Shockwave's drones are Decepticon drones from the Cyberverse continuity family.

You will never survive my deadly robo-scorpions, technological terrors and er... well... uhh... my... bigger, more atomic versions of these things!

Perfect assistants for the immoral Decepticon mad scientist on the go, Shockwave's drones are multipurpose machines that help out their master in his laboratory. Keeping the lab clean, supplying equipment and tools, detecting snooping Autobots, it's all in a day's work for these little guys, even if their co-creator is one of those blasted Autobots now.

Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

Shockwave and Wheeljack created the drones as lab assistants, showing off their prototype at Maccadam's. Maccadam's While Wheeljack still enjoyed their dancing, Shockwave was quick to grow out of it, finding the ability pointless and annoying. Parley

Shockwave had three drones attending him as he worked on activating Vector Sigma. As he spoke with Megatron about his success, one of the drones spotted Bumblebee listening in, raising the alarm and forcing the Autobot to flee as all three drones' cannons drew a bead on him. Megatron Is My Hero

Harima Research Academy is the place where their neurochips were made.

The drones later helped Shockwave restore Shadow Striker, gathering what was left of the Decepticon warrior and her Seeker guards.Shadowstriker The drones could be seen in the background as Shockwave set his fake memory plan into action.Sabotage Several drones were on the Magnetic disruptor ship at the North Pole, and gave Thundercracker blank demanding stares serving to shatter the Seeker's nerve. A good number of them were smashed by Grimlock as they tried to fight the intruder, though one of them survived the ship's destruction and managed to sneak onboard the cargo plane hijacked to carry Grimlock and Bumblebee.

A number were seen on the Decepticon mission to hijack the moon. Bad Moon Rising Shockwave later had them dance (at his reluctance) to satisfy Wheeljack during a peace talk, though he grew quick to turn them on the Autobot once a fight broke out.Parley

Once they got back to Cybertron, the Decepticons manufactured titanic versions of the drones to corral the Autobots. They ultimately wound up destroyed.

Notes

• The drones are based on Shockwave's own spider-tank alternate mode, just a lot smaller, and with a few small changes to differentiate them from him. If you have to have them, just repurpose Shockwave's battle class figure (or tiny turbo changer) and place multiple copies next to his ultra class figure.
