Soundwave and the Autobots

In stark contrast to Soundwave's feelings about his own kind, Soundwave holds a deep-seated disdain and loathing for the Autobots. He equates their destruction with the preservation of that which is most precious to him, most notably his creations and their chance at a better future. So he has come to consider the Autobots little more than vermin to be wiped out, the roadblock in the way to Decepticon destiny, and is coldly ruthless in his dealings toward them. Having experienced firsthand what they're capable of, he has no compunctions about using any means, even the most vile and merciless, to work toward the downfall of the Autobots. Fellow Deceptions who know what he's like among their own kind, are often shocked at this other side to Soundwave; likewise Autobots would be shocked to know what he's like among his own, because all they ever see of him is a lethally efficient adversary - one who is formidable not only on the battlefield, but who can attack by more insidious means as well. As an expert in cerebral neurocircuitry and memory processing, Soundwave is able to utilize Autobot prisoners in some truly unique ways when necessary, and has no moral constraints against doing it. To him, Decepticon victory is the most important goal, and that end justifies any means that might be used against his enemies.
