#Bayverse shockwave

[scourgeofmyownbrain]

Only one guy on here has two eyes, and even then, they're fake eyes. It's big-tits-McGee, Mr. logic man extraordinaire, Geneva Suggestion Believer himself: Shockwave! Yep, all 12 of him, a reasonable amount of alternates to have, unlike some people... Shockwave Height Chart, everyone, fuckin wee.

Edit: I didn't like the old scaling I had so I changed it. The old chart is at the end of this post.

Quick Disclaimer, if any of the images look weird, it's because I had to stitch a few separate images together to create a full body shot of the character.

Here are links to my Bumblebee Chart, my Optimus Chart, my Megatron Chart, and my Soundwave Chart. !!NEW!! -> Ratchet & Ironhide. Please go gawk at how many Optimus designs there are, sweet fuck, there are so many. For future reference, all these charts will be filed under my "Transformers Height Charts" tag and my "aka the adventures of a..." tag.

Explanations and Sources below the cut.

Unicron Trilogy Energon - ~14 feet 3 inches (No actual source, and Energon doesn't have any listed heights anywhere. For the uneducated, the Unicron Trilogy has given each of its 3 seasons separate names and 3 separate art styles. This is the design used in Energon (S2) though he only shows up in Energon. I was able to compare him to Optimus, and using Cybertron's listed heights, I got this number. I am in physical pain, it does not get better from here. Hilarious side note, his Japanese name is Laserwave, which contains the missing "wave" of Shockwave in this iteration's name.)

Earth Spark - ~15 feet (No actual source for ES, but using a barn door to get Bumblebee's height, then Optimus's, then Megatron's height, I was able to make a guess at Shockwave's. Shockwave comes up to about Megatron's chin; I lost the screenshot I used. It's so convoluted, I know, but it's all I have, also, tiny universe, everyone is so small)

TFA Longarm/V1 - 15 feet 2 inches (Animated has no actual numbers, but the lovely @phoenix-inanis has provided a frankly astounding resource with their own calculations for the heights of all the TFA characters. Go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Gen 1 - ~18 feet (TFWiki, uuuuh I've got nothing to add)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 feet (I have no source for this, other than assuming that because this design is identical to Gen 1, they are the same height. That's it, really)

Knight/Capel-Verse - ~18 feet (No source, and he never stands next to anyone I can measure him against, but because the TFOne director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, I am assuming the height I figured out for TFOne applies to this universe as well. Until proven otherwise. Capel directed the ROTB movie if you're wondering why his name is there)

One - ~18 feet (No source, I got this number by comparing him to Optimus. Now, I am aware of the TFO heights listed on the wiki, but I reject those numbers on principal. A: Those numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, so I have elected to use the few given heights we have from KCV and worked from there. My Optimus post has slightly more context if you want it)

Cyberverse - 20 feet (This comes from a screenshot of this video which has the Cyberverse height chart everyone uses, though the quality of the screenshot is iffy.)

Aligned Cont. WF/FOC/TFP - 26 feet 2 inches (This number comes from Fandom and I completely believe it, even if they don't list their source, because the entirety of this universe is freakishly tall. Go look at my other charts, all the ALC designs are monstrous compared to the others)

TFA V2 - 29 feet 11 inches (Once again, phoenix-inanis did a fuck ton of work, go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Bayverse - ~30 feet (Ok, so I don't have a source for this one. There used to be one, BV Shockwave used to be listed as 40 feet tall bc of an article done to promote the movie, but that is no longer listed for reasons not known to me, and making some comparisons to Optimus, I have found them to be kinda close in height. It's very hard to actually validate any of this. Shockwave never stands normally next to anything I can use as a ruler at any point in the movie. He's always at a dramatic angle or partially covered by something in the shot. It's so violently frustrating. I am confident he is around this height though, I just can't figure out how much taller than Optimus he is)

And that's it. I didn't have to leave any designs out, all of them are included here (hopefully). It was so nice to work with a character where I wasn't drowning in 20+ designs across every goddamn universe.

