Considered to be one of the most dangerous and deadly Decepticons, Shockblast was captured by the Autobots and imprisoned on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. In the Earth year 2020, when [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] attacked Cybertron with [[Unicron]], he instructed some Decepticon agents on the planet to liberate Shockblast. Shockblast, however, had already begun to effect his own escape amidst the chaos Megatron's attack was causing, and rended his bonds just as a Decepticon agent arrived at his cell, and was killed by Shockblast simply because he had no need of him. In making his escape, Shockblast killed one of his guards, [[Padlock]], causing his other jailor, Wing Dagger, to swear revenge.
Shockblast immediately rankled under Megatron's leadership, and was attacked by Wing Saber when he led a new attack on Cybertron. Tidal Wave was ordered to aid him, but Shockblast had already collapsed an [[Energon Tower]] and dragged Wing Dagger under it, severely damaging him, and accidentally injuring Tidal Wave. Both victims were soon reborn, however - Tidal Wave as Mirage, and Wing Dagger as the powerful Wing Saber. While Wing Saber merged with Optimus Prime as the Autobots ventured into Unicron, Shockblast defied Megatron's orders, lying and claiming he was under attack while sneaking off and preparing to make a power play. When Megatron faced off against Optimus Prime in the middle of an Energon reaction that had torn a fissure in space, Shockblast leapt into the middle, only to be hit by a chunk of debris and sent spiralling through the fissure, into a new region of space where [[Alpha Quintesson]] had recreated the planets destroyed by Unicron.
Separated from the other Decepticons, Shockblast was confronted by the Autobots on [[Iron Planet]] and was defeated and captured by Wing Saber, and chained and guarded by [[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]]. Megatron and the other Decepticons soon arrived to rescue him and Megatron warned him of the price of defiance. This did not stop Shockblast from attempting to seize power again, however - and in his next move, he succeeded, seating himself in Megatron's throne within Unicron, planning to take the chaos-bringer's power for his own. However, he got more power than he bargained for, as Unicron's essence possessed him, warping his body and driving him into an insane rage. Battling with Optimus Prime on [[Blizzard Planet]], Shockblast was destroyed when Unicron's massive arm plunged down through the planet's atmosphere and crushed him, completely extinguishing his [[Spark]].
Shockblast's place in the Decepticons was soon filled by his own younger - and equally as treacherous - brother, Six Shot, who had also been imprisoned by the Autobots.

This article is about the Energon Decepticon tank/satellite. For the Generation 1 space gun, see Shockwave (G1).
When Slugslinger and Sharkticon attempted to break into an Autobot island facility, Shockblast scrambled the security system with an electromagnetic pulse from orbit. However, when the plan went wrong, Omega Supreme nailed Shockblast with cannon-fire, despite the Decepticon being in low orbit.
Later, Shockblast was part of the Decepticon party that had cornered Optimus Prime and a wounded Hot Shot. However, Shockblast was blown away by the combined power of Optimus and the newly-arrived Wing Saber.
