When ST fans interpret every antagonistic character to be a child molester for some reason

Cbv soundwave?

First impression: NOT that much into the promo images of him not gonna lie, he looked... different. in a weird way. Obviously that changed when we actually saw him in the show. But still he was... different.

Impression now: KING KING KING 💙👑💙 legit my new favorite soundwave from all continuities, good design, good voice, sexy character AND sexy character development. He's a bitch, he's mean, he's a jock. He wasn't opposed to change. He's perfect. I have a new standard. I wanna see my man this instant.

Favorite moment: you see him there and there is s1 and then the show hit you with Soundwave Dance. I could legit cite most of his moments in s2. and s3. and s4 too goddamn. Remember when he took down a quintesson prosecutor with his bare hands and then played his own victory music? And when he said "feel the wave" during a literal beatboxing match? fuck it Im gonna mention everytime he did The Big Steppy. I love him so so so much💙 HIS FUCKING LAUGH WITH THE CLOWN MUSIC IN SECRET SCIENCE

Idea for a story: silly fix-it idea I had where after his final stunt he gets stuck, in true soundwave fashion, in another dimension and after a while when he gets enough strength back, he manages to send one (1) signal to someone on the other dimension, roddy and shadowstriker intercept it and after silly shenanigans, they and the entire population of cybertron bring him back. IMMEDIATELY after that, roddy and shadowstriker question him over WHO he send it to and you get the feeling its an argument theyve had all while looking for him. He reveals it was for laserbeak who has been with them at the time. And then he pass out while hearing his friends' laughter. Thats idea 1, idea 2 is a bit more canon-conforming (OR just ignores the final ep completely) and is all about Soundwave's Cyberverse Pining Adventures from the beginning of the wall-era all the way to after the new peace treaty. I affectionately call it "Go For It, Soundwave!!!"😊. Idea 3 is just... random "slow" moments if the quintesson arc had been slower paced. Like for some reason after learning about the scientist they cant go immediately looking for him and have to wait for a minute and its just the 6 + Mac having to hang out and theyre all together because since roddy beat him, clobber and dead end dont feel like they should stick to soundwave like in the beginning of the prisoner. And he stays away and its not getting to him to see them all together but also yeah it does. Because hes glitching and its scary and he hates that hes scared.

Unpopular opinion: said it before but I kinda like when he's just... a guy with a bird. I think the best part of cyb soundwave is the personality he has for once, and adding the cassettes wouldve taken away a bit from that I think. would not have been completely against cyb ravage tho.

Favorite relationship: AT NUMBER 4 WE HAVE: with laserbeak, a man and his bird can be so personal. AT NUMBER 3 WE HAVE: with shockwave, I love when characters hate each other equally and in such a petty way, especially when theyre both favs of mine. AT NUMBER 2: shadowstriker. listen, it's always a treat when decepticons gets along, and it's such a... natural relationship too. They dont really feel forced, they just spend a lot of time together and you can just feel the familiarity wittout them needing to "voice it out". And it's nice that it's with SOUNDWAVE of all cons because, just like the other big 4 decepticons of high command, he's usually a loner in previous continuities. AND AT NUMBER 1 WE HAVE: who else lol. Im a sucker for crossfaction pairing. Theyre both big favs of mine, they have almost 8 episodes worth of being glued together to the frame. Theres the climax and the final scene before the epilogue of the Finale. Theres parallels and callbacks. It's just aesthetically pleasing in general but its not like, out of nowhere. I wouldve KILLED for an interaction between the two in peacetime. Or just more time. congrats on Hot Rod for winning.

Favorite headcanon: never outgrew the dance fever, is just repressing REALLY hard in war time. was in charge of the official decepticon twitch channel, and human relationships in general on top of communication officer. Never was in a single cringe comp by virtue of dropping killer albums there and there. kiss exclusively by bonking foreheads. Can dish it but cant take it.
