The British had the earthquake bomb, the Germans; the V-2 rocket. What types of "wonder weapons" did the Soviets have during WWII?

I would not consider the V-2 a wonder Wepon. It was a failure and a waste of resources. The Tallboy and Grand Slam Earthquake bombs did actually did what they where supposed to do-breach Submarine pens and shatter Viaducts. In fact, it was a Tallboy that sank the German battleship "Tirpitz".

I can't think of a single "wonder weapon" in teh soviet Arsenal. The Soviets had some good weapons (a few tank designs come to mind), but their economy didn't really lend itself to "wonder weapons". The soviets mostly relied on the enormous size of the Soviet Union and their massive numbers.

Not too sure about WWII, but they did have this thing during the Cold War: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/1994/rippergun2cs2.jpg http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=109590 Wouldn't call it a superweapon, but it's still pretty beastly.
