See... The original Shockwave had been through A LOT in his lifetime - after all, he used to be a senator, then he was forced to undergo surgeries that removed both his emotions (Shadowplay) and his hands and face (Empurata).
The duplication procedure used to make the Seeker drones drew both from the current physical form of the Transformer that was the template AND the upgrades that had been done to it... and while the system recognized the Empurata as an "upgrade" and gave his clone the same distinct faceless, handless form, it did NOT recognize the Shadowplay surgery as an "ugrade", so it restored a version of Shockwave's original personality to this new clone.
That left the cold, calculating unfeeling Shockwave with a very, very... EMOTIONAL... duplicate of himself. One with all the smarts of the genius scientist, but the brains of a politician. One that refused to follow orders, especially from what he viewed as an inferior predecessor
