So it was Soundwave that made the golden disks from Beast Wars. Makes much more sense than Megatron doing it himself.

Soundwave didn't create the Golden Disk (humans did when they launched the Voyager 1 and 2 probes). He just recorded the video on it

Yeah, or at least that's the case in the Transversal continuity Β  I thought it was a great idea too.

I really like Beast Wars. My favorite is Dinobot.

Me too.Β  I've got quite a few favourites in BW.Β  If I could only choose one, I'd probably have to go with that dang spider, Tarantalus

I also like Rattrap.

Me too.Β  Even though the cast is pretty small on a Transformers scale, there's just so many cool characters in BW.

Yeah. I was hoping to get Dinobot's autograph at a convention 2 years ago, but they moved his session up and I missed it. I got Rhinox's autograph at a little convention a few months ago.

Oh no, that's a shame.Β  At least you got Rhinox's, I'd be happy with that too.Β  Actually, I did like Transmetal Dinobot 2 too.

shozurei In reply to hellbat [2016-01-26 07:52:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I had to pay for it though. I also got Starscream from Transformers Prime.

Ah cool!Β  We don't have some many to choose from in the UK.Β  The nearest one to me is Auto Assembly, which I keep missing out on.Β  From what I've heard, last years was supposed to be last one

Huh - by not making Soundwave a reflection and by not showing him trying to shoot himself, this became much less powerful. Now it's just some rambling with a character model above a disk above a generic background, not a one-panel story.

hellbat In reply to Lemniskate [2015-11-15 18:33:28 +0000 UTC]

Well, sorry to disappoint but the fact of the matter is that if I didn't already have the existing drawing of Soundwave, I probably wouldn't have bothered doing this.Β  It did occur to me that it might be a bit of an issue that Soundwave wasn't topping himself in this version and it was even suggestedΒ by the witter that if I wanted to, I couldΒ remove the last text caption, therefore keeping Soundwave alive, but I decided to leave the text the same as the original.Β  The rest of it was mostly experimenting with fonts and lettering practice.

Trivia: the Decepticon shield is an abstract render of Soundwave's head.

Some may disagree, but I've always seen Soundwave as incredibly loyal. He'd twist the very fabric of the universe to serve Megatron.

hellbat In reply to Rh1n0x [2015-07-22 14:07:26 +0000 UTC]

Same here.Β  I've always seen Soundwave as Megatron's mostΒ loyal officer (even though in his bio, he's a bit of a blackmailer).

Rh1n0x In reply to hellbat [2015-07-22 23:13:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Starscream's disloyalty is balanced out by Soundwave's absolute loyalty.

I don't know, Starscream's a tricky one to keep tabs on.Β  He's always hatching some sort of plot

He can't in the TVC. He's just a spark floating around out in space

Unless he takes over another bot's body (like poor Waspinator).
