy keeping tabs on humans and he couldnt very well do that as a giant alien satellite jet thing, as badass as that mode is. What better way to spy on Carly than as just another fancy car in her boss's fancy car collection?

Dude, do a video about the Origins of Hound, Drift, & Crosshairs. And also the Origins of Canopy, Trench, Hot Rod or Bulldog.

As a kid I like DOTM more then ROTF but now I think like the ROTF design better

Amazing Theory Man 👏😄

Very interesting. I hope we are gonna get more of that.

Trans theories you should do another, “What if I survived Shockwave edition”. I think it would be a good episode!

Sound wave theory 🚘🤖

I had no idea about this when the movie came out as I was only about 12 at the time and didn’t really visit forums much. So, I actually really was surprised by the plot twist at the time

Thank you for telling me about the TRANSFORMERS stuff

Great video 😀

Well this video was really awesome

Been an long time now i thought you were never gonna upload which made me :( sad but now you uploaded😊 yey pls contiune pls

i havent watched u in a while and dang ur voice has changed XD.Great content and vid btw

Nice to see you back with more transformer theory’s, but i agree

Just realized that megatron and his crew literally died the same day and the same city their death locations are probably close to each other

That trick with the star may have deceived those who only played the DOTM video game since Soundwave transformed into a SUV instead of the car so the people who played it might have thought Soundwave would have still been the SUV until the plot twist

Awesome video

Awesome and amazing video Trans 💪👊🤩🐐, 💯keep it up I have a transformers Theory I think that if soundwave survived the events of dark of the moon I think his new vehicle mode would be a 2014 C63 AMG black series for age of extinction, also if soundwave survived that as well I think his new vehicle mode for the last knight would be a 2017 concept AMG one hypercar.

Obviously, his design in the video game was better than what he would look like in the movie. Because it does make him look badass, than just looking something fancy in disguise. Also, you should do a video about how the Decepticon Human Collaborators began, with Dylan’s father making contact with Soundwave, to shut down the Moon program. And what happened to the group after the battle of Chicago, along with Dylan’s death.

Perhaps you should talk about Soundwave's cut role from TF1 and His Original role in Revenge of the Fallen and His I-After-Mentioned Chevy Pickup

Hey trans I’m a big fan and I had a video idea so if you see this I would like you to make a video on what shockwave and the driller were doing during transformers 1 and rotf

I hope this gets notice Trans Theories. 1. Where is Colonel William Lenox in age of extinction and how is he back in TLK? 2. Where was Tessa in TLK? 3. Is Sam Alive (oh you did a video) Thank you bro, i just wanted to know!

Trans when are you planning on continuing weapons locker also you should do a 0.25x speed on TLK and a weapons locker on ratchets saw blade.

Great video

Anyone else notice how dotm is basically The Ultimate Doom from G1?

u uploaded this on my birthday :D

LETS GO FOR Sound wave !

Hey trans, you should check my green goblin vs megatron video, it’s amazing

omg another videooo finally trans its been a month

Yes you’re back after so long thought you were dead lol 😂

The DOTM game Soundwave was actually a Mercedes B Class with some sports accessories to make Soundwave appear to be an SLS in robot mode

Hey trans I have a question that has been bugging me In revenge of the fallen the crew on the sub that megaton destroyed are they died or alive I hope you can answer this

At first I didn't think much about his alt mode while watching the movie Back in 2013 but what I didn't know is how hell broke lose about his alt mode. Tho Michael bay was trying to keep it secret as possible no one suspected much in the film

Wow 👌 👏 good job 😉😉😉

Soundwave reporting lord Trans Theories

After 1 month finally new video 😅😅

hey trans can you make a video on what happend to daytrader and the origins of the primes love your video trans❤

The king has returned...

Nice vid.

Hey Trans this morning I remembered a question that I’ve had for a long time and that was what happened to galvatron and how did megatron return?

Oh yes the goat himself has posted😩 and yes when is the next vid posting

I never saw any of this so I was just as surprised

So pretty much a lot of sites attempted to leak soundwaves alt mode,which bay tried to stop it by using tricks, yeah, that wouldn't be easy . Also trans theories, don't you think you should make videos about some transformers shows beside bayverse? It might help the channel a bit?
