Soundwave’s death in Unicron 6 was devastating - I’m going to say that straight away.
It wrenched out my heart and it’s really sad to even think about.
But that said, it was beautifully done.
And not just with the actual art, which was jaw-dropping, but also thematically.
Soundwave, the True Decepticon, who believed in true equality and unity for all - “Till all are one” - achieved that for a while here.
He united everyone, living and dead to help save the universe, ultimately sacrificing himself to achieve that dream in the process.
He really, really did it.
So, well done Soundwave, once again, you did good.
