after a lil formers comic featuring to one opticed, one handed logistics laser, I was currious about how his character may have been developed.
Does Shockwave have any personality or taken actions similar to a classical Pirate?

That's just what he wants everyone to think. Perhaps he lead a secret double life of piracy when he was supposedly guarding cybertron. *shifty eyes*

Now I really regret not buying that second Alternators Shockwave. He'd have looked awesome with a pirate paintjob.

I wish he was a pirate. He'd be great sailing the high seas on Tidal Wave, plundering places for Energon, Buzzsaw sitting on his shoulder.

Oh deary me.
I'll vote no. I can't see Shockwave being too good out at Sea.

If anything, Soundwave is an imperial captain. Why? Because he's a bad guy with an english accent, and everyone knows that in all future scenarios, the British are evil and rule space.

Nope, Soundwave's accent was definitely Statesian. He may have typoed and been referring to Shockwave (who was closer, and who we were actually talking about), but he doesn't really have an English accent either; more a sort of blending of the two.
I still think Shockwave and Soundwave should've swapped voices, it would've suited their characters so much more.

You know, in the animated series, he DID oversee large stockpiles of energon, which I suppose could be considered as booty.

Okay, I'll be back in a few hours with a picture. Despite the fact that this is blasphemy as he's my fave character, I for some reason can completely envision this.

Something had to keep Cybertron alive for all those millions of years before Megatron started sending energy home. He and his faithful drone crew could have taken a small ship and plundered nearby cruisers and planets for energon.

Pirates of Logic.
It sounded completely logical at the time. =o
Great picture, I love it!

Pixels of eight! OMGLOL! *dies*
I seriously have no clue where the idea of Shockwave being a pirate came from. He didn't lose an eye. He's a cyclops. He only HAS one eye.
