Editing Soundwave (Transformers) (section)

==Transformers: Timelines (Shattered Glass)==
This Soundwave is an alternate good version of the Generation 1 character from the BotCon exclusive "Shattered Glass" comic, in which the Decepticons are on the side of good and the Autobots on the side of evil. His appearance is based on the white music label Soundwave MP3 player, while Buzzsaw seems to be based on Steeljaw in appearance.

===Fun Publications===
Soundwave first appears as a member of Megatron's forces in the ''Transformers: Timelines'' story "Shattered Glass" by [[Fun Publications]]. He helps in the attack on the Autobots' Ark launching platform, working with Buzzsaw.

Soundwave makes a cameo in the fiction "[[Dungeons & Dinobots]]", a text-based story. When the Autobots are gaining the advantage in an attack on the Arch-Ayr fuel dump he calls in the Mayhem Suppression Squad to help the Decepticons.<ref>{{cite book|author=S.

Soundwave is spotlighted in the story ''The Desert Heat!''. In this story, having crashed to Earth in an escape pod, Heatwave recovers Soundwave and helps his fellow Decepticon get back online and assume an Earth-style alternate mode.<ref>{{Cite web| title=The Desert Heat | format=JPG | url=http://www.transformersclub.com/_images/DHpage1.jpg | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110210203746/http://transformersclub.com/_images/DHpage1.jpg | archive-date=2011-02-10}}</ref>

Soundwave appears in the story ''Eye in the Sky''. Cliffjumper, Crasher, Frenzy, Heatwave, Ravage and Soundwave are sent on a mission to [[Burpleson Air Force Base]] to stop the Autobots from controlling the GODS defense system. Heatwave uses his powers to convince the GODS transmitter to fire the weapon on itself and stop the Autobots from taking control.

Soundwave is spotlighted in the story ''Blitzwing Bop''. The Elite Guardsman Thunderwing intercepts a radio signal from Earth which mentions Soundwave. Finding Soundwave is wanted for a minor offense from long ago he heads to Earth. Thunderwing finds Soundwave involved in a battle with the Autobot [[Blaster (Transformers)|Blaster]] for the possession of the malfunctioning Decepticon Blitzwing. Although not interested in the dispute, Soundwave convinces Thunderwing that he cannot leave Earth for trial on Cybertron until his commanding officer can be notified, and the only way to get Starscream online is to rescue Blitzwing. Thunderwing is still unwilling to take sides in the battle against Blaster, merely following the Decepticon, but Soundwave tricks Blaster into mentioning a crime he committed on Cybertron while Thunderwing is nearby. Thunderwing immediately goes into arrest mode and tries to capture Blaster, but Blaster escapes in a malfunctioning Stellar Spanner. With Starscream back online, Soundwave confesses to his minor crimes and Thunderwing passes a sentence of community service on him.

===Toys===
An official toy exists, as part of the SG Blaster Vs SG Soundwave box-set, and is a repaint of the G1 Soundblaster toy (itself, a retool of the G1 Soundwave toy). In addition, the white Music Label Soundwave figure matches his colors almost exactly, save for the Decepticon symbol on his chest, and has been officially repurposed as one of this character's forms.
