Shockwave (Transformers)

Shockwave, also known as Laserwave, Longarm Prime and Shockblast, is a character from the Transformers series.
== Charactah Account ==
Shockwave is possibly the smartest and most powerful of the Decepticons. Shockwave operates on pure logic, which benefits Megatron greatly. Shockwave has on several occasions led the Decepticons though, he gave up his rule the first time back to Megatron when he made himself seem the more logical choice of leader.
Among the Decepticon, Shockwave's great power is second only to Megatron and very few others. He possesses enough strength and power to lift nearly 2000 tons and can take on the Dinobots on his own. He is also incredibly durable, and only a few could hope to harm him.
Shockwave's total command of the electromagnetic spectrum allows him in his gun-ray mode, to emit a coruscating beam of energy in a wide variety of forms: high-energy explosive gamma rays, x-rays that allow him to see through almost anything, blinding visible light, super-hot infrared rays and radio waves that can either send messages or jam other radio signals are but a few of the weapons in Shockwave's arsenal.

== Trivia ==
* Every adaptation tends to ramp Shockwave's danger levels up just that little bit more. In the IDW continuity, he's a chessmaster and a manipulative mastermind, who is responsible for damn near everything that happens there.
* In contrast to his Marvel counterpart, Shockwave in the cartoon was neither particularly powerful nor intelligent, standing out little from the other Decepticons in this regard. He was also far less ambitious, being a loyal servant of Megatron rather than a self-serving Wild Card.
* In the Sunbow cartoon, Shockwave totally disappeared after The Transformers: The Movie. While he was supposed to have been killed by Unicron, this scene was never actually animated, leaving his status by the movie's end questionable.
