Most of '''Frenzy'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys are blue, but this is not a hard and fast rule.

==Toys==
===The Transformers===
[[File:G1toy frenzy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Cartoon-accurate or not, you sure weren't buying the two-pack for this guy.]]
*'''Frenzy / Laserbeak''' (Mini-Cassette 2-pack, 1984-1985)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Thruster Guns" (left & right)

: Beginning life as a ''[[Micro Change]]'' "Micro Cassette Robo Micross", Frenzy was part of the first wave of Transformers toys released in 1984. He transforms into a blue microcassette that can fit into the tape doors of the [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys|Blaster]] toys, and is armed with two silver chromed "Thruster Guns" that can either plug into the cassette spool holes on his back or slot onto his arms. Sold in a two-pack with [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys|Laserbeak]], Frenzy was originally released with a Decepticon insignia sticker on his stomach, which was removed in 1985 in favor of a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] on his cassette mode front.

:This [[mold]] was redecoed to create the simultaneously-available [[Rumble (G1)/toys|Rumble]], as well as [[Enemy (G1)|Enemy]]. It can also be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[FIRRIB|G1 cartoon Rumble]] (which obviously also applies to many of the following toys, so we won't repeat ourselves).

* '''Frenzy''' (Cassettron, 1985/1986/1987)
** ''ID number:'' '''18''' (1985), '''D-58''' (1986), '''D-103''' (1987)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Thruster Guns" (left & right), cassette case

: 1985 saw [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release Frenzy in Japan, all on his lonesome. Like all his cassette contemporaries, he was packaged in a small box and came with a clear tape case he could be stored in. He was still available in 1986, this time on a blister card with a new ID number, golden weapons (see below), and without his case, and under the ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (toyline)|Headmasters]]'' banner in 1987, with his original packaging and case reinstated and with yet another ID number.

* '''Grimlock vs Soundwave''' (giftset, 1985)
** ''ID number:'' '''VSY'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Thruster Guns" (left & right), cassette case
:Frenzy was included as part of a "versus" giftset that squared Soundwave off against [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]]. The set also included an audio cassette, and has become the rarest of the three "VS" sets Takara produced.

*'''Frenzy & Ratbat''' (Mini-Cassette 2-pack, 1986/1987)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Thruster Guns" (left & right)

: In 1986, when Hasbro released their sole new cassette for the year, [[Ratbat (G1)/toys|Ratbat]], they needed another cassette to package him with. To this end, Laserbeak was retired from the toy store shelf, and Frenzy became Ratbat's pack-in partner. As a result, Frenzy holds the distinction of being the Generation 1 figure to last the longest during the toyline's original run, the only 1984 figure still available in 1987. Of course, this also meant that people who wanted both Laserbeak and Ratbat had to buy Frenzy twice.

:Frenzy and Ratbat's weapons were available in both the original silver and new golden chrome colors; as Ratbat was depicted with golden weapons in-fiction, this tends to be the color most associated with the set. Late in 1986, Frenzy was one of several figures who underwent some change in materials; his die-cast metal toes and shoulder hinges were replaced with black plastic, as were his light blue thighs, and the stickers on his thighs and shins were removed.

===Generation 2===
[[File:G2toy gobot frenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Frenzy''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

: ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' saw the return of Frenzy as a [[redeco]] of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Blowout]], transforming into a Porsche 959 sports car in purple and gray. He features through-axle wheels for super-fast rolling on smooth surfaces, and is designed to work with most "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" car sets, despite their being made by competitor companies.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed for ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Megatron]], then later to make [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Hot Shot (RID)#Toys|Hot Shot]]. The toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] to be a [[Frenzy (G2)|"next-generation" clone of Frenzy]].

===Music Label===
[[File:MusicLabel Frenzy headphone.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|Is it really wise to put an expert at sonic warfare right on your ear?]]
*'''Frenzy & Rumble Playing Earphones''' (2007)

:Released as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' toyline, Frenzy and Rumble share a fairly simplistic transformation from robots to white, circular, working earphones. Although sold separately from him, they were designed to go well with the Music Label [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave MP3 player]].

