It was always clear to me that Soundwave and Laserbeak have a bond too strong for either of them to be considered drones. They both show emotion and compassion, and even Soundwave shows a sense of humour when he takes a photo of Miko in lieu of a sassy comeback to her taking a photo of him, and also when he remixes Optimus' words and shows a smiley face. Laserbeak too seems to exchange knowing glances with him and when he was targeted by the Autobots in RID Soundwave actually clenched his fists in anger before jumping to his rescue. I really wish more had been made of Laserbeak's character. Your content is amazing and I adore your channel! ♥ ♡ ♥ Maybe we'll see some more Starscream essays soon? No hurry though!

Soundwave having the "Taken Phone call" speech, is VERY fitting. Why? Because he's got skills he's acquired over a long career, that make him anyone's worse nightmare, he's very protective of his Minicon(s), and he immediately left with Laserbeak, when it looked like Laserbeak was apparently unconscious, and no apparent Autobot in sight. Also, Knowing Soundwave, he's likely to have found quotes of Taken, and found the line decent enough to be useful in interrogating someone... Not to mention that he literally trolled Optimus Prime when he was interrogating the Decepticon. It's funny to imagine Soundwave trolling the Autobots with that Taken Phone call.

10:33 One other thing that might explain Soundwave's actions is that he wouldn’t want to lose his last partner. Frenzy, Rumble, Ravage were all gone. Rian Johnson made a Star Wars movie with one of the themes was about winning the war by surviving. Soundwave may have felt the same fear of loosing his partner again like Arcee or the Wreckers. Tailgate, Cliffjumper, Seaspray. A long war costs a lot of lives. Always be careful of old men in a business where young men die. Because these veterans ain’t gonna lose their partners again.

I think part of the problem with all this disregard for Laserbeak throughout the show is that a *lot* of mainstream transformers media - both in the writers and the audience - has treated minicons with that exact mentality. Right since G1, all of Soundwave's minicons besides Rumble and Frenzy were pretty much just pets. Sure, in there was a lot of focus on minicons in the Unicron trilogy, but that's only because they were seen as tools/power-ups for larger transformers. Minicons as characters have really only gotten to shine in the comics. That said, in more recent years in TV shows, there has been more focus on minicons as characters, and theres even been in-universe recognition of the prejudices they experience (RiD 2015). In fairness, in-universe racism towards minicons does make sense as a societal issue they could experience, and there's potential for a lot of great storytelling and metaphors in it. Additionally, a lot of the writers/producers for mainstream content probably aren't doing it with the intent of disregarding minicons as characters; in the case of TFP Laserbeak, they may have just felt that there wasn't really room to focus on his personality, and it may have clashed with Soundwave's extreme silence throughout the show. There's also the chance that they may not even be aware they're doing it; for all they know, minicons could literally just be transformers animals and that's that, nothing deeper to look into. While this is an honest and forgivable mistake, and if it is indeed happening, the fact that it occurs so much tells me that they didn't put much (or any) effort into correcting this for a long time, though again, they might not even know they should be. TL;DR Ultimately, my point is that this in-universe disregard for minicons stems from the writers and producers of transformers content doing that themselves (which is, in itself, just one part of an even larger issue of "they're robots, they don't have real feelings" mindset that so many people look at transformers with, but that's a topic for another day; this comment is already long enough lol).

When Laserbeak transformed into pink Bumblebee I was in love! I really loved his part in Cyberverse. It showed his individuality. There is a episode for Rescue Bots Academy where the recruits have interactions with Laserbeak and have strong opinions about him. Then one of the recruits admits he was a decepticon. Perceptor lets them know that Laserbeak is cool and everyone can change or something like that. They never aired the episode,which is a shame.

One of the things I noticed, in G1, Soundwave would specifically give credit to his Minicons when they accomplish something. But since he doesn’t talk in Prime, and their does Laserbeak, that leads to the Decepticons giving Soundwave all the credit. Plus, in this show Laserbeak actually looks EXACTLY like a Drone. Most of his mass is his wings and his actual body doesn’t extend beyond them very much, and barely has a head. Kinda hard not to be seen as a drone, when ya look like one. If he looked like an actual robo birb, it’d probably be a different story. Just a thought I had.

