Description
An unused concept sketch I did for the upcoming series "All Hail Megatron": a modern days cassette recorder Soundwave!(because microcassettes and recorders still exist).
Well, at least it's good as fanart

No today he'd look like how Guido just made him here: micro recorders are still frequently used nowadays, especially by journalists.

But, if he were an iPod, he'd be too small to be seen by the human eye.

I support this. I still use tapes a lot myself.

I love the look. I love the new alt mode. I love this new Soundwave. The great thing with a mini-recorder is that every journalist out there still uses them. Great way to sneak Soundwave into lots of areas with high value... um... targets.

Well, you made a believer out of me. I think the thought's crossed my mind before, but I never gave it any really serious thought-- But I'm so glad you did, now.
Which just leads me to join the rest in wondering why they wouldn't use this in AHM; it's no more drastic than what they've done with the likes of several of the others: Hot Rod, Hardhead, and of course, Headmaster Sunstreaker.
Hasbro really needs to see this for Classics. They're making a new Ravage for it, right? So why not?

Clever! Glad the idea of him as a recorder hasn't been completely abandoned by fans

Ooh. Me likey Soundwave. But I have a feeling that this won't be his model for the movie, unless they figure out a way to sneak a giant tape recorder around.
I actually have one of these little ones.
...
I'm never going to look at it the same way again.

sweet~ I always like the shapes that make up Soundwave. I think that's why he's the only decepticon that I really /like/. X3

Very nice update to a favorite character. And the cassettes don't need to be updated. Great work!!!

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I would love to see this as a Classics/Universe Soundwave. Way better than MP3wave.

SWEEEEET. XD I still have one of those mini-recorders from a journalism class and if I found him in my backpack, I'd either freak or ask him for an autograph (a pal of mine is a big Soundwave fan), or both.

This is EXCELLENT. I love the robot design and the alt-mode See, Bay, Soundwave can still be kickass and a mini-casette player. Mass-displacement FTW!

In my mind you cannot have Transformers without certain characters. Obviously Megatron and Optimus Prime are two, but others are: Starscream, Jazz and Soundwave.

With the offcenter glass front, he makes me think more of Blaster now. Also, even though they no longer seem to serve the same purpose, glad to see you kept the essential crotch buttons.

This definitely beats the Soundwave mp3 players and that car thing that're running around! I don't understand why they didn't use it though, I mean, they've updated all the Seekers and a bunch of other characters, so why not Soundwave. I personally think this looks amazing and almost exactly like the older version.
A definite +fav!

that is very very cool - why wasn't it used? It fits in with IDWs reinvention/updates of character alt modes

didn't Soundwave already have an 80's bommbox as an alt. mode or has he got a new one.
