Bat v1 all the way!
I haven't worked out a bio for these guys, as I truly don't know how they fit in. They are just a lot of fun. I did them with the intention of making them Shockwave's Army - able to do anything he can't. Need a truck full of Energon cubes delivered? Send a Shockbot. Need to walk in and take over a power sub-station without destroying the building? Send a Shockbot. Need minor repairs done? Send a Shockbot.
