Shockwave (Transformers) Shockwave (Transformers) Shockwave is the name of several fictional characters in the Transformers robot superhero franchise. Throughout his incarnations, he is usually distinguished by a laser cannon instead of one of his hands and his distinctive face, which is featureless save for a single robotic eye. He is also commonly portrayed as a cold, emotionless Decepticon that serves as Megatron's "mad scientist". Due to issues with Hasbro's trademark of the name Shockwave, some products were also released under the name Shockblast or "Shockblast the Great". As the Decepticons' military operations commander, Shockwave's power is second only to Megatron, and even
Transformers: The Last Knight as Robert Epps, but was unable to appear in the film due to scheduling conflicts with "The Fate of the Furious". In March 2015, Deadline Hollywood reported that Paramount Pictures was in talks with Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman ("A Beautiful Mind") to pitch new ideas for the "Transformers" franchise's future installments. The studio intends to do what James Cameron and 20th Century Fox have been doing in planning three "Avatar" sequels, and what Disney has done to revive "Star Wars", with sequels and spin-offs. Paramount wants to have their own cinematic universe for "Transformers", similar to Marvel's/Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe
