But the problem is, there's not much you can do with 'has no emotions' for a character trait. It comes off as boring. Notice how Spock and other Vulcans only ever get interesting when they go nuts.

Starscream dealing with Orion was the most enjoyable part of this 3-parter for me... it's a pity it was interrupted before it could even go anywhere. Also, I wonder what'd have happened if Orion had met Airachnid... that'd have been a sure tip-off he is in bad company. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

I totally disagree. They work extremely well, especially when used alongside emotional characters they compliment - see the Tuvok-Neelix relationship in Voyager, or Data trying to learn emotions with Geordi.

The main problem with Soundwave is not emotionlessness - it's that he doesn't even react. He just stands there most of the time, doing nothing. You could replace him with a Vehicon and it wouldn't be a difference. Heck, the two Vehicons who took their agression out on a defenseless Orion Pax had more characterisation then Soundwave.
