Shockwave was left to watch Cybertron by Megatron long ago, arriving on Earth to hunt for the AllSpark shortly after Megatron. A peerless scientist with deadly efficiency and a cold devotion to logic, he is one of the very few who could rival Megatron. Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy the Autobots with his arm-mounted AstroMag Cannon.
Shockwave first appeared during Optimus Prime's mission to Chernobyl with his ally human soldiers. They had discovered a fuel cell from the Ark in an abandoned base that had incredible radiation levels. At that moment, Shockwave and his driller appeared and immediately begin destroying the base and killing soldiers in the process. They then proceed to take the fuel cell and burst out of the base with Optimus following. The fight then takes to the land where the Driller knocks Optimus from his trailer, separating him from his weapons. However, Prime was still able to gain access to them and cut off one of the driller's tentacles to retrieve the fuel cell. At this moment Shockwave appears out of the beast and menacingly utters Prime's name, but he quickly withdraws.
Shockwave later appears during the final battle, where the driller once again knocked over Optimus's trailer, and is attacked by the Wreckers so that the trailer could be retrieved. Soundwave sent the driller to collapse the building containing Sam, Carly and the humans. After tipping the building over, Optimus Prime flies in with his jetpack and is able to kill the driller, cutting off its main head by flying through the section that connects it to the body. Angered by what happened to his pet, Shockwave shoots at Optimus with a burst-missile - causing him to fly out of control and get stuck in tangled tower crane wires. With Optimus out of the way, Shockwave and the Decepticons overpower the Autobots and prepare to execute them. After the Wreckers manage to free Optimus, they join the humans in a coordinated assault on Shockwave. He is eventually damaged badly, after getting temporarily blinded by parachutes and then gets his eye partly shot out of his head by human soldiers, but still refuses to fall. Optimus then flies in and attacks Shockwave, who fires a missile, but Optimus dodges it and punches through Shockwave's torso using bladed knuckles and proceeds to kill him by completely ripping his eye out of his head. Optimus then uses Shockwave's hand canon to blast the space bridge control pillar, temporarily halting Cybertron from transporting into Earth's atmosphere.
Four years after the Battle of Chicago, Shockwave's remains were reused for KSI Decepticons with two heads and are colored purple named Two Heads, after being infected by Galvatron, and fighting the Autobots.
ALTERNATE MODE
Shockwave transforms into a Cybertronian tank. His armaments included a massive cannon, a shield and wrist blade.
DRILLER
The largest subterranean lifeform native to Cybertron, Drillers are not to be taken lightly. Enormous multi-tentacled beasts capable of burrowing through the ground or through buildings with ease, they are capable of great destruction and carnage on any scale. Naturally, all these qualities have endeared them to Shockwave who keeps one as a pet and personal transport.
