In this premiere episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we crack open the cold logic and terrifying intellect of one of the most infamous characters in Transformers history: Shockwave.
He wasn’t built to lead.
He wasn’t driven by rage.
He was ruled by logic—and that’s what made him dangerous.
From his haunting origins in Marvel Comics to his cold ascension in Transformers: Prime, and his mind-bending reinvention in IDW, Shockwave is more than just a calculating tactician. He’s a symbol of what happens when emotion is stripped away, when certainty replaces morality—and when the pursuit of control becomes indistinguishable from madness.
Through dramatic storytelling, continuity-spanning history, and philosophical reflection, this episode explores:
– How Shockwave’s pure logic turned him into a monster
– The terrifying outcomes of his experiments with time and destiny
– His role as both puppet master and fallen Prime
– And the greater question: what do we lose when we erase emotion from power?
This isn’t just a character breakdown.
It’s a cautionary tale.
