An original design for Soundwave that I started a looooong while back, but never really finished until now. His alt mode is a news broadcast helicopter.

Kind of inspired by how Soundwave would take the role of Blackout(and Barricade) in the first movie, so I wanted to give him a helicopter alt too, though a different kind of helicopter. In a hypothetical full cast/story, he'd take a similar role as in Bayverse/ROTF, as one who monitors the world from high up and occasionally comes down to take matters into his own hands.

An alt with a red visor, if you think that looks better.
