Shadelock

Shadelock is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

"Aspire to become a distinguished hero like me!"

Shadelock is really only in it for the money. A cold and tenacious bounty hunter, he's cool under fire and heavily armed. While he's completely fine with committing truly atrocious acts as part of a contract, unlike some other bounty hunters, he doesn't really seem to take any pleasure from such cruelties... it's just part of the job. A job he's going to do well.

Fiction

2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon

Voice actor: Kirk Thornton (English)

During his hunt for the Mini-Cons, Starscream hired Shadelock and his crew to assist him. Mighty Big Trouble

Shadelock informed Starscream that he had found "one of them" as he watched a battle between some Autobots and a Decepticon over a minicon. Starscream instructed him to keep watching, in the hopes that he would lead them to the other Mini-Cons. Pretzel Logic

Shadelock and his team followed Starscream when he confronted the Scavengers, as he believed them to have the Mini-Cons he desired. Unfortunately, said Mini-Cons had already abandoned them before they arrived. The mission wasn't a total bust, however, as the Scavengers had managed to get their hands on the Dark Star Saber, which Starscream took for himself. After Starscream noted how powerful the Saber was, Shadelock insisted that he just pay him and his team and get on with his plan. Starscream, however, declined, claiming that there was no such thing as "too much power".

Shadelock tracked the Mini-Cons to a scrapyard, however the particular Mini-Cons Starscream was looking for had managed to evade them again, causing Shadelock to kidnap the wrong ones, which Starscream chastised Shadelock for. However, the revelation from one of the Mini-Cons that Starscream's old enemy Bumblebee was on Earth as well was enough to change his tune.Mighty Big Trouble