===Encore===
[[File:G1toy encore frenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
* '''Great Cassette Operation Vol.3''' (2009)
**''ID number'': '''19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Thruster Guns" (left & right), cassette case

: The original Frenzy toy was reissued for the first time as part of the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line, in a multi-pack with Rumble, Laserbeak, and [[Overkill (G1)#Encore|Overkill]]. Long a notable absentee from past reissue lineups due to the severe degradation of his mold, this edition of Frenzy has either been heavily restored—his head and weapons, at the very least, feature some notable differences in detail from the original—or might even be an entirely new mold based off of the original figure, a theory supported by the presence of a 2009 Tomy copyright on his leg, rather than an original 1980s Hasbro or Takara one.

:This version of Frenzy winds the figure back to the materials and colors of his pre-1986 releases, with metal feet and hinges, light-blue thighs and silver weapons, even reinstating his tummy-sticker from 1984 in addition to his rubsign. In a major change, his shin decals and all of his cassette mode labels are now [[paint operation]]s rather than stickers, while the stickers that previously decorated his thighs, wrists and biceps have been removed outright and not replaced.

:In 2014, Frenzy and the rest of the Cassettes were re-released as a lucky draw prize (along with the other 2 box sets) for the ''Transformers Celebration 2014'' event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's Toys"R"Us, though this was very likely to be remaining stock.

===United===
[[File:United toy-Frenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Rumble & Frenzy''' (Multi-pack, 2011-[[March 26|03-26]])
**''ID number:'' '''UN-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons

:Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers United]]'', Frenzy is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers:]] [[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Demolition Rumble]] (which never actually got released), transforming into a dual-cannon anti-aircraft tank. In [[robot mode]], his arms can transform into spring-loaded pile-driver weapons, and his two [[C joint]] guns can be attached to bars on either his arms or back.

: Frenzy was only available in a two-pack with [[Rumble (G1)/toys#United|Rumble]], who shares the same mold.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Adventure]]'' [[Frenzy (WFC)#Adventure|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (WFC)#Adventure|Rumble]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Rewind (G1)#Timelines 2|Rewind]] and [[Eject (G1)#Timelines|Eject]].

===Masterpiece===
[[File:Masterpiecetoy frenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Frenzy & Buzzsaw''' (set, [[2013]]-[[March 23|03-23]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-16'''
**''Accessories:'' Two piledrivers, piledriver mount, Left & right "Thruster Guns", pink tape case

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Frenzy is, of course, a redeco of ''Masterpiece'' [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-15 Rumble]], who was released only a month beforehand. He is an updated version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming from a highly [[Articulation|articulated]] robot to a mini-cassette the same size as his Generation 1 toy, although he cannot fit in the original Soundwave toy's chest cavity. Not simply blue this time around, he's based on the purple-and-blue color scheme of the Generation 1 cartoon (which was, as explained above, used for Rumble in the US, but in Japan, the cartoon was redubbed so it was Frenzy). He still has his traditional Thruster Gun weapons, which can peg onto his back, or be held by his hands via [[C joint|3mm post]]. He comes with a pink case which can be used to store him in tape mode.

[[File:TRU Masterpiece Soundwave-RumbleFrenzyPiledrivers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:To replicate his and Rumble's signature abilities from the cartoon series, Frenzy comes with two large piledriver accessories which clip onto his arms. The piledrivers can connect to a mounting piece that allows them to be worn on the figure's back when not in use, and they also contain hollows to store his Thruster Guns. The mounting piece can also attach to his back on its own to resemble a battery pack.

:The piledrivers can also interact with other figures: They can clip to ''Masterpiece'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Soundwave]]'s forearms to form cannons, or combine with ''Masterpiece'' Rumble's own piledrivers and link up with Soundwave's "sensor" accessory to form the interface cable that allows Soundwave to connect to other devices, as seen in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:He comes in a two-pack with [[Buzzsaw (G1)#Masterpiece|Buzzsaw]].

