Character Description: Shockwave
Cold, brutal, scientific approach to war. Seeks to overthrow Megatron as leader of Decepticons because he believes logic says he would be better. As laser gun, can emit lethal beams of energy from anywhere on the electomagnetic spectrum: gamma rays, X-rays, visible light, infrared rays, radio waves, etc.. Flies in laser gun or robot mode. High fuel use, but can be powered by nuclear sources. Often confounded by intuitive, emotional thinking.
In the cartoon, he was a loyal servant of Megatron and stayed on Cybertron. A deleted scene from The The Transformers: The Movie shows that he died by a falling tower from Unicron.
