Shockwave (Transformers: Yo-Kai Animated)

Shockwave is a character and a major antagonist in Transformers: Yo-Kai Animated.

## Appearance

Shockwave is the ultimate spy and a cunning and brutal Decepticon scientist through the means of - pure logic. Able to change his voice, energy signature, and even his appearance at will, he has spent years infiltrating the Autobot power structure. Graduating near the top of the class from the Autobot Academy, he moved through the ranks of the Elite Guard, eventually becoming head of the Intelligence Division. Not once did anyone suspect the bright, friendly Autobot known as Longarm of being a devious enemy spy.While Shockwave possesses the single, round (colored red) optic and window-chest of his ancestor, much of the rest of his body appears to be largely patterned after Armada version of Megatron; the front treads end up on his shoulders and the rear treads end up on the back of his lower legs, plus he has the large, spiky "antlers" on his head. In his Longarm disguise, his vehicle mode is a Cybertronian Crane, while in his original form, Shockwave's vehicle mode is a Cybertronian Tank.

## Personality

Shockwave's overall personality would be considered as cold and calculating, with logic as its fundamental basis. Befitting a double agent, He is highly secretive and fearful of detection. Befitting a villain, he can confidently give those secrets away if he thinks he's winning. If he suspects his cover may be compromised, he's given to acts of desperation. His loyalty toward Megatron is without question, but Shockwave has kept to logic as his sense for reason, despite the fact that he even challenge or talks through curiosity about the logic of his leader's decisions.

Soon after discovering that Nate was Megatron, Shockwave is also confident and convinced which he begins persuading Nate into becoming Megatron in secret without everyone else knowing about their secret.

### Quotes

"**SHOCKWAVE**: Nate. I knew it was merely a matter of time before you came back here to hide in your little house.
**NATE**: I'd rather be facing Starscream."
—Shockwave and Nate after Shockwave is revealed to come into Nate's house
"**WHISPER**: HE'S A DECEPTICON fOR LORD EMNA'S SAKE! A MONSTER! AN EVIL ALIEN MACHINE! THERE'S NO WAY HE'S MUCH CAPABLE OF HELPING YOU THAN I CAN?! HE WOULDN'T SEE A YO-KAI WITHOUT YOUR wATCH!
**SHOCKWAVE**: The last part from your creature of a butler is correct. However, thanks to your watch's connection to the AllSpark, I do assure you that when there is a Yo-Kai presence in your Watch's scanners, it allows us to detect the Yo-Kai with to its Cybertronian modification. Giving the intel Cybertronians both Autobot and Decepticon alike need to scan for a single Yo-Kai. Something that your failed ghost companion somehow failed and could not.
**WHISPER**: WHO YOU CALLING FAILED GHOST COMPANION YOU ONE EYED FREAK!
**SHOCKWAVE**: You, specifically.
**WHISPER**: Says the one who was not there when Nate was a monstrous Decepticon who cannibalizes Autobot children just to be a spy and nearly got killed by a selfish psychopath of a second in command!
**SHOCKWAVE**: It's very complicated. Really. I followed orders and be useful even when there are most intense moments. You, however, are the one being useless without having any other ability besides floating and easily forgets other names of any other fellow Yo-Kai Nate stumbles upon and befriended. Gargaros was a different story, but other Yo-Kai have potential to be ruled by the Yo-Kai Watch user to tame them to his side, and may provide peace between our races.
**WHISPER**: PEACE BETWEEN OUR RACES?! THIS IS DECEPTION! A DECEPTICON TRICK!
**SHOCKWAVE**: Blowing a diode would not-
**WHISPER**: HOW'S THIS FOR A DIODE FOR CALLING ME A LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
**SHOCKWAVE**: YOU *ARE* THE LIAR LYING LIAR!"
