Terrashock is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.

As a Buffaloid, the Decepticon enforcer Terrashock is fast, powerful... and dumber than a sack of hammers. As a result, he requires someone else to do most of his thinking; back on Cybertron, his employer Contrail used him as hired muscle. Eventually, Terrashock was imprisoned on the Alchemor and awoke without his master after the ship crashed. That said, his undying loyalty to his former employer means that he'll do — or break — just about anything to find him again.

Everybody's got a water buffalo; yours is fast but mine is slow.

Terrashock was one of the many Decepticons incarcerated aboard the Alchemor when the ship suddenly crashed. His damaged stasis cell was eventually recovered by human scientists and placed in the Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences for scientific investigation. Terrashock eventually awoke and smashed his way out of the cell, frightening Denny Clay in the process. Feeling hemmed in by the room's walls, Terrashock panicked and headbutted his way out into the main museum. Believing himself to still be on Cybertron, Terrashock set off in search of Contrail, although he was bewildered by the museum's various animatronics and displays, mistaking a robotic buffalo exhibit for a fellow Buffaloid enforcer. Strongarm attempted to intercept him and was defeated. He then mistook a museum planetarium for a transmitter, and attempted to contact Contrail with it. Grimlock attempted to jump him and was quickly knocked aside. He eventually stumbled on an exhibit about water; Sideswipe tried to jump him while he was alarmed by a video of a tsunami, but was thrown against the wall.

Oh my god he's Buffalo-Dump reborn.

Terrashock charged toward the front doors of the museum, where he encountered Bumblebee. Terrashock quickly bumrushed the Autobot through the doors, then transformed and drove off into traffic. Terrashock continued to recklessly drive along the highway, yelling for Contrail, until he was intercepted by Bumblebee's team, who had come up with a new strategy to take advantage of the Buffaloid's need for external direction. Together, the quartet managed to herd Terrashock away from traffic before Bumblebee tripped him up, leaving Terrashock open for a body slam courtesy of Grimlock. The Autobots loaded the unconscious Decepticon onto Strongarm's trailer and drove off into the sunset. W.W.O.D.?

After Steeljaw and his gang broke into the scrapyard, Terrashock's stasis pod was deactivated. He was quickly re-frozen by the Autobots before he could escape from his pod. Lockout

Terrashock's stasis pod was later taken back to Cybertron by Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. Decepticon Island (Part 2)
