With the new Transformers Soundwave set officially out in the world, it’s time to pay tribute to the other wave-monikered Decepticon from Season 1, Shockwave; brought to brilliant life by Ben Cossy. This evil Decepticon, who turns into a ray gun and was tasked with guarding the base back on Cybertron, was never as popular as his cassette player teammate. But I don’t think that bothered him. Shockwave is a cold, calculating type, driven by logic. And, logically, a vocoder-voiced dude with a zoo in his chest is just cooler. That said, Shockwave isn’t without his charm and Ben has captured it all, from the distinct cyclopean visage to the laser gun in place of a left hand. If only there was some way to shove a jaguar inside his chest.
