:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie frenzy.png|thumb|300px|"They are all laser-guided and I get CRAZY if you touch them!"]]

'''Frenzy''' is small, sneaky and... likes to keep up on current events. He's a hyper-articulated, hyper-''active'', sentient evil alien shape-changing robot from outer space that turns into various small electronics devices, depending on the situation at hand, and has a penchant for pantsing people. But he doesn't shrink ([[All Spark|because that would be unrealistic]]), so he's quite a good contortionist. He's not that tough without his head though, and he loses it frequently. In short, he's a creepy little abomination, with an irritating habit of reading over people's shoulders and jibbering at lightning speeds in [[Cybertronian languages|his own tongue]] (not that we could understand him if he was talking slowly, but you get the idea).

He is neither [[FIBRIR|red nor blue]]. Despite being a Decepticon, his optics are blue, rather than being red. So maybe, FIBRIR can still be employed: Frenzy('s eyes) Is Blue, Rest Is Red

== Fiction ==

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' novel===
Frenzy is the smallest member of the [[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]' crew. He likes to sneak-attack from behind Autobots while they're concentrating on his larger teammates. He doesn't fare well in this particular battle but is presumably repaired at some future point.

===Transformers the Game===
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Frenzy was seen digging through the mangled and twitching chassis of a dead Autobot. It's unlikely he was digging through it to find the All Spark. Megatron nearly crushed him under his foot. It is entirely possible that he was annoyed with Frenzy.

Frenzy arrived in Tranquility to meet up with [[Barricade]] possessing information that Starscream said was vital. When Barricade attempted to link up with him, he discovered that Frenzy had been captured by [[Sector Seven|some armed humans]]. Frenzy was held captive in a small SUV (which seemed virtually indestructible) but Barricade eventually rescued him. Barricade later relayed to Starscream that Frenzy had discovered a lead on the All Spark and Megatron...an artifact in the possession of a human named Sam.

Later, he served as Starscream's intelligence liason when the Decepticon's Acting-Commander was searching for [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], jabbering away in his own language (A translation is NOT subtitled directly, with Frenzy being the only character to NOT speak English in the game. He just wants to be different...or annoying).

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Reno Wilson]] (English)

[[Image:Readingisfundamental.jpg|left|thumb|This is the only newspaper in the country that is not afraid to tell the truth: that everything is just fine.]]

A skittering little spaz, Frenzy smuggled himself aboard [[Air Force One]] disguised as a CD player boom-box. He made his way to the lower decks, carried by an [[Air Force One attendant|unsuspecting flight attendant]] who was on a vital mission to the storage area to "rustle up some Ding-Dongs" for the [[President of the United States#Transformers (2007)|President]]. Once left alone, he got into the server area, and began to work his magic, simultaneously hack the national database and upload a virus, re-attempting the hack that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] had tried at the [[SOCCENT Base]] in [[Qatar]] earlier. This attempt was discovered by government agent [[Maggie Madsen]], and the defense network was shut down in order to halt the hack. Frenzy was so pissed he slammed his head into the screen, but he got the virus uploaded, which would later shut down global communications, and got a little bit of info on what he was looking for.

[[Image:Frenzy armed.JPG|thumb|250px|Not someone you'd want to meet in a dark ally...or a well lit one, for that matter.]]
He was discovered by Secret Service agents, who he quickly dispatched with his machineguns and disc-blade launcher before hiding away in boombox form again. When Air Force One landed, he escaped through the landing gear, slipping into the awaiting Decepticon [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] (real good job ekkoing an eye out, Secret Service). After flipping the military the bird and bitching about how the "stupid insects" shot at him, he informed Barricade of his new discovery: [[Archibald Witwicky|the Witwicky man]] who had suspiciously displayed knowledge of Cybetronian writing. After a quick web-search using Barricade's on-board police department laptop, Frenzy determined their next target... a human called "[[Sam Witwicky|LadiesMan217]]".

When Barricade was forced to go to robot mode in order to handle [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he released Frenzy to chase the humans the [[Autobot]] was guarding. Frenzy managed to tackle his primary target and even managed to get his pants off him (kinky!), but [[Mikaela Banes|the female human]] attacked him with a power saw she'd found and cut his head off. To add insult to injury, ladiesman217 punted the Decepticon's head away. It was actually to Frenzy's benefit, however, as he landed not too far from the female's purse, which had spilled when Bumblebee had dumped them out earlier. Still alive and ambulatory despite losing most of his body mass, he speared and scanned the female's cell phone, changed his form to match it, and hid out in her purse.

