Table flipper by AzureJelly on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Sometimes I wonder if senator Shockwave had been rescued from the Institute. Although his fate is still unpredictable, what could be foreseen is that his behavior is affected by both logic AND emotion. If he was still in OP's camp, he would probably be similar with Prowl, partly. Just like pre-war era, driven by logic, he tends to scheme for greater good, even the means are ethically problematic. While his emotion, which is embodied as conscience, prevent him from going too far. During the war, this dilemma became more compelling for procedural justice has to give way to urgency to a great extent. In this time, OP could be the one who constraint him and give him direction, instead of letting him fallen into the dark side. Just like before, except their roles exchanged.

BTW, due to his "emotional outbursts unbecoming a senator" reputation, when facing some annoyance, he could express his emotion in some extreme way like FLIPPING TABLES. How would OP feels when two table-flippers around him. LOL
