He spoke little.

But he heard everything.

And in the shadows of the Decepticon Empire, no one was more trusted—or more feared—than Soundwave.


In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we dissect the silent sentinel of Megatron’s inner circle. From G1 to IDW, from cold enforcer to tragic ideologue, Soundwave’s evolution reveals a character shaped by surveillance, loyalty, and silence weaponized.


Was Soundwave just Megatron’s spy?

Or was he the only true believer?


We explore:

– Soundwave’s origin as a watcher rather than a warrior

– How his loyalty was both his greatest virtue and deepest flaw

– His surprising tenderness toward his cassettes and comrades

– And the unsettling truth: that information—not firepower—wins wars


Whether you’re a fan of his stoic G1 presence or his revolutionary role in IDW’s More Than Meets the Eye, this episode reveals the inner workings of the Decepticons’ most enigmatic asset.


Because Soundwave didn’t just follow Megatron…


He amplified him.
