    The voice. The cold delivery. Plus the cats face IS the Decepticon symbol.

    If you need more, theres a jaguar in his chest.

    He actually isn't that much of a badass, when you think about it. In G1 he just had a cool voice, that's it. He was rarely shown to be doing anything exceptional. He pretty much didn't pop up for years until Cybertron, where he was a jive-talking troll. In Animated he was cool, but he acted alone and wasn't super cool. Movie verison is pretty rad, though, and so is Prime. Movie version is this extremely sadistic tormentor, whiel Prime's is a sneaking, silent observer.

    Because he's a professional. No over the top schemes, chewing the scenery, or hammy acting. Cold, methodical, consistent performance without complaints, problems, or mercy. THAT is why he's a badass.

    Also because he has beasts and tiny men living inside his chest. That's also pretty badass I guess.

    oh no soundwave was clearly megatrons right hand. he kept an eye on everything, everyone, everywhere. to some a gnarc may not be cool, however, keeping the bossman on top? and keeping the men in check? that was his role. as far as G1.

    You know, I can't think of one thing that any Soundwave has ever done that could be called "badass".
