Shockwave (Transformers)

Shockwave is a Decepticon from the Transformers Franchise. He is usually treated as the "mad scientist" of the Decepticons. Due to his major loyalty to Megatron and Starscream's backstabbing nature, Shockwave is the true second-in-command of the Decepticons. However, his true loyalty is with himself at times, and sometimes sides against Megatron if it is the "right" decision. 
In the original cartoon and the War for Cybertron video game, he is voiced by Corey Burton who also voiced the Autobots Sunstreaker and Brawn and the human Spike Witwicky. In the live-action film series, Shockwave was voiced by Frank Welker. In Fall of Cybertron, he is voiced by Steve Blum. In the War for Cybertron cartoon, he is voiced by Todd Haberkorn.
==Personality==
Soundwave is, first and foremost loyal to Megatron to a fault and believes is the Decepticon cause. However he is also willing to betray Megatron if it is the most logical thing to do. He is also an extremist who has a prejudice towards humans and Autobots as he attacked Spike and Carly when they came to Cybertron and assaulted Carly's car when he mistook it for an Autobot.

His head, hands, fingers, arms, and lower legs are purple while his upper legs, feet, and shoulder pads are silver. He has a right hand but his left hand is just a antenna gun or the Cybertronian equivalent of a prosthetic with a dark wire attached to his back. He has two Decepticon symbols on both arms. His chest shape was light purple glass.
His weapon mode mainly is an unknown blaster.

In Michael Bay's pentology, he's only silver and has a red were instead of a yellow one.
== History ==
=== Generation 1 ===
Shockwave (Generation 1)
In the original cartoon series, Shockwave was told by Megatron to stay on Cybertron and keep an eye out for the planet. For centuries, the Decepticon mad scientist did just that but exhausted himself. In 1984, he discovered that his comrades survived as Megatron contacted him.
Shockwave's final fate in the original film is unknown; his last appearance was sending out a distress call, warning the Decepticons that Unicron was coming. He was most likely destroyed by Unicron as he invaded the planet.
