| This article is about the Energon Decepticon tank/satellite. For the Generation 1 space gun, see Shockwave (G1). |
- Shockblast is a Decepticon from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Shockblast packs an incredible amount of firepower and high-tech gadgetry inside his chassis. He is the brother of Six Shot. He has an unspecified history with Tidal Wave, and the two hate each other.
- Japanese name: Laserwave
Fiction
Energon Pack-In Comics
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.
Animated continuity
Energon
Voice actor: Brian Drummond (US) Nobutoshi Canna (Japan)
Shockblast was held prisoner deep inside Cybertron, under near-constant supervision due to his status as a dangerous Decepticon war criminal. During a Decepticon uprising, Shockblast escaped and slaughtered most of the Autobot guards (while also inadvertently creating the Autobot hero who would be known as Wing Saber).
Megatron decided to add Shockblast to his team, and dispatched Tidal Wave to Cybertron. Unfortunately, Tidal Wave was fatally injured during Shockblast's riot (he was later reformatted into Mirage).
Shockblast joined the Decepticons and regarded Megatron with a high level of contempt. He made several attempts to overthrow Megatron and assume command of the team, all of which failed. In his final fight, Shockblast was crushed by the reactivated Unicron.
(Note: Although not heavily specified in the American series, the original Japanese series qouted that Shockblast (called Laserwave) was part of Tidal Wave's platoon during the previous battles. After eliminating their Autobot enemies, he grew bored and began to attack and destroy his own Decepticon allies, leading to Tidal Wave's animosity towards him. Shockblast and Six Shot were captured in between Armada and Energon for their continued attempts to keep the war going between the two factions, refusing to accept the newfound period of peace.)
