[[Image:|right|250px|thumb|Cuts people open. For SCIENCE!]] Shockwave is a morally ambiguous being who works in the Menacing and Foreboding Sciences Division of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Axiom_Nexus" title="Axiom Nexus">Axiom Nexus</a> military. He's backed up by an army of completely silent soldiers. He's a very serious-minded figure who dissects people for the greater good, under the command of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_%28TransTech%29" title="Megatron (TransTech)">Megatron</a>.
Megatron first enlisted Shockwave as a prisoner of war, after the defeat of Shockwave's former master, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jhiaxus_%28TransTech%29" title="Jhiaxus (TransTech)">Jhiaxus</a>, in the aftermath of the "<a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Liege_Maximo" title="Liege Maximo">Liege Maximo</a> incident." During these early years, Shockwave singlehandedly forged Cybertronian technological advances, but darkly. It was for these war crimes that Shockwave was almost executed, if Megatron had not interceded. Though decidedly amoral, Shockwave and his talents could be extremely useful if directed properly. <sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>
He never wants to speak of his traumautic encounter with the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Animated" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformers Animated">Transformers Animated</a> cast again.

The three were assigned to <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Alpha_Trion_%28Timelines%29" title="Alpha Trion (Timelines)">Alpha Trion</a>'s care, and while the group walked through the city, Shockwave's goons grabbed <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Breakaway_%28Classics%29" title="Breakaway (Classics)">Breakaway</a>. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transcendent:_Part_1" title="Transcendent: Part 1">Transcendent: Part 1</a></span> Breakaway soon found himself in Shockwave's lab, strapped to a table with his communicators disabled. As Commander Megatron approached, Shockwave assured his victim that his suffering would benefit his people. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transcendent:_Part_2" title="Transcendent: Part 2">Transcendent: Part 2</a></span>
Soon <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ratbat_%28TransTech%29" title="Ratbat (TransTech)">Senator Ratbat</a> came to observe, as he was worried about the legalities of this operation. Shockwave noted that Breakaway's physiology presented unimaginable learning possibilities, and that his death, though regrettable, was an amenable price to pay. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transcendent:_Part_3" title="Transcendent: Part 3">Transcendent: Part 3</a></span>
But Alpha Trion, his acolytes, and the two other targets-of-interest had other ideas. They ambushed the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Transwarp_Complex&action=edit" class="new" title="Transwarp Complex">Transwarp Complex</a> and quickly and violently made their way into Shockwave's lab. Though Shockwave's preparations for his experiments on Breakaway were not complete, Megatron ordered the scientist into battle. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transcendent:_Part_5" title="Transcendent: Part 5">Transcendent: Part 5</a></span>
