- Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
This is a hard one, because essentially all of them are the exact same with a bit of difference here and there.
I can't really decide between idw, Animated, and Prime.
IDW is so cool, especially with the idea, that he's only loyal to his own goals and pretty much just works with the Decepticons during his free time. Plus you know, his artificial rage that lets him pull through. His character arch was incredible.
Animate was essentially G1 cartoon Shockwave, just more powerful and actually effective.
Prime, damn Prime Shockwave just has this presence, he'll just do mundane things and send chills down your spine and seem like such a badass, complete with even more machine like voice than the original. And he has my favorite part of idw Shockwave: artificial rage.
But I guess it has to go to idw after all, just because you know that fantastic quote of his when he's reactivated by Skywatch, who tell him that they planted a bomb in his head that would go of in 24 hours unless he did as they told him, his answer was just pure greatness:
"Twenty-four hours. Agent Red, do you have any conception of how much damage I could do to this insubstantial world in that time?"
That right there cemented him as one of my faves of the series. At that point he was like Mr Freeze in Batman TAS, only showed up twice, but already one of the most memorable and quotable characters.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
