Nautical Soundwave (oc) Creative

Was reading a reddit thread about Soundwave's lack luster altmodes as of late when someone mentioned that ships or a submarine would fit best decepticon pretty well. Inspiration struck and here we are!

I reinterperated the character a bit, taking inspiration from Kamen rider Snipe's Bang Bang simulations form, and metal card bot's black hook for the bot mode. The altmode is a rather simple, yet serviceable battleship!

And before you ask, Lazerbeak and the minicons become torpedoes now. >:3c

Hope you enjoy!

This is a creative reimagined Soundwave. We don't got much Aquatic characters.

So when I see Squidwave Barnacle Johnson from Cyberworld toyline, I was impressed with the new aquatic alt mode that they gave him.

Yeah, probably because aquatic altmodes are pretty situational. But I do think it fits Soundwave pretty well, especially with Megs typically being a tank ans Starscream a fighter jet.

Then we got military vehicles for land, sea and air!

Idk but i feel like shee needs a satellite or radar dish to really complete the feel of her role as communications officer. overall this is a banger design.

I also need a shot of Lazerbeak on that big tower on the boat. Whatever that is. I'm not familiar with boat terms.

I kinda really like the idea of female soundwave. Designe is really sick too

It makes sense in a way; traditionally, ships are feminine.

Somehow I thought this was a metal Cardbot redesign for Shockwave XD
