@@reaper_exd7498 This would only apply to IDW Shockwave. Prime Shockwave is a lot more emotional than you think. *Caring about Predaking, getting angry at Starscream, slight sass, and of course loyalty to Megatron.*
@@reaper_exd7498 say he can’t ‘enjoy’ it, but he could still find that time to be of greater interest, for lack of a better word or perhaps that’s the proper word. Shockwave clearly, despite his emotionlessness, expresses himself differently towards certain characters. You could say he finds Ratchet very logical. And in TFP, Shockwave definitely makes a point to call out the logical and illogical as he sees it.
I love this version of Shockwave because I don't think he has a big hatred of Autobots, at least not ones that are scientific. Man is just loyal, but not blood thirsty.
It’s never a matter of like and dislike with Shockwave, only a matter of what is logical for his goals. The Autobots have too many limitations, too many moral inhibitors. The Cons let him do whatever he wants so long as it works.
1:33: I definitely understand Knock Out's frustration. For a while, he was the lead scientist and physician, but now he's just Shockwave's disrespected assistant
I love that Shockwave is Rachet’s complete opposite yet he respects him, because he is a man of science and medicine. This is how a good villain is written, when they aren’t one dimensional and actually have layers. Shockwave isn’t just some lackey to Megatron, he is the smartest out of both the Autobots and Decepticons. He’s cold, ruthless and calculating, so much so Megatron made him his second in command and chief scientist.
Meanwhile Rachet is Optimus’s second in command while also being the Autobot’s Chief Scientist, Head Doctor, Top Engineer, and Guy Who Keeps Everything From Exploding. The guy is basically pulling triple duty as the team’s Soundwave, Shockwave, and Knockout. He’s also probably the only guy who can keep up with Shockwave intellectually. Lest we forget he made the original Synthetic Energon Formula in what was effectively a cave with a box of scraps. Imagine what the guy could have done if the Autobots weren’t working with a shoestring budget and had enough people to form a proper maintenance staff so Rachet could focus on his work.

Of course Megatron thanks him for his work now and then, but when he asks or expects it in return, they never do. Knock Out then realized that Ratchet and the other Autobots were the only ones who treated him with decency. That’s why I was super happy with Knock Out’s choice towards the end of the show.

There is a decent theory about the reason shockwave shows more and more emotion throughout the series is because he isn't isolated anymore back on cybertron he mostly did all his work by himself but here he has knockout,scream,and even megatron to talk to and slowly his emotions came back

I'm not much of a Transformers fan, but I do think there are comics and even a show that explores what if scenarios where the Autobots and Decepticons became allies and just worked together.
tbh, I feel like the moment Ratchet thanked Knockout is what led to his turn in the Predacons Rising movie. Aside from the winning team thing, of course.
It makes sense, I had a similar experiance with someone a few years back. We were looking at some archaeological findings and both absolutely fascinated. For a moment the fact he was a homophobic Bible thumper and im a socialist going out with another woman was completely outshone as we discussed which emperor was on the coin.
A glimpse of what could have been a glorious future of scientific endeavors for Cybertron, if Megatron hadn’t been so jealous of Orion Pax receiving the Matrix or if the High Council had changed their ways
Without a doubt, one of my favorite episodes of the series. Some of TFP’s strongest elements are the character interactions and their dialogue. I can literally sit here and listen to Ratchet and Shockwave’s scientific conversations and not get bored. It’s just that fascinating.

Poor guy got demoted. He went from the smartest person in the room to dumbest person in the room and his own frankly impressive credentials gained him the illustrious title of “Shockwave’s Whipping Boy”. Dude’s being outright insulted
Everyone saying Shockwave is just a scientist nerd forget that his science turn all living beings in the universe into biofuel batteries for his time travel project. Bro was about to destroy all reality to becoming a being relating to that of a god.
But even if you’re held prisoner by him like Ratchet has, Shockwave isn’t sadistic like Starscream or Megatron, and he’s genuinely polite to his “esteemed guests,”. Bonus points if you’re on par with his scientific expertise and speak his high-vocabulary science language. All that aside, the first minute and three seconds does give us audience members a glimpse of what could’ve been a fruitful partnership between Ratchet and Shockwave if not for the war and their respective factions.

I can tell that Knockout does not like helping out with the project!
Actually, he doesn't like playing the part as lab assistant.
@@kirongauff4934Doesn't help he's out doctored by Shockwave and Knockout.
Poor guy got demoted. He went from the smartest person in the room to dumbest person in the room and his own frankly impressive credentials gained him the illustrious title of “Shockwave’s Whipping Boy”. Dude’s being outright insulted
Everyone saying Shockwave is just a scientist nerd forget that his science turn all living beings in the universe into biofuel batteries for his time travel project. Bro was about to destroy all reality to becoming a being relating to that of a god.
Shockwave and Ratchet reminds me of Tony and Bruce nerding out.
Tony Stark and Bruce Banner nerding out in the first Avengers movie?
@@TPDManiacXC626 Eeyup.

It was likely the accursed autocorrect that made nerding appear as needing instead.
@@TPDManiacXC626 you guessed it
Shockwave seem like a chill dude to be friends with not unless your his enemy
But even if you’re held prisoner by him like Ratchet has, Shockwave isn’t sadistic like Starscream or Megatron, and he’s genuinely polite to his “esteemed guests,”. Bonus points if you’re on par with his scientific expertise and speak his high-vocabulary science language.
All that aside, the first minute and three seconds does give us audience members a glimpse of what could’ve been a fruitful partnership between Ratchet and Shockwave if not for the war and their respective factions.
Huh, never knew Jeffrey Combs did voice acting, I'm so used to hearing Ratchet's voice here coming from the Weyoun clones in Deep Space 9.
When nerds from different gangs decide to nerd out together
