- Heatwave is a heroic Decepticon in the Shattered Glass continuity.
Heatwave has a unique affinity for machinery. His strange powers allow him to converse—literally—with non-sentient devices, as if they were a fellow 'bot. He can learn their status, make requests of them, and possibly even effect repairs, all with a simple touch of his hands. The strangeness of this gift doesn't quite register with the quirky Heatwave, who casually talks to and about unliving machines as if they were his drinking buddies. Amid the strangeness that is the Shattered Glass universe, this bizarre talent hardly seems out of place, and his heroic Decepticon allies just shake their heads at his oddities.
Heatwave's gifts are but a hint of a greater destiny that he is likely unaware of—he is the torso piece of Nexus Maximus, created by Primus at the dawn of time to guard the multiverse's Rarified Energon.
