Soundblaster is a Mercenary from the Cyberverse continuity family.

There's vomit on his tape door already; Mom's spaghetti

"Revenge is a dish best served loud" would make a good motto for Soundblaster. He holds very long grudges against people over very minor things.

Millions of years ago, Soundblaster faced off against his rival Soundwave to see who would become the undisputed beat-boxing champion of the Decepticons. In front of a cheering crowd at Maccadam's, the two squared off in a sonic duel—and only Soundwave was left standing. Megatron proclaimed him the winner, and a humiliated Soundblaster stalked away, abandoning his Decepticon insignia and Cybertron altogether.

Soundblaster found a new home among Trypticon's Mercenaries, including his bird Buzzsaw. Now equipped with an awesome time blaster that could paralyze entire planets, Soundblaster and his crew looted and destroyed one world after another, including the former home of the Dinobots, killing their leader Tiny Arms. Once they had gained enough power, Soundblaster led an assault on Cybertron itself—freezing all Autobots, Decepticons, and even the native wildlife. In the midst of his subsequent looting spree, Soundblaster located his old foe Soundwave, and un-froze his head so he would be able to hear Soundblaster's triumphant gloating. Soundblaster promised to take away the one thing Soundwave truly cared about—and then tore Laserbeak out of his old rival's chest compartment and put it within his own. Soundblaster then fixed Soundwave within an infinite resonator—a device that refracts and amplifies all sound waves back into its unfortunate victims, tearing them apart. Soundblaster further taunted his helpless foe, sure of the success of his revenge plot—but then Volcanicus interfered, waging his own fight to restore Cybertron and in the process releasing Soundwave. Now freed, Soundwave attacked, only to be frozen again by Soundblaster. However, this angered Laserbeak, who escaped Soundblaster's chest with Buzzsaw in pursuit. Soundblaster tried to shoot the Decepticon bird, only to hit Buzzsaw by mistake.

To be fair, this is a pretty standard "severance package" for Trypticon's employees.

Soundblaster's team lost the subsequent battle and was trapped by Volcanicus. When Trypticon entered the fray, Soundblaster started gloating again—but then a very stern Trypticon said that as project head for this particular freezing-and-looting effort, Soundblaster was responsible for its failure and was now fired. As Trypticon then slugged it out with Volcanicus, a mighty swipe of Trypticon's tail destroyed the mercenaries' prison but also ended up severing Soundblaster's legs, which were promptly vaporized by a stray blast. The rest of the Mercenaries retreated, with Soundblaster weakly clinging to Nightbird's rear bumper. Though shocked that Trypticon himself was defeated, Soundblaster and crew took the opportunity to escape in their ship to plot for another day. The Immobilizers

Notes

• Like the other Cyberverse Mercenaries, Soundblaster's model is a recolour of an existing character. In his case, that's Soundwave.
  • Similar to Soundwave, he is never shown transforming into his alt-mode.
• Cyberverse Soundblaster shares many traits with his counterpart in the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon, including being a separate individual from Soundwave, being a high-ranking Mercenary, and having Buzzsaw as his minion.
