Why the heck did they decide on him being a truck i mean for the love of god. They couldnt come up with anything more original?????

 

We still haven't seen his actual earth alt mode.
Only what a, probably old, concept idea was.

Hey, Cosmos is awesome.


But, yeah, to be honest, I don't really know much about satellites. Soundwave will probably only be in that form for, like, 2 scenes or something.

 

Yeah.
Because a communications officer would clearly never find being a satellite, with all its broadcasting/receiving power and capabilities, even remotely useful.
Or to put it another way:
 

 

I was just kind of pointing out the fact that , in the cartoon, Cosmos's job was pretty much to sit in orbit all day monitoring decepticon activity.

Soundwave would probably be more active than that.

 

I actually kind of get what's being said here, about the silliness of a satellite earth mode. I mean, if no humans are actually going to see him, what's the point of being in disguise at all? Unless he just retains the mode of a Cybertronian satellite; that would be pretty plausible..

 

Cybertronian modes ain't supposed to be disguises, they're all just faster ways of transport/attack.

Soundwave, for example, in his sattelite mode can float around planets and collect data alot easier.

 

Going off the figure, it looks like a Cybertronian sattelite to me.

 

OK, that makes more sense.

 

  I think the satellite is an awesome Cybertron alt mode for Soundwave. Fits in perfectly with the concept of the character. But I am hoping the rumor about him having a truck for his earth mode isn't true. Just seems like Soundwave's alt mode should be more..... unique.
