Cybertronian modes ain't supposed to be disguises, they're all just faster ways of transport/attack.

Soundwave, for example, in his sattelite mode can float around planets and collect data alot easier.

OK, that makes more sense.

Hey, Cosmos is awesome.

But, yeah, to be honest, I don't really know much about satellites. Soundwave will probably only be in that form for, like, 2 scenes or something.

I was just kind of pointing out the fact that , in the cartoon, Cosmos's job was pretty much to sit in orbit all day monitoring decepticon activity.

Soundwave would probably be more active than that.

I guess he could have have been a flying saucer.

We still haven't seen his actual earth alt mode.
Only what a, probably old, concept idea was.

I think that is one of the stupidest alt modes that could possibly be picked for a Transformer. I thought it was stupid for Energon with Shockblast, and it's more stupid for a live action movie. I mean how many satellites do you ever actually see? How many satellites do you EVER see through your day to day activities and travels on earth? Farther more, what do they have to do with making sounds/noises (other than giving a silent invisible signal)? Choosing a satellite transformation for a Transformer, let alone Soundwave, is one of those WTF moments in Transformers history. What good does it do for a transformer on earth to Transform into a sattelite??? Where is the disguies or the practicality?

I know there have been some odd alt mode choices in transformers history but at least those were useful within their group and practical to transform back and forth to and fro amongst the rest of the Transformers and humans granting whatever expertise the group needed from that character. A satellite just orbits around space in the middle of nowhere isolated and all alone away from civilization. Space which is miles upon miles above civilized land… Hard to see how Soundwave could be within the ranks of the Decepticons on a mission if that's all he can turn into.

Well that's my little rant for the month. Thanks for letting me vent.

I'm guessing you have little understanding of how satellites work or what they're used for.
Or else you'd realize how fitting it is for a decepticon intelligence officer/spy to be one.

I guess he could have have been a flying saucer.

kjeevahh

you obviously aren't familiar with G1 then.. soundwave's original cybertron alt mode was a street-light. very useful and sound related i'm sure you'll agree.

Really? I thought he turned into the Black Knight from Monty Python…

Or just a slightly bent over robot with retracted head and hands.

Where is the disguise or the practicality?

You just answered your own question.

And how the heck is a freakin' orbital deathray a stupid alt-mode? On the contrary, it's probably the most badass thing ever.

Shockblast using it like a spaceship mode in the 'toon, however, was stupid.
