Shockwave (Movie)


 * Shockwave is a Decepticon from the live-action movie continuity family.



Shockwave is a massive triple-changing Decepticon, capable of converting from his robot mode to either an artillery cannon or an Apache assault helicopter. Apparently, he's been working to oust Megatron since before Starscream got the idea. Starscream decided Shockwave will be lucky to be kept as a pet if he takes over.



Transformers: The Game (console)
Shockwave appears as a boss character in the Autobot campaign. Under the orders of Starscream, he attacked Tranquility, the hometown of Sam Witwicky, but was beaten to death by Optimus Prime.

Shockwave also appears in the Autobots' Cybertron bonus stage. When there are only 3 Decepticons left, Shockwave is one of them. He doesn't transform in this stage (neither can the player character).

Transformers Decepticons (DS)
Shockwave is playable, after a fashion, via scanning the Attack Copter, the Recon Chopper and the Stealth Chopper. Only the Attack Chopper is able to look relatively like Shockwave, with Purple and Black as the colors. However, it's easier to make it look like this guy. The others can be changed to a darkish blue or black, but only minor details can be made purple.

Transformers Autobots (DS)
Shockwave's body type appears as three helicopters: the Attack Copter, the Recon Chopper and the Stealth Chopper. However, the only one of the three able to become purple like Shockwave is the Attack Copter.

Transformers: The Game (PSP)
Shockwave is a playable character in the PSP version of the game. However he only has one alternate mode, which is a rail-cannon tank based on Energon Shockblast. Accompanied by Thundercracker, he tried to find Megatron in the arctic, only to discover that his leader had been moved. However, he also found something worth more than the All Spark; the massive drone army that had followed Megatron to Earth.

To revive the drones, he had to transmit a signal from a high altitude, so he made his way to a missile base, where he used a rocket to transmit it from space. However, Shockwave's control of the giant robot army was shortlived, as the two Autobots Trailbreaker and Hound planted a virus in the signal, shutting the drones down. After Megatron was defeated, Shockwave fought Starscream over leadership of the Decepticons back on Cybertron. He was blasted to bits.
