"Logical," Shockwave repeats with a scoff. Since when has he ever done what was logical? He supposes that's the point - taking everything that made him him and leaving him there to serve as a warning. But surely the Senate had gotten more than they bargained for if what Optimus is saying is true - they'd thought to bring him down and he'd just become something even they could not control.

Poetic justice, but at what cost? Shockwave leans into Optimus' touch, unwilling to turn away the offered comfort.

"No, I went to my fate knowing I wouldn't be the same. There is nothing to be sorry about, Optimus."

He doesn't blame Optimus for that, not in the slightest.
