Shockwave is Megatron's chief scientist and technologist. He is incredibly empathetic and emotional, but prone to sudden sharp outbursts under duress. However, in the company of Megatron, he does his utmost to remain composed. His 'ears' are indicative of his emotional state.

Shockwave was responsible for the creation of Grimlock, an experimental Decepticon super soldier. He feels immense guilt over losing control of Grimlock and creating such a destructive monster, but hopes one day he can make amends and rehabilitate him.

Shockwave transforms into a Cybertronic tracked vehicle. 

VOICE NOTES

Shockwave should have a rougher quality to his voice, similar to that of the late Rene Auberjonois from Star Trek DS9.
