Shockwave first appeared in the Transformers franchise in 1984 as a one eyed Decepticon scientist and military commander obsessed with pure logic. The character has returned across animated series, comics, games and live action films, usually speaking in a calm, emotionless voice that suits short quoted lines. Clips of his dialogue circulate on soundboards and in fan edits because a single sentence can stand in for a whole reaction. This correction line follows that pattern, borrowed by creators who want a serious sci fi villain to settle trivial online debates.
