Shockwave (Kre-O)
| The name or term "Shockwave" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Shockwave (disambiguation). |
- Shockwave is a Decepticon from the brick-based world of Kre-O.
Shockwave uses math. For evil. He's cold, logical, and utterly without mercy.
And he can dance. Put on "Shake Your Bot Bot" and he will bust a finely-choreographed move like nobody's business.[1]
Fiction
Kre-O cartoon
During a robot dance competition, Shockwave was among the three judges, all of whom were Decepticons. Despite Bumblebee's phenomenal performance, he scored the Autobot at 1/2. For Starscream, despite awful technique and a nasty fall, he scored the Decepticon a 10². The commentator was skeptical. Bot Stars
He was present in the audience during Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron's boxing match. He also cheered when Megatron lost... Last Bot Standing
Shockwave, Soundwave and Skywarp enjoyed a picnic by the side of a road. When Bumblebee and Megatron raced by them, the picnickers waved at them. The Big Race
He was among the minions who passed Megatron his presents during the holiday season. A Gift For Megatron
Shockwave helped Megatron get back into shape after a string of humiliating defeats by standing on top of him while the Decepticon leader did some push-ups, and holding on to his weights while he did some reps. Megatron's Revenge
Kre-O webcomic
Shockwave was part of a massive Decepticon invasion force intended to ruin the Autobots' picnic. However, Optimus Prime plowed through them with his truck and left them scattered... and then left. Returning to the scene after.. ahem, taking care of some pressing business, Optimus gathered up the still-wiped-out Kreons, bound them up on a flatbed trailer, and took them to the picnic. Emergency! Hurry to the Base, Optimus!

- Kreon Class of 1984 (Kreon figure set, 2014)
- This version of Shockwave, voted "Best Optics" by the Kreon Class of 1984, has much more toy-based tampographs than his prior version.
- He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984", which is somewhat more justified than other 85-86 characters, as while the Shockwave toy was released in 1985, the character made an early debut in 1984 in both comics and cartoon. This set was made for sale at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Remaining stock was sold at Hasbro Toy Shop online.
Battle Changers
- Shockwave(Battle Changer, 2015)
- Battle Changer Shockwave transforms from tank into a robot and back without removing any parts! His robot mode is based on his G1 counterpart, while his vehicle mode is based on his Prime counterpart.
- Like his wave-mate Hound, They were first sighted in Hong Kong towards the end of March 2015.
Notes
- Shockwave's title in the Class of 1984 set (Best Optics) is most likely swapped with Prowl's (Best Logic Processors). This is supported by their G1 counterparts' bios- Shockwave's notes that he serves logic only while Prowl's state that he can track and analyze the trajectory of 800 moving objects.
