;''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''

A playable character in the last three chapters of the Decepticon campaign. While [[Shockwave (Transformers)#Transformers: Prime|Shockwave]] is established as [[Megatron (Transformers)#Transformers: Prime|Megatron]]'s [[second-in-command]], Soundwave is shown acting as Megatron's right hand during the campaign in Shockwave's absence.

Soundwave assists Megatron and Breakdown into infiltrating Iacon, defeating Zeta Prime, and hunting down Omega Supreme. He is also a boss in the Autobot campaign, being the warden of Kaon Prison in the Decepticons' capital city and using his tape cassettes Frenzy, Rumble and Laserbeak to attack. The Autobots manage to defeat him, but not before he delivers a fatal blow to Zeta Prime, absorbing what remained of his life force energy in order to regenerate his own strength, and then managing to escape before Optimus can finish him.

Aside from transforming into a Cybertronian truck, Soundwave can also turn into a [[boombox]], as shown right before his boss battle, in the game's ending credits and a [[GameStop]] promotional commercial for the game featuring Shockwave.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtyYt7oRMhs GameSpot Video Transformers War for Cybertron Storyline Movie2.flv - YouTube<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In this mode, he plays the [[Stan Bush]] songs "[[The Touch (Stan Bush song)|The Touch]]" and "Till All Are One".

In this sequel to ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'', Soundwave is playable in two levels. The first time is in Chapter 9 in which he rebuilds Megatron after he was destroyed by Metroplex. The other level is the final one, in which Soundwave boards the ''Ark'' and helps destroy the Ark's defenses. Rumble and [[Laserbeak]] assist Soundwave in these tasks. He pops up throughout the rest of the game as an NPC.
