THE LIGHT, BY SHOCKWAVE

About time Shockwave gets his big break. He's been a guardian for millions of years, and is significantly understaffed.

Appointed as Guardian of Cybertron by Megatron, the loyal Shockwave remained stationed on the planet for millions of years, even while his teammates slumbered on Earth. He was singlehandedly (ha) responsible for menacing the remaining Autobot resistance movements on Cybertron, and when Megatron was reactivated in 1984, assisted in the development of Space Bridge technology. In 2005, Shockwave may or may not have been killed during the Unicron War, though either way he was never seen again afterward.

In a splinter timeline, Shockwave was shown to have definitively survived Unicron's attack on Cybertron. Travelling to another dimension to aid Megatron, Shockwave formed a friendship with Cancer and the two resolved to conquer the world of business and entertainment via shadowy corporate dealings and pop music.

In my headcanon he was dead in the cartoon. His toy was one of the ones licensed from a non-Takara company, and licensing royalties are far more powerful than Unicron. His character was better in the comics, though.

"formed a friendship with Cancer" might seem like a weird sentence to some, but I just thought "oh yeah, the character from Super-God Masterforce".

He keeps showing up in later media because he just looks that cool. War/Fall of Cybertron were amazing games.

Probably the best Transformers games ever, although that PS2 Armada game is overlooked.

Then Activision did what they always do and shoved another company into the Cawadoody mines after Deadpool flopped.

There was that horrible attempt to fuse the War/Fall franchise with Michael Bay's utter fucking shit. joker-gaming

I forgot about that one, but it was a different developer. High Moon made War and Fall, the developer for Rise of the Dark Spark didn't have the greatest resume.

My mistake.

That pile of steaming shit was the IP distributor's mistake, though.
