'''Shockblast''' packs an incredible amount of strength and firepower inside his chassis, and he knows it. Hugely egotistical, cold, ruthless, and a genius, Shockblast is is sometimes loyal to Megatron but occasionally acts like Starscream and seeks to overthrow his master. Shockblast's capacity for ruthlessness exceeds even that of Megatron which makes his personailty a cross beetween his leaders and starscream's. However dispite that, Starscream himself even under Megatron's control seems to respect Shockblast. He's also very sadistic, casually killing solely for the fun of it. He revels in destruction, and he's not particularly bothered which side is
doing the exploding.

Shockblast is the brother of [[Six Shot]]. He has an unspecified history with [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]; the two hate each other, probably because Shockblast is a jerk.

Later, Shockblast was part of the Decepticon party that had cornered [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and a wounded [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]. However, Shockblast was blown away by the combined power of Optimus and the newly-arrived [[Wing Saber]]. {{Storylink|Energon (mini-comic)}}

''Shockblast was a member of [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]'s platoon prior to Tidal Wave [[Awakening|being called]] [[Detection|to earth]]. After eliminating their Autobot enemies, he grew bored and began to attack and destroy his own Decepticon allies. Following the end of the Mini-Con war, Shockblast and [[Six Shot]] made efforts to end the uneasy peace, and so were eventually captured by the Autobot/Decepticon coalition some time between the death of [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] {{storylink|Mortal Combat}} and the appearance of [[Alpha Q]] {{storylink|The New Cybertron City}}.''

He was held prisoner deep inside [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], under near-constant supervision due to his status as a dangerous Decepticon war criminal. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} During a Decepticon uprising, Shockblast escaped and slaughtered most of the Autobot guards, including [[Padlock]], earning the ever-lasting hatred of [[Wing Dagger]]. Megatron decided to add Shockblast to his team, and dispatched Tidal Wave to Cybertron to retrieve him. The two immediately began to squabble, ''reviving their old emnity''. Shockblast damaged Cybertron's [[Energon grid|energon grid]] before fleeing the planet. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}}

Shockblast proved difficult to work with, and spent much of his time insulting and belittling the other Decepticons - so much so that when Unicron began attacking those who were attempting to use its body, Tidal Wave initially blamed Shockblast {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}. Nonetheless, he was quickly given command of Megatron's troops and told to lead an assault on Cybertron, to destroy the rest of the energon grid. Unfortunately, Tidal Wave was severely damaged during Shockblast's attack due to Shockblast's own carelessness, leading to his reformatting into [[Tidal Wave (Armada)#Energon|Mirage]]. Wing Dagger attempted to capture Shockblast during this attack, but was also crushed under the same falling energon tower that damaged Tidal Wave. {{storylink|Each One Fights...}}

Shockblast regarded Megatron with a high level of contempt {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}}, and eventually attempted to overthrow Megatron and take command of Unicron. This didn't go so well for him. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}}

[[Image:Shockblast tentacles.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Tentacles. In a Japanese cartoon. This isn't going to end well...]]

On the other side of the [[Rift (Energon)|rift in space]], he crash landed alone on [[Iron Planet]]. Surrounded by Autobots, he was defeated by the reborn Wing Dagger, [[Wing Saber]], captured and chained up. {{storylink|Protection}} For a time, Megatron refused to rescue him, but finally freed him, while capturing his guard Inferno at the same time. Shockblast was subsequently demoted to the bottom of the ranks for his treachery. {{storylink|Improsoned Inferno}}

[[Image:Shockblast smoosh.jpg|right|180px|thumb|..Told ya.]]
Shockblast eventually tricked Megatron and attempted to assume control of Unicron in his stead. The full power of Unicron proved too much for him to handle, however; it drove him insane, sending him on a mindless rampage under Unicron's control. He crashed on [[Blizzard Planet]], where Optimus Prime battled him while trying to reach past Unicron to reach the real Shockblast. Prime's words worked, and Shockblast managed to free himself. He turned his firepower on Unicron, but the Chaos Bringer brought one hand down on the surface of Blizzard Planet, and Shockblast was crushed before Prime's horrified eyes. {{storylink|The Power}}

*'''Shockblast''' (Mega, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SD-14'''
**''Accessories'': Missile

: Shockblast transforms into a Cybertronic laser-tank, plus has a third satellite-cannon mode. His cannon-arm contains a spring-loaded missile launcher and an electronic sound gimmick (which refuses to shut up most of the time). His design is obviously an [[homage]] to the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]].

: Many specimens of this toy have the same problem: in satellite mode, a peg on one of his legs will not fit into the corresponding slot to hold the mode together. Also, his torso connects to his legs via a ''very'' small hinge, which is quite susceptible to breaking.

: The Japanese version of Shockblast, named '''Laserwave''', differs from the Hasbro release, with slightly more detailed paint deco and using a cooler grey plastic colour.

: This mold was also used to make ''Energon'' [[Six Shot]].

==Trivia==
* Shockblast's right shoulder-armor was used for the shoulders of the [[Autobot nurse]] [[generic]] model in the [[Energon (cartoon)|''Energon'' cartoon]].
*Shockblast's personailty is similer to G1 Starscream.
* Shockblast's body was also used as the basis for [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]]'s pre-beast body in "[[Theft of the Golden Disk]]".
* Shockblast probably would've been called Shockwave if weren't for the fact that [[Hasbro]] didn't have the [[trademark]] for the name "Shockwave" at the time. This is supported by at least two facts: He's called Laserwave in the Japanese version (Laserwave is Shockwave's Japanese name), and in the same year, a [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators|second Shockwave homage figure]] was released into the [[Alternators]] series, also officially called Shockblast, but bearing a license plate reading "SHKWAV". Hasbro has subsequently reclaimed the "Shockwave" trademark.
