Lounging gladiator 💠
gladiator soundwave is my favorite but it's rare to see art of him… so i wanted to pour all my effort into appreciating him 💞
you can also have him as a print here 💙
more headcanons for soundwave beans, this time for tfp 🐾
bonus wavewave doodle 🤲 hold him with big paws 💕
gladiator soundwave sketches from a while ago i never finished, but since it's tfp anniversary week i might as well share 🫶
In need of reference images, I did my best to clean up that 1 image of pre-war gladiator Soundwave so u can actually see him past the haze and sun glare. Enjoy.
Colour balance may be more purple-skewed than he should be outside purple Nemesis lighting, but its within his range.

poorly drawn mental image of the day: gladiator Soundwave making Shockwave carry him around. Its fine, just pretend he's not there.
I think TFP Soundwave is the most feral of the Soundwaves.
While he shares his other iterations of great competence and loyalty, this fucker was a full-blown gladiator in the Pits of Kaon. As well as the only other fighter to actually force Megatronus to a draw.
Similar to Megatron, he has flair for dramatic showmanship. Just look at the fights against Airachnid and Wheeljack. But where Megatron leaned into an aggressive and powerful persona, Soundwave did a different approach.
I think it was deliberate that his modern design invoked an otherworldly cryptid-like vibe. His lack of plating isn't a weakness. If anything, it's a taunt.
He leans into the creepy/horror factor. To the point that Ratchet described Soundwave as Cybertronian unlike any other. (But let's not forget that Ratchet, and the Autobots in general, have their own biases.) There was a Tumblr post analysis on how TFP Soundwave may have been mimicking a sparkeater's frame and behavior.
And that is what gives him a greater edge over the other Soundwaves. He purposely remodeled himself to act as a terrifying supernatural beast of yore. Soundwave is the Sparkeater to Megatron's Slagmaker.
It also says something about the environments that shaped both him and Megatron and the Decepticons as a whole, especially with the imprisonment scene where Soundwave basically went Fuck You to the Autobots and Bulkhead had thought he actually offed himself. It's that of perpetual brutality and violence.
No matter how charismatically affable and social TFP Megatron is, we also see he doesn't spare a rough hand upon his subordinates. Yes, he cares. But it's warped in a way that bridges the methods that formed his escape and rise to power and gets results. It isn't just physical violence. There's also emotional and psychological as well. (The Orion Pax arc, clawing over Knock Out's finish, Megatron and Bumblebee, Jack and Megatron, how the kids were kept in vials to trade for the Omega Lock, the attempt and taunts of "Gilded" Earth, and that's at the top of my head.)
They were shaped by it, and they continued it.
So I honestly think this Soundwave would respect absolutely raw acts of savage violence. Someone tearing out a throat with their own teeth like an animal wouldn't induce horror and disgust. More like approval and appreciation that others aren't afraid to throw off their own fragile, cultured masks of civility to really get down to bare struts of what they are truly capable of.
This thought haunts me, so I gotta share it:
TFP Soundwave would be the type of guy to keep fucking if someone else barged into the room.
Gladiators had very little privacy between each other within the barracks and training, only the top-rankers could afford a sole room. He also doesn’t half-ass anything, so it doesn’t matter if he has a carrier that’s his s/o or he’s acting as a donor, Soundwave is giving it his full, dedicated effort. Plus, it’s his scheduled downtime, so whatever anyone sees, they can’t complain, especially in his own damn habsuite.
