You have to be the ultimate D&D AND Transformers nerd to get the joke, though...
Of all Transformers, I think Shockwave got the best entrance int he Marvel comics - easily icing all the Autobots with one shot right after they were victorious!
Here, Shocky uses his eye rays to put them down: Mirage gets turned to stone, Prime gets a Finger of Death (even though he most likely made the saving throw, that 25 HP damage did him in, after all, Megatron just shot his arm off), Huffer gets charmed, Ironhide desintegrated and Blue Streak gets a "Cause serious wounds" in the face. Zoinks. Even in the Forgotten Realms, Shockwave is one powerfull Decepticon!
