Shockwave has been accurately described as 'a computer on legs.' Logic rules Shockwave's thought processes and is the source of his every inspiration. He sees emotion as a weakness and a distraction, and due to a Cybertronian punishment, he was lobotomised, replacing his head with a single optic and losing a servo, along with losing any and all ability to feel emotion. Shockwave plans for everything, and his loyalty to the Decepticons comes second to his loyalty to pure logic. Cold, calculating.
