Ivan Von Shellshocktonberg[source?] (better known by his DreadZone name as ShellShock) was a robot that specialized in ammunition. He was one of the four Exterminator members. His brain was destroyed by a cruise missile during the Obani Moon wars, and was replaced with a coffee machine's AI chip. As a result, Shellshock was immune to pain (but not damage) and made a great cappuccino. He was Insomniac Games' parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was very large and muscular, had a plethora of weapons, talked with an extremely distinct Austrian accent, and used insults such as "girly men" and "sissies" on almost everybody. His best friend was Reactor, whom he carpooled with.
In the events of Ratchet: Deadlocked, Shellshock killed the Omega Twins. Then, he began to stalk Ratchet on planet Kronos, before fleeing to the Dark Cathedral, where the Lombax defeated him. This decisive battle made Gleeman Vox and Ratchet's other critics realize that they had severely underestimated Ratchet's potential at DreadZone.
