	Ten million years ago, the Maximal who would become "Shockwave" was one of the many Maximals who followed "[[Onyx Prime]]", unaware or unconcerned that this member of the [[Thirteen]] Primes was a cover identity used by the ''real'' [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]], thrown backwards in time by the collapse of his [[chronal drive]]. Following the end of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], Onyx and his Maximals departed [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] for good, and set a course for the dead world of [[Antilla]]. In time, Onyx would uncover the artifact he dubbed the "[[Talisman (G1)\|Talisman]]", part of an ancient doomsday weapon responsible for the planet's devastation.
