"HEY. WHY ARE YOU RUNNING? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!?"

So... I did something stupid lol. What if Shockwave was a Herald of Unicron? AND THIS DESIGN CAME INTO EXSISTANCE. And this cursed image in general. Hope you all like!

When your love willing to carried the cassettes for you:

SHOCKWAVE AND WHIRL!!

A Dangerous genius from the depths of the nemesis, an unknown danger beneath the depths of their very ship. Whirl, his bodyguard, eyes to the outside and most importantly his consort.

Time to talk about their LORE!

Shockwave awoke, connected to the wall, weak, cold and confused, connected to the wall by cords and wires. So much information was running through his head he had to break free from the wall to catch a break. It took some time The voice’s kept calling him shockwave. It took some time but Shockwave used the database he was connected too to learn the history of the cybertron war, what happened the planet, where he was and most importantly what happened to him. He discovered the decepticons called him shockwave because that’s what they’d call the database ai (similar to Siri.) created by Soundwave. He also figured out no one knew he was in this little room.

It was unknown who Shockwave was before his Empurata ritual happened. He doesn’t remember anything from his past not even his real name. Slowly things here and there would come back to him, memories of his old life, people he cared about but don’t know anymore. With the discovery of cybertrons demise. Shockwave became angry. He want the both decepticons and autobots to die for their war, he knows that their planet may be beyond fixing. He swore a slow revenge for both parties.

But while upgrading and plotting, he started getting some of his emotions, he started getting lonely and wondering if any other Empurata we’re capable of breaking out of their trance.

(Only decepticons have Empurata aka drones in their faction due to have enough resources for them and that they are basically fee labor. Drones are lower class them not really considered alive, so often times they are vehicons or work in dangerous areas. They are lower than servant Class cons)

Shockwave didn’t want to damage any vehicons or cause unnecessary death. So he told himself if he caught one with any hint of life to them he would continue with procedures. Until then he worked on himself and mapped out weaknesses in the decepticon army.

One day he spotted a vehicon looking at itself through windows or lagging behind others. Not entirely paying attention. It wasn’t hard to find him because of the unique markings on its neck. Shockwave stole him away, no one would notice and went though the procedure of waking the vehicon.

The Drone was confused and scared most of the time and barely spoke. Mostly just staying in a corner or looking at their reflection. Shockwave would mostly leave them alone. Eventually tho as the Drones personality began to shine through, they asked questions or make pretty honest remarks, they could offend times be considered rude. Shockwave didn’t care tho, it was nice just to have someone around. Then the Drone personality came back full swing Bold, crazy, honest, crude. Most interesting this mech had no fear. They were also a very skilled and dangerous opponent often pulling insane manic maneuvers when fighting just too win, they were incredibly strong. It was hard for shockwave to keep up. One day the drone remembered his own name, Whirl.

The two work closely together. Whirl pretends to be a regular old vehicon on the surface. While shockwave upgrades and preps their next movie. It’s difficult for Whirl sometimes tho, because he doesn’t take disrespect lightly and he has to keep most of his skills to a minimal level.

I lied I couldn't find a way to add the primes (yet tho DW) and I didn't feel like doing TC and SW yet so more shockwave content. Part of the au in previous posts. The next post of the au is going to be with soundwave to match with this (it will give more information).

So yeah my reason that empurata isn't a thing is that he's younger here and also the council isn't able to do that also it doesn't exist. That's why I kept some similarities to his usual face with the colours and soundwave.

My plan is to post some intros and lore of this au for a bit and then I'll stop so I can practice drawing so I can give more content and also maybe writing.

Shockwave and soundwave are now added to my au (check out the other post if you've only seen this one pls)

This is surprisingly my first time drawing bots that aren't Starscream even though soundwave is my second favourite.

This took longer to post especially due to it being the work day's but I still got it done 👍🏻.

On the last drawings I tried to at least make it look like there are flames near them with the orange and red but that could use extra work.

I'm trying to see what design I should stick with cause there'll be changes from the original designs.

Thanks for the 24 likes on the last post did even better than the previous one.

I have more to give on Shockwave and Soundwave but that may not be the next post.

