Line 19:
He considers newspaper to be a primitive form of communication.{{listref|29}}
He was insulted to receive a letter addressed to an Autobot (specifically, Ratchet). He considered it a kindness that {{TF|Alan_Kupperberg|the artist}} rendered Ratchet with a Decepticon insignia in {{TF|The_Worse_of_Two_Evils!|"The Worse of Two Evils!".}} {{listref|29}} He was also insulted to place lower on a list of a reader's favourite toys than Jazz and Optimus Prime (but not Megatron)
Soundwave did not know what a birthday was.{{listref|30}} When a letter writer asked Soundwave to print her son's birthday in the comic, Soundwave simply printed the reader's date of birth and age as though the boy had forgotten, not realising congratulations were in order.{{listref|32}}
Line 30:
Announcing competition winners, he considered his congratulations to be the highest accolade.{{listref|32}}
Soundwave only carries one spy cassette at a time.{{listref|33}}
When a reader bragged that he could transform Ramjet in 5.2 seconds, Soundwave's response was that he could transform an Autobot into a pile of smoking wreckage in 0.8 seconds.{{listref|33}}
===The column===
Soundwaves-the-column was absent from issues [[The Transformers issue 26|26]] and [[The Transformers issue 27|27]] while Soundwave-the-Decepticon overthrew the human letter answerers, seizing total control for himself. "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED."{{listref|28}}
Soundwaves sent published letter writers mini-Autobot toys so they could prove their loyalty to the Decepticon cause. Soundwave sent a {{TF|Beachcomber_(G1)|Beachcomber}} toy to a reader who had lost his previous one "so you can have fun losing him again."{{listref|33}}
==''The Transformers''==
Line 46 ⟶ 52:
Transformers have no relatives.{{listref|32}}
The {{TF|New_Cybertronic_Dictograph|New Cybertronic Dictograph}} is a Transformer dictionary.{{listref|33}}
Soundwave was offended at the suggestion that the Autobots had ever been victorious over the Decepticons and, as of [[The Transformers issue 33|issue 33]], only noted a minor setback or two.{{listref|33}}
===Autobots===
Line 82 ⟶ 92:
Shockwave was unfazed by a reader's hope that Megatron would trash him, as he considered "offensive action against Carbon-Based Units to be a waste of time".{{listref|30}}
Shockwave is ''not'' Soundwave's brother, as Transformers have no relatives. Shockwave also read Soundwaves, meaning Soundwave had to keep his leadership ambitions on the down-low.{{listref|32}} Despite a minor setback or two, Soundwave professed confidence in Shockwave's command.{{listref|33}}
Believing that the toy makers could not accurately capture his true greatness, Shockwave forbade the release of a toy of him.{{listref|32}}
Line 101 ⟶ 111:
Soundwave was under the impression the {{TF|The_Transformers_(cartoon)|''Transformers'' TV series}} was a big hit from the letters in his mailbag, and thought he came across well in it.{{listref|28}}
The TV series "use[s] the basic facts" of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict (as accurately related in the comic) "and build[s] up stories around them."{{listref|29}} In particular, he noted the events of {{TF|Decepticon_Dam-Busters!|"Decepticon Dam-Busters!"}} as being the basis of {{TF|More_than_Meets_the_Eye,_Part_2|an episode of the cartoon}} (though in real life it was, of course, the other way around).{{listref|33}}
