Soundwave
1 of 2: The two vintage
80s Soundwaves used their telepathy to form a collective mind, though
they are both capable of acting and speaking independently. Soundwave 1
of 2 is the one with slightly looser joints and a missing Decepticon
insignia. He is still a loyal Decepticon, he just lost his insignia
after being mugged by ferrets and never bothered getting a new one.
He's more likely to transform into his alt-mode than 2 of 2. It was his
idea to harness the incredible power of cheese by converting it into
energon.
Both Soundwaves were missing for a time after Zab Jade moved to the
farm. One of 2, with the help of 2 of 2, was able to dig himself out
the box he was stored in. While 2 of 2 and Ravage stayed behind
to search for
Rumble and Frenzy, 1 of 2 trekked from the shed to the
house, only to find Vanwave in Zab's room. Zab begged for forgiveness
for giving up hope of seeing her beloved toys again, which the
Soundwaves granted after she promised to get a Megatron.
Soundwave 2
of 2: Two of 2 has
tighter joints and his Decepticon insignia. He doesn't transform unless
absolutely necessary because part of his right front corner is missing.
This damage doesn't show in his robot mode. Soundwave 2 of 2 is the one
who gathered blackmail material to use against Zab in order to force
her to purchase Megatron.
After the two Soundwaves freed themselves from the box, 2 of 2 and
Ravage searched
diligently for Rumble and Frenzy. Unfortunately, they weren't able to
find
them. Luckily, Zab, worried Rumble and Frenzy would be lost due to
their small size, had
uploaded their minds to her laptop before the move. She downloaded the
two into temporary bodies until she can afford to buy replacements.
Zab Jade: Zab
Jade is the owner of
the toy collection. Her drawn comic avatar is a purple, black, and red
scootercon, but when interacting with her toys, she possesses the form
of black-haired Majin Vegeta. Her main functions appear to be goofing
off, increasing the Decepticon ranks, and tape deck cuddling.
Zab is a rabid Soundwave fan, to the point that her TF form is a
sub-type of cassette (scootercons turn into both cassettes and
scooters). Fortunately for her, her Soundwaves tend to indulge her, and
let her cuddle them at times. They also willingly play music for her
and can sometimes be convinced to sing.
Despite the name of the comic being The Random Potato, Zab insists
there is no potato and that Starscream, who keeps seeing it, is having
a mental breakdown. Whether or not she truly believes this or is just
messing with him is unknown at this time.
Ravage: Ravage is one of
Soundwave's cassettes, and the only one to be found after the move.
When he isn't playing lap kitty for Megatron or the Soundwaves, he
likes to roam the bedroom and sometimes play with Stygian and the large
cats. He can't speak, but the Soundwaves, Vanwave, Zab, Lasetar, and
Stygian can all hear his thoughts when he chooses to transmit them.
Only the Soundwaves, Stygian, and Lasetar can understand his cat speech.
Universe
Ravage: Like
vintage Ravage, he can't speak, but can
be understood by most of those who matter. Zab got him so both
Soundwaves could have a kitty.
Rumble: Rumble is one of
Soundwave's cassettes. Even though he's a toy, Zab goes by the cartoon,
so Rumble is the blue one. His body was lost in the move and his mind
downloaded from Zab's laptop into a brown toy horse until she can
purchase a new body for him. He and Frenzy do a weekly question and
answer comic for The Random Potato called Ask Frenzy.
Rumble is a demolitionist, warrior, and cheerfully cocky little punk.
He likes music and has an addiction to various Harvest Moon games.
Frenzy: Frenzy is one of
Soundwave's cassettes. Even though he's a toy, Zab goes by the cartoon,
so Frenzy is the red one. His body was lost in the move and his mind
downloaded from Zab's laptop into a black toy horse until she can
purchase a new body for him. He and Rumble do a weekly question and
answer comic for The Random Potato called Ask Frenzy.
Frenzy is a warrior, a demolitionist, and the security officer of the
cassettes. Like Rumble, Frenzy enjoys music and Harvest Moon, though he
isn't addicted to the games. He also likes donuts, long walks on the
beach, playing the drums, and social networking.
Starscream:
Starscream tried to
take over as the leader of the Decepticons in Megatron's absence, but
the Soundwaves declared themselves temporarily in charge and told
Starscream he was now the receptionist. To enforce this, Soundwave 2 of
2 sat on him while 1 of 2 kicked him. Shortly after this, Starscream
was attacked by a mysterious, many-eyed creature. He vehemently claims
it
was the potato, but Zab is just as adamant that there is no potato.
The Potato: There is no potato.
Vanwave: Vanwave is TF:A
Soundwave. Zab bought him in a fit of weakness while convinced she
would never find the box with her beloved Soundwaves, which she found a
mere hour after purchasing Vanwave. While nowhere near as horrendous as
Cybertron Soundwave, the Soundwaves weren't happy to see Vanwave in the
bedroom. Despite this, they allowed him to live and stay in the room.
Lasetar: Lasetar is TF:A
Laserbeak. He turns into a guitar instead of a cassette.
