In the Shattered Mirror Universe, Shockwave was the captain of the Bouncy-Ball who supervised an invasion of a planet in the Original Universe as part of Operation: Firestorm.
History[edit | edit source]
In 150,082 CMT, Shockwave was aboard the SM Bouncy-Ball when it was sent through a portal to the Original Universe as part of Phase One of Operation: Firestorm. The ship's mission was to clear an area of a random planet so that the Shattered Mirror Universe invaders could establish a base of operations. Shockwave attempted to deliver an inspiring speech to his bridge crew, which consisted of Cos, Inv, Nov, Oct, and Vok, only to be told that all of his speeches actually bored them. When the Bouncy-Ball was hit by a missile fired by the planet's human residents, Shockwave took great delight in revealing the reason for the ship's name as it bounced harmlessly off the surface and crushed the defenders' artillery with subsequent bounces. Once the Bouncy-Ball had stopped bouncing long enough to rest on the planet's surface, Shockwave deployed an army of DALs as supervised by Masaharu onto the planet to continue clearing the area. Shockwave was then contacted by radio by Masaharu, who reported that the DALs were performing well, until he was tranquilized and dragged away by the human defenders.[1]
When Shockwave was contacted by Uteria for a status update, Shockwave reported that, although Masaharu had been captured by the planet's defenders, the DALs had cleared a sufficient area for Uteria to continue with her plan. With the success of Phase One, Uteria initiated Phase Two, which involved sending an army to the planet aboard the Shattered Mirror II.[1] SM Genetoes then dragged a sheepish SM Masaharu to the bridge, who told Shockwave "Before you say anything, Captain, I just wanted to say I really enjoy working under your command". Shockwave replied "That's what you said after captures number 2, 8, 23, and 57! This is number 99! You better not get captured again, or you'll wish you hadn't!".[2]
Shockwave was then approached by SM Blackout, who boarded the Bouncy-Ball because Uteria had told him that he would find competent troops there. Shockwave replied to Blackout by saying "Indeed, you will find troops here, but I do not know if they are competent", gesturing to four hapless human soldiers: Alex, Jack, Ben, and Ollie, who together formed the Blackout Protection Society. SM Blackout groaned and left the ship with the human soldiers in tow.[3]
After Uteria surrendered to the ZFT, SM Shockwave and the rest of his crew used the SM Bouncy-Ball to flee to another part of the Original Universe to escape the ZFT's punishment. However, the crew soon encountered another threat in the form of D-Void, who used his host bodies Doom and Mine to turn the crew into new host bodies for himself before setting the ship on a course for a nearby moon.[4]
Later, D-Void used SM Shockwave's body to travel to Caiaphus's location and propose an alliance.[5]
The status of SM Shockwave, and all of D-Void's other host bodies, is unclear following the Architect's "discontinuation" of D-Void as a character.[6]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Like his Original Universe counterpart, SM Shockwave was named after a Transformers character.
