Shockwave (AW)


 * Shockwave is a Decepticon from Tarn.

"Clarity of thought before rashness of action."

Tarn Leader SHOCKWAVE has a cold, brutal, scientific approach to war. As a laser gun, Shockwave can emit lethal beams of energy from anywhere on the electromagnetic spectrum: gamma rays, X-rays, visible light, infrared rays, radio waves, etc. He can fly in his laser gun or robot mode. He has a high fuel use, but can be powered by nuclear sources if necessary. He is often confounded by intuitive, emotional thinking.

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Shockwave is from Tarn. He is a highly ranked and staunchly loyal Decepticon, and with Soundwave, was one of the first at Megatron's side.

Certainly he was one of Megatron's more favored troops, in that Megatron's constant praise of him seemed to annoy Starscream to no end.

After Megatron's death, Shockwave returned to Tarn, where he took over as warlord.
