Shockwave has always had my respect! He's a Military operations commander that turns into a space gun. He's very scientifically minded and invented the Duocons, Triple Changers, clones, and Predacons (in TF Prime). He was never one of my favorites but I always found him to be an amazing character. Now I own the Dark of the Moon toy with the red eye, Alternators Shockblast, Combiner Wars MicroWave, and Nitro Zeus; who is a big fan of our disciple of logic. Some consider him to be a mad scientist, but he waited for Megatron for over 4 million years, keeping Cybertron safe basically all by himself. "Fear not Lord Megatron, Cybertron shall remain as you leave it." And he remained true to his word for FOUR MILLION YEARS. That's insane!
i mean no war he had free time and he could do almost anything while megatron woke up to battle optimus after 4 million years and dont forget hes a warrior in his own right
Typical politician. Big promises, but ALL talk. "We will control the plasma energy" ? 'And once we do, the plasma core will SAVE Cybertron, not doom it " ? What.a load.Of scrap!
all you care about is lining your own circuits, that and your approval ratings! youve got no spark. just like all the rest!..if cybertron has gone to scrap..youre just another scraplet crawlin in the pile!!
Talk about little-known powers. It deserves to be stated on every version of this theme: his clones are not made-up. It's a little-known piece of lore for Shockwave from the original series bible that was never used till now. He can make clones of himself on Cybertron only.
@@CaptainDemo779 Agree with you there chief, there's always that one guy who, even if the words stated are correct, will be like "wrong" or "no it didn't" bk cw is like that kid on the playground that goes "nuh uh" when you're speaking straight facts. It's like that one kid that says something is a certain way then when you ask for proof he's like "because my dad said so, he works there!" In this context Bloodyshiva: It says in the original series lorebook that he can actually create clones of himself but only on cybertron. bk cw: That's incorrect, I know because my dad works at hasbro.
That's the point. He sees himself as one of Cybertron's saviors, hence the heroic theming to his song (as implied by the words said during his fight about saving Cybertron and just doing what he believed Nova Prime commanded)
@@KodyCrimson Tbh, I always assumed it was simply because of how powerful Shockwave was in of himself and how being in the way of the protagonists made things... "action-packed and unclear."
This song fits so well after reading about his history in the IDW comics. More "tragic hero" than "mad scientist and sometimes guy who takes over when Megatron goes on some harebrained adventure."
It is more G1 based, but there are IDW influences, like Nova Prime, he's from the IDW comics, so I classify Devastation as it's own universe and time line. That and if this were truly G1, Megatron would still be a gun, but thankfully he's not and this game is a bit better since it does take influences and do it's own thing.
Yes, Motormaster and Menasor too take their look from their Combiner Wars version more than their G1 self, and we even have a little hint about Optimus Maximus in the end
The game is set in the Combiner Wars universe. It hints to Optimus Maximus at the end of the game, and all Combiner in game are based off their Combiner Wars selves. Combiner Wars is part of the IDW timeline, so Devastation is a part of the IDW continuity.
No, it just takes inspiration for some things by IDW continuity, but it's his own, things happen differently, for example Nova Prime's backstory is a bit different, the Proudstar in IDW continuity doesn't exist, and we are hinted in Devastation that Optimus will undergo modifications to become a combiner, while in IDW continuity he becomes one against his will when exposed to the Enigma of Combination by Prowl. Furthermore, some characters are their G1 cartoon self instead of their IDW version, like Grimlock
I remember my friends who don’t know transformers that well watch me fight him and when shockwave transformed one of them yells “OH SHIT HES A GAT, HES A GAT!” Classic
Honestly, if you put Shockwave's backstory anywhere near his IDW incarnation and fight him as Optimus, it makes a lot more sense why this track's so reminiscent of X Versus Zero from MMX5.
Shockwave’s head looks strangely like a No Man’s Sky Sentinel drone. He’s the Sentinel of Cybertron and now i can’t unsee it. Hell forbid G1 Shockwave really was the actual inspiration for the Sentinels
ReticularTunic7 This song was made in 2015 though. Although the composer for this game (Vince DeCola) composed the 1986 Transformers movie and Rocky IV.
It's-a me, Megatron I know that but when I mentioned that "I love the 80's" the song has a 80's rock influence and this game is based on G1 transformer

