With the departure from
Earth of the Autobots and Decepticons, Shockwave and the Sky Attack
Team found themselves free to pursue their own interests. Shockwave
has spent the last decade hiding among the armed forces of dictators
and tyrants around the world, signing on with whoever is most likely
to give him the opportunity to rain fire down on helpless soldiers
and civilians. There's nothing Shockwave loves more than to see
a huge column of oily black smoke rising from the center of a populated
area, and know that it was his bombs that lit the fires.
