It was these traits which led to Megatron sending him to enlist in the Autobot armed services as a means of climbing the ranks and eventually taking the organization down from within. Shockwave was recruited by Megatron because his mass-shifting abilities allowed him to impersonate effectively a wide variety of shapes and sizes, making it difficult for Autobots to accurately track him during missions of infiltration and sabotage. Megatron, " This Is Why I Hate Machines" If he suspects his cover may be compromised, he's given to acts of desperation. Befitting a cartoon villain, he can confidently give those secrets away if he thinks he's winning. Over the years, he worked his way up the Autobot hierarchy until finally he was promoted to be the very head of the Intelligence Division itself!īefitting a double agent, Shockwave is highly secretive and fearful of detection. To establish his credibility, "Longarm" attended the Autobot boot camp alongside Bumblebee and Bulkhead. This puts Shockwave in the perfect position to undermine and mislead the Autobots while feeding strategic information to his true master. The undercover Decepticon is the perfect agent to pull this off, as he's able to change his voice, his appearance, and even his energy signature.
This size-changing master of disguise has infiltrated the Autobot security apparatus at the highest level: his cover persona is Longarm Prime, head of Cybertron Intelligence, reporting directly to Ultra Magnus himself. Shockwave is a covert agent in service to Megatron.