:This mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Enemy (G1)#Masterpiece|Enemy]].

**'''09 OF 30'''
**''ID number:'' '''MP-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Two piledrivers, piledriver mount, Left & right "Thruster Guns", clear tape case

:Included with the [[Hasbro]] [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]]-exclusive version of ''Masterpiece'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#HasbroMasterpiece|Soundwave]], "Decepticon Frenzy" features a different deco, replacing his silver [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] details with paint, and featuring slightly brighter and more purple blue plastic. His guns, piledrivers, mount, and micro-cassette case are all included and have been appropriately redecoed, with his tape case being cast in colorless-clear plastic this time.

*'''Kreon Class of 1984''' (Kreon figure set, 2014)
**''Voted'': Most Spirited
**''Accessories'': Small pistol

: The first [[Kreon]] Frenzy, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], follows the cartoon coloration, giving him a black-and-red deco... well, dark-gray-and-red-with-a-black-helmet deco. The color layouts in this set are kinda janky. He uses the ''Cityville'' micro-Kreon body, in keeping with his smaller stature in the cartoon.

: He was only available in the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] "Kreon Class of 1984" 30-pack. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set sold out at the show.

*'''Autobot Ratchet Vs. Soundwave''' (Battle Changer 2-pack, 2015)
**''Set number'': '''B1507'''

: This version of Frenzy is ''nearly'' identical to the Class of 1984 version: he has a different face [[tampograph]], and his Decepticon symbol is a darker purple. This version also adds a "missile" backpack to him, which, when he is clipped onto the bars on either of Soundwave's modes, turns him into a gun emplacement.

: He was only available in a ''Kre-O'' Battle Changers pack of [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ratchet]] vs [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Soundwave]], who also came with [[Rumble (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Rumble]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ravage]].

: This set, like all the Battle Changers, originally only saw release in Canada, Australia, and Asian markets. It eventually saw release in the U.S. in late 2015 through discount stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

===Vintage G1===
[[File:Vintage-G1-Frenzy-Laserbeak-carded.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*'''Decepticon Frenzy / Decepticon Laserbeak''' (Cassette 2-pack, 2019)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Thruster Guns" (left & right)

:As part of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line of reissues, Frenzy comes with fellow mini-cassette [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Laserbeak]], recreating their pairing in the [[#The Transformers|original toyline]]. He comes with his two thruster guns, and is packaged on a clasic-styled card with tech spec on the back. Also, he's [[FIRRIB|blue]].

: The most notable change to this release of Frenzy is the [[tampograph]]ed batch/production numbers on his tape-side, on both legs and his butt.

:Frenzy and Laserbeak are to be released alongside the similarly paired ''Vintage G1'' [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Ravage]] and [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Rumble]], and of course, are intended for collectors picking up the contemporaneously released ''Vintage G1'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Soundwave]] and [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Vintage G1|Buzzsaw]]. Like all figures from this line, Frenzy and Laserbeak are [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada.

* '''Mini Cassettes 3 Pack''' (Cassette 3-pack, [[September 16]], 2019)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "Thruster Guns" (left & right)

:Frenzy was also, strangely, included with [[Graphy#Vintage G1|Gurafi]] and [[Noise#Vintage G1|Noizu]] as part of a three-pack of mini-cassettes, all by himself on the right half of a giant three-pack card. Bizarrely, this right/left arrangement is retained for the back of the set, with Graphy and Noise's instructions and bios on the left behind Frenzy, and Frenzy's instructions/bio (and the other necessary branding) on the right behind the dinos. Rather than going for a variant for this second ''Vintage G1'' iteration–[[#G1FrenzyRatbat|such as gold weapons]], for example–Frenzy appears to be identical to his co-carded release with Laserbeak.

