The Transformers Cartoon: All Decepticon Shockwave Appearances 

So shockwave tried to communicate with megaton for 4 million years? Dude that’s admirable

Starscream: "Megatron is no more. I now lead the Decepticons!" Shockwave: "WHAT?!"

1:31 you can just tell the pride and happiness from shockwave's voice when he finally makes contact after 4 million years.

“Destroy the launch pad, let none escape!” -Shockwave 2018 Peace ✌🏻

0:45 So Megatron puts another gun in charge when he leaves. I sense a little bias here.

Shockwave was always my favourite Decepticon. The best design. Apparently, in the comics that Marvel published around the time of the G1 cartoons, he was far more powerful, and a real rival to Megatron.

The planet was in shambles and depleted of energon when Prime and Megatron disappeared. He rebuilt most of Cyberton's structures, created new, deadlier killing machines and everything ran efficiently while Megatron was away. Shockwave is a heartless tyrant, but damn that guy can work.

Ok I admit it, Gen 1 decepticons have their charm, they are so dorky and like actually cute in a way

I sense logic.

I love how shockwave just stands and stares at the door at 13:53 just waiting.

He is the only Deception who can aim even though he only has one eye

Something about the DECEPTICONS with WAVE at the end of their names

4 million years this poor bastard worked on that space bridge. Thanklessly, I might point out. Prime example of unappreciated genius

"It's not guard duty! I'm a guardian. Of an entire planet. And I'm significantly understaffed!"

Fun niche fact I just recently learned from a fellow commenter: The voice actor for Shockwave based his performance on the character "Sark" from the 1981 movie Tron. Decades later, in the 2005 video game Kingdom Hearts II, the actor for Shockwave was hired to voice the character of Sark. Kinda full circle

shockwave is a true loyal soldier

22:14 - Absolute domination. Had Optimus not turned up.. Shockwave would have wiped the lot of them out. I believe his alt form used a terrible amount of Energon; hence his reluctance to use it unless the most dire of circumstances.

I personally relate with shockwave. I have always lived far from my friends growing up, and things like FaceTime were my constant ways of communication with my friend group. So I always related with him being the decepticon who lives apart from the others, alone, and can only video chat his comrades.

Sure, the G1 cartoon and the G1 movie had a lot of animation errors, but they were still good to watch. I mean, let's face it: 2D animation is never perfect, but still entertaining.

6:59 he is able to do all that, but a shot to the shoulder kills him instantly...

They really got his voice down in Bumblebee

7:17 Self harm 7:26 fight with oneself 9:00 cussing self

"Female Autobots ... I thought they were extinct." wut lol

Shockwave is holding himself 13:47

shockwave was my favorite transformer

"Yeah we exist and always will" *"Such noble nonsense"* Based shockwave

3:51 Megatron: **shouting at Starscream** Shockwave: who's that funny fellow behind the screen?

My favorite line FEMALES

Shockwave has a MASSIVE chest

Shockwave kinda looks cute in G1

Shockwave waited 4 million years to communicate with Megatron. Now THAT is loyalty.

While not born when the cartoon existed, Shockwaves voice is my favorite voice, I don’t know why.

Out of all of the Decepticons, Shockwave was and still to this day remains my all time favourite Transformer. He was the whole package, incredibly smart, cold, calculating and of course evil. I always enjoyed the episodes that were set on Cybertron because i knew we would get to see Shockwave have more screen time and play a big role in the stories. Love the fact that Shockwave was voiced by Corey Burton who would later go on to provide the of voice Brainiac for Superman the animated series who was also another cold unfeeling villainous machine. A Decepticon who remained behind on Cyberton and protected the planet as it's guardian for 4 million years deserves true respect. I wished we had got an episode where Shockwave came to earth and joined the Decepticons in battle against the Autobots, i think that would have been a lot of fun. Shockwave is easily in my top 3 favourite Decepticons.

I’ve always loved his G1 voice the most

I love Shockwave he's the most powerful decepticon and Autobots fear him and also Shockwave is powerful he could overthrow Megatron and he's the only logical decepticon that has brains lol I love G1 Shockwave

Man, Shockwave is such a dummy, I love him

I think Shockwave is by far the most scary Transformer of them all. His design, his calculative mindset.

3:09 lmfao megatron sounds so depressed

Love how at 13.50 Shockwave is actually using a lasergun...that is a tiny version of his own alt mode. Lol!!!

that Shokewave MP is very accurate, especially after checking out these scenes!

According to the toy description, Shockwave was second in command to Megatron. He was also scheming to take Megatron's place as leader. The storyline was completely opposite for the cartoon.

Every time I see the G1 movie I'm in awe of just how great it is, the animation was awesome, the voice acting top notch, the music.. OML.

Shockwave was one of my favorite Decepticons.

18:31 Hey “Mighty” Shockwave! Catch!!! ……Those BITCHES!!!

