Soundwave is able to detect and jam transmissions across the entire energy spectrum, a talent that makes him suited to his position as Decepticon Communications Officer. Soundwave is one of the most recognizable characters from the original Transformers line, because of his alternate mode – a microcassette recorder – and his distinctive monotone, computerized voice. He is commonly depicted as Megatron's communications officer and, in some interpretations, only speaks when mocking the Autobots. Throughout most of his incarnations, he is an undyingly loyal lieutenant of the Decepticon leader Megatron.
His most well-known disguise is that of a microcassette recorder.
