| “ | All life is equal. I merely assign it a quantifiable value — Zero. | „ |
| ~ Shockwave |
| “ | All that ever was and all that will be will cease to have meaning, or indeed to have ever held meaning. I do not seek to change anything...
I shall remove the very concept of "change". All of space and of time shall exist as a single point, an ultimate singularity. An ultimate black hole. Here, on Cybertron. And this world will consume all the resources of the universe in one never-ending moment. The only space and the only moment that has ever or will ever exist. Cybertron will feed on the universe forever, and the very concepts of "Forever", and the concepts of "Forever" and "The Universe" shall exist only to feed Cybertron. All the universe. All of History - Shall collapse into me. A single point of light against the infinite darkness. And to defend my becoming, from across the universe comes my army of ammonites - seventy billion strong. And that, Galvatron... is how one dominates |

| ~ Shockwave to Galvatron |
Summary
When it all comes down to it, everything is about resources. Shockwave has always recognized this, and while those around him pursued power and politics and other petty concerns, the master scientist focused his superlative intellect on defeating entropy and securing the future of his species. A game-player and king-maker, Shockwave plans for everything, and while the shadowplay inflicted on him by the Senate may have robbed him of his emotions, it did nothing to curb his ambitions.
Although the dangerous logician sided with the Decepticons in the war that eventually gripped Cybertron, this is merely an alliance of convenience: Shockwave serves no cause but his own. Following eons of careful work, the scientist's influence is truly galaxy-spanning, and when his machinations reach fruition, the universe may never be the same again.

Universe level+ (Drew enormous amounts of energy from the Dead Universe since its creation, resulting in the dimension's lifeless state. Has complete control over space and time. Planned to revert all of history to a singularity where concepts, such as physics, time and space, would have never existed), possibly Low Complex Multiverse level with preparation (According to Nova Prime, Shockwave's plan would have combined all universes into one), Can negate durability in many ways.

Stamina: Nigh-Infinite (Can fight and move even with injuries, has been known to work for years at a time, and cannot tire physically)
Range: Extended Melee Range. At least Tens of Meters with his cannon. Low Multiversal, possibly Low Complex Multiversal with prep and Regenesis ores (Simultaneously affected the main universe and the Dead Universe, and eventually the entire multiverse)
- Arm-Mounted Cannon
Shockwave is always seen with a cannon attached to his arm, where his left hand would be. The cannon is comparable to the power of Megatron's Fusion Cannon.
Intelligence: Supergenius (Shockwave has mastered every field of science, and knows all of Cybertron's history down to the smallest detail. He conducted the 600,000 year plan of Regenesis, and carefully manipulated Cybertron's history for his own ends.)
Weaknesses: None notable. Shockwave has been noted by Megatron to never show any emotion. Due to this lack of emotion, he can never showcase signs of overconfidence or anger. This coupled with his extreme intellect makes him perfectly without weakness.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Shockwave has been shown to turn off all higher functions of his brain during a situation he deems completely illogical. The only functions that remain are anger and knowledge of fighting. While this "rage" protocol was active, he was able to make short work of Grimlock, and the other Dynobots.
- Ore-1
Ore 1 grants Shockwave absolute control over time itself, allowing him to travel towards all points in time as well as shift others through time, reverse and forward time and warp reality to his will. Shockwave used the power of Ore 1 to forward the universe to its death.
- Ore-2
Ore 2 grants Shockwave the power over death. It causes a localized decaying effect and anything it comes into contact with will instantly drain the life off of its targets. It also functions similarly to the death powers of Nova Prime, Galvatron and the D-Void.
- Ore-3
Launched some 600,000 years ago, Ore-3 landed on the planet Prion and took root, seeding the planet with its unique ore. Exactly what the ore does is unclear, but it may have some control over mass shifting, and allows Shockwave to change its size.
- Ore-4
As part of his Regenesis project, Shockwave seeded Caminus with Ore-4 600,000 years ago. Ore-4 is capable of controlling gravity, allowing Shockwave to increase it to crush opponents or use it as a means of levitation. Shockwave can also use Ore-4 to bend light in order to make himself invisible.
- Ore-5
One of Shockwave's Regenesis ores, Ore-5, "Combination", was seeded on the planet Devisiun. Exactly what the ore does is unclear, but it presumably involves combining things in some fashion, likely merging with other bots.
- Ore-6
Ore 6 allows Shockwave to absorb heat and energy on a planetary scale, being able to reduce a planet into a cold, freezing state. Ore 6 and Ore 8 allows Shockwave full control of all potential energy sources in the universe. Absorbed massive amounts of energy from the dead universe.
- Ore-7
Ore-7 is a variety of energon possessed with mysterious powers of transmutation. This allows Shockwave to convert materials into another form, such as converting organic matter into metal and raw energy. It also allows him to heal himself from grievous wounds, and create immunities to diseases.
- Ore-8
Ore 8 emits highly unstable radioactive energy, allowing anyone who is exposed to it be driven insane by it. It can also cause illusions to those affected by it. It is very unstable and highly explosive. Ore 6 and Ore 8 allows Shockwave full control of all potential energy sources in the universe.
- Ore-9
Ore-9 is capable of warping space. This allows Shockwave to move anywhere he wants throughout the universe, as well as warp objects through space and to different locations.
- Ore-10
Ore-10 is a crystalline energon derivative, capable of literally "fueling deception" by reprogramming the minds of Cybertronians. This allows Shockwave to bend minds to his own will.
- Ore-11
One of Shockwave's Regenesis ores, Ore-11, "Evolution", generated on the planet Eukaris. Exposure to the ore is capable of mutating the Cybertronian body into a monstrous—but highly resilient and versatile—new form. This would allow Shockwave to adapt to a new situation as he sees fit.
- Ore-12
Ore-12, "Protection," is a variety of energon. When properly "bonded" to the body of a living being, it becomes a symbiotic suit of crystalline armor, capable of changing shape to accommodate the needs of its wearer while providing protection from even the harshest of environments.
- Ore-13
Ore-13 is the last of a series of artificially-created energon-derived ores seeded throughout the galaxy by Decepticon scientist Shockwave as part of his Regenesis project. Taking root on the planet Earth, Ore-13 boosts the power of The Transformers to extreme levels, leading those who later discovered it to term it "Ultra-Energon"; Shockwave favored the more prosaic name of "Power Itself" when christening the various ores after their different effects. It is not without drawbacks, however: while it will grant a user massively enhanced strength and durability, the more its power is drawn upon, the faster it burns out, leaving a user at risk of sudden de-powering in mid-combat.