Corey Burton played shocks, brawn, and spike and sunstreaker

I like to think of Shockwave as the Waluigi of the Decepticons. He may not have as much screentime as Starscream, Soundwave, or Megs himself, but he's part of the family and warrants as much respect as the others except Starscream. The cyclops guarded and waited on Cybertron for 4 million years for Primus' sake.

I love the sequence with Brawn, Wheeljack and Jetfire against Shockwave and the Seekers. Shockwave reminds me of Gandalf when he says, "You cannot get out!"

Shockwave is the "BADASS" of the Decepticon. Starscream don't turn your back at him. Also, 8:17 Soundware is "COOL".

my two favorite autobots and Decepticons is Ironhide, Ratchet, Soundwave, and Shockwave

You would think shockwave would betray megatron for controlling cybertron for 4 million years! But shockwave is a royal decepticon on the tv show, but in the comics he was a traitor and hated megatron

I'm cool in G1 cartoon x)

36 minutes of Shockwave? yes please!

He sounds like David Warner

17:57 meme material

The clip from 6:30 is just Corey Burton talking to himself for most of it XD

Corey burton did an awesome role for shockwave in the transformers franchise

Shockwave is one of the best characters he is literally loyal to megatron both in every generations

In the deceptacon ranks, soundwave is the 1st one I liked because of his voice and loyalty. Then came shockwave. Finally, Megatron. In the Autobot ranks, Optimus prime, then Omega supreme. Because even though he had been exposed to the sinister reprogramer, ( out if lack of a better word) , he still wasn't changed into a bad guy.

Shockwave will ways be in my top 3 favorite Decepticons, and maybe even Transformers, because he is just... the cool oozes off of his design, the mono eye, the gun arm. it's just fricking cool.

29:34 this is how onslaught should be in the last knight

2:20 3000 seconds is about 50 minutes. Quite a long time to wait for a recharge. EDIT: Apparently the original script just said 183 minutes but the show changed it to 3000 Astroseconds. TFWiki did the math and 183 minutes divided by 3000 is 3.66, so an Astrosecond is 3.66 Earth seconds.

thx for the video shockwave's greatest hits

8:21 "I can NOW! Thanks butthole!"

I would like to see all Soundwave appearances.

Megatron can always depend on Soundwave and Shockwave.

Shockwave is a worthy successor to Megatron, him or Soundwave

Shockwave = most underappreciated Transformers character

He transformed into a giant gun ... with a handle.

Let's be honest shockwave and Soundwave were the only loyal decepticons to Megatron.

I’m just waiting for him to say “Oh shit.”

I always thought it was super weird and stupid how the white bit at the tip of shockwave just flies off into nowhere whenever he transforms

Thanx for putting this upHuuuge shockwave fan

List of things needed to defeat Shockwave: 1- walk through the space bridge.

A unused scene from the 1986 movie would have shown Shockwaves death. Unicron would have crushed his command tower ripped it off the planet and toar it to shreds, and though this was not shown in the finished version Shockwave was not seen again following the movie.

4:40 Shockwave's Burden

Always be the best Decepticon

Shockwave is easily my favorite transformer

I'll never forget when i saw the Shockwave toy in the shop when I was about 11, a couple of months or so before Christmas. Thinking, it will be there for when mum can buy it in a few weeks. Only for me to return to that shop some time weeks later and they had all sold out. I was gutted. I never saw it sold anywhere again after that. Or even before that time.

26:01 This quote pops up in my head a lot...

Imagine how totally boned the Autobots would be if Megatron brought Shockwave with him and left Starscream behind

this is fucking awesome! thanks for the upload

R.I.P. Shockwave (1984-1986)

love the decepticons!

So many heroic Decepticons died at the hands of Unicron in defense of Cybertron :(

Nice video.

Favorite Decepticon

Shockwave was always my favorite.

Jeez Starscreem really hated Megatron in the show but Megatron finally killed him 34:11

[17:51] - Shockwave the real sigma...😎

So glad this Decepticon general came back in Bumblebee. Even with his german scientist voice

I love how Shockwave is British for some reason

Shockwave Should Have had a Voice similar to Soundwave's one, that would've been Awesome af.

Shockwave had a good 36 minutes of screen time across 2 seasons and a cameo in a film. Pretty respectable.

I love them using astro seconds and nothing else. Don't worry, Megs, just got to wait 72 BILLION astro seconds

All hail Megatron!

megatron have blue eyes 2:56

I like the part where the autobot tries to hit him with a gurtter bus shockwave melts it

It turned out, Shockwave was killed by Unicron during the attack on Cybertron. Although his death was on the movie script, it was never animated in the final cut. This explains why he never appeared in Season 3.

Megatron:shockwave guardian of cybertron Shockwave:Megatron leader of the the deceptions Megatron:and future leader of the universe lol

I love Shockwave’s extended use in The Search For Alpha Trion. It’s one of the few time he got to actually transform and be useful in gun mode.
