[ canon update ]

— CANON UPDATE —


If you'd like to update your character to a different canon point, fill out the form below and comment to this entry. Please note that characters can only be updated to source material that has been out for at least one month. We will try and process canon updates within 48 hours.

ICly, When your character is on a canon update, they completely disappear from the world. It's almost as if they were removed the game, however there's a key difference. Their amulet will remain and be in a translucent state. Characters will be gone from the game from three days to a week. They will reappear wherever their amulet is and can continue their progress from wherever they left off. They will also retain all of their memories.

If you have any questions, contact one of the mods or ask them on the form.

Player: Byte
Character: Soundwave
Current Canon Point: Transformers #54
Updated Canon Point: Transformers Unicron #5 After he sacrifices himself and disintegrated to dust

Updated Background: From here on.
Transformers Unicron event To summarized Soundwave's role in the event; he doesn't seem to do anything noteworthy (fighting off the Maximals and general trying to save as many people as possible) for the most part until towards the end. The one and only major play he did is sacrificing himself by calling the souls of all the dead in the Afterspark (humans, Cybertronians, Elonians) with his telepathic power and the Enigma of Combination, sending all their hope and faith, including his own, to boost Optimus Prime to "defeat" Unicron's creator, disintegrating himself to dust during the process.

Updated Personality: Not much has changed at his core. Soundwave is still loyal, serious, and generally cold, but the comic does elaborate more on a few of his key traits and his development and he is a fully fledged good guy. One main trait that is brought up multiple times by other characters was Soundwave's faith and that he believes that "some things must be taken on faith". Simply put, even when he has no evidence to show that they could possibly stop Unicron all he needs was his faith to keep on fighting the seemingly impossible threat and win in the end. And they did, he literally uses his faith to save the universe.

At his new canon point, Soundwave is much more prone to resolve battles by peaceful means and reaching to an understanding rather than using violence until he has no other choice left but to fight back. It worked once with the Sharkticons, urging them that they are oppressed and convincing them to turned their back on their master to attain their freedom. He tried the same once more against the Maximals, but that ends up being futile as the Maximals are hellbent on the destruction of the entire universe, too.

There were instances that shows Soundwave is much more empathetic and emotional than he seems. When he found out about his friend's death, who was a human, Soundwave is immediately overcome with grief and unintentionally broadcast his feelings and memories in his anguish. Which also shows he's much more willing to befriend humans, but that development had already happened in Empatheias anyways.

Outside of those, his general attitude remains the same.

Updated Abilities: Nothing new, really. Though his telepathy power does seems to continue to develop over time, as he's able to contact the dead in the afterlife with the Enigma of Combination.

Other: He'll return with the Enigma of Combination with him. What the artifact does is that it has the power "combine" the thoughts and mind of sentient beings into one and physically combine Cybertronians together into one form. As Soundwave himself put it, the Enigma of Combination is not about physical combinations, but it is about the spiritual combination- the hearts, mind, and spirits.

Soundwave is not likely to use it again for any reason at all as it did disintegrate him along with the artifact, so it'll just be a mystical artifact he'll keep around.

Forgot the add the date oops, he'll be leaving on the 10th and returning on the 14th.

Questions: Nah.
