Once Megatron arrived, Shockwave began to explain.
“There was a vat of acid placed precariously on one of the lab tables. In following Kenny, I must have knocked the table and that must have pushed the vat off. It spilled onto him and now there is nothing left.”
He gestured to the hole in the ground.

Shockwave had worked in labs more confined than this for eons.
“You’re telling me that you killed my Head Engineer, days after being told to help him learn his post!?”
