Notes:
For the most part, the FST is pretty clearly upbeat, but it progresses into something darker that I felt needed some explanations. Starting probably with 11, it's some self-deprecation along with assurance for the audience, and 12 and 13 are of the similar less cheerful inclination. 14 is a mashup of Let's Dance and Sweet Dreams, so it's the idea of "things are rough but no I'm really okay." 15 goes with the "it's tough but I must go on" feeling, whereas 16 expresses the struggling amount of losses Soundwave has suffered. (Rumble in canon, Rodimus in Axiom, and Starscream in Re/Al) 17 is more or less his shared theme with Fortress Maximus, and 18 has everything to do with the time he tried to read SG!Optimus Prime's mind. For the most part, Soundwave is upbeat and cheerful -- but sometimes there are cracks.

I would like to thank Mindy for 9, 17, and 18, ladyofdragons for 11 and 12, and Theo for 8.