:Curiously, the [[stock photography|stock photos]] featured at the [[Hasbro Pulse]] website depict a sample of Frenzy with misassembled legs, resulting in mis-matched colors for both sides of his cassette mode. In the same photos, he's also missing the cassette detail sticker on his back.<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-vintage-g1-mini-cassettes-3-pack-gurafi-noizu-decepticon-frenzy Hasbro Pulse: Transformers Vintage G1 Mini-Cassettes 3-Pack Gurafi, Noizu, Decepticon Frenzy]</ref> The final product is (thankfully) assembled and stickered correctly, the potential odd [[quality control]] error nonwithstanding.

:This set was revealed when it went up for preorder on [[Hasbro Pulse]] on the first day of [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2019... despite not being announced at the show at all. This set was also available at general retail in Hong Kong. It was originally intended to be a [[HasCon 2019]] [[exclusive]], but was shuffled to Pulse following the convention's indefinite hiatus.

===Transformers Milk Caramel===
[[File:TFcaramel frenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|FIY!]]
*'''Frenzy''' (1985)
:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''— of Frenzy was released as part of the second wave of [[Kabaya]]'s ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]] range. He came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in red, blue, and yellow.

===Transformers Choco===
*'''Frenzy''' (1985)
:A solid-color, snap-together model kit of Frenzy was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line of candy toys. It was available in various colors, came with candy-coated chocolates, and could fit inside the chest of the larger ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' model kit of Soundwave.
{{-}}

===Transformers Gum===
[[File:Tfgum frenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|No, wait! We lied. The gum actually makes you feel worse.]]
*'''Frenzy and Jaguar''' (1986)
:A larger model kit of Frenzy was sold by Kabaya as part of their ''Transformers Gum'' line, in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]]. Sculpted from red and grey plastic (and consequently looking more like Rumble) and featuring stickers for detail, Frenzy is basically identical to his original toy, except he's actually a little bit ''larger'' than it! He's also too large to fit in the chest of the ''Transformers Gum'' Soundwave figure, but you can console yourself with the gum he comes packaged with.
{{-}}

===Decoy===
[[File:Decoy frenzy.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
:Frenzy was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Frenzy was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Frenzy was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Frenzy''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''50'''
:The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Decepticon Decoys, Frenzy was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

* '''Frenzy & Ravage''' (Diamond Select, 2009)

:An [[exclusive]] to online retailer [[BigBadToyStore]], this Frenzy bust was sculpted by [[Mark Wong]] of [[Art Asylum]] and limited to 600 pieces worldwide. Frenzy is colored red and black after his cartoon appearance, and sculpted wielding one of his thruster guns as [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]] pounces beside him. In addition, Frenzy's tape mode is sculpted at the front of the bust's base.

===The Loyal Subjects===
[[File:Tlsfrenzy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|PICK A FREAKING COLOR.]]
[[The Loyal Subjects]] Frenzy is a Wave 3 chase figure with standard articulation. He uses the Frenzy/Rumble animation model, but in his toy's colors. Unlike his buddy Rumble, he does not have piledrivers, or any gimmick for that matter. For every 96 figures, there is one Frenzy. He is the single hardest figure to find from wave 3.

**''Accessories:'' Left & right "Thruster Guns"

: Rumble was part of the first wave of ''Transformers'' toys released in 1984. Originally a ''[[Micro Change]]'' Microcassette Robo Micross, he transforms into a microcassette that fits into the tape deck compartment of the original [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys|Blaster]] toys. In [[Hasbro]] markets, Rumble was only available in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]].

: The 1984 release of the toy has a foil Decepticon symbol decal on Rumble's [[robot mode]] tummy. The 1985 release drops this decal in favor of a [[rubsign]] under the cassette-mode's tape-window. The 1986 release switches out his metal feet for plastic feet.

: This mold was also used to make [[Frenzy (G1)/toys|Frenzy]] and [[Enemy (G1)|Enemy]]. It can also be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[FIRRIB|G1 cartoon Frenzy]] (which obviously also applies to many of the following toys, so we won't repeat ourselves).

