Bombshock (G1)

The name or term "Bombshock" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bombshock (disambiguation).

Bombshock is a Decepticon Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.

I once blew off my own toes in battle, kid. Don't think I won't do the same to you.

Bombshock is old because he's hard. And he's hard because he's fought his way through the biggest, baddest battles of the Cybertronian Civil Wars. Millions of years of unrelenting combat have burned away all traces of mercy, compassion, and idealism, leaving nothing behind but his cold, ruthless core. He leads the Military Patrol well, and he doesn't seem to mind that all three of his teammates are plotting against him. They want a fight, and fighting's all he's good at. And when he gets into the heat of battle, even the destruction of his enemies won't stop him. Sometimes, he won't stop fighting until his bombs have blown most of himself apart.

Sidetrack and Bombshock were part of the Temple Guard at the High Pavilion of Iacon. They defended the Pavilion during the siege of the Resistance at the end of the Grand Uprising. The duo used deadly zirconium gas pumped through the vents to guide the Resistance invaders into a trap. Those fleeing the gas ran straight into the two tanks' cannon fire. They were killed in the last act of Psycho-Orb, Resistance general, who psychically directed a pulse grenade underneath the duo before detonating it. Derailment
