Shockwave (Transformers: Prime)

== Summary ==
Originally a member of Cybertron's scientist caste, Shockwave was intrigued by the speeches of a gladiator-turned-leader called Megatron, eventually coming to work under him as "pet mad scientist" and second-in-command.
Agreed to be instrumental in the Decepticon cause's rise, Shockwave supplied most of Megatron's followers with the firepower necessary to start the War, though Megatron's practicality did reign in the majority of his more "exotic" projects, at least until the final days of the War.
Although frequently mocked for his dedication to the cause, Shockwave's true master is and always has been logic, to the point where he might even tolerate seeming attempts at his life in the case of the assailant having a legitimate reason in his optic.
Though like most Decepticons, Shockwave is also attracted to power and in particular appears to have been in the process of building an army of certain supersoldiers for some time now. Megatron, in relation to the desperate situation of their planet, appears to be far more lenient regarding these pet projects as well.
