Seriously Shockwave. Guns are for shooting, hands are for sciencing.

erm what about the thumb?
It's always made me wonder how efficient a bot with one hand could be at performing such finesse-requiring tasks, like scientific experiments - I think the FoC Shockwave handled it best but your approach works pretty damn well too dude, even if he does have an opposable thumb on the wrong side of a hand. :p:cool:
The whole Shockwave as a scientist thing is relatively new. He was never a scientist in G1; in the G1 comics he was a Military Commander (as per his tech specs bio), and in the G1 cartoon he was a Steward.
Presumably, Cybertronian scientific equipment is all able to be controlled via their equivalent of WiFi, making physical interaction unnecessary most of the time.
And on the overthinking front, we've seen various characters able to manipulate forcefields - why not have a short-range version of that instead of being limited to two relatively clumsy hands?
