The '''Galva-Matrix''' is a crystal sphere centered in the chest of the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Emperor of Destruction]], [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]]. It contains Galvatron's [[spark]], his lifeforce. The Galva-matrix is capable of absorbing [[Angolmois]] energy, amping Galvatron's power, and is bonded with the artificial planet [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]].

The Galva-Matrix is what connected Galvatron to the Nemesis and gave him power over the warship. After the Nemesis had absorbed all the Angolmois energy on [[Gaia]], Galvatron channeled the Angolmois into his body using his Galva-Matrix. It gave Galvatron incredible strength and caused him to grow to a towering height. [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Lio Junior]] combined into the Lengendary Green Lion through their [[Leadership Matrix|Energon Matrices]] and used their combined might to siphon off the Angolmois within Galvatron and eject it into deep space within capsules.

Galvatron, not willing to say die, played his final card. He used his Galva-Matrix to set the Nemesis to explode. The Legendary Green Lion then engaged Galvatron in a final battle to which they seemed equally matched. Then, Lio Convoy and Lio Junior separated, disorienting Galvatron for a brief instant, allowing Lio Convoy to stab his Lio-Claw directly through Galvatron's Galva-Matrix, shattering the crystal and killing Galvatron. Then the Nemesis blew up. ''Dammit.''

Rumble (G1)

:''Rumble is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:RumbleG1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Ready to shake, break, rattle and QUAKE!]]

The label 'brat punk' isn't completely inaccurate. '''Rumble''' is your basic street punk. Small, but always acting tough as a cover. Not exactly the most subtle of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s [[Mini-Cassette|spies]], but what he lacks in descretion, he compensates by being the brawler of the group. Quick tempered and of a generally mean disposition, he follows [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] eagerly. Rumble has a tendency to toss out a taunting rhyme at his enemies and is, according to [[Brawn]], a "jerk".

As the Decepticon demolitions expert, Rumble loves nothing more than to break things apart. His arms can transform into powerful piledrivers that, when pounded against the ground, can cause earthquakes, usually with fissures. He can be easily overpowered in a one-on-one match, though the real challenge, however, is actually getting to him first.

''Italian name:'' '''Tremor'''<br>
''Hungarian name'': '''Görgető''' (Trundler)

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
''(Events in italics occur in UK-only stories.)''

Rumble's achievements in the comic amounted to not being able to see humans because they were too small, and getting his chassis handed to him by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. It took him a very long time to get better.

===Animated continuity===
[[Image:Rumble.jpg|thumb|left|210px|I thought it was supposed to be [[FIBRIR|red or blue,]]Why AM I PURPLE?!?!]]
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] (English), [[Keiichi Nanba]] (Japanese -- See note below.)

Rumble was one of the original Decepticon raiding party that crashed into Earth four million years ago aboard the [[Ark]]. Reawakened in 1984, he was reformatted into an audio cassette that fit snugly into Soundwave's chest compartment. Despite his small size (he was usually shown to be about the height of a tall human), he seemed to be on equal footing with most other Decepticons. No doubt this was due to his seismic power, which was used quite often (including once by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] [[Heavy Metal War|when he had borrowed]] Rumble's [[power chip rectifier]]). Even without the use of his seismic attacks, Rumble would often go head to head with full sized Autobots, even having a (short-lived, at least) rivalry with the Autobot [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]. A common Decepticon tactic was to use Rumble to use his earth-shaking abilities to agitate hydroelectric power sources, as the Decepticons did at [[Sherman Dam]] and [[Great Falls]].

Assisted by his diminutive stature, Rumble was also responsible for stealing some of the cars that would later become the [[Stunticon|Stunticons]].

Rumble was effectively doubled by his bodytype-brother [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]. Both had identical voices, personalities and abilities, though Rumble appeared alone more often than not.

''Fairly prominent in Seasons One and Two, his appearances dwindled after the start of Season Three.''

''(In the Japanese dub, the lesser-seen red Decepticon cassette, [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], was indicated to be Rumble to more accurately reflect his toy colors.)''

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Rumble'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''17''', '''D-102'''
: Rumble was part of the first wave of Transformers toys releaed in 1984. Using the same mold as a Microchange Microcassette Robo Micro, he was packaged with [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] by Hasbro in 1984-1986, and with [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] by Takara from 1985-1986, and by himself in 1987.

===Generation 2 (unreleased)===
* "Rumble"
: Part of the canceled 4th wave of [[Go-Bots]], Rumble would have been either a pizza delivery car or a race car with a pizza-oriented sponsor. Although he was never officially named in any known documents, his name is on the front bumper.
:This mold was redecoed into RID [[Side Swipe (RID)]] and ''[[Universe]]'' [[Bluestreak|Silverstreak]].

===Alternators===
* '''Rumble''' (Alternator, 2006)
:''Alternator ID number:'' '''24''' (misprint, should be 25)

[[Image:AltRumble.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Nothing says "rebellious" like a Honda Civic!]]

: For ''[[Alternators]]'', Rumble transforms into a 1:24-scale licensed 2006 Honda Civic Si, with opening doors, hood, etc. Additionally, instead of traditional hands, Rumble features spring-loaded piledrivers that release from his arms. Accessories include two back-mounted weapons, one of which doubles as his engine in car mode and the other which fits into his trunk.

:Originally intended for normal retail release in the US, he and wave-mate [[Ravage]] got relegated to being Wal-Mart [[exclusive]]s, released in late March of 2007. Both were available at normal retail in various European markets. He and Ravage are notable for being the first Decepticon Alternators to be entirely new molds, rather than an Autobot mold reworked to be someone else. They are also notable for being the final ''Alternators'' toys to be sold at retail.

: Rumble's seats are mis-assembled, keeping them from reclining completely in car mode. To fix this, unscrew each seat from the bottom of the car, swap them, and then rescrew.

==Trivia==

*On the G1 TV series, Rumble was represented with the colors of [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]'s toy - that is, dark and medium blue, rather than red and black (and vice versa). This led to some confusion (and later, controversy) amongst fans. (See [[RIBFIR]].)
* In recent years, toys sporting the name "Rumble" require an additional "Decepticon" prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name "'''Decepticon Rumble'''".
