'''Shockwave''' was a member of the scientist caste in the industrial city of [[Kaon]]. In a reversal of the usual order, he was swayed by the ambitions of the former mining caste member turned gladiator [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. Serving as Megatron's "pet mad scientist" and [[second-in-command]], he saw to the fighter's armament during his rise to prominence, all the while fantasizing on the prospect of ''mass producing'' such warriors. Thankfully, Megatron's more practical nature reined in Shockwave as the movement which became the Decepticons finally moved out of the shadows.<br />

Shockwave was a scientist who lived on the fringes of Cybertronian society, admitting to [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]] he knew little of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. He was one of the scientists whose innovations allowed the mass production of stressed-crystal material used to build [[Crystal City]]. There he began his [[combiner]] experiments, creating [[Bruticus Maximus (Prime)|Bruticus Maximus]], whose lack of intelligence in combined form made him a danger to friend and foe, and he was put in [[stasis lock]]. Shockwave moved to [[Kaon]], becoming a surgeon for the gladiators, where he met [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]us. He continued his combination experiments with the three [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s, whom Megatronus bested in combat: it was in this match that the crowd chanted a shorter name for the gladiator, Megatron. Megatron recognized two things about Shockwave: that he was absent of any morality and ethics, and that while he was his most loyal ally, he would turn on him one day.<br />
<br />
During the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war, Shockwave perfected his experiments with the [[Constructicon (Prime)|Constructicon]]s, creating a [[Devastator (Prime)|Devastator]] which was unleashed on Crystal City. Shockwave set up a laboratory in the ruins but was ordered to take command of the newly conquered city state [[Tarn]]. Autobot sympathizers became fodder for experiments, while Shockwave's forces conquered [[Vos]]. He quelled dissent in both cities by requesting Vos' Air Commanders [[photon missile]] strike Tarn, for which he claimed the Autobots were responsible, and then had a photon missile strike (of supposedly unknown origin) ordered on Vos, killing the Air Commanders whose true loyalty lay with [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]].<br />
<br />
When the Decepticons captured [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station, Shockwave oversaw two of Starscream's scientists ingest [[Dark Energon]]: the powerful result activated a security [[gyro-inhibitor charge]] which rendered Shockwave unconscious. Shockwave later subjected the two subjects to a deprivation study, and found it necessary to muzzle them as the duo agonized as a result of Dark Energon's absence in their bodies. Shockwave also used the [[Spark]]s of those killed in the capture to turn Trypticon into a Decepticon, able to spawn drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicons]] in its corridors. <br />
<br />
Shockwave remained on Cybertron as Megatron and his elite left on the ''Nemesis'' to pursue the Autobot ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]''. Shockwave promised Megatron that Cybertron would remain as he left it, the notion of which Megatron chastised. He ordered Shockwave to rebuild Cybertron and enslave the remaining Autobots. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}<br />

Shockwave was a scientist who lived on the fringes of Cybertronian society, admitting to [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]] he knew little of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. He was one of the scientists whose innovations allowed the mass production of stressed-crystal material used to build [[Crystal City]]. There he began his [[combiner]] experiments, creating [[Bruticus Maximus (Prime)|Bruticus Maximus]], whose lack of intelligence in combined form made him a danger to friend and foe, and he was put in [[stasis lock]]. Shockwave moved to [[Kaon]], becoming a surgeon for the gladiators, where he met [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]us. He continued his combination experiments with the three [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s, whom Megatronus bested in combat: it was in this match that the crowd chanted a shorter name for the gladiator, Megatron. Megatron recognized two things about Shockwave: that he was absent of any morality and ethics, and that while he was his most loyal ally, he would turn on him one day.<br />

<br />
When the Decepticons captured [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station, Shockwave oversaw two of Starscream's scientists ingest [[Dark Energon]]: the powerful result activated a security [[gyro-inhibitor charge]] which rendered Shockwave unconscious. Shockwave later subjected the two subjects to a deprivation study, and found it necessary to muzzle them as the duo agonized as a result of Dark Energon's absence in their bodies. Shockwave also used the [[Spark]]s of those killed in the capture to turn Trypticon into a Decepticon, able to spawn drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicons]] in its corridors. <br />

