I love Soundwave. He's my second favorite after Megatron. And my masterpiece Soundwave with cassettes gets delivered this week!

Was there a reissue or were you late? Either way good for you.

>>94128196

Reissue of the Hasbro release (ie: yellow eyes, all the cassettes) to Asian countries happened around Nov last year. Still available from a ton of US sites as SW is super popular so most ordered (and likely sold) a ton of the guy.

Welcome to the world of cross media representations. All of'em are still discussable on multiple boards because they exist in all of the media's appropriate to those boards.

>the three best Decepticons

Is it time to retire Megatron?

I'm serious. Other than the fact that he was the Big Bad of G1, what does he have going for him compared to the other major Decepticons?

In the last decade, the most interesting thing he's even done has been...giving up Decepticonism.

He hasn't even shown up in the most recent cartoon, which instead has used The Fallen, Starscream and currently Soundwave as their major villain.

And to listen to most fans, Megatron isn't even the best at being Megatron...the little purple t-rex gang leader who co-opted his name did a better job
>>
>>94132731
god I miss playing WFC escalation. ps4 version when?
>>
>>94133551
Megatron is all three's foils.

For Starscream, Megatron plays the role of level head and dominating force that Starscream must challenge himself to match up to, something he never succeeds in.

For Soundwave, Megatron is the director to his potential. For all that Soundwave is, he's not much of figure head, he has no affinity nor want for the spotlight. He prefers the number two position, and who better to be number two for than for someone who can make full use of his capabilities.

And for Shockwave, Megatron is the strong arm and the force behind his work. While Shockwave COULD lead the decepticons, he would find it more of a bother than a role he's made to fit, having little time for his work in the aftermath.

The three decepticons you mentioned are all made greater by Megatron's hand because he knows best how to utilize them. It's honestly Megatron's greatest skill, being a director of skills. Making the best use of every decepticons greatest potential, and making that their forefront, and it makes sense considering that Megatron's rebellion was all about not conforming to one's alt form's capabilities.

I'm sure you'll go on to correct me with examples of shit that you inferred his personality from, but literally everything Prime Soundwave ever did could have been accomplished by a mindless drone which was programmed to just do whatever Megatron says

Some of the Vehicons showed more character
>>
>>94133551

It still amazes me that megs keeps him around as the 2nd in command.
Especially in Prime.
>>
>>94127940
Is soundwave cool? Absolutely. Is he the best or even a great decepticon, not imho.
>>
>>94134748
>especially in Prime

To be fair, in Prime, he really didn't. He gave Starscream the boot, and replaced him with Airachnid and later Dreadwing.

Starscream only got his job back by grovelling back with presents and actually becoming a loyal underling
>>
>>94134748

Keeps who around, Screamer or Soundwave?
>>
>>94134735
>He also had no personality
This is Soundwave we're talking about....
Soundwave is supposed to not have a personality, that's practically his defining trait, he's supposed to be a cold robotic creep.

>but literally everything Prime Soundwave ever did could have been accomplished by a mindless drone which was programmed to just do whatever Megatron says
IIRC Soundwave beat the shit out of Airachnid and Wheeljack, don't think the drones could have done that
>>
>>94134930

Hell, he beat the entire Autobot team and kidnapped Ratchet singlehandedly.
>>
>>94128084
the art is already bad enough, you don't need to add captions
>>
>>94134930
>IRC Soundwave beat the shit out of Airachnid and Wheeljack

He did, but the conversation was about character and personality

"Fights good" is not characterization.

And as for your previous statement, having a dry personality is not the same as having NO personality, and it also discounts anything from the comics, in which Soundwave doesn't just spend his life saying "EJECT"

Prime SOundwave is the equivalent of Nightbird from the old G1 cartoon
>>
>>94133415
which one's frenzy and which's rumble again?
>>
>>94135093

Uh oh...
>>
>>94135077
I think the goal of Prime Soundwave was to be an intimidating and lurking presence that remained a very potent threat. The lack of character being a facade to hide his capabilities, i.e. when he was talked down to prior to jobbing Airachnid. Like a mute bodyguard.

it felt forced though. this kind of character needs to feel natural. Soundwave had no reason not to talk, besides "mute badasses are kewl" and then it's shown he can talk all along so why didn't he?
Does he have robo-autism or something?
>>
>>94135198

Intimidation. When he doesn't talk, you never know what he's thinking. What he's really doing.

He could be watching you at any time, and you wouldn't know.

Comics Soundwave often isn't Soundwave, may as well be a different character from the fan favorite known as Soundwave that we're discussing

Is there a recommended order to watch the shows? Either chronological, amount of production or overall quality?
After G1 season should i remain with American shows, follow the Japanese one or a mix of both (Japanese then American for example).

I would recommend watching all the American shows first, and then venturing into the Jap stuff if you really feel compelled to, as it tends to have a very different vibe

Just kind of how they did things, it should be noted that movie character showed up after the movie, so maybe you missed the movie?

The "best" explanation is that the Decepticons have a space bridge on earth so it's not hard for them to get reinforcements. S2 Autobots are alluded to be in stasis/not-configured and brought online until then.
Then new Post-movie characters in season 3 & 4 are stated in a PSA to have been fighting on cybertron since the ark disappeared.
>>
>>94138753
Yeah sometimes they just kind of show up, think of it as "they just got to Earth"

They had a lot of toys to sell and so it had a fairly large ensemble cast, it wasn't until Beast Wars that the idea of focusing on a small group of bots began

Go with the HC IDW books. The first covers the Megatron origin series and the first earth issues. And go in chronological order largely.

Mostly false. Ive read my fair share of IDW tf comics and nothing strikes me as particularly leftist. Maybe Megatron's vocationalist movement I'd vaguely left leaning but I could see a case that it's right leaning populist

I am angry, i really liked the Armada cartoon version of Starscream (so far i put his death in Armada as being as sad Optimus death in the G1 movie and Dinobot death) so i did not like what he in the rest of the Unicron trilogy.

Marvel: Lesser known than the show, but just as defining for the characters and setting. Sometimes silly, but that's not a bad thing

Dreamwave: Influenced a lot of stuff we see today and had some neat storylines, but was plagued by terrible art and terrible management.

IDW: Longest running, and thus has had its share of ups and downs. Main series is great, some fantastic unrelated miniseries and one shots. Made the movieverse make sense, when they were still doing comics for it.

Funpub: Some fun ideas, some fucking terrible ideas. Like with IDW, they dug deep for some of their references.

3H: Clusterfuck, but a fun one.

Devil's Due: Often forgotten, produced one of the better TF vs GI Joe series.

That was the intention, but it's not anymore. WFC/FOC canonically take place in a separate universe than Prime/RID2015.

Also, the Aligned WFC/FOC universe has a duplicate that's a G1-type alternate universe.

Personally I'm glad they decided to split them, never liked Prime that much and I very much don't care for RiD
