Concern about Soundwave in ROTF (POSSIBLE SPOILER)

I read this on wikipedia's article about Soundwave's role in ROTF.

Movie Plot
Soundwave has limited dialogue in the movie. He has yet to be seen in any of the trailers. He downloads into his satellite vehicle forms for the new Decepticons to use before they land on Earth. Soundwave does not leave his position orbiting Earth and never transforms into his robot mode. He does not die at the end of the movie leaving possibilites open for a more prominent role in the third film.

Now, Soundwave has always been one of my fav's Decepticons, and reading he's just gonna be sending the data for the vehicle forms and orbit into Earth's atmosphere to do the intelligency work for the Decs sounds wrong to me.I onestly hope wikipedia's info are wrong, cause waiting two more years for the 3rd movie to see him do something more than some computer job is weird.What are your toughts about it?

Yeah this would account for reports that he just has a boringly generic Cybertronian Jet mode.

Makes sense if he never leaves Bay's cybertron.

If memory serves, it was outlined early on that he came to earth and headed the Constructicons attacks/recovery of Megatron.

This may be fubared now though, by all accounts

facepalm I will wait until I see this in a bout a week to pass judgment

Wise.

Spoiler:
I've watched most of the movie, and a few friends of mine have seen it at the showing they did in Japan, yeah.... He doesn't have a robot form at all, just stays a satellite, sorry.

Then maybe there is still hope for Soundwave being a tape deck when he comes to earth. 😉

The whole point of Transformers is they are vehicles that transform into robots and have massive cool fights.
Not a robot that just stays as a satellite orbiting earth
Why Michael Bay? Just Why?

There's a possibiity at the end of the film Soundwave and Megatron are seen just chilling on the Nemesis, panning for part 3. So they'll use Soundwave alright.

Thats Good news i want to see him in robot mode

That sucks I went and bought my soundwave shirt and everything and he won't even go robot form? That makes me a sad panda.

That still amounts to "jerking the crowd off and stealing their money".

Ive read all the adaptation comics and

Spoiler:
Soundwave dont do shit.

Soundwave has a small role in Transformers: Alliance, but is never actually seen.

I would assume from reading the comics that he would have an increased role in the movie.

Strategically, I would agree with not having Soundwave move or transform. If he can evade detection while monitoring things, good. But as a fan I want to see him transform.

...into something unshit...? 😛

Into something as good as Optimus' robot form.

Fair play. 🙂

this has been confirmed..

Spoiler:
Soundwave is actually Michael Bay who makes his acting debut

I read the book and he doesn't do much. He manipulates the US satalite feed's so that they can't see the battle until it is too late. He also ejects the Ravage probe.

Not really, haha. Some people enjoy it. I'm not that big of a Soundwave fan, so his absence won't strike me one bit. If anything, I just want to see powered up Prime.

I can wait for youtube to see that I guess.
No need to convey even accidentally to Bay that I approve of his shenanigans by ensuring his brand of filth financial renumeration.

Yes some people might like being jerked around/ripped off but those people are by definition, then, masochists or ..........well.....there is only a small collection of words that would be printable. 😛

Im a soundwave fan, and hate what they've done here.
