| Favorite Character : | Soundwave: many reasons. Soundwave was to me the ultimate Audiophile, and more so than Jazz or Blaster, Soundwave didn't listen to just anything, he was a connoisseur of music, rhythm, harmony, resonance, sound. One quote of his struck me as the ultimate expression of who he is as a character, separate from his role among the Decepticons. The episode it's from is from season 3, titled 'Carnage in C Minor', and the line was around 3:30 into the show. After Galvatron's attempt to use an asteroid for his own purposes was thwarted by the Autobots, sending it hurtling towards a small planet, it was destroyed by something from that planet, a powerful sound. When Galvatron asked Soundwave What was that?, he responded with That was Heaven! The purest, most vibrant, most perfect harmony I've ever heard! and his normally emotionless electronic monotone was full of emotion, almost rapture. Being quite an Audiophile myself, that part of him resonated strongly with me. Plus, being 10 years old at the time, to my mind he had the coolest most unique voice of any of the characters, and that sound drew me in like a magnet. Add to that the fact that he had a regular menagerie with him and given my love for animals, he was the coolest on the show. |
