[Verse 1]
Circuits cold, calculations made
In Megatron's service, my loyalty laid
My logic is cold, my actions precise
In this war, you will pay the price
[Pre chorus]
Your pleas for mercy, just static noise
In the face of logic, they're void of poise
It is the only logical thing to do
Cold, hard facts, will see me through
[Chorus]
Prepare for termination!
This is the final equation
No last stand, no heroic
The final stroke, of Cruel Logic
[Verse 2]
In data streams, my power lies
Against my might, every rebel dies
Your reasoning is hardly logical
Your end is near, it's undeniable
[Pre chorus]
Your struggle ends, in vain you yell
Against my logic, you cannot rebel
To face me is to walk through hell
A calculated demise, in my cell
[Chorus]
Prepare for termination!
This is the final equation
No last stand, no heroic
The final stroke, of Cruel Logic
[Bridge]
Commands are clear, my mission defined
In his conquest, my tasks are assigned
In steady service, my duty known
I am only loyal to Megatron!
[Chorus] x2
Prepare for termination!
This is the final equation
No last stand, no heroic
The final stroke, of Cruel Logic
[Outro]
Autobots will fall to Megatron's might
My strategies ensure they lose the fight
Efficiency and logic dictate the war
Victory in calculations, nothing more

Shockwave would unalive a child just because it has a .000001% chance of becoming a threat. He does not have emotions or feelings like the other cybertronians. He is truly a machine.

No shock wave would see the child has 0.000001% chance of being a threat, then bump it to 100% or 10000% And possibly into an unidentified thing

[@videontekuro9399]

I mean... In IDW comics, bro literally spent millions of years experimenting and planning, nearly succeeding in wiping out all of existence by turning it into an atom sized energy source that would forever power cybertron, was stopped last second, before being sent back in time and basically rewriting all of history... Yea, best not fuck with Shockwave.

[@Silverwing2112]

Bro, Shockwave has done things Geneva couldn't even imagine in their most twisted human nightmares. He is goddamn *terrifying* and one of the *last* Cybertronians I ever wanna meet.

[@spitfireblaziken3663]

So, I am taking Philosophy in college this semester, and we recently talked about the idea of logic, and Shockwave is a perfect example of the dangers of a life led solely by logic. There is no scientific reason that something like murder is wrong. We base that on morality, which has little scientific basis, but is something we trust nonetheless. Shockwave doesn’t care about morals. He only cares about what the most logical course of action is to complete his goals. So if someone like a child poses even the slightest obstacle to those goals, and Shockwave cannot find any use for them, he will eliminate them, because it’s the optimal way to achieve his objective, morality be damned.

[@moonlitscrawls762]

Counterpoint: That morality has an evolutionary basis in the fact that cooperation is beneficial for our survival, and traits that make us cooperate with each other such as an aversion to killing one another would be selected for. We could then proceed to extrapolate this into the simple statement that murder is logically and pragmatically a bad decision as it reduces our capability as a wider species. The only time this statement would not check out is if another person is a genuine and significant threat to yourself, and with the general sentiment about self defense we can see that when the logic stops holding up, many people stop caring in the moral sense as well.

[@grey9803]

Bit of a misunderstanding you have there mate, it's not that he doesn't care it's that he physically CAN'T care (depending on the iteration, shockblast was...... We don't talk about shock blast 😂) you have to remember we was lobotomized to become essentially a manufactured and controllable sociopath

[@user-pr9nf5zj2c]

If you think about it, it becomes clear that the most of morality's norms is logical.

[@ThePaeppa]

Depending on the continuity, 'In Megatron's service, my loyalty laid' can be a straight up fucking lie lol

[@carlosmedina1281]

This absolutely plays on loop in Shockwave's head as he casually commits atrocities that would make Geneva self-delete out of fear.

[@pauls3488]

People from the Geneva Convention: No more war crimes. Shockwave: commits war crimes that the Geneva Convention never thought of. People from the Geneva Convention: never mind.

it's kinda weird how Soundwave is the dude with the monotone voice and, well, he was kinda emotional in the IDW comics but Shockwave is the one that doesn't have the monotone voice but HE'S the emotionless one

[@manbanasiak]

Very impressive. I think bumblebee should sing next. On how loyal he is to his friends, his heroics, and his warrior heart as a scout.

[@bluescreen7291]

Imagine bumblebee singing and it’s just 🔥🔥beep boop 🔥🔥, or it’s a bunch of jumbled up clips and stuff which actually sounds really cool in concept, sorta like those spamton deltarune w/lyrics videos

[@henrypaleveda7760]

wish granted.

[@UltraPoseidon]

I like how you took elements from various iterations of the character. The loyalty of G1, animated, and prime as well as the lethal efficacy of the comics. It's a really well done anthem for the purple Cyclops capable of making anyone darken their pants.

Either Bumblebee or Arcee in my opinion.

[@CyberSpeed420]

Yeah, I’d personally REALLY like one for Hot Rod that reflects his feelings about becoming Rodimus and leading the Autobots in Prime’s stead after the movie, slowly growing throughout the song from a reluctant replacement to a full-fledged heroic leader.

[@InMetalWeRust]

While Shockwave is a sadist and extremely logical he has emotions he just spent millions of years isolated from the rest of his species. You might want to watch Transformers Prime to see his emotions bubbling to the surface. His anger/annoyance with Starscream. He displays fear in the presence of the undead predacons. His ambition even seems to be waning and seems “happy” to be a loyal 1st lieutenant to Megatron. Now you want a cold logical and possibly truly emotionless character Soundwave has always been all three of these things throughout most of the continuities.
