Faction : Decepticon
Occupation : Communications Officer
Abilities : Enhanced Communications Array
Ability Description ( optional ) : Soundwave is able to intercept communications signals within range of 1 mile without external assistance. In addition can send and receive on frequencies above or below auditory reception to most (Think of like how a dog can hear a dog whistle, but it's too high pitched for us humans to hear).

Features:
Please put two Bullet Points listing notable features, a picture will account for this part of the app.
- Chest mounted screen used to display pertinent information as necessary
- Soundwave emitters/speakers mounted in shoulders and knee armor
Alternative Mode:
Soundwave transforms into a half-track communications truck. His chest screen forms the windshield, the grey portion below that unfolds to form the good, and the two beveled pieces to the side form headlights and the lights themselves change from red to white. His overall transformation scheme is reminiscent on Energon Snowcat, in the way his arms and legs are arranged at the rear. His backpacks situates itself on the roof and opens into a communication array. The two speakers on his shoulders line up behind the cabin. The overall truck is armored like a piece of military equipment.
ARMOR AND WEAPONRY
Armor
Armor Description: Describe your character's armor. Bullet Point at least two notable features.
- Thick armor sacrifices aesthetics for practicality
- maintains protective traits of vehicle mode even in robot mode
- Specially reinforced in important areas, example: his chest screen is reinforced beyond normal to protect his spark
- Armor is crafted with a special alloy that increases it's resonance, allowing Soundwave to manipulate it via his sound emitters
Weaponry
There are a bunch of weapons listed here
Primary Weapon
Subsonic repeater
Description: Standard submachine gun, fashioned in the style of G1 Soundwave's handheld weapon. Optional EMP rounds to disrupt the target's motor control in the area surrounding the impact point.
Secondary Weapon : Shoulder-mounted Plasma Cannon
Description: That cannon on his shoulder isn't just for show. It fires superheated plasma when Soundwave needs some artillery. It is, of course, merely a backup for his main weapon, but is effective at suppressing approaching groups so that he can attack more methodically with the repeater.
Other Weapons :
Description :
Gadgets :
Soundwave's chest screen can display important data, and the speakers mounted in his shoulders and knees can produce bursts of sound powerful enough to knock a bot away if they're close enough to grab Soundwave
Melee : Resonance Daggers
Melee Weapon Description (Optional): The Resonance Daggers are a pair of short blades Soundwave holds in his hands. Each blade is made of the same alloy as his armor, allowing him to vibrate the blades at different frequency. The right frequency can make the blade cut through armor like butter, or even deflect a bullet. Provided he can find the pitch.

Personality : Soundwave is the quiet type. He tends to keep to his work rather than socialize, but at the same time he is watching you. Soundwave knows what you did when you messed up, you might not know it, but Soundwave studies everything he sees. Once someone gets past that though, Soundwave is a very protective individual, willing to put himself in harms way for others at times. Essentially, to the outside world, he has no emotions.
Courage: 5

History ( Optional as some like to make it up as they go along ) : Soundwave was one of the original Decepticons, standing by Megatron's side when they were still a revolution, not an army. But war broke out, and slowly, Soundwave sacrificed himself to the Decepticon cause; removing parts of his personality to be more efficient in managing data, removing anything from his personal life to maximize the time spent at his post. People called him Megatron's lap dog, they weren't wrong, but he didn't care, he was just doing his duty. But Megatron disappeared, and something snapped in Soundwave's head. Maybe it was the conditioned need for the structure Megatron provided, or a sense of attachment for an old friend: Whatever it was, Soundwave searched, but he couldn't find Megatron, so he prepares to return, jaded and changed by his journey.

Weaknesses :
MINIMUM of four bullets (Full sentences required). You may also write a paragraph consisting of five sentences. (Must mention five weaknesses)
-The alloy used to create his armor is not as thick as typical armor, making him more susceptible to forceful impacts
-Despite his better judgment he will sometimes protect someone regardless of his own safety
-Large amounts of raw data in his processor has stripped him of much of his original personality
-Devout loyalty to Megatron and the Decepticon cause has rendered him rather blinded to other viewpoints
Soundwave walks along a barren desert landscape, his search of his one true leader Megatron having lead him to every corner of the globe, and none the closer to his goal. His armor torn and battered, a hole in the side of his head shooting out sparks making it hard to think; Soundwave was almost ready to give up the closest thing to hope he had and return to base, but something made him keep going.
Soundwave looked over the sand dunes before him and blasted them away with a shockwave from his shoulder mounted speakers, sending the sand flying. He stared at where the sand once stood, hoping to see something, but there was nothing of value to his quest. He had no reason to talk, being alone, and even in his head his resolve to find some clue to his master required no need for words. Ultimately he accepted the fact that there was nothing to be found. He stopped where he was and finally, a word echoed out...
"Failure."
With that, his optic visor darkened, his cold shell shifted itself into vehicle mode, and he went offline, allowing the wind-blown sand to cover him as he shut down to conserve his energy and continue the search another day. Thus continuing his cycle of failures, slowly breaking the once proud officer...
