Shockwave

Shockwave made their Modern Age entrance through Dreamwave Productions in 2003, stepping onto the page in Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #5 alongside heavy hitters like Megatron, Prowl, and Ratchet. Though their catalog footprint is compact — spanning a handful of appearances across Dreamwave's More Than Meets the Eye titles before the publisher's run wound down around 2008 — this is exactly the kind of character that rewards the dedicated collector digging into that era's rich, ambitious Transformers mythology. A niche gem from a beloved chapter of Transformers comics history.