Edit: Here are the different layers separated.

vvv Old scale vvv

Some weird shit inspired by that Foundations comic.

Shockwave and his pet werm.

[robot-rarepairs-dotcom]

May I offer to you (since I've only seen it on Tumblr like twice) Bayverse Wavewave

I want the big things to smooch and maybe have aggressively passionate sex

And I mean like biting and scratching at each other while their arrays are grinding against the other's, they don't exactly love each other in the same way humans would, but they've definitely produced and raised at least a few minicon sparklings together

I don’t remember anything about Bayverse I forgot soundwave and shockwave existed in Bayverse I’m gonna be serious

Also I agree

[ctkigyo]

I enjoy crochet octopuses and to make it more fun I make some look like fictional characters. Here is Shockwave (bayverse) his eye looks way better irl. I will try to make better photos of it tomorrow:

And he can opne his mouth too.

I love him so much. 😁🥰

Who won the betting pool?

Starscream to his shock. Most of them will be similar to Megatron in color but the one who's built like him will have blue eyes.

Someone finally figures out the babies will only wear helmets if they like the look of them which means Megatron and by extension all Of the Deceptacons are trying to figure out saftey gear for frame types he's never encountered bound by the whims of sparkling asthetic sensabilities.

Megatron literaly calls all the Deceptacons to Earth not for conquest but if he must endure the indignities of carriage and parenting an immoderate number of sparklings so must they all.

Which results in Optimus calling all the Autobots to Earth. But Megatron only showed up to explain the meaning of this after the Bots arived. Megatron arives festooned in bitlits. "If I must endure creatorhood with only organic self help books Prime every last Deceptacon must as well. We are an Endangered Species are we not?"

Meanwhile Prime OP, who is in a baby version of his final form too, and Prime Megatron snuck off finger painted a wall togeather and fell asleep in a cuddle before they were missed. I'm not sure who found them but that woud be an interesting call to make. Cause Prime has big Optimus and Megatron. Especially after the divine upgrade.

Huh interesting

I wonder who found out about the helmets (I vote Shockwave by accident)

Sgdg them leaving out little helmets of all shapes and colors like leaving out shells for hermit crabs waiting for them to pick the one they like best

An immoderate amount of sparklings

He's right, Megatron is so right. They are an endangered species, but not for long

Humanity must be so confused

Bayverse Starscream is the only fucker out of all of them with any experience with hatchlings in canon, so I vote he is having such a time and he finds Prime! Megs and Op

Shockwave from bayverse :)

[coffee-cupps]

Guys I’m updating this right now. Stay tuned for a part two with updated rankings and new shockwaves!

Rating Shockwaves based on how much I’d like them to take me on a date.

For experiment purposes of course-

Number 9.

Shockblast: Transformers Energon

Rating: 1/10

Reasoning: He is very… destructive. He has a bad attitude and sounds like he just had 23 pounds of black tar heroin. I wouldn’t mind sitting down and getting to know him but, I don’t think I’d last 12 seconds around this emotional wreck of a mech.

——————————————

Number 8:

Shockwave: BayVerse: Dark of the Moon

Rating: 3/10

Reasoning: I wouldn’t mind going out to dinner with him but if he brings his pet, I’m out of there. If he could speak more English instead of mumbling Cybertronian, we might get somewhere. He doesn’t look very cuddly so, I can’t see us vibing on the couch anytime soon.

——————————————

Number 7.

Shockwave; IDW Comics

Rating: 3.5/10

Reasoning: Scary. I like bots like that but this is… scary on another level. In my opinion, he was one of the most fearful Shockwaves that I’ve seen. I’m sure he is a nice person deep down, but for now, I’ll just get a coffee with him.

——————————————

Number 6.

Shockwave; KnightVerse

Rating: 4/10

Reasoning: We don’t know much about him, having only heard him speak once or maybe twice but, I will go on a date with him. Can I sit in his lap? Yes? Awesome. I think we would have an ok time, though it would be awkward. If it goes well, I’d go on a few more with him, and he does look better than BayVerse shockwave so, maybe we can cuddle?

