#like in issue 3 page 23 you see his silhouette

Something that's been stewing in my crusty little brain lately is the fact that aligned continuity shockwave made clones of himself.

I am not joking.

Basically in rage of the dinobots, the dinobots (and ultra magnus) killed shockwave, but then a hologram of shockwave appears and he's kinda like lol nice try but actually I have a bunch of avatars that help me with my job. Also they're all around cybertron. Byeeee.

Do you realize how confusing this is? I'm pretty sure he doesn't control his clones or anything, but do the clones know they are clones? Did any of them die during the war and when the autobots return they just find a couple of dead shockwaves scattered? If the clones didn't know they were clones, is it possible that one of the clones ended up on the nemesis and the shockwave on tfp was actually a clone? Even if they knew were clones, was it a shockwave clone in tfp? what are the clones working on? Where the hell is the actual shockwave? Did any of them survive the war and, y'know, the fact that dark energon was yeeted on the cybertron? Did literally anyone know about this other than dinobots and ultra magnus? Can you imagine just being like damn shockwave sure gets around cybertron quickly and someone else goes "yup having clones sure makes it a lot easier to manage a planet"

I have plenty of more "what ifs" but I'm just gonna end this here. I think (realistically) a lot of the clones are probably dead, or maybe all, and that was the original shockwave on tfp.
