Take a Look at Shockwave, the Evil Spock of Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Sure, Megatron's the supreme villain of the Transformers universe, but in Transformers: Dark of the Moon his infamously cold, calculating fellow Decepticon Shockwave gets a turn in the spotlight. Starting with this newly-released character banner, in which Shockwave -- often described as what Star Trek's Spock might be like in evil alien robot form -- poses while laying waste to an entire city block.
In addition to his Vulcan-like detachment, Shockwave is known for a few other characteristics within the Transformers universe, the first thing being that he's the robot who turns into a gun. Not a car, not a semi-truck -- a giant space gun.
Perhaps because of these traits, he was also named one of the 12 most ridiculous Transformers of all time, compared to the socially-awkward loser kid who you were always stuck with on the playground. (He also only has one eye. What a freakazoid.) Well, just see if those mean kids are still laughing at the end of Dark of the Moon!

The author of that linked list appears to not have much info on Transformers to begin with.
Shockwave's personality is most known from the Marvel comics, which are never mentioned to exist in that article.
That said, I hope this movie doesn't suck as badly as the first two.
quite a ride we have here beware mr.manon sends his regards
