Soundwave has cool pets, an awesome voice, iconic style, provides bitching backing tracks, is very polite, intelligent, uniquely charismatic, loyal & respectful to his allies whilst still being able to put a motherfucker in their place when necessary. Honestly, he's the perfect husb- I mean leader
Clearly it is none other than the great STARSCREAM who should lead the Decepticons! Who but Starscream could lead both the Decepticons and Cybertron to an era of the most glory either has every experienced?!?!?
the constructicons have been shown in some continuities (idw g2) to be well organized amongst themselves but i genuinely think that the elitism at the core of the Decepticon high command would make them distrust the constructicons if Any of them survived.
furthermore, I think theyd Immediately alienate the other combiners - because as weve already seen, theres a bit of tension between them at almost all times. and while ailenating motormaster is easy as sneezing and has about as high stakes as that, onslaught is a genuine tactical genius and could
pose a sincere threat. hes already been shown to have little to no True loyalty to the cause - betraying megatron in G1, picking starscream in skybound, nearly attacking starscream in WFC - and unlike the constructicons, the combaticons are all on their own Very capable of rhetoric.
swindle alone is a serious heavy hitter of a character, and while its true vortex and brawl are more simple-minded, they're both so incredibly violent and have such unique presence on the battle field that they have an inherent draw to them that other lower grunts dont. i think if the high command
Soundwave for sure however the Constructicons would get up to some classic decepticon tomfoolery and shenanigans that I just couldn’t live without seeing.
The Constructicons are workin' bots, they have a better understanding of the material conditions of plundering Earth for Energon than Soundwave the big blue yes-machine. They can properly secure and maintain the rights of their fellow Cons.
Also, they form Devastator, the most powerful robot.
Comments
the Combaticons however...... I could be persuaded.
nightmare scenario
all of the main command gets nuked. the waves, starscream, megatron, all dead.
the constructicons are somehow up next
I sincerely dont think they have the rhetorical capacity to convince or command hold outs like deathsaurus or blitzwing
A vote for Sound wave is a vote for Starscream's camp of self-serving nepo babies
What was his name again?
Also, they form Devastator, the most powerful robot.
