SHOCKWAVE is a Decepticon whose primary skills are at relations between organisms, and he usually works as an ambassador between the Decepticons and their allies, along with his aide Fistfight. A wizened leader, he is usually calm and patient, except when he lets his emotions get the better of him. While Shockwave is no scientist, he is an intelligent scholar and skilled in both psychology and repair. Like most Decepticons, he's more than willing to put his life on the line to save humans or the innocent. Although his fighting techniques are entirely defensive, he's more than capable of putting a hole through any Autobot if need be.
