"A robo bobby hits the beat"

— Jonathan Pearce

Shockwave was a roughly hexagonal shaped robot that travelled at 15mph and was entered by the Police in the Forces Special of Robot Wars Extreme. It was armed with a 22', 12kg, vertically mounted, spinning steel blade similar in design to The Alien and robot itself was refered to as an "electric paddywagon" by Jonathan Pearce. It was teamed by the Peter family who also entered Flirty Skirty and Miss Ile. However it is unknown if they were just representing the Police or they are actually Police Officers, although it is stated that Albert Peter is a senior crime officer. Shockwave lost its only battle after falling down the pit.

Robot History

Extreme 1

Albert Peter: "Our robot is so dangerous, so devious, so down right deadly, it's almost criminal, that's why we have to keep it locked up in a cell, isn't that right son?"

Richard Peter: "That's right Dad and as the driver, I'm about to go down for dangerous driving."

— The team's introduction

Shockwave started by charging and missing Sub-Version. It then tried to get its weapon into position, but just spun around instead. All three robots met near a CPZ and rammed into each other, but Anvil was too low for Shockwave's weapon to cause any damage. After some more shoving around, Sub-Version activated the Pit. As it descended Shockwave was pushing Anvil near it and got stuck on the lip of the pit, gradually slipping in until Anvil and Sub-Version finished it off, sending the Police out of the competiton.