Honestly, the only good reason I can think of as to why this boss track sounds "heroic" is more obvious than it seems not. At this point in the game, the main cast of this game is getting desperate in fear of the consequences of Megatron's ongoing actions to turn Earth into "Cybertron II". Shockwave getting in their way wasn't going to be an easy fight to conclude, and that's why this music cranks up the heroism vibes to 11. *_"Never lose... HURRY!"_*
Starscream91 I didn't really grind when I 1st started, as I just leveled up Bumblebee with whatever EXP that I had. Being Bumblebee probably had something to do with it as well, since his combos and car ramming attacks are very easy to abuse. This will probably change since I'm on Commander now as Wheeljack. They definitely aren't kidding around with Commander being harder.

1 person found this song to be illogical.
More like their taste in music was illogical...
+Tahtorak Well played.
a logical move
CPU Galva Heart i have the game :-)

to be fair, transformer time is very different from human time, but I agree, that is still crazy.
That's some sick amount of loyalty!
I'm only now realizing shockwave is my favorite decepticon
@Coolboi McGee Because out of most of the characters he looks the most alien.
At least to me.
i mean no war he had free time and he could do almost anything while megatron woke up to battle optimus after 4 million years and dont forget hes a warrior in his own right
Autobots : *arrive on Cybertron*
Also Autobots : "Why do we hear boss music ?"
"You can't shoot for shit, Shockwa - OH GOD."

He got better
It's-a me Megatron. Megs did you give him aiming classes
Yeah.He managed to hit the Ark.From inside of it.
You don't need to aim if you fill the entire fucking room with lasers.
Don't slag with THIS former senator!
Anonymous Prime try the pits of kaon, i couldve gone pro if i hadnt joined the decepticons...i could break a prime in two..with my bare hand!!

All right,the truth,then.You're right about one thing........I DO need the plasma core.And energon.Wanna know why ? "I have a dream !"
that one day every cybertronian in this nation will control their OWN destiny, the land of the truely free dammit!

Shockwave for president!!!!!!!!!!
Enzashadowmieo he would have my vote
just voted. OH S**T! trump just won! note: that's not a problem 4 me
Trump vs. Shockwave popularity contest plz reply your vote
Enzashadowmieo shockwave
Oddly enough this never sounded like a villain theme to me, it always seemed more like a hero theme
Maybe he is the hero 😉
That’s the idea his theme is supposed to sound heroic it’s what he thinks is right and you can’t disrespect that It would be I.L.LO.G.I.C.A.L
That's the point. He sees himself as one of Cybertron's saviors, hence the heroic theming to his song (as implied by the words said during his fight about saving Cybertron and just doing what he believed Nova Prime commanded)

