Shockwave is a supporting character in the 2024 animated film Transformers One. He was a member of Cybertron's High Guard, acting as one of Starscream's lieutenants. He and Soundwave briefly assisted Orion Pax and Elita-1 in rescuing D-16, B-127 and the rest of the High Guard, after they had been captured by Sentinel Prime's forces.
Following Sentinel Prime's death, Shockwave and the rest of the High Guard swore allegiance to D-16, now going by the name Megatron, and assisted in destroying Iacon and anyone that stood in their way. Eventually, he and the rest were banished from Iacon, in which they eventually rechristened themselves as the Decepticons.
He is voiced by Jason Konopisos-Alvarez.
Appearance[]
Shockwave is depicted as large, purple Cybertronian, possessing magenta chest and silver legs. His notable traits are his one yellow eye and his arm cannon that replaces his left hand. Upon being outcasted from Iacon, he gains an insignia of the Decepticons on his shoulders and his eye turns to red.
Personality[]
Shockwave generally is shown to be a stoic individual who, like the rest of the High Guard, seek to overthrow Sentinel for his betrayal and deception. He is an irritable individual who notably prone to anger and impatience, as he found B-127's talkative nature to be highly aggravating and wished he was given a stronger gag to keep him shut. He is also very hesitant to work with others, unless persuaded through forceful means, as Elita-1 was able to do so by threatening him with force.
Because of their shared ideology and common enemy, Shockwave advocates Megatron's cause and is more than willing to destroy of all Iacon, for the sake of destroying anything left behind Sentinel's legacy. As such, he and the rest of the High Guard follow Megatron to the very end and willingly serve under his command as the Decepticons.
Quotes[]
| “ | Elita-1: Uh, why is he gagged? Shockwave: He wouldn't stop talking. Elita-1: Even when he was unconscious? Shockwave: ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS! |

Trivia[]
- Unlike his previous iterations, this version of Shockwave does not appear to be a scientist nor possess any scientific knowledge of the sorts. He is also more aggressive, expressive and quickly prone to frustration, in contrast to his general cold, emotionless demeanour that most of his other iterations are known for.
- Shockwave's alternate mode is based on the jet mode he possessed in the War for Cybertron games, as well as the one that his toy had from the War for Cybertron trilogy.
- Like Soundwave, Shockwave's design is based more on his original G1 toy than the original cartoon's character model, which is especially evident in his broader profile and wider and more squat head design.
