Frenzy (G1)

:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Frenzyhahaha.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Frenzy is blue, but the sound effect's still confused.]]

For '''Frenzy''' it's not about any "Decepticon cause," it's not about any quantifiable cause, or goal, or purpose at all. It's about violence, fear, destruction, and mayhem. Frenzy lives to fight. He lusts to destroy with an intensity that borders on insanity. War is his fuel, his oxygen. Despite his small stature he'll lead a charge into battle against robots many times his size, screaming for destruction with every microchip of his being. This single-minded obsession makes him a hard bot to associate with personally, but a frightening asset on the battlefield.

Frenzy's manic attack style and his "battle cry" (a sonic attack produced by special drums in his torso that can severely disrupt electrical flows, resulting in all sorts of mechanical malfunctions and balance issues) make him difficult to get close to in combat, but cool and measured reaction to his wild ragings is usually the most effective strategy.

''Italian name:'' '''Tartar'''<br>

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Animated continuity===
[[Image:Frenzy.jpg|right|thumb|Look! I'm red!]]
:''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Ken Shiroyama]] (Japan-See note) [[Katsumi Suzuki]] ("Attack of the Autobots" and "Day of the Machines" only)

''(Note: In the Japanese dub of the Transformers, Frenzy was portrayed as the more frequently seen blue cassette to more accurately reflect the toy colors.)''
Frenzy did very little in the cartoon, except accompany Rumble on occasion. He also traded in his "battle cry" for a pair of piledrivers exactly like Rumble's. He also talked practically the same way.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Frenzy''' (Decepticon Cassette, 1984/1986/1987)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''18''', '''D-58''', '''D-103'''
:The Transformer known as Frenzy was created by adding a Decepticon sigil to the blue version of [[Takara]]'s ''[[Microchange]]'' "MC-01 Micross". For the Japanese market, Frenzy was packaged individually, numbered as "'''18'''". He was later renumbered as "'''D-58'''" during ''[[Scramble City]]'' and again as "'''D-103'''" for his release during ''[[Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]]''. The [[Hasbro]] version of Frenzy was available in 1984 and 1985 in a two-pack with [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]. For 1986, his packmate was changed to [[Ratbat]], and for some of the Frenzy/Ratbat sets the weapons were gold chrome colored, changed from the silver chrome used previously. The 1986 release of Frenzy also used black plastic for his toes instead of diecast metal, and the stickers on his shins were removed.

:His mold was also used to create [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]].

===Generation 2===
* '''Frenzy''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
:Generation 2 saw the return of Frenzy as a [[redeco]] of the [[Go-Bot]] [[Blowout]] in purple and grey.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed for ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Hot Shot (RID)|Hot Shot]].

==Trivia==

[[Image:Frenzyname.jpg|right|thumb|Boy, times change.]]

*The US Cartoon accidentally reversed the colors of the two Decepticon cassettes, portraying Rumble as being blue and Frenzy red. (See [[FIBRIR]])

*Sunbow casting documents indicate that "Frenzy" was originally considered as a name for the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]], [[Rippersnapper]], but was dropped - presumably because that name was already in use.

Siren (G1)

{{disambig2|Siren the [[Headmaster]]|Sireen the [[Micromaster]]|Sireen}}

:''Siren is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation One]] continuity family.''

'''Siren''''s voice modulator goes to eleven - and stays there. Thanks to his ear-splitting upbringing in the [[Sonic Canyons]], he operates at full volume all the time. While this may annoy his pals [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and [[Hosehead]], it drives his partner [[Quig]] nuts. Eventually, Quig's efforts to teach Siren about the concept of an 'indoor voice' may succeed, but for now Siren doesn't really listen to him - either because he can't hear him, or because he doesn't ''want'' to.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

''(Events from the UK-only comics are in italics.)''

''Siren 'assisted' Nightbeat investigate the death of [[Playback]], narrowly avoid death at the hands of [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] in the process. It was here that the two met Hosehead and made the partnership a trio.''

The three would later take a journey to [[Pz-Zazz]] in search of the lost [[Creation Matrix]].

===Generation 1===

* '''Siren''' with '''Quig''' (Hasbro, 1988)
:Siren transforms into a Mazda RX-7 with "Fire chief" deco. The same mold was used for [[Shūta Gō]].

==Trivia==
*Siren was originally conceived as either an upgrade or homage to [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]<ref>[[Transformers Generations Deluxe]], p108</ref>. While the robot mode was largely blue unlike Red Alert, it featured a similar head to the early Autobot. The car mode featured a near carbon copy of Red Alert's paint scheme. The Red Alert references were dropped early in the design process.

*Not once in the original comic series is Siren shown to be a Headmaster.

Nightbeat (G1)

:''Nightbeat is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation One]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Nightbeatg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|As soon as I finish this jaunty Irish jig, you're under arrest.]]

'''Nightbeat''', a self-declared detective, loves mystery, suspense, and conspiracy. When Nightbeat is on the trail for clues, nothing else matters. This blindsidedness has famously gotten him into trouble over his head more times than he can count. Yet in the face of adversity, he remains cool, confident, and even irreverent. He has insulted creatures many times his size and commited huge faux pas to uncover the truth. It is not so much that Nightbeat is brave, but more that the thrill of the hunt has him -- and he will not be denied.

Nightbeat has a [[Headmaster]] partner, [[Muzzle_(G1)|Muzzle]], who he gets along ''amazingly'' well with. The two seem to have been of one mind even before they were [[Binary bonding|binary bond]]ed.

:''French-Canadian name'': '''Veillure'''

==Fiction==

[[Image:NightbeatTV.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Feel the beat of the rhythm of the Nightbeat.]]

While being driven by Muzzle on the surface of an unidentified planet (with [[Siren]] and [[Hosehead]] at his sides), Nightbeat transformed into robot mode. Shortly thereafter, three [[Decepticon]] Headmasters burst through a wall, and Nightbeat engaged [[Horri-Bull]] in battle.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

===IDW comics continuity===
Nightbeat, passing the time by trying to answer the mystery of the first [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], was lured into an apparent trap on [[Gorlan Prime]]. He found a strange dimensional portal deep beneath the world, but got captured by a unknown villain before he could tell anyone. They put something in his head, erased his memory, and then sent him back out into space. Shortly thereafter he was contacted by Optimus Prime and ordered to head for Earth. His monitors make Optimus Prime look funny.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Nightbeat w/ Muzzle''' (Headmaster, 1988)

: Nightbeat transforms into a blue Porsche. He shares a mold with the Japanese [[Headmaster Junior]] [[Minerva|Minerva]].

==Trivia==
* In the Marvel comics, Nightbeat and Siren's head designs were inexplicably switched, which explains Nightbeat's goggles and Siren's lack of goggles in their appearances.
