This article is about the Aligned character. For the Generation 1 character, see Treadshock (G1).

Treadshock is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Treadshock is a Decepticon under the command of Cyclonus. He can combine with his leader and fellow enforcers Skyjack, Cyberwarp, and Riotgear to form Galvatronus. He also managed his way into the Autobot High Council with his teammates to put their schemes into motion.

Treadshock met with his fellow High Council members to discuss the imminent fruition of their plans, and silently watched as Cyclonus and Cyberwarp debated the morality of the Council's actions. Enemy of My Enemy

When the Bee Team breached Council chambers, the Decepticons engaged them in battle only to be defeated, with Treadshock being knocked out with a tail smash from Grimlock. They combined into Galvatronus to even the odds but were defeated due to Cyberwarp's reservations. Treadshock and the other Decepticons were most likely taken into custody while Ratchet, Bulkhead, Jazz & Windblade took over as temporary High Council at Optimus Prime's request. Freedom Fighters

• Galvatronus (Team Combiner, 2017)

Available only in the Robots in Disguise Galvatronus Team Combiner 5-pack, Treadshock transforms into a Cybertronian off-road vehicle in a few simple steps. He can also convert into a leg for a Team Combiner super-robot, though his nominal placement is as the right leg of Galvatronus.

He is a retool of his teammate Riotgear, with a different headsculpt.

Treadshock uses the universal connector joint shared by all Team Combiners and Crash Combiners, but since he can only form a leg in combined mode, this can lead to some interesting-looking combinations.

Notes

• Treadshock's light-bent model is a recolor of Vector Prime from "Battlegrounds, Part 1", with a new head.
