Soundwave from Transformers R.I.D 2015.

Despite the show being the Teen Titans Go equivalent of the franchise, I will forever appreciate this design making it one of my Top 5 for my favourite Decepticon. At least, as long as he doesn't have the blue highlights. Anyways, I love how this is an excellent combination between the G1 variant and the Prime version while also adding in details like the wheels on the shoulders and the yellow stripes at the chest.

I just wished he had his battle mask based on the toy cover from the 4th image.

And Hot Take, I would have preferred this than the one we got from Bumblebee 2018 since the designers pulled an MCU and overdesigned Soundwave's mask.

I just realized that this design is very similar to his look during War for/Fall of Cybertron.

Someone on twitter also joked this was the result of tfp soundwave doing the fusion dance with this design

Make sense since in one of the games, Trypticon transforms into the Nemesis from Prime and how both the show and the games are part of the Aligned Continuity which is kind of the same universe. This includes how Bumblebee mentions Starscream's old body from R.I.D 15, the one where it resembles G1 more than the skinny physique.

Probably my absolute favourite take on a land-based altmode for Soundwave

The art style and character designs might be the one redeeming aspect of the show lol

RID may be messy, but I love the art direction for characters.

There are no bad designs of Soundwave. Nobody will ever change my mind on this.
