* Demolishor is a clear homage to the [[Demolishor (Armada)|''Armada'' character of the same name]]—Play.com calls him "a regular character in the animated television show and one of Megatron's most faithful troops".

Jazz (WFC)

:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Prime]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:WFC_Jazz.jpg|thumb|300px|Apparently [[Primus]] isn't a matter of belief but his [[Thirteen original Transformers|children]] are.]]

'''Jazz''' is a cool and collected Autobot. Before the war he was part of the caste tasked with cultural observation and analysis, which gave him more freedom and a wider perspective on the world than his good friend Orion Pax. Though the war has changed much of his life (he is now a skilled and deadly combatant), two things remain constant: his dedication to the friend who is now also his leader [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], and the interest he takes in all facets of culture, wherever his travels lead.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===
Jazz was a cultural investigator who came to the [[Hall of Records]] to analyze new data from the [[Grid]], which was where he befriended Orion Pax. He secretly attended the [[gladiatorial combat]] in [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. When Orion told him about the gladiator [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]us and his movement to abolish the [[caste system]], Jazz suggested going to [[Kaon]] or that at the very least he should contact Megatronus, considering how much Orion agreed with his ideas. Orion followed his advice, and began following at least one of Megatron (the gladiator had shortened his name on the crowd's suggestion) by practicing self defense with Jazz.

When terrorists began bombing in Megatron's name, Megatron took Orion to a gladiatorial pit in Iacon, exposing Jazz's secret. Jazz attended the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]'s hearing with Orion and Megatron and gestured to Orion to be strong in the face of the Council's accusations. After Orion was promoted to Optimus Prime, Jazz joined his Autobots and told him not to mourn every lost soldier following the capture of [[Fort Scyk]]. He, Optimus and [[Sideswipe (Prime)|Sideswipe]] led the Autobots to victory at [[Kalis]] by taking down the combiner [[Bruticus Maximus (Prime)|Bruticus Maximus]].

Jazz was with others in Optimus's inner circle — [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]], [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (Prime)|Prowl]] — when the war turned into a siege of Iacon and [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] informed Optimus of a new weapon aboard [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station. He asked them what they knew about [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]]. Jazz joked that it was time for school, but Prowl chided him for making fun at Alpha Trion's expense and that if the Archivist had something to say, it was important. Alpha Trion explained Energon was the emanation of [[Primus]], to which Jazz quipped he still didn't know what that was, prompting laughter from Ironhide and Prowl. Alpha Trion then said Megatron's weapon was [[Dark Energon]], the essence of [[Unicron]], and Jazz stopped joking when he realized a confrontation with superpowered Decepticons was imminent.

Indeed, it was Jazz's team that first encountered Darkened Decepticons at Maintenance Port A46, along the Iacon-[[Kalis]] energy conduit. Though faster than any Decepticon and able to evade them, the Darkened gladiators wiped out his six-member unit. Autobots continually had to flee whenever Darkened Decepticons appeared, but Optimus realized Dark Energon was inefficient and Decepticons always had to retreat if a battle was prolonged. Jazz suggested they continue to fight back.

When Megatron came to Iacon to steal the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], Jazz fought with [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] against the Darkened Decepticons, but Megatron was too powerful and took the Chamber to contaminate the [[core]] of Cybertron. Jazz went with Optimus and Prowl in rescuing Sentinel Prime from Kaon, getting briefly paralyzed by a guard's whip, though he was still able to hear Sentinel's last words. After Sentinel's funeral in Iacon, Optimus asked Jazz if he believed the [[thirteen original Transformers]] existed, to which he replied he didn't, though he saw great metaphorical value in them.

Optimus journeyed to the core, purifying it and obtaining the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. He returned ordering the commencement of [[Ark (Prime)|Project Generation One]] and the evacuation of Cybertron, a notion [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] found suicidal but which Jazz defended. He coined the ship's name: the ''Ark''. Jazz helped down Trypticon as part of the ''[[Eight Track]]'' crew — bearing the brunt of Trypticon's drones' attacks with Prowl and Ironhide — before boarding the ''Ark''. Despite Jazz's fears about the last [[space bridge]], it transported the Autobots to a [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]] away from the Decepticons and near the [[AllSpark (Prime)|AllSpark]]. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}

Jazz was one of many Autobots who was captured by the Decepticons and sent to the [[Kaon]] prison complex. He passed the time in incarceration by doing push ups in his cell, waiting for the day he would be able to break out. That chance came when [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]], [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sideswipe (Prime)|Sideswipe]] (who had allowed themselves to be captured) opened all the cells in Kaon during a daring attempted rescue mission of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]]. [[Air Raid (Prime)|Air Raid]] led the prisoners to transport ships, with which they escaped.

Shockwave (WFC)

:''Shockwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Prime]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:War for Cybertron Shockwave.jpg|250px|thumb|right|"When your hit percentage exceeds mine, YOU may choose the soundtrack!"]]
'''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.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===
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.

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]].

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.

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}}
