Sureshock
Encyclopedia
Sureshock is the name of several fictional characters from the various Transformers universes
.
.
More than anything else, Sureshock represents individuality. She prides herself on being a free thinker, and urges others - especially her human friend Alexis, whom she has very high hopes for - to do the same. This independent streak sometimes puts her at odds with the team-orientated High Wire, but the two usually use their differences to learn from each other and grow even stronger, individually and as teammmates. Sureshock doesn't believe in going against the greain for its own sake; instead, she just believes in getting all the facts and making your own decisions rather than allowing someone to do it for you. She has a deep empathy for all living things and is willing to fight for their freedom, and this sense of positive activism seems to be rubbing off on Alexis as well.
Sureshock is highly intelligent and agile, but lacks physical strength and resistance to damage. She is an excellent decision-maker, with an uncanny ability to sift through facts from different sources to reach the best objective conclusion. Her vehicle mode is the fastest of the trio except when Grindor uses his booster jets.
Sureshock's physical abilities are weak, but she makes up for it by being fast and daring when pressed into combat.
They seem to have eventually drifted apart, as Sureshock spent much of her time around Kicker Jones in the Energon years in her new upgraded all-terrain vehicle form. She first appeared in episode #3, called "Scorponok" and last appeared in episode #4, called "Megatron's Sword."
Although Sureshock did not appear in the original Galaxy Force animated series, a small cameo was added to the final episode of the English translation, Transformers: Cybertron. In the episode "Beginning" the Autobots sent their ships out for the Space Bridge project, and adult Alexis, Carlos and Rad
were seen waving goodbuy to the Autobot ships, with the image of the Armada Street Action Team behind them.
Sureshock appeared among the Mini-Cons in issue #18 of the Transformers: Armada comic book who aided Over-Run using the Mini-Con Matrix in the defeat of Unicron.
