- Shockwave's Tower is a building on Cybertron from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Shockwave's Tower is Shockwave's home for about 3000 years in the peaceful era after the Great Shutdown. It is located in the center of Iacon, where its Shockwave-shaped apex looks out over the rest of the city-state. In all, the tower appears as an ostentatious testament to its architect's own greatness, but otherwise not anything actually harmful. But Shockwave wouldn't be Shockwave if that was the case. The tower's primary use to the Machiavellian Decepticon is its concealment of the only path to Vector Sigma, leaving the supercomputer and all its knowledge of Cybertron and its inhabitants in Shockwave's sole grasp. Secondly, the tower is connected to a secret laboratory Shockwave possesses somewhere in Iacon's Quadrant Epsilon, where he keeps a numbers of clones and the data he has extracted from Vector Sigma. Thirdly, the apex's "eye" is designed to be able to shoot a beam of sorts to another planet. Lastly, Shockwave's Tower is his haven where he can secretly organize the "former" Decepticons into his personal army.
