Shockwave is a Decepticon whose skills are at relations between organisms, working as the ambassador between Earth and the Decepticons, along with his aide Fistfight. Calm, wizened, he's intelligent and patient, though no scientist. Like most Decepticons, he's more than willing to put his life on the line to save humans. Although his fighting techniques are entirely defensive, he's more than capable of putting a hole through any Autobot.
In his alternate identity, Longarm, he is an Autotrooper officer. He was always kind of a wet blanket, but recently he's been acting really strangely and disappearing for long stretches of time without explanation. He's even started saying stuff like "Interrogative" and "Conclusion" before his sentences.
Shockwave's body is based on Transformers: Energon Shockblast. According to Trent Troop, his colors were chosen because they were the opposite of Generation 1 Shockwave's.
Shockwave's ability to disguise himself as Longarm is an homage to Transformers Animated Shockwave, who infiltrated the Autobot ranks as Longarm. Longarm is a disguised Shockwave, but which Shockwave is still unrevealed.

Famous quotes containing the words shattered and/or glass:
“It tosses up our losses, the torn seine,
The shattered lobster pot, the broken oar
And the gear of foreign dead men. The sea has many voices,
Many gods and many voices.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“We all drew on the comfort which is given out by the major works of Mozart, which is as real and material as the warmth given up by a glass of brandy.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