Frenzy stayed hidden, watching the activities of the humans, and their meeting with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the Autobots. Taken to ladiesman217's house, Frenzy poked his head out to better observe, but was frightened by some [[wikipedia:Goldfish|aquatic lifeforms]] ladiesman217 had. Frenzy poked one of his optics out when the glasses were discovered, but remained hidden during the subsequent encounter with [[Sector Seven]]. Arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Frenzy slipped away... and fell off the side of the dam, landing painfully at the bottom. This did allow him to sneak into the secret Sector Seven operations hangar deep within the dam, where both the [[All Spark]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had been kept for nearly a hundred years. Tapping into the All Spark's power, he restored his body, then sent a message to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were here. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy set about the task of releasing his master. He went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed, while Starscream destroyed the powerlines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.

As Megatron and Starscream went to assist the rest of the Decepticons in securing the All Spark, Frenzy remained at the dam to tie up any loose ends. When [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], Maggie and [[Glen Whitmann]] ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy made it into the room via the air ducts, and sent a series of flying blades at the humans. One, however, ricocheted madly across the room, and took out most of Frenzy's head. With a muttered "oh shit", Frenzy collapsed.

:''('''Note''': How fatal this actually ''was'' to Frenzy is up for debate. Though presumably his remains would have been gathered up by remaining Sector Seven personnel and disposed of with the other defeated Decepticons, he is not seen again after the storeroom attack. Creepy little bastard could still be out there with the other un-accounted-for Decepticons Barricade and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], skittering away like mad.)''

== Toys ==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-02'''
[[Image:Movie_DeluxeBarricade_toy.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Yeah, I'm really this size. Seriously.]]

: Included with the larger Deluxe Barricade is a very out-of-[[scale]] Frenzy (putting him somewhere around 7 feet tall) that folds up to become the larger 'Con's grill in both vehicle and robot mode. It is barely poseable and falls over as easily as Generation 1 [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].
{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe Multi-pack, 2007)

: This Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] deluxe package comes with an unaltered Bumblebee, Barricade and, by extension, Frenzy.

*'''Recon Barricade''' (Deluxe, 2007)

:This Frenzy is [[FIBRIR|blue!]] Coming with the Barricade [[redeco]], Frenzy similarly gets a new color scheme.

*'''Disc Launch Decepticon Frenzy''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_FAB_Frenzy.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Stupid insects made me look fat.]]

: Like most of the [[Fast Action Battler]] toys, this one is fairly inaccurate to the CGI model due to actually having to turn ''into'' something (which the CGI model was not designed to do). It does, however, feature a launching disk that ejects from its chest as a pressure-launched projectile. This version of Frenzy transforms into a two-speaker stereo CD/cassette/radio. It is completely off-model to the movie radio, which is probably due to the figure having been designed before the character's final alt mode was determined.

{{-}}

*'''Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_RobotReplica_Frenzy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|STOP, in the name of love. Or I'll shoot you!]]

: The [[Robot Replicas]] non-Transforming action figure of Frenzy is considerably closer to the movie's CGI model, even having blue optics rather than the red of most of his other toys. His left forearm can be replaced with an alternate forearm in its machinegun configuration.

: Frenzy is unique among the Robot Replicas in a couple of ways. First, he is the only one that does ''not'' use the [[Revoltech]]-style joints, owing likely to the thinness of his limbs. Secondly, he is the only one with an "action feature" gimmick of sorts; he comes with a CD-blade accessory that stores in his chest, and pushing a button on his back pops it out. The disc does not shoot very far though, unless you really give the button a firm, swift whack, and even then, you're not gonna get much airtime on it.

{{-}}

*'''First Encounter''' (Screen Battles, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_ScreenBattles_SamMikaelaFrenzy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I just want some PANTS. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!...and maybe your blood, but mostly the PANTS!]]

: This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure, but the Frenzy accessory has been cast in black plastic to better blend in with Barricade's chest. The pack also comes with unposable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, a rather in-scale Frenzy menacing Sam, and Mikaela holding the power saw she uses to attack Frenzy. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee.

