![]() ![]() The Autobots made their way inside him to take out the Decepticlone platoons inside and destroy him, but discovered that Tidal Wave wasn't merely a transport. Tidal Wave, in his combined battleship mode, was stationed as a relay and refuel point off a small chain of islands in the Mid-Atlantic. Megatron might be a jerk, but he cares for his troops' physical fitness. Alpha Quintesson, however, saw something in him, and reformatted him into Mirage, noting as he did so that Scorponok had fallen out of Unicron's favor. While he went on several raids and missions with the Terrorcons, it became clear to him that he wasn't the most respected of the team. In Energon, Tidal Wave was recruited by Scorponok, joining the Terrorcons. Tidal Wave was little seen in the Armada comic from Dreamwave, appearing only in a panel or two in the final story. Pretty Soldier Sailor Tidalwave! Dreamwave Comics continuity Armada When Galvatron flung himself into the energon sun to destroy Unicron's spark, Mirage loyally followed after him and seemingly ended his life. He continued to serve Megatron throughout the war for energon. ![]() He also apparently gained an upgrade in intelligence, although he also started to buddy up with Demolishor and Snow Cat to form a comedy relief trio. Mirage traded his gigantic, hulking body for a smaller, sleeker, and speedier form. Megatron called for a retreat and hauled Tidal Wave's damaged body back into space, where the giant Decepticon was reformatted into "Mirage". During a battle on Cybertron, an energon tower collapsed on top of Tidal Wave due to a shot from Shockblast. Tidal Wave would later show disdain for the madman Decepticon recruit Shockblast. Following this, he continued raiding Autobot bases, only under Megatron's orders. Although he clearly disliked Scorponok, he carried out orders in attacking other energon reserves run by the Autobots until Megatron returned. After being attacked and abducted, he was brought to Scorponok and Alpha Quintesson's base of operations, where they convinced him to side with them by promising to revive Megatron, a deal which Tidal Wave eagerly agreed to. Tidal Wave's post was one of the first targets of the Terrorcon hordes. During the ten-year period that followed, Tidal Wave somewhere along the line changed not only his color palette but his occupation - instead of being a warrior, he was now a guardian of the energon mines in the Sol system's asteroid belt. Voice actor Doug Parker (US) Jin Yamanoi JapanĪfter the end of the Unicron Battles, Tidal Wave loyally followed Galvatron's last request - that the Decepticons remain at peace with the Autobots. Tidal Wave was present at the meeting between the Autobots and Decepticons during the Unicron Battles in which the two sides formed a temporary truce, notably shaking hands with Jetfire. This prompted Starscream to toss the Star Saber to the Autobot leader, which he used to slice off one of Tidal Wave's chest guns and forced the Decepticon to retreat. Hot Shot nailed Tidal Wave in the eye with his axle cannon, but the powerful Tidal Wave recovered quickly and caused problems for Jet Optimus, whom couldn't so much as scratch him. The Autobots initially assumed both Decepticons were part of a combined attack, but eventually came to Starscream's assistance against Tidal Wave when the Decepticon shot him down. DesperateĪfter Starscream cracked and attacked Megatron, Tidal Wave was sent after him to Earth when the rogue Decepticon jet escaped their moon base with the Star Saber in his possession. Tidal Wave gave Megatron flight capability and an overwhelming amount of firepower, which kept Jet Optimus at bay long enough for Megatron to slice the connection point between Optimus Prime and Jetfire with the Star Saber. Megatron declared that "The Power is Mine!" (whatever he meant by that exactly is unknown.dork) before setting off in pursuit of Jet Optimus. Tidal Wave transformed and split into three component vehicle sections (which also somehow shrank in size), headed for Megatron and Powerlinked with him, forming a combination known as Burning Megatron. Pounding the Autobots with firepower, Thrust called out to Tidal Wave to initiate his party piece. However, Tidal Wave quickly recovered and transformed into his massively powerful robot mode, quickly sending the Autobots scrambling for cover. This was exemplified when Hot Shot and Blurr capsized the huge warship and sent it to the bottom of the deep. Thrust claimed Tidal Wave was a general that led Decepticon forces to a victory, an unsubstantiated claim that seems rather out of place considering Tidal Wave's. Tidal Wave was originally brought to Earth by the Decepticon strategist Thrust in an attempt to bolster the Decepticon forces so that they could obtain the Requiem Blaster.
