Transformers Armada

In Transformers Armada, Tidal Wave was a gigantic Transformer who had won a massive victory for the Decepticons on the planet Devola before being summoned to Earth by Thrust. Possessing great strength and massive size, his brain power was much less pronounced, and was known for droningly repeating his own name, usually in the form of "Tidal Wave... Tidal Wave...", and referring to himself in the 3rd person. He had the ability to combine with Megatron (known as "Burning Megatron"), and could seperate into three smaller ships called "the Dark Fleet." His main alternate mode was a massive aircraft carrier.

Transformers Energon

By the time of Transformers Energon, Tidal Wave and numerous other Decepticons had allied with the Autobots. Possessing a new green and white paint job, he was the guardian of the Asteroid City Energon mine, until it was attacked by the Terrorcons. He was brought to Scorponok and Alpha Q, and was persuaded to join them under the false pretense that they were working to ressurect Megatron. However, this would prove to be a mistake, and Megatron returned to life on his own, and earned Tidal Wave's loyalty, as well as that of Cyclonus and Demolishor - both of them Megatron's minions and Tidal Wave's comrades in Armada. During the attack on the Desert City Energon mine, Tidal Wave mistakenly grabbed an Energon star, resulting in lightning-like burns covering his entire body.

In battle, Tidal Wave was heavily damaged as a result of Shockblast's recklessness, and thus, he was reformatted by Megatron into Mirage. He now had a smaller, sleeker, speed-boat form, a sharp contrast to his previous form. Shockwave (Laserwave in Japan) is a Decepticon in the fictional Transformers Universe. ...

Mirage remained on Megatron's side until the end. By the final arc of the series, he seemed to have a homosexual fixation on his leader (though one might argue how a machine could have sexual orientation), and was known for making ambiguous statements about his affection for Megatron. This devotion would carry on to the end of the series, where Mirage flew into the Energon sun that had resulted in his leader's demise, all out of a feeling of extreme loyalty to his master - making him a tragic example for those who swore all-encompassing loyalty to Megatron.
