which can transform into Ravage and comes with a Talon Grapple Gun. Prime: Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Soundwave w/ Sonic Saw''' (2013) Transformers: Cyberverse Soundwave appears in Transformers: Cyberverse'', appearing sporadically in season one and becoming a primary villain starting in season two, though he enters a much more heroic role in season three and four. More brutish and petty than previously incarnations, he is often shown playing fitting music for whatever situation is at hand on his speakers, annoying both Autobots and Decepticons alike. Soundwave is first seen in the animated series in season one during a memory of Bumblebee's at Maccadam's Old Oil House, where he impresses some of the other patrons with his dancing skills. During season two, he butts heads with fellow Decepticon Shockwave, such as taking the opportunity to mock Shockwave when he gets chastised for "making excuses" by Megatron. During the first half of season three, Soundwave is one of the few Cybertronians freed from the Quintessons' time loop, where he learns to work alongside the Autobot Hot Rod to mount a campaign of resistance against them, and eventually becomes Hot Rod's friend. However, as a result of being forcibly pulled out of the time loop, Soundwave occasionally freezes up. The two eventually learn about the Quintesson Scientist and go to confront him. The Scientist reveals that he keeps Soundwaves from universes that the Quintessons have judged "guilty" and destroyed as "souvenirs", much to Soundwave's disgust. After he freezes up again, the Scientist fixes him, and Soundwave "thanks" the Scientist by attacking him before releasing Laserbeak to help the other Cybertronians free all the Autobots and Decepticons from the loop. Soundwave and Hot Rod attempt to rally the bickering Autobots and Decepticons, though when this doesn't work Soundwave releases a sonic blast to pacify everyone, before ordering them to train against the Quintesson forces. Soundwave plays a major role during the second half of season four, helping his fellow Cybertronians fight Tarn's brainwashed Perfect Decepticons. During the ensuing chaos, he manages to seize the Cortex Helm from Tarn and uses it to free the Perfect Decepticons, ultimately sacrificing himself to annihilate both Tarn and the helm. Hot Rod holds a memorial for his fallen friend after the battle, which both Autobots and Decepticons attend as Cybertron finally enters a new age of peace.
