One of these days I want a human to join the decepticons, and ask Shockwave with a straight face what the Uni-boob was for. I can already imagine Shockwave turning to Megatron, and BEGGING him for permission to kill the human.
It's pretty impressive that you got an interview with someone who worked on the official Transformers cartoons. And it is infinitely more impressive that you got literally the LEAST qualified person involved in the creation of the show to interview.
He asked a voice actor someone who doesn't have any control on lore and he asked the va that didn't even play The character AND that VA's character never even interacted with the main focus
Skywarp: shockwave... Why is your chest made of tinted glass? Shockwave: *opens chest revealing his megatron minifigure colection* noone will believe you *leaves*
One of my favorite parts about the transformers community so far has been just how cozy it feels. Compared to other franchises, it feels like fans are way closer to the people who actually work on the shows. The fact a relatively small TH-camr can get an official voice actor just to ask him a meme question and have him actually play along with it is amazing.
Just looked at Shockwaves old action master toy because those came with diagrams that labeled every part of the TF’s body, and apparently his monoboob is officially called an “energy storage reactor”. The more you know.
I’ve used a shockwave avatar in VRChat and can confirm he is completely blind looking down due to his massive honkers. Not only that, but pretty much every other transformer avatar I’ve used has a blind spot due to less prominent robo-boobs. Seems like all transformers need breast reduction surgery…
Facts!! I play vrchat and have a shockwave avatar very much resembling the G1 shockwave. You deadass can't look down. You literally gotta either bend forward or move back a few feet lol. Also as a side note me and a friend went to a world where u can actually bake with ingredients. I challenged them to bake a cake as shockwave. Lemme tell ya that shit was hilarious!! Considering that shockway was a giant in the kitchen it was amazing watching shockwave flail around trying to find ANYTHING with his tiddy in the way XD
As an avid Skockwave enjoyer, it’s obviously (depending on incarnation) a holographic projector/tv and a lazer cannon, or is a series or solar panels and a… storage compartment.
Do you know why Prime Shockwave had it doe? I know he's a tank and the chest plate becomes a kind of screen where humans would be able to look through if they were inside him, but as a Cybertronian that's never connected to smaller beings, I question how he has that design since the concept of smaller creatures riding Cybertronians wouldn't exist for him on Cybertron
My personal canon is that though Shockwave looks to have one eye, his body is actually covered in eyes to allow him to see all of his blindspots, making it impossible to attack him stealthily. My support, he has 2 eyes in Cyberverse one on top of the other, and in Dark of the moon, where Shockwave was still able to see despite his eye hanging out of his socket.
Due to how rarely we ever see him transform I always assumed that it was like part of the windshield or something. I guess you could say it's a boob window.
On the toy, it was where the electronics were, so theoretically, it should be so he can house a power-pack for for his arm cannon.(this is my headcannon.)
Based on the Shockvawes which have a cybertronian tank/spider as their alt mode, the boob seems to be just the cockpit of said alt modes. Otherwise, in the other incarnations I would say that is their spark chamber (like the Japanese Transformers) and/or a massive compartment for more processing power to support Shockvawe's impressive intelligence.
I honestly imagined it as a screen of some kind to display information like soundwave does (as a kid I always thought soundwave and shockwave were related in some way). Or maybe it’s a storage compartment for science equipment? Like he keeps a scalpel and tweezers and other stuff in there.
I want you to know that the end skit has inspired me to make a shockwave top with a functional "purse" section in the front specifically to store snacks (and wallet i guess)
I never once, before seeing this video, equated Shockwave's giant chest with b**bage - or even robotic pectorals, for that matter. Now that you've brought it up though, it does make you wonder about the headlights on G1 Autobots like Prowl, and what would have happened if Arcee and other female Autobots had followed that body plan.

Shockwave makes a good point. It's no laughing matter. You can fit BW Megatron, Spongebob, Walter White, Superman, Captain America, Carly Shay, Gru, Cattus the One Blade, Invader Zim, Captain Rex, Fink, Beta Ray Bill, Mr. Incredible, Kratos, Fidget, Blinx, E-123 Omega, and an entire esports team in that thing. If G1 Megatron hasn't done it already, he needs to give his head scientist some respect
I’m happy that they didn’t make some goofy silly result and they actually came up with canon lore too it it’s used for fear storage protection and a table
For those interested in a more serious answer: it's where the electronics were stored in his original toy. I guess it was the only place they could fit it without interfering with the battery compartment or the moving parts in his torso.
Shockwaves boob (in G1) was the barrel of the gun he transformed into, but I believe (as an alternative since he is a scientist) that he could have held on the-go science equipment
Never have I watched a video so deep and insightful. Thank you, Famous TH-camr PaperPlane for asking the real questions and being real one. I salute you my fellow man.
Do you want the actual canon explanation? G1 Shockwave can generate beams of energy anywhere on the electromagnet spectrum, i.e. infrared heat, microwaves, radio waves, visible light, etc. His weakness is that he can burn through energon, but he has a *nuclear reactor* in his chest to supplement his high fuel use.
If you've read the IDW comics, then you'd know Shockwave is a lot like Darth Vader. He used to be an Autobot that had a rebellious attitude which gave him the punishment of Empurata. So he used to not always have boobs.
Realistically I think it’s the same thing as whatever Soundwave’s chest thing was before he became a cassette player, and whatever Optimus’s or Rodimus’s chest compartments were meant for before housing the Matrix of Leadership. It seems like most if not all transformers have a compartment in their chest to house the Matrix or something similar. Some with windows that show what’s inside and some without. But it seems like that space can be repurposed depending on their alt mode, like Soundwave’s being used to house his cassettes and Optimus’s becoming his truck windows. So maybe Shockwave’s chest compartment is just abnormally large because of how it gets used in his alt modes, but it currently doesn’t do much else (except glow) because his alt modes don’t require any other purpose. But yeah you could probably keep snacks in there.
My head canon is that it’s an extra computing attachment. That After shockwave went through empurata he installed the extra computing units in a custom attachment. And as a result the mono badonker
To add to my theory. If you look at senator shockwave in most versions his chest is more like a regular torso than the block that it is now. Also why I think it isn’t armour is because shockwave is a scientist not a warrior (at least that’s my mental image of him). Ps this is all fun and games this is only my personal head canon
What if shockwave is secretly a matrix bearer? His chest is shaped somewhat like the matrix and he's an extremely mysterious character so I wouldn't be surprised if he was hiding some secrets. His chest also becomes his vehicle mode in some forms like in prime and the BBM studio series toy
