Oops my mistake on the reference link part. It is now updated to direct to the proper wiki link.
Re: telepathy I will link to the comic source pages for evidence, if that is alright?
Outlier: Soundwave is a special Cybertronian in that he has a few extra abilities, making him an Outlier. And because an Outlier ability is weird, it's entirely possible for one to develop their ability and have it mutated to be something different.
With that in mind, his hearing is extraordinary, able to hear even a fly sneeze in a bustling city. From his super hearing, it developed him into an empath, enabling him to be able to read minds, emotions, and thoughts from a greater distance. He is able to establish a telepathic connection with anyone from any distance (Able to feel Ravage's death from a galaxy away which he may have a psychic link with him from their deep bond.). Someone is on another planet? He could focus on said someone to talk to them like he's in a face-to-face conversation (Ref 1 and 2 when Cosmos cries out for Soundwave's name. Note the fingers on the side, it could be interpreted as how he's able to focus and telepathically talk to someone. He's done the same when contacting Galvatron who was on Earth at the time. Soundwave was near Jupiter.). Though that doesn't mean his telepathy range is unlimited and it could still be disrupted by an outside source re; explosion. Along the same line, Soundwave can disrupt most form of radio transmission and communication (Soundwave disrupting the GI Joe communication devices with his abilities and then restoring them back online)
Though if a nerf is needed for his telepathic capabilities, I am fine with that!
