Shockwave Origins - The Calculative Evil Decepticon Scientist Is Megatron's Most Ruthless Assassin!
Ойын-сауық
There have been many exciting and notable Decepticons in the Transformers movies over the years, but Shockwave is definitely one who stands out among the others. In Japan, he is also known as Laserwave. He is a Decepticon distinguished by two characteristics: cognitively, he wields the pure logic that can be assumed of a machine devoid of feelings and articulates all of his strategies through calculations; physiologically, the only facial structure he possesses is an eye across the front of his face, with no nose or mouth. Shockwave has no Earth Machine form but instead morphs into a Cybertronian gun.

I like the fact that Shockwave wasn't egotistical and petty like the other Decepticons. He was really powerful but only attacked if logic demanded it. Need more villains like him/it.

There is a hardcore band named Shockwave, it's Transformers themed and the albums are filled with audio snippets from Transformers. Great band, even if you don't care about Transformers.
One unknown fact about Shockwave is that he is the MasterMind behind many of the Decepticon Upgrades - Including His Own!
Shockwave is one of my favorite decepticons hands down

Yep
*shivers in fear* Shockwave really scares me more and because he's a stone-cold mad scientist as well as all the disturbing and darkest schemes he cause, he's the only Decepticon that I'm truly afraid of.
Shockwave & sound wave… we’re perfect in the o.g series. Netflix did good with there recent spin on the original aswell.
The bot shown around 8:16 isnt shockwave its soundwave. Shockwaves G1 counterpart is similar to almost every other version of himself with the exception of the bay movies.
"Strong enough to rival megatron" *Gets crippled by fabric*
Shockwave is by far my favorite Decepticon, I hate how he was wasted in the Michael Bay movies, he’s as iconic as Megatron damn it, he should have been the main antagonist in Dark of the Moon in my opinion. His design was badass, but the way he was used in that movie is very disappointing 😑🤦🏻♂️
Love him in Transformers Prime.
I used to like the way he talked in the original cartoon..
I love Shockwave both in the G1 comic and show, I think he was a great really powerful rival to megatron and also I enjoy how loyal he is in the g1 show
Even the old shockwave toy I had was super awesome. And then there's the character himself. He's my favorite decepticon because he's so evil

I sure wish I had kept mine in good shape! Well, I wish I would have kept ALL of mine in good shape, but you know how destructive that war can be...NOT as destructive as a pissed off mother who has stepped ONE TO MANY TIMES ON THESE GOD*#*# ROBOTS!! To which I defended," MOTHER are TRANSFORMERS!" What happened next seems to have slipped my mind over time, but I dare say that thee energy in which my "transformers " were propelled into the hungry unforgiving "TOY BOX" on that fatal day, ended any hope of future collectables in my toy box ~sigh~ if I would have been anything other than a smart ass , Shockwave would have still had his purple battery powered super gun arm goddammit! I seen a hotwheels I use to plow trails with sell for over a hundred dollars a while back...granted it was fun, but seeing it sell for that kind of cash made me sorta sick!

When you said Shockwave appearedd in Bumblebee, you showed Soundwave.
Why you didnt show footage of animated shockwave while talking on animated shockwave

Man which canon is which? They discuss his Animated history by showing Prime footage while discussing Movie Shockwave's expanded universe lore in the comics by showing random G1 comics.

When talking about shockwaves G1 appearance in bumblebee why did you show soundwave?

Is shockwave was real? I wouldve fkng run from that con. That con is pure evil and does not feeling pain or emotions, hell kill you like nothing
8:08 that’s Soundwave, not Shockwave, and it’s G1, not GI.
Her sister was in the forest with me. Hope she remembers the stars from clouds. It's off of ape planet! I know ape planet my baby G is not a lord in a different planet!

Why do you guys use unrelated clips from different shows that have no relevance to what you are saying? Using Prime clips when you are talking about animated is highly misleading due to the fact that the animated character and Prime character are almost completely different.
no sir know the difference in between sound wave and shock wave sir cause that look is sound wave the rest is of shock wave
This is just a reading of already existing articles that you did not wrote yourself.
