Editing Soundwave (Transformers) (section)

===Other media===

====Comic books====
In issue #4 of ''Transformers: Defiance'', it is revealed that the reason for Soundwave to have been believed to be dead is because he was on the Decepticons ship that ''The Fallen'' was commanding, and that all of its crew were missing by the time Megatron noticed the emergency signal emitting from the ship while he was chasing the Allspark.

Soundwave first appeared in issue #2 of ''[[Transformers: Alliance]]'', where he arrived at the crash site of the ''Nemesis'' on Mars. There, he found [[Dreadwing]]'s head, as well as the body of Frenzy, then contacted Starscream and told him to rally at his signal. Starscream was surprised to hear from Soundwave, as he had been believed dead for years. Soundwave deployed a number of his forces on Earth, leaving others on his ship.

In ''Tales of the Fallen'' #5, Soundwave, still in orbit after the events of the 2009 film, notices someone has reactivated Ravage.

Soundwave appears in ''Transformers: Nefarious'' #1, set months after the events of the 2009 film. [[Bumblebee (other incarnations)|Bumblebee]], [[Breakaway (Transformers)|Breakaway]], [[Jolt (Transformers)|Jolt]], Knock Out and [[Dune Runner]] are sent to investigate spark fragments detected at Kingdom Petrochemicals. Arriving first, Breakaway is warned by Soundwave to leave, but unwilling to give in the Autobot is swiftly defeated. Bumblebee and his team fire on Soundwave, who escapes. In "Nefarious" #2, Soundwave sent [[Dirt Boss]], Reverb, and [[Brakedown]] to Wendover, Utah, to find an "Initiative" facility. Soundwave then contacted Ravage in order to discover how he was resurrected. Then, he proceeded to assist Reverb, Dirt Boss, and Brakedown in a fight with the Autobots. After a battle with Optimus Prime, Soundwave convinces the Autobot leader to join forces temporarily, in order to find "the Initiative".

====Novels====
In the ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' coloring book, Soundwave is depicted hacking into a military satellite.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/revenge-of-the-fallen-coloring-book-preview-167057/ |title=Revenge Of The Fallen Coloring Book Preview - Transformers News |publisher=Tfw2005.com |date=2009-03-13 |access-date=2010-04-27}}</ref>

====Television====
In ''Cyber Missions #1'', Soundwave successfully infiltrates the NEST command base (in his satellite mode), which is guarded by Bumblebee. Soundwave transforms and smashes the screen projecting Optimus Prime and engages the Autobot. Bumblebee fires a shot, but Soundwave sends it back to Bumblebee as a sonic boom. Bumblebee then fires several more rounds with Soundwave frantically trying to absorb all the bullets, but finally being blown backwards. In ''Cyber Missions #2'', Bumblebee trapped Soundwave in a vacuum-sealed electromagnetic bubble, rendering his abilities useless.

====Video games====
Like in the movie, Soundwave coordinates the mission to the playable Decepticon. His voice is now in a similar Vocoder fashion to his G1 counterpart.

In Dark of the Moon, Soundwave is a playable character. He is ordered by Megatron to destroy a Sector 7 nest base that contains information about Sentinel Prime. Soundwave is among the Decepticons that greet Shockwave at the end of the game in South Africa. He shows Shockwave a 3D hologram of Chernobyl and the artifact he must recover. He transforms into a Modified white SUV similar to a [[Cadillac SRX]].

In the [[Nintendo DS]] game ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Decepticons|Revenge of the Fallen: Decepticons]]'', Grindor, Sideways, Soundwave and Starscream greet a new Decepticon protoform and send him on a mission. Soundwave directs the new protoform to survive on Earth.

In the downloadable content pack for the Xbox 360 and PS3, Soundwave is confirmed to be a playable character. He is probably based on the Deluxe toy.

In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (video game)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Stealth Force Edition]]'' for the Wii and 3DS, Soundwave is a playable character, and (like with the PS3/360 version), he transforms into a heavily modified [[Cadillac SRX]]

In ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'', Soundwave is a playable character taking the alternate form of a cybertronian truck. He is playable in levels 3, 4 and 5 of the Decepticon campaign and is a boss that players have to fight in the Autobot level 2. Like all the characters within the game, he is playable in escalation mode, and players have to have their Decepticon leader look like him in multiplayer mode. In the game his default weapon is a neutron assault rifle, although he does have an energon repair ray in level 5 of the Decepticon campaign.
