Who is the decepticon on the satellite

Often stationed high in the upper atmosphere and capable of processing millions of data streams at once, he is fully capable of taking over communications on a planetary scale.

After all, he views knowledge as power he can exploit. As one of Megatron 's staunchest supporters, Soundwave does not hesitate to record and send the failures of any Decepticon who crosses him to his master, almost certainly ensuring an untimely demise. His lofty position has made Starscream suspicious, so Soundwave has his minion Ravage keep an eye on the Air Commander if he gets out of hand. Soundwave is also nearly defenseless in space, as his devastating sonic cannons only work within the atmosphere.

By the late s, Soundwave received a transmission from Wheelie , who was tailing Mikaela Banes , and instructed him to obtain a surviving shard of the AllSpark in her possession. Tapping into it with his tentacles to listen, Soundwave overheard Theodore Galloway mention another shard of the AllSpark in storage at Diego Garcia , and of Megatron 's burial in the Laurentian Abyss. Formulating a plan, Soundwave waited until it would be nightfall on Diego Garcia, then ejected Ravage who was equipped with Scalpel and the microcons that form Reedman to Diego Garcia to steal the shard.

Once they had stolen the shard, they reunited with some Constructicons and managed to resurrect their leader. Soundwave remained in space, tapping into the satellite he had found. When Megatron decided to reveal the Transformers presence on Earth after killing Optimus Prime , Soundwave issued the mobilization order to the waiting troops on the Nemesis. He called Judy on her cellphone, demanding to know where Sam was, which the human dismissed as a prank call by a pervert.

This allowed the Decepticons to track them down and capture them to use as bait for Sam. During Operation: Firestorm , Soundwave blocked the satellites covering the Egyptian area, making things appear normal. General Morshower was unconvinced though and got other local informants to know what was happening at the pyramids.

Revenge of the Fallen. During the s, Soundwave had tried to hide the Ark 's presence on the moon by gaining human contacts in the United States and Soviet Union , whose creative accounting would render further trips to the moon financially unfeasible.

One of these was Dylan Gould 's father, while Dylan himself would later accept Soundwave as a client. With the failure of the schemes of The Fallen and Megatron, the Decepticons now planned to alert Optimus Prime to the Ark' s existence so he could revive Sentinel Prime with the Matrix of Leadership for them.

He and his winged minion Laserbeak visited the incapicitated Megatron in Africa , and informed the ex-tyrant that Optimus had discovered an Ark fuel cell at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant , and had recovered the body of Sentinel Prime and five of his Space Bridge pillars.

Megatron decided it was time to eliminate loose ends in their plan, so Soundwave sent Laserbeak to further draw out the Autobots by killing many of their human contacts, including Jerry Wang.

Meanwhile, the disguised Soundwave was "given" by their human ally Dylan, the one human they did not kill, as a gift to Sam Witwicky 's new girlfriend Carly Spencer. He was used as a car to transport Carly to Dylan's party. During the party, Sam and Carly tried to leave, only for Soundwave and Laserbeak to reveal themselves, and the sonic warrior took Carly hostage. Gould explained his relationship with the two Decepticons while Soundwave used his tentacles to threaten Carly, and the pair forced Sam into finding out the Autobot's plan for a counter-attack.

During the Decepticon occupation of Chicago , Soundwave took several Autobots prisoner until Gould stated that things had gotten personal and the Autobots needed a lesson of respect, and Soundwave happily concurred: "No prisoners, only trophies". He and Barricade began by executing Que. He then selected Bumblebee to be his victim and dragged him forward, pushing him onto the body of his fallen comrade.

He then told the Autobot to turn around as was about to execute him, but he was distracted by Wheelie and Brains 's sabotage of a Decepticon aircraft carrier, raining fighters onto the battlefield. The Autobot scout took advantage of this small slip of opportunity and punched Soundwave as they battled through the chaos, causing him to drop one of his guns. Evading Soundwave's sonic cannon blasts, Bumblebee eventually blasted part of Soundwave's leg, causing him to drop his remaining gun, and he lunged at the Autobot.

Bumblebee then delivered the final blow by throwing an uppercut to Soundwave's torso and shooting upwards, disintegrating the Decepticon's head and killing him. Dark of the Moon. When Viviane Wembly was abducted by Hot Rod , she remarked that her captor had better be a famous Transformer, like Shockwave or Soundwave, perhaps unaware that both Decepticons were deceased. Hot Rod retorted that he was more impressive than either of them.

The Last Knight. After Megatron had disappeared, Soundwave and Shockwave assumed command of the Decepticon army.

Under their joint leadership, the Decepticons conquered Cybertron , forcing the Autobots to abandon the planet. When the Decepticons launched a final assault on the last Autobot city, Soundwave's arrival on the battlefield and subsequent order for the Decepticons to attack prompted Optimus Prime to call for his forces to retreat to the Autobots' launchpad.