——————————————

Number 5.

Shockwave; WFC

Rating: 5.5/10

Reasoning: Hear me out. He seems like a cool guy. In the Show, you can see him flinching from Megatron quite a lot, making me thing he isn’t as ‘emotionless’ as he says in the show. I’d love to go out with him, and I think we would both have a great time.

——————————————

Number 4.

Shockwave; G1

Rating: 7/10

Reasoning: Cuddle bug. He is such a dork and a dumbass, I love him so much. We would have a great time just going out and getting coffee or maybe going to the library. G1, if you see this, call me🥺.

——————————————

Number 3.

Shockwave; CyberVerse

Rating: 8/10

Reasoning: Very angry man. I’d want to take him out to just let him get rid of some of that stress, like seriously. Poor fucking dude. I feel like he would have a lot of emotional issues so we would stay up late and watch the stars, venting to each other. He would love cuddles, but not around other people.

——————————————

Number 2.

Shockwave; Animated

Rating: 10/10

Reasoning: HUMP ME, FUCK ME, DADDY BETTER MAKE ME CHOKE. I love him so much honestly. His little deer antlers 🥺🥺. Please take me on a date, or 2, or 40, or just marry me please? I love how he openly laughs in the show and how stupid he is. In a cute way of course.

——————————————

Number 1:

Shockwave; TFP

Rating: 10/10

Reasoning: Do I really need to explain myself? Animated has the most emotional Shockwave but Prime has the most expressive one. I’d love to sit down with him somewhere and play with his little ear fins. I’d love to stay up late by his side and watch him work for hours on end.

meet the bayverse

[ctkigyo]

He likes pets anyways

Starscream: Please Lord Megatron, I can't take care of this thing anymore.

Reader: Did you just call me a THING!? You are the one built out of metal wastes but I'm the thing.

Starscream: Just give it to Shockwave. He likes pets anyways.

Reader: ...

Starscream: You wont object?

Reader: Shockwave's hot. He could do experiments on me and I would thank him.

Starscream: He's not that hot.. 😒😕

Reader: Do I sense some jealousy over there? 🤭

Starscream: Please. If you think he's better then me, it just means you have bad taste. 😌

Reader: Yes, of course there would be a problem with me and not you. 🙄

Megatron: If you may do it away from me. I don't want to listen to- whatever this is..

Meanwhile Shockwave: (◍⊙◍)

I wanted to write for Shockwave for a while, but could never come up with anything for him until now. His mostly just mentioned, but its not a bad start I guess. Love the little blushing Shockwave emoji tho lmao

[aceofhearts25]

I Want Them. 🤖

@tinydefector, @cyberrose2001, @botmilf, @revelboo, @desertrosesmetaldune SAVE ME! They’re taking over my fucking mind! I think I might’ve cooked- 😭

It took me way longer than it should’ve to draw Transformers One stuff- I feel late to the show- 😭 Welp, late than never. 🤷

Hope Tumblr doesn’t fuck up the quality. 🙄

[chico123000]

Freaken sobbing Bayverse my beloved

i really, really, REALLY need Bayverse Wavewave! (It's okay if you don't, I have a problem with asking, so I thought I might as well try.)

Note: I understand the movie designs are not everyone's thing.

I don’t know about you but I actually like Bayverse WaveWave! It’s a shame they were taken too soon though. Then again the movies progressively got worse so their deaths may be a blessing in disguise. I just haven’t gone into drawing them because their monstrous designs are so complicated. But because you were brave enough to ask, I was brave enough to try, and they came out better than I expected. ��

[transingthoseformers]

May I offer: Transfem Bayverse Shockwave

She hardly changes anything, but she does start wearing capes more often to be Dramatic and Cool

Ooooo?

Interesting

Yes

[parallelpie]

It's shocking at how many versions of this bot can fit this motto to a T.