<br />
'''Starscream''' was the Air Commander of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s finest air warriors. But once the war began, Starscream saw opportunity with the rebel upstart [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. Now he leads the countless Seekers who joined Megatron's Decepticons. Some day, he plans to undermine Megatron and take his leadership position for himself yadda yadda yadda.<br />
<br />
{{quote|Perfect, just like the one who fired it!|Starscream after achieving a headshot.|"[[War for Cybertron]]"}}<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===<br />
<br />
Starscream may or may not have had a history as a scientist. Regardless of what he did prior, in the early days before the war began he was one of the leaders of the Cybertronian Air Command. As [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] fell in chaos following bombings by [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]] followers, Starscream aided in [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]]'s kidnapping during an attack at [[Altihex]] Casino where the Prime was attending a performance by comedian [[Armorhide (Prime)|Armorhide]]. This earned him loyalty with Megatron, but wary of how sour a revolution could quickly turn Starscream opted not to be directly involved in the gladiator's operations, posting his Seekers at [[Moonbase One|Moon Base One]] and [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station. Megatron was intrigued by why Starscream wanted to occupy "that semi-sentient pile of junk" but despite [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]]'s research they found no clues, with information regarding the Station seemingly censored.<br />
<br />
Whenever Starscream's Seekers were present, the Decepticons were victorious in battle against the [[Autobot]]s. Starscream however, found Megatron's strategies overly convoluted. As the war devolved into a siege of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]] Megatron and [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], by probing into forgotten areas of the [[DataNet]], discovered Trypticon was a storage of [[Dark Energon]], the life essence of [[Unicron]]. When questioned, Starscream explained since even the Air Command was not sure what Dark Energon was, he had forbidden its use, fearing the damage Megatron's gladiators would unleash. Megatron forgave Starscream, noting how he "was smart enough to be afraid of it", and was granted access.<br />
<br />
Starscream sent a message to the Autobots proposing a meeting. Optimus only granted him a communication channel. Starscream stated if the Autobots did not know what Dark Energon was (they did) they would need to find out — and asked what would he could expect from them if something happened to Megatron. Optimus replied that he sought a just peace. Starscream said he understood, broke off the conversation and flew to [[Kaon]] Prison where Sentinel was held. Starscream offered Sentinel a chance to redeem his cowardly behavior at Altihex. The ultimate aim of this road to becoming Decepticon leader was to become [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] in a peace settlement with Optimus, and lead Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]]. Starscream then flew to Moon Base One when Megatron ordered him to Trypticon, where he found the Decepticons had invaded the Station and slaughtered and maimed his scientists. <br />
<br />
Megatron and [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] forced Starscream to select two survivors to absorb [[Dark Energon]], for what was a successful experiment. Requiring more for the Decepticon war effort, he ordered Starscream to capture the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]], below the ruins of [[Crystal City]]. Empowered by his first taste of Dark Energon, Starscream activated the device that transmitted Energon to the Station for it to be Darkened. But the Bridge still do not produce enough, and Starscream was ordered to find the Code [[Key of Power]] and [[Key of Justice]] to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] underneath the [[High Council Tower]] in Iacon. Starscream decided it was time to release Sentinel, renouncing Dark Energon after realizing Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts. Starscream found the Key of Power within the [[Hall of Justice]] and flew underground to find his plan had failed, as Megatron had mortally wounded Sentinel. He could see within Sentinel's body was the Key of Justice, but was prevented from taking it by [[Blackout (Prime)|Blackout]]. Megatron fought Starscream to a standstill, sparing him because he realized he was a better soldier than a would-be example. <br />
<br />
As Megatron entered the Chamber, [[Teletraan-1]] activated the legendary [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] to fly it away. Aware Starscream had a better chance of escaping Omega's awakening, Megatron ordered the Seekers to down Omega, which they successfully did, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve the Chamber and corrupt the [[core]] of Cybertron. As Cybertron became uninhabitable, the Autobots left on the largest starship ever built - the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]''. Starscream left the planet with Megatron as they gave pursuit on Trypticon, now a ''Nemesis''-class supercruiser. The two ships entered a [[space bridge]], which separated the two ships to unknown parts of space... {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}<br />

{{quote|Have no fear, Lord Megatron. Under my leadership, Decepticon victory is assured!|Starscream being all modest.|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}<br />
<br />
For the last thousand years of [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Starscream was in charge of an orbital production facility that produced [[Dark Energon]]. The station's force of neutral soldiers were no match for Megatron's invading forces, while Starscream and [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]]'s repeated warnings that no one could control Dark Energon had no effect on Megatron. Instead, Megatron tempted Starscream with knowledge of his past, reminding him of his demotion from Sky Commander to a mere guard, and offered him to join the Decepticons, something Starscream scoffed at. Starscream attempted to destroy the station's stock of Dark Energon before the Decepticon leader could reach it, but failed, and watched with shock as Megatron infused himself with the substance. Starscream quickly volunteered his services for the Decepticon cause, causing [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] to label him a traitor. Megatron sent him with [[Thundercracker (Prime)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to reactivate the [[Energon Bridge]]. Starscream performed the mission successfully using his trademark style, flair, and modesty.<br />
<br />
During the Battle of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon City]], Starscream and [[Brawl (Prime)|Brawl]] lead the Decepticons' main attack force, while Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] went behind enemy lines and tried to secure the [[Omega Key]]. When Megatron's group met up with Brawl, Starscream refused to send Dark Energon bombers, saying that he wouldn't let Brawl waste anymore of "his ships". Megatron took issue with Starscream dubbing the bombers his, and overrode Starscream's refusal. Later that evening, while looking for the "real" Omega Key, they ran into it: [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]. Starscream assumed Megatron was killed when Omega attacked a dropship Megatron was heading for and declared himself Decepticon commander. Shortly afterward, Megatron managed to communicate with Starscream and ordered him to attack Omega Supreme, getting the massive Autobot off of Megatron's back. By the time Megatron's group were heading for the [[Ion turret]]s, Starscream was ready to sound a retreat, which Megatron overrode with the threat of marking any retreating Decepticon as "kill on sight". Fortunately, Megatron managed to defeat Omega Supreme, making the retreat unnecessary.<br />
<br />
As the Battle of Iacon continued, Starscream fought through Jetfire and [[Silverbolt (Prime)|Silverbolt]], and attacked [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]]'s group in the [[Decagon]]. However, the Air Commander was injured by Optimus's [[Energon-axe]] and forced to retreat. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br />

* A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtyYt7oRMhs Gamestop commercial] describes Shockwave as second-in-command of the Decepticons, and [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] is never officially referred to as such.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''second-in-command''' refers to a [[Transformer]] whose status is...well, second to the commander's. A Transformer who is second-in-command is not necessarily ranked '''Sub-Commander''', while a Transformer ranked Sub-Commander is usually the second-in-command. The rank generally varies between factions. For the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Maximal]]s, the rank is usually overlooked, but it still receives [[Sub-Commander's Day|its own holiday]]. For the [[Decepticon]]s, choosing a Second-in-Command is a very tough decision. Pick one too loyal, and everyone will ignore him. Pick one too bold, and the leader may find himself [[scrap]].<br />