==Merchandise==
*'''Autobot Jazz vs Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Heroes, 2007)

: Released with ''[[Robot Heroes]]'' [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], this version of Frenzy is the most adorably goofy razor blade death robot you ever saw.

==Trivia==
* Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie whose whole robot mode was created as a real physical puppet for filming, used in certain shots aboard Air Force One. (They did make the lower half of frozen Megatron as a set piece, plus [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok's]] head and tail, but that's not quite the same thing.) He and Bumblebee are the only Transformers in the film to have full-body robot mode props.

* Extra pieces of the Frenzy puppet, specifically some fingers, were used to make the charred prop of the "dead" [[Nokia robot]].

* Along those lines, Frenzy's robot mode was designed without a ''specific'' alternate mode in mind. It was known he was going to be a boom-box, but the designers had to produce a robot mode before the make/model was finalized.

[[Image:Frenzystereo.jpg|right|thumb|150px|According to user reviews, Frenzy is terrible for XM.]]

* Frenzy transforms into a real on-the-market [http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5155669 GPX portable stereo]... in the movie, at least. You know you want one. (Although, his [[Fast Action Battler]] toy does not, and he's depicted in some storybooks as a more boxy made-up model.)

* According to his profile card, Frenzy weighs 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds). How much of that mass would be discernible to a human lifting his stereo mode remains unclear. However, a human did indeed carry his stereo mode without much effort in the movie.

* Frenzy (or at very least, a robot who looked ''just'' like him) was most certainly ''not'' in a cage in the back of the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. You were seeing things!; It was swamp gas!; No wait!, a weather balloon. But definitely ''not'' a robot alien from outer space!

* The hardcover Movie Guide written by [[Simon Furman]] describes Frenzy as "quiet" and "not very talkative". Wonder what his definition of "chatty" is?
[[Image:Frenzy com glu.png|thumb|130px|Reach out and touch someone...I wouldn't]]
* Frenzy is the only Decepticon with blue optic lighting, though most of his released toys have them painted red. It's possible this was a late-ish change, as even the [[Transformers (Glu)|mobile game]] has him sporting red optics. Thanks for [[FIBRIR|continuing the debate]], [[Michael Bay]]!

* Despite the 'no size changing' rule for the movie, Frenzy does indeed change size when he takes the form of the way-too-expensive-for-a-girl-with-a-criminal-record Nokia 8800 Sirocco. Although this may be an optical illusion due to no part of Frenzy's body being designed to ACTUALLY change into something, and it was just his head, too.

Rumble (G1)

2007-10-24T21:15:56Z

81.247.180.193: /* Animated continuity */

{{disambig2|the Generation 1 Mini-Cassette|the ''Universe'' Decepticon|Rumble (Universe)}}
:''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.
{{quote|If on Decepticon turf you happen to tumble, look out, robot, 'cause here comes Rumble!|Rumble, thinking he's funny|[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]}}

''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.

===Attacktix===
*'''Rumble'''

{{-}}

==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'''".

Talk:Mirage (G1)

2007-10-24T15:20:25Z

81.247.180.193: /* Binaltech's bio? */

Does any one know why Mirage's RM release ic called "Rijie"? I had heard it involved a dispite with the owner of the team the racer G1 Mirage was based on, but has this been confirmed? --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 20:41, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Mirage's original name was "Ligier", right? Ligier was either the manufacturer or the sponsor of the original car type, yeah, so they went with "Rijie", which might as well be "Ligier" in Japanese, it just looks retarded in English. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 00:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Two things - first, the justification for the "sounds like" change. While Mirage does sound something like Bing Crosby, he also sounds like Dean Martin, and the fact that Welker presumably based the voice on a brief character sketch like "irresponsible playboy" means that's almost certainly what he intended. Someone should ask him someday.

Second, curiously enough, RM Mirage's instructions explicitly call him "Ligier" in English, even though the box calls him "Rijie".
-[[User:LV|LV]] 00:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I shall just point out that the new "animated series" text was copied over by the anonymous user in question from Wikipedia, but I wrote it (well, apart from that gubbins about Mirage's alleged role in season 3 and his fragile toy), so I'm savvy with it being up 'ere. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
