>>7637919That's pretty much how Megatron at least was in Prime and Bayverse at first.
And yeah, I do like that idea sometimes but it all depends on the story being told. A lot of times Decepticons are on Earth to do more schemey things, in which case it would benefit to fly around as an Earth based jet as opposed to some alien craft, but yeah I don't mind either....like Cybertron modes, like Earth modes...and as a Soundwave fanboy I've basically long come to grips with the fact that you can't give him an incredibly cool altmode without changing the way he looks too much. I liked the idea of both a drone and a stealth bomber Soundwave, but neither lended themselves to looking very much like the the G1 character if that's the intent
To me the major pluses of a Soundwave are if it resembles the original Soundwave more than less, and if it has the minion gimmick, more so than having a cool alt mode.
