| The name or term "Shockwave" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Shockwave (disambiguation). |
- Shockwave is a Mini-Con from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
If "war criminal" were a career, Shockwave of the Sky Attack Mini-Con Team would have a very bright future ahead of him. Ally to tyrants, warlords, and genocidal maniacs, he has spent the last decade of his life as a freelance soldier, honing his taste for destruction. To him, a success is finding the most important and densely populated city or fortress that the enemy (or any poor innocents that happen to stand in his way) might control, and reduce it to the deepest, darkest, most burned-out blast crater on the face of that planet, preferably taking as many lives as he can in the process. Naturally, his nigh-insatiable appetite for destruction has earned him the loathing of the Autobots and their allies, most notably on the part of the fiercely protective Tankor.
Fiction
Cybertron comic
Shockwave was part of an army of insurgent Mini-Cons that were plotting to destroy a Mini-Con colony on one of Cybertron's moons. Unfortunately, the insurgents' secret ally, Unicron, turned on them, and Shockwave's right arm was cut off in the chaos that ensued. Revelations Part 5
