Senator Shockwave is not defined by logic at all, but is rather impulsive, hot-blooded, and passionate. What drives him to do what he does is what he personally believes in, and he can be hot-blooded and irrational. He's kind and often acts on his fleeting whims, and loves his job. Due to being extremely moral and not at all corrupt, the other members of the Cybertronian Senate dislike him, but Shockwave is far more interested in how he can make Cybertron a truly better place. Very emotional.
