...I didn't like that scene. Soundwave doesn't care about Rumble. He doesn't care about anyone except himself - that's why all the other Decepticons hate him. (-_-)

From Soundwave's G1 bio & tech specs:
Opportunist. Despised by all other Decepticons. // Often a target of retaliation by his comrades.
Reference

From Soundwave's G1 TF: Universe profile:
...beneath his smooth-talking, affable surface beats the generator coil of a blackmailer. // Soundwave is the ultimate opportunist... // Although they all despise him, the other Decepticons pretend to like him rather than get on his bad side. As Rumble explains, "Soundwave always has the last laugh." // At times (Soundwave's) hateful personality has resulted in retaliation from (other Decepticons), or worse yet, his abandonment during battle with the Autobots.
...that last line indicates that Soundwave hates his fellow Decepticons as much as they hate him.

So that scene really irritated me as Soundwave was behaving completely out of character. Freakin' sonic-emo. (-_-) I really hope something's gonna happen later to logically explain why the hell Soundwave reacted that way.

No! That's Frenzy's ability! Again, out of character. If this were an RPG and I were the Dungeon Master, I'd so be deducting experience points from Soundwave for behaving out of character... the player would need to make a heavily penalised save roll vs. insanity. And the whole use of a sonic scream would've been over-ruled... I'd be like, "show me your character sheet" and then explain to the player how he can't do that. Grrr.





The artwork for the Earth scenes... umm... very Cartoon Networkish. Like something out of Powerpuff Girls, Clone Wars or Transformers Animated. Looks kinda strange in AHM though. Overall I didn't think the art was bad, just a very different style from what we've been used to. Doesn't gel well though - I mean, if they wanted to use that style of art they should've done so from the very beginning and used it consistently. It's disconcerting flicking between a very cartoonish Earth and more traditionally drawn Cybertron. And when did Spike get so freakin' hairy?! What is he, Wolverine?!? Like... ewww.
