Bombshock is a Decepticon Power Core Combiner Commander who turns into a military vehicle.[2]

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.

This version on Bombshock has not yet appeared in any fiction.
