Shockwave then reigned as the uncontested leader for some time, until he was eventually bested in a battle in Earth's orbit by Fortress Maximus. However, after successfully destroying Optimus Prime, Megatron, suffering from an increasing paranoia that the Autobot leader still lived, blew up the Decepticon Space Bridge while still on it himself. When Prime was freed, he knocked Shockwave out of commission for several months, following which Shockwave and Megatron reluctantly agreed to a joint leadership of the Decepticons.
