'''Shockwave''' is a ''morally ambiguous''(?) being who works in the Menacing and Foreboding Sciences Division of the [[Axiom Nexus]] military. He's backed up by an army of completely silent soldiers. He's a very serious-minded figure who dissects people for the greater good, under the command of [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]].

Megatron first enlisted Shockwave as a prisoner of war, after the defeat of Shockwave's former master, [[Jhiaxus (TransTech)|Jhiaxus]], in the aftermath of the "[[Liege Maximo]] incident." During these early years, Shockwave singlehandedly forged Cybertronian technological advances, but darkly. It was for these war crimes that Shockwave was almost executed, had Megatron not interceded. Though decidedly amoral, Shockwave and his talents could be extremely useful if directed properly.<ref>[[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 22|Shockwave's TFCC profile]]</ref>

He never wants to speak of his traumatic encounter with the beings from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Malgus Cluster]] again.

When [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], and [[Sari Sumdac]] arrived in the [[TransTech]] dimension, Shockwave arrested Optimus and Sari for being a [[Prime (disambiguation)|Prime]] and having a [[:Category:MacGuffins|MacGuffin]], respectively, which are forbidden in Axiom Nexus. He apprehended [[AllSpark Key|Sari's key]] for a while until Bumblebee, [[Flareup (Timelines)|Flareup]], and [[Megatron (BW)|"Joe"]] came to the rescue. However, "Joe" was actually Megatron, who was planning to steal the key and use it for his own twisted purposes.

After being defeated by Megatron and his army, helping the others defeat Megatron by telling the army the downsides of Cybertronian life, and giving Sari back her key, Shockwave used his proper authority to return the Malgus trio to their own dimension and swore to never speak of this again! {{storylink|Bee in the City}}

Shockwave's attention was drawn to three targets of interest that had been drawn to [[Axiom Nexus]]. The three were assigned to [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]'s care, and while the group walked through the city, Shockwave's goons grabbed one of them, [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 1}} Breakaway soon found himself in Shockwave's lab, strapped to a table with his communicators disabled. As Commander Megatron approached, Shockwave assured his victim that his suffering would benefit his people. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 2}}

Soon [[Ratbat (TransTech)|Senator Ratbat]] came to observe, as he was worried about the legalities of this operation. Shockwave noted that Breakaway's physiology presented unimaginable learning possibilities, and that his death, though regrettable, was an acceptable price to pay. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 3}}

But Alpha Trion, [[:Category:Alpha Trion's acolytes|his acolytes]], and the [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|two other]] [[Landquake (Timelines)|targets-of-interest]] had other ideas. They ambushed the [[Transwarp Complex]] and quickly and violently made their way into Shockwave's lab. Though Shockwave's preparations for his experiments on Breakaway were not complete, Megatron ordered the scientist into battle. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 5}}

Shockwave ended up facing off against the giant [[Immorticon]], and fared very poorly in the match-up. Megatron was able to render assistance by blasting Immorticon into oblivion, but not before Shockwave suffered a great deal of crushing and removal of body parts. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 6}}

* Shockwave's design was originally created when ''[[Transcendent Technomorph|Transtech]]'' was a planned sequel to ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'', and is often assumed to have been a returning [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. His [[Fun Publications]] self is a different person, however.
*Remember, ''not'' evil—morally ambiguous.
*His hobbies include, respectively: conducting <s>an evil</s> a ''morally ambiguous'' experiment, filing a report of said experiment, having a cup of afternoon tea, and listening to [[Starscream (TransTech)|Starscream]] whine.

'''Optimus introduces us to Megatron.'''

==Synopsis==

[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] speaks to us about [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] and how, up until recently, he was but a urban legend amongst [[Autobot]]s. Optimus mentions that he is one of the very few who've faced his dual [[sword]]s and [[Fusion cannon]], and lived. He mentions how, upon arriving on [[Earth]], he has taken on the [[Alternate mode]] of an assault helicopter and that he's developed a [[A Bridge Too Close, Part I|signal dampener]] which means his Decepticon signature is undetectable while in vehicle mode. Megatron seems to maintain leadership through a mix of cruelty, treachery and ruthlessness and claims to be a freedon fighter for the Decepticons. But Optimus knows well, that his rule has no ''freedom'' about it.