“We WILL control the plasma energy. And once we do, the plasma core will SAVE Cybertron, not doom it.”
I played it so loud that my room is completely filled with *shock-waves*
THIS IS HOW YOU DO FINAL BOSS MUSIC!
Shockwave isn't the final boss though....
Rip
Megatron IV was also great
But not as impactful as Shockwave's theme
Guitarist: Hey, how fast do you want me to play these cords?
Platinum Games:...
yes
Honestly, if you put Shockwave's backstory anywhere near his IDW incarnation and fight him as Optimus, it makes a lot more sense why this track's so reminiscent of X Versus Zero from MMX5.
"I'll dissect you. Slowly."
I love his lines in Devastation, namely, "Clarity of thought before rashness of action."
"at least he didn't bring a gun to a knife fight"
"You FOOL! I AM the gun at the knife fight!"
Shockwave’s head looks strangely like a No Man’s Sky Sentinel drone. He’s the Sentinel of Cybertron and now i can’t unsee it. Hell forbid G1 Shockwave really was the actual inspiration for the Sentinels
"Clarity of thought before of rashness of action"
This is now the theme song of War for Cybertron: Siege Shockwave.
I have that toy
I want the toy
"I'll watch your scraps rust."
I've listened to this song so much, it's ingrained into my mind... and I still, STILL cannot get over how fucking AWESOME it is!!!!!!
lets be real, shockwave was the first person we lost to when giving it our absolute all.
Mayday: *in the background, playing this rad boss music*
Shockwave: We will control the plasma!
I don’t understand how Megatron can transform into a handgun for the Decepticons, but Shockwave looks like a HUGE ASS CANNON FOR TRIPTICON
Mass shifting my guy
I guess that they can choose to mass shift, dunno much about it though.
Shockwave is a purple ray gun. It might be why they can keep making toys of him and not G1 gun Megatron.
*I L L O G I C A L*
THIS POST IS VERY L.O.G.I.C.A.L UNLIKE THOSE INFERIOR AUTOBOTS
Sort of autobots
é tão triste saber que um jogo tão bom desse não ganhou continuação 😔
if it did, Then it would turn From Great to Disasterous and Not in a Good way
One word: Glamorous. Quite surprising for a one-eyed purple robot with a nozzle for a hand!lol
Deadpool3E Don't. Insult. Shockwave.
Never. Insult. Shockwave.
For some reason I think more of IDW Shockwave than cartoon Shockwave when I hear this.
The music fits the logical geek
The best themes for the Best Decepticon
Gosh, This song is too good!
''I must protect Cybertron from all hostile threats.''
“We will control the plasma energy!”
"And when we do, the plasma core will save Cybertron, not doom it."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS VERSION!!!
Same :D
Behold, the anthem of logicality!!
I could listen to this until the end of time :-)
the perfect mental bleach after finding out how that a certain equestrian crossover illogically disrespected my dude
I'd ask why you get two badass music tracks but... you *are* Shockwave
Nemesis Bloodryche it would be illogical not to have them
Because he only has one eye, so they had to balance things out.
This boss in general ticked me off.
Shockwave and Soundwave team up
In Challenge mode 12
Clarity of thought before rashness of action.
My favourite song in the game for my favourite TF character; it's only logical.
Megatron is a bucket head with a shark inside the bucket
Shockwave gets the dopest songs in videogames
Boy do I love the 80's. Even thoe I'm born in modern times

No love for Satoshi Igarashi, Tetsuya Shibata, Jun Okubo
armorhide406 of course i love those guys, they made the music for this game
the one reason devastation was created was to improve shockwave's terrible aim
Anyone else getting PS1/PS2 era Mega Man X vibes from this?
Yup, and I love it.
yup
Oh yeah
Hold on the hardworking smart sientist has a rock theme

How logical is it to have one dude guard the space bridge to Cybertron?
It turns out VERY logical...
Shockwave: we will use the plasma core for saving cybertron no doom it
Ash ketchum: that is so insane😡😡😡😡😡
Not even the correct Shockwave quote. How illogical.
Welcome to cybertron.
WELCOME TO CYBERTRON WHELLJACK

We will control the plasma energy. Once we do, we will save Cybertron, not doom it !

Thats a gun.
Aws Iee I know, but it looks really much like a hose/Nozzle
shockwave the fireman.
Aws Iee it's the reason he gets to stay in charge when Megatron is gone - he can put out freakin fires
"Welcome to Cybertron..."
Logical
Metal Ajit Pai anyone?
Oh fuck
This shit felt like a Touhou boss fight.
And we thought Armstrong was the coolest Senator.
I'll admit that I prefer shockwave's cybertronian tank alt mode
tab for guitar please!!!!
why does this video not appear at all when i search it up?
As if the first act of the bosses music wasn't good enough 😂
Your mad shockwave you cant control plasma energy
Mimic the octopus: shockwave will destroy you tangle whisper and your friends autobots
What
Shut the fuck up Mimic will never stand where he did
Finally, a man of culture, I love the Tangle and Whisper mini-series.
And once we do the energy will save cybertron not doom it

How'd you get this one?
When he turn into gun mode this kick in.
It's-a me Megatron. Dude your profile picture is beautiful
Shoulda just been the ultra instinct theme.
I find that illogical
This song is great even though I hated his Boss battle when I first played the game f!ck these rays from his alt mode
Sound wave VS Shockwave. Who do you like more?

I love both
Me gustan los dos
Jojo vibes from this guy
