Soundwave (BW)

None of the Mutants are upbeat characters, but Soundwave really exemplifies their grim attitude toward life. While Razor Claw stoically shoulders his burden and Poison Bite internalizes all of his angst, Soundwave hates his ungainly body, and he wants everyone to know it. Bitter and melodramatic, Soundwave turns his hurt on the rest of the world - after all, it's not like he wanted to be part of this war in the first place. Soundwave only joined up with Icebird's band of misfits to find the 'botwho did this to him... and make them pay for this grotesque transformation. His drive for vengeance, while certainly dramatic, sometimes leads him to make irrational decisions.

The other Mutants tolerate his theatrics, as he's a useful asset to keep around (and it's not like they're particularly jovial folks, either) Whether in the air or in the water, he can rely on his ultra-sensitive internal radar to detect enemies, and his alligator teeth can chomp right through even the toughest Cybertronian alloys. One smack of his tail will send a circuit-disrupting pulse wave through the ground to short out whatever survives. Even so, once the threat has passed, Soundwave will probably go right back to brooding.