Poor Laserbeak, people are so inconsiderate of him. I like how much Soundwave cares about him though, and I like how Starscream treats him like a sentient being:3 I also always saw Laserbeak as his own individual character, even if his credit does end up going to Soundwave. Also, on another note, I am curious about how Megatron feels about Starscream. I mean, we know Starscream hates and fears Megs and only becomes loyal out of his own need to survive. But what I wanna know is what does Megatron feel about Starscream? Does he hate Starscream? Does he like him? Does he see potential in him? His behavior towards Starscream in the series is pretty peculiar. Here we have a little guy who often betrays his master, yet the master just punishes him and lets him live, not even locking him up for his treachery. And he accepts Starscream back in their ranks so easily, despite having been away for so long and not being trustworthy at all. And let's not forget that he KILLED DREADWING TO SAVE STARSCREAM. True, as you said in an earlier video, he killed Dreadwing because he disobeyed his orders, but it still seems a bit odd considering how he treats Starscream throughout it all. Does Megatron really only keep Starscream around as a punching bag and to keep himself on his toes, or does Megatron actually care about Starscream in some way? I would like to see an analysis of Megatron's relationship with Starscream, if you get the time for it, of course. :) I love your character analyses, you go so deep into everything and even include other characters relevant to the main character's analysis. :3

Rubywing4 I could talk about Starscream and Megatron. The easiest explanation I see is that Megatron in his spark hates him, but at the same time is so used to him being around. He is attached to the bugger whether he realizes it or not, unable to dispose of him in cases when he would others. He doesn’t have reason to kpeep him around to be sharp, I mean he would rather have a useful second in command who offers ideas. And Starscream does constantly surprise him with ideas and offer entertainment. And Megatron figured out the pattern to control Starscream, whereas Dreadwing is too strong and can get out of control

@@emperorkumquat That's true, when I talked about Star "keeping Megs on his toes", I was thinking about the G1 version, which of course isn't the same as here, I forgot XP I just find their relationship interesting and funny, as it seems to be universal that Megatron can't seem to get himself to kill Starscream despite his treachery:P (perhaps with the exception of their Animated incarnations where Megatron really couldn't care less if Star is dead or alive... oh, and Cyberverse as well.)

I need to look through your videos. I'm curious what you think of Soundwave's aggression/passiveness. I notice he doesn't indulge ego or revenge. He frequently spares lives, esp the kids even though they prove to be a real threat, and only goes for the kill when ordered to. Just finished the video. The ending was great lol. Really good Laserbeak video! n_n I hope to see another really cool incarnation or sequel universe where we can have Soundwave's full team again.

In almost all continuities, the deployers are close friends of Soundwave. And in at least one continuity, Soundwave sided with Megatron because the Decepticon addressed Ravage separately from Soundwave, as an intelligent and fellow cybertronian.

Soundwave and Laserbeak are my favorites. It was a silent friendship and even though they were bad guys, I found them extremely likable.

PLOT TWIST!: Soundwave has his other minicons' minds and sparks downloaded into his database, and the way it would happen could be something like this; "What are you doing?" "I'm hacking into Soundwave's servers." "Soundwave has servers?" "But of what...?" "How many servers?" Lets see...each one has a gigantic file in it the first is labeled 'Ravage'...okay...the next is titled 'Frenzy'...strange...the third is named 'Rumble'...riiight...number four, five and six are 'Buzzsaw', 'Wingthing and 'Ratbat' (which seems to partially be larger than th others)...? Oh and the seventh is known as...."Extra back-up data for the minicons and I" which is a custom sever made from twenty three other severs and are all zetabyte class sever units with number seven being a yobibyte class unit?!?!?! That's almost bigger than the internet sever!" Meanwhile Soundwave has noticed the hacker in his database and remembers the other minicons and hacks Shockwaves files on making avatars and recontructing bodies. And stays undetected
