Upper Torso and Chest Compartment

The Mercenary Badge: Instead of a traditional Decepticon badge, he proudly sports the crossbones-style Mercenary faction symbol centered right over his chest window. Centered prominently at the very top of his chest door is the white-and-red Mercenary faction logo (a stylized Decepticon crest crossed with bones), signaling his rogue status.

Extruded "Double-Cassette" Door: His chest tape-deck frame is significantly thicker, deeper, and protrudes further out than standard Soundwave's. This physical alteration is engineered specifically to house up to two cassette minions at the same time. Physically, his chest door is noticeably thicker and deeper than Soundwave's, modified to carry up to two cassette minions at once also translucent dark redwindow over his tape deck.

Translucent Red Window: The door itself is made of clear, translucent crimson plastic, allowing a view into the inner mechanisms of his chest cavity.

Shoulders and Collar: His collar area features gold-painted detailing, flanked by heavy, blocky black shoulder pauldrons. His right shoulder features a dedicated mount for his signature sonic cannon.

Arms and Forearms

Upper Arms: The bicep and upper shoulder areas are cast in a dark, unpainted charcoal grey plastic.

Forearms and Gauntlets: The forearms transition back to heavy jet-black armor plates. The outer edges of his forearms feature geometric line paneling heavily flecked with silver battle-damage paint to simulate wear and tear from Cybertronian street warfare.

Hands: His hands are cast in a matching dark grey and molded into a standard fist position, capable of holding his dark blasters.

Lower Torso and Waist

Abdominal Section: Below the tape deck, his lower torso features a heavily sculpted, mechanical grill design painted in bright metallic silver.

Waist and Hip Skirt: The hip armor is cast in matte black, bordered by two small, rectangular horizontal accent panels painted in bright gold.

Legs and Feet

Thighs: His upper thighs are relatively slender compared to his lower legs, cast in the same dark charcoal grey plastic used on his biceps.

Lower Legs / Shins: His shins are massive, blocky black pylons that give him a grounded, heavy-set silhouette. The front panels of these lower legs are heavily detailed with mechanical vents, wires, and a heavy spattering of silver scuff/battle weathering.

Thruster Details: Embedded into the sides of his lower legs are golden-yellow painted circular rings that serve as detailing for his alternate vehicle mode's thrusters.

Feet: His feet are wide, flat black blocks with built-in ankle-tilt articulation, giving him a very stable, armored stance.

Body Colors: He retains the physical chassis of Soundwave but sports a distinct black, dark gray, and red color scheme instead of classic Decepticon blue. Primarily black, dark grey, and silver instead of Soundwave's signature blue and white layout.

The dim, neon-flickering alleys of the Tetrahex underworld buzzed with the low hum of illegal modifications, smuggled tech, and desperate bots whispering in the shadows. This was the black market—a lawless haven for neutral scavengers and gun-for-hire mercenaries who wore the crossbones insignia with grim pride. Energon fumes hung thick in the air, mixed with the sharp scent of burning oil and rusted metal.

Through the crowd walked Soundblaster.

His heavy, black-and-crimson armored pedes clicked rhythmically against the grime-covered metal floor. He was a striking, ominous echo of the Decepticon Communications Officer—a perfect twin in physical silhouette, yet completely wrong in every way that mattered to the bots watching him. Where Soundwave was a calculated extension of Megatron’s will, Soundblaster was an independent beast, driven purely by the thrill of profit and survival.

As his massive frame moved past the makeshift merchant stalls, the atmosphere shifted instantly:

Scavengers and low-tier mercs immediately lowered their optics, hurriedly covering up high-grade Energon cubes or stolen blueprint datapads they didn't want him to seize.

The rowdy chatter of a nearby gambling den fell dead silent, the heavy silence spreading like a virus the moment his shadow stretched over their table.

A pair of rogue bounty hunters stepped completely off the main walkway, pressing their backs against a crumbling support pillar just to give him a wide, uninterrupted berth.

It wasn't just respect; it was survival instinct. They all knew him as the failed experiment who outlived his creator’s execution order. They knew that behind that deep crimson chest door—thick enough to house a deadly pair of cassette minions—rested a processor that cared nothing for the Autobot cause or Decepticon loyalty. To Soundblaster, every bot in this market was either a customer, a source of information, or scrap metal waiting to be sold.

His red visor swept across the market, filtering the heat signatures and radio frequencies of the scum around him. He wasn't here for a routine trade today. He was looking for a distraction. Ever since his last crossing with Soundwave, a persistent glitch of irritation had been scratching at his subroutines. His "twin" still looked down on him as a cheap carbon copy, a mere glitch in Shockwave’s lab.

“Let him play the loyal dog to a dying empire,” Soundblaster’s internal vocal synthesizer hummed with cold amusement.

He paused near a dimly lit tech-broker's stall, his audio receptors catching a strange, encrypted frequency bleeding through the local airwaves. Someone nearby was carrying something—or someone—highly unusual. A slow, dangerous smirk formed behind his mouthplate. He tapped his thick chest plate lightly, the internal mechanism whirring to life as his cassettes prepared to deploy on his command.It was time to see who in this wretched market was brave enough to entertain him.