Despite the Seekers destroying the launchpad, all the Autobots but Prime managed to escape immediate danger. When Prime fell back to ground level, Soundwave unleashed Ravage to attack the Autobot leader and signaled the other Decepticons to surround him. Despite this, Prime managed to evade capture and eventually leave the planet.

The spill of this data filled him with pleasure as the humans' systems come under his complete control. From his seat on high, Soundwave could control the destiny of mankind without their knowledge, even if it would mean running their civilization into the ground.

Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Soundwave. When Soundwave discovered that NEST was tracking him with their primitive radar, he decided to take care of the intrusion personally. As he plummeted through the atmosphere, his wings glowed red from the heat of reentry. Little did he know that Bumblebee was waiting for him, his cannons charged and eager for a fight. Battlefield Bumblebee vs Infiltration Soundwave Soundwave got into a rematch with Bumblebee at some later point, as the Autobot had a plan to take care of him once and for all.

Since making planetfall, Soundwave no longer has the total access granted by orbit. Fortunately, the high top speed of his Earth mode has given him the means to intercept and interfere with Autobot communications like never before. Cyberverse Soundwave Series 1 He eventually came to enjoy operating on the ground, where he can immerse himself in the ever-present flood of information.

As he cruised through highways, he had access to the personal data of millions, giving him all the power he would need. Cyberverse Soundwave Series 2. Earth is bursting with information, from the air pulsing with radio waves to worldwide computer networks vibrating with digital secrets. Whatever it may be, Soundwave collects it all. Every voice is recorded, every birdsong is remembered, every bit of data analyzed. Information is power, and no one knows better than Soundwave how to turn that power into a weapon.

Dark of the Moon Deluxe Soundwave. Darkside Soundwave. Thousands of years ago on Cybertron , Soundwave stood by Megatron 's side on Unification Day, when a new era of Cybertronian government was ushered in that saw the planet ruled by two bodies—Megatron's Defense Force , of which Soundwave became a part, and Optimus 's Science Division.

Megatron's lust for power soon led him to claim dominion over Optimus, however, and Soundwave was silently present when Megatron summoned Optimus and made this declaration. Foundation 2. Some time later, Megatron came under the influence of The Fallen , who sought to be freed from the sarcophagus that was his trans-dimensional prison. To this end, Soundwave was assigned captaincy of the newly built spacecraft Nemesis , which would take the sarcophagus across the galaxy to find the world on which The Fallen had built a Star Harvester millennia beforehand.

Soundwave and his crew left Cybertron with The Fallen's sarcophagus just before the outbreak of war. Defiance 4 Foundation 3. After thousands of years of searching the stars, Soundwave's Nemesis detected the faint energy signature of the AllSpark , which had been jettisoned from Cybertron in their absence.

Unfortunately for them, so did the Ark , an Autobot spacecraft that had also left Cybertron after the Nemesis and which was teleporting around space and time via a space bridge. The Ark materialized partially within the Nemesis , the intersection of their molecules crippled both ships. While the Ark teleported away, leaving a temporary space bridge portal lingering in its wake, the Decepticons managed to set the Nemesis down on a barren moon.

For the first time, The Fallen, recognizing the space bridge as the technology of his people , spoke directly into Soundwave's mind, directing him to take the Decepticons aboard the smaller ship Longshot and follow the Ark through the portal.

Complying, Soundwave's crew found themselves hurled into the future, appearing in the vicinity of Earth in the year alongside the Ark. The Autobot craft proceeded to crash on Earth's moon , and Soundwave quickly determined to keep humankind from plundering the treasures it contained: mysterious pillars that he had his crew set about removing from the ship and stockpiling. Convergence chapter 1. Unfortunately for Soundwave, humanity detected the crash of the Ark upon the Moon, and a "space race" began between the United States of America and the Soviet Union to be the first to reach the Moon.

The Soviets were first to send probes that photographed the moon's surface: in , their Luna 4 captured an image of the pillars as they were being moved. Dark of the Moon Realizing the necessity of infiltrating the ranks of humanity in order to control the flow of data, Soundwave had the Pretender kill and replace Spetsnaz agent Alisa Morozov in ; then, in , as the Soviets' Luna 6 was in flight, he sent her to Soviet Research Station Oktober to massacre the scientists awaiting data the probe would send back.

Convinced by the Pretender that Humanity could be subverted towards their ends, Soundwave struck a deal with the sole surviving scientist, Voskhod , to curtail further Soviet moon missions. In the process, the Pretender also learned that both America and Russia allegedly had a Cybertronian in their individual custodies, but Soundwave dismissed them as rumors, preferring to focus on the trail of the AllSpark and the Star Harvester.

Convergence chapter 2. Realizing that a captive American secret agent, Bill Simmons had escaped from Research Station Oktober during the Pretender's attack, Soundwave spent two months scanning information lines in search of him, eventually discovering him when he returned to North America and made contact with his superiors.

