Fictional biography
Bombshock was once a member of the most elite unit in the Cybertronian military. He betrayed his comrades, and his reward was to become commander of a powerful Decepticon Power Core team. Even alone, each of his drones has as much firepower as the average Autobot. Together, they are nearly unstoppable.
