PERSONALITY

This can be summed up in really one line. Shockwave really has no personality. His rejection of emotions has led to him to be almost a neutral computer. All he really does is run programs and calculate things and create strategies for the next logical course of action. He is efficient, in a cruel manner, and expresses no emotions when he carries out his actions, or when terminating a target.

Shockwave pretty well worships logic as a god. He follows only it in all of his actions, especially in the battlefield. This is not to say he is perfect, sometimes the course of action he follows is not the best one, or things do not always go as planned. Despite this, Shockwave is adamant about following logic, and has strong beliefs that all others should too. The thing about Shockwave, is he knows he is tall enough and powerful enough to get away with pushing his thoughts on to others. He is very arrogant, as much as he denies it and only points out he is doing the logical thing.

It is very possible to extract some emotion from the otherwise expressionless Decepticon, it is just extremely difficult to do so. Most of the time, when he does express some sort of emotion, it is usually wrath. He only does it when he decides it is the most logical choice, whether it be crushing a human or putting an inferior Decepticon back in place or even sometimes brawling with Autobots, he can turn to rage, but never a blind rage. He can also become annoyed, but again only under rare circumstances.






Weaponry: Other than his large canon on his arm, Shockwave thinks solely on logic, which leaves him thinking calmly under any situation that usually generates a lot of pressure, and also allows him to think clearly and make the best decision on the next course of action.

Strengths: He has exceptional intelligence. It is difficult to sneak up on him or try to pull ambushes or surprises. He also is built for durability. He can take a great deal of punishment before needing medical attention. He can also fight for great lengths of time without tiring out.

Weaknesses: Unfortunately, his decision is not always the right one. He is also large, which makes him an easier target, and is not very fast physically. He has also rejected all emotions, which can be a weakness. He either does not realize it or refuses to acknowledge it. His large red eye is also a tempting target for most of his opponents.


His origins are unknown, and he never speaks about it, even when asked. In fact, asking may be a good way for him to simply not answer but to remind the one who asked the question of their place, and that there are more important matters, like the war. To him it is irrelevant and he prefers to focus on the here, now, and the future. He has been around since before the war of Cybertron, and has served Megatron even when the war began. He quickly climbed the ranks with this high intelligence and gained the respect of all others with him.

Eventually, Megatron and Starscream and a few others went to Earth, leaving Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons back on Cybertron. This lasted a while, and Shockwave was running things very efficiently. After some time had lapsed, Shcokwave decided to go to Earth, why did he leave his duties at Cybetron? Well, ask him that and he may simply shoot you with his cannon rather than answer it. Perhaps he thought it was logical, perhaps he was called by Megatron to assist in terminating the Autobots, or perhaps he felt a fleeting glimpse of emotion and decided he was bored.

Whatever the reason, Shockwave eventually came to Earth to join with the rest of the Autobots. While he still never was in the middle of the action, he was still behind the scenes, calculating strategies and devising the next best and most logical course of action. He found the new world to be strange and unfamiliar, but adjusted quickly and in fact found it to be more simple than the mechanical and large world than Cybertron was. How did he take to the humans? About like a hungry lion takes to an antelope. He found them pathetic and weak, weaker than the Autobots and Decepticons because they seemed more driven by emotions than the others and felt them to be an inferior race that should be wiped out. The rest, as they say, is history.