The break up has been hard 😔 lost everything to a truck homewrecker… just needs some ice cream and some heartbreak music rn. “Why is Soundwave wearing makeup??” Where do you think Frenzy got it from 🙄 just happens to be that Soundwave wears a mask regardless if he’s got it on

Yknow, at least the high command is accepting of him wearing makeup 😌 serving the decepticon cause one way or another

"Soundwave knows now that the Megatron he devoted his whole being to simply never existed, that Megatron that won his trust and love (his spark at the palm of his servo) was nothing but a lie."

Some angsty one-shot featuring our favorite Prime Decepticon communications officer :)

Wavewave redesigns for my personal continuity..

Soundwave turns into a UAV and Shockwave into a submarine - I used poor Nautica for reference since I had NO CLUE?? Can't really tell alt modes anyway since its so rough but oh welllll~

I love biolights and I need as many as possible

i might be a little obsessed with drawing shockwave guys dw

Honestly I find this "Chonkwave" thing hilarious✨ I did this to amuse myself a little, I hope you'll giggle too.

AU IDEA; It mixes Tfa with lore from Aligned, Idw, and a bit of tf one.

In the Aligned Continuity books it was make clear that Mirconus and Onyx prime were close. To the point that when Onyx had sacrificed himself to create the well of all-sparks, Mirconus had gone to join him since he couldn't bear to be parted from Onyx. In a way one can ship these two characters, I mean Solus was in a romantic relationship with Megatronus. The brotherhood was more in spirit, and bond between the thirteen primes.

Taking in the fact that Shockwave is Onyx in Idw. And that Mirconus cog was given to B-127, plus the fact that Bumblebee role in many continuities is similar to Mirconus. And that in the Aligned Continuity, Bumblebee was said to be one if not the last spark to be created.

I got the idea that some of the thirteen primes reincarnated, similar to Orion pax. With Bumblebee being Mirconus. It can happen in either that; 1. when it became clear that the planet was becoming ill from dark energon poisoning the it 2. a group of once loyal servants to the primes betrayed then, backstabbing them and leaving then to die at the servos of the Quintessons, with a deal between the backstabbers and the Quintessons. In the hopes of making things right, primrus reincarnates a number of the primes to put an end to it. However they all reincarnate at different times.

Whatever, it be, Onyx either is reincarnated as shockwave a warbuild with a genius brain module. Or in wanting to walk among the new generations of cybertronians, Onyx is able to take a part of himself, including a part of his spark to create an avatar, which is shockwave.

However, whether it be from the Council or other means Shockwave becomes corrupt, losing his emotions, or becoming cold-sparked. Onyx valued nature and life, his avatar is now the opposite, more in line with Quintus prime.

Mirconus prime is reincarnated way later, as B-127; who later takes on the name Goldbug, a cog-less Minicon. However, after the truth is revealed, the government that was in place falls, with two sides emerging; the Autobots and the Decepticons.

In an attempt to infiltrate the Autobots intelligence, Shockwave creates a clone of himself to be a sleeper agent, named Longarm.

Longarm acts logical, someone who sticks to the rules, and is a workaholic. Until, having to work in a group mission on potential Decepticon influence and activity on an organic planet, involving a bot called Goldbug. Who for some reason intrigues him, that their's something magnetic about the bot.

After an accident in which Longarm loses his memory, when first arriving on the planet, Longarm is more friendly, he laughs even.

Goldbug takes on the name Bumblebee, early on, and grows closer to Longarm. Longarm himself gains memories of Shockwave when he was younger, before becoming corrupt.

After, a number of events Longarm finds out he was the one that was leaking intell to the decepticons and that he is in fact a clone. Creating an existential crisis as Longarm finds himself stuck on whether he should go along with a plan that Shockwave has to poison the Autobots, or to try and risk going back to a life he so deeply wants.

Onyx acts as a little voice to Longarm to guide thos part of him to the right path. Which ends in Longarm finding and gaining Onyx mask, and becoming Longarm Prime. Becoming a half-god of ethical science and death. While Bumblebee gains the Chimera Stone when stopping Sentinel prime from attacking the once hidden minicon planet, becoming Goldfire prime.

However, in a last act to see his way, Shockwave steals Vector Sigma in a last ditch effort. He ends up shooting Goldfire, not offlining him, but making his spark immortal. Never to join the well of all-sparks. Never to join death.

Having to be planets apart from Longarm, as they can never be together, thanks to it.