Although the Pretender failed to finish him off, Soundwave had at last learned of Simmons's well-hidden organization: Sector Seven. Convergence chapter 3 In , he monitored the launch of their Ghost 1 craft, believing it to be of greater importance than the Apollo 11 moon mission, but his guess proved incorrect: Thanks to Soundwave's being distracted, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were able to carry out the first brief excavation of the Ark.

Incensed by his failure, Soundwave grew even more determined to find a mole within the American space program, and he set Ravage to find prospective candidates. He found a NASA accountant named Gould and tapped the stock market to provide enough financial persuasion for the human to manipulate the NASA budget to halt moon missions from onwards.

He takes the form of an MHJ Pave Low III helicopter, which means hes useful for air strikes--and hes not above taking down other Decepticons if it means preserving his own parts. Nastiest Moment: One of the first ever Decepticons that we see in action in Bays Transformers , Blackout attacks a US military base in Qatar, benefiting greatly from the element of surprise.

Nastiest Moment: Soundwaves more devious than all-out nasty, though kidnapping Sams parents in order to track him down in Revenge Of The Fallen was a pretty low blow. The Decepticon: He sounds like a grungy rock outfit, but The Fallen is actually the Decepticons original alpha--hes so important that the second Transformers flick was named after him.

Hes a rare Transformer who doesnt actually transform in the film. His greatest power? Opening space bridges, which he plans to use to take over planet Earth.

Hes voiced by the one and only Tony Todd. Nastiest Moment: Invading Earth, obviously. His plan to turn Earth into a new base for the Decepticons is up there with the grandest of grand evil schemes. The Decepticon: Without a doubt one of the coolest-looking Decepticons, mostly because he has a spiky collar that makes him look seriously badass, Sideways is a surveillance agent who takes the form of a silver Audi R8. Despite his cool appearance, hes also a bit of a coward, preferring to let the big Decepticons fight most of the battles.

Nastiest Moment: The nastiest thing Sideways does is hide while letting the other Decepticons do all the heavy lifting. Hes discovered hiding in Shanghai by the Autobots and swiftly dealt with. He scans them and learned they were Flight 19 , lost in a storm 5th December Soundwave retreated into space and landed on the Moon , as he feels it's much safer than Earth.

Making Waves. Kubikari was searching for El Dorado, the lost city of gold, he had been planting explosives to clear the rubble under the water. He followed orders from Mr. When Kubikari found the lost city, Soundwave burst out from one of the cargo crates and attacks. Major Lennox had been watching the group for a while. He called to "Silver Lining" for back-up. Soundwave launched a missile at their boat, destroying it. Lennox received a message that back-up will arrive in 30 seconds.

Lennox attacked Soundwave. Optimus landed directly on Soundwave, making him collapse. Lennox smacked a gang member of a 50 cal. Mounted on a Hummer and using it himself, he and Ratchet began destroying the gang's cargo.

Meanwhile, Soundwave took off with Optimus on his back, who ripped off an engine, causing them to plunge into the Lagoon. In the battle on the El Dorado pyramid, Mr Kubikari activated the bomb planted near there, sending Optimus and Soundwave flying.

Optimus landed on the beach, while Soundwave retreated. Gold and Blood. Out of nowhere, Soundwave approached. Epps thought Soundwave's weapon systems had crashed — he was wrong. Just as Bumblebee arrived at Epps' position, Soundwave fires his sonic cannons, badly damaging Bumblebee, and breaking Epp's arm. Optimus arrived just in time to stop Soundwave executing Epps and Bumblebee. Soundwave tricked him into fighting against him. Unarmed, but it was only Optimus that won't have his weapons.

Soundwave fired and the blast knocked Prime over the edge of a cliff, but he managed to hold on to a small ledge. Soundwave shot again to bring the cliff side down, but Optimus escaped and hid in a small crack in the cliff. Soundwave was unaware of this and carries on shooting while Optimus snuck up behind him and shouts "BOO! He then shoved the Decepticon over the edge.

Optimus regrouped with the others where Epps had reached a decision about his performance, he must leave NEST. Dealing with the Devil. In the absence of Megatron , Soundwave and Shockwave led the Decepticon forces on Cybertron in an all-out assault on the Autobot resistance. During the battle, Soundwave deployed Ravage to combat Optimus Prime.

Soundwave sent Wheelie to spy on Sam Witwicky at his home, and then ordered him to retrieve the Allspark shard being held by Mikaela Banes. Soundwave later hacked into a satellite by connecting to it with his tentacles. He acquired all the frequencies and signals from the satellite, and thus listened in on a NEST debriefing. From it he discovered the location of the last AllSpark fragment and Megatron's corpse from Theodore Galloway 's rant.

Once Megatron was revived and had ordered the Decepticons to openly attack Earth, Soundwave ordered: "Decepticons Mobilize It is time. He called Judy Witwicky on her cellphone, demanding to know where he was hiding. She did not understand Soundwave's deep voice, calling him a perverted mouth-breather and hung up. From this he decided to send some Decepticon Protoforms to retrieve Sam's parents from their location in France.