: Part of the canceled fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]], Rumble would have been a race car with a pizza-oriented sponsor ("Vinny's Pizza", possibly a reference to then-Hasbro employee [[Vincent D'Alleva]]) and an engine-oriented sponsor ("Jerry's Motors", possibly a reference to Hasbro employee [[Jerry Jivoin]]). He would have transformed into a modified Chevrolet Camaro with exposed engine block. He has through-axle construction to allow for super-fast rolling in car mode. Like his fellow "new"-mold teammates, his rifle stores under his car mode.

: Although he was never officially named in any known documents, his name is written on the front bumper. A very small handful of finished samples have made their way to the secondary market, where they demand some big bucks.

:This mold was redecoed into [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Side Swipe (RID)|Side Swipe]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Silverstreak]].

**''Accessories'': Left & right blasters

: For ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'', "Decepticon Rumble" (named so for [[trademark]] reasons) 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.

:[[File:Alt-rumble-toyfairuk2.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|X-Brawn, is that you?]]
: Rumble's seats are [[misassembly|misassembled]], keeping them from reclining completely in car mode. Fortunately, this is fixed relatively easily; one must simply unscrew each seat from the bottom of the car, swap them, and then rescrew.

:Rumble and his wave-mate [[Ravage (G1)/toys#AltJaguar|Ravage]] are notable for being the first and only Decepticon ''Alternators'' to be entirely new sculpts actually designed as those characters from the get-go, rather than an Autobot sculpt reworked to be someone else. They are also notable for being the final ''Alternators'' toys to be sold at retail. Originally intended for normal retail release in the US, the two of them wre ultimately relegated to being Wal-Mart [[exclusive]]s, released in late March of 2007.

:Ironically, despite being first revealed at the UK Toy Fair (in the form of early concept art for a design that was ultimately never used, depicted on the left), Rumble was never released in Europe at all.

*'''Rumble''' (Basic Class, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Blade, Cybertron-style Decepticon Cyber Key

: Available only in the customization class at [[BotCon 2006]] (along with [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]), Rumble is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scrapmetal (race)#Toys|Scrapmetal]] (using the [[Cobybot]] alternate head), transforming into a four-legged "spider tank" with top-mounted cannon. Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into the back end of the cannon swings a removable clear-plastic sawblade-sword from the main chamber of the cannon. In robot mode, the fists can be covered with the tank mode spikes, or a "pile driver".

: Both Rumble and Inferno were only available as unpainted, unassembled parts still connected to their sprues. The individuals taking the class had to assemble and paint the toy. The following Testors paint colors were used: Burnished Gold, British Gulf Armor, British Crimson, Magical Blue, Armored Steel, Flat Black, Camouflauge Gray, and Medium Gray.

*'''Frenzy & Rumble Playing Earphones''' (2007)

:Released as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' toyline, Rumble and Frenzy share a fairly simplistic transformation from robots to white, circular, working earphones. Although sold separately from him, they were designed to go well with the Music Label [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave MP3 player]].

===Encore===
{{anchor|JapaneseMultipack}}
*'''Great Cassette Operation Vol.3''' (2009)
**''Encore number'': '''19'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right "Thruster Guns"

: Rumble was reissued for the first time in over 20 years, along with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Encore|Frenzy]], [[Overkill (G1)#Encore|Overkill]], and [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Encore|Laserbeak]], as part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. This toy at the very least features several restored parts (including the head and weapons) if not an entirely new mold based on the original version. This theory is supported by the copyright Tomy 2009 on the inside of the leg rather than the Hasbro or Takara copyrights, and the different look of the headsculpt. This version of Rumble does not feature any of the cassette mode stickers or those originally on his legs. Most of the cassette details are now painted instead (but not those that end up on his arms in robot mode). The lower leg details are painted as well (but not the upper legs - that detail remains absent). His faction symbols remain stickers.

:In 2014, Rumble and the rest of the Cassettes were re-released as a lucky draw prize (along with the other 2 box sets) for the ''Transformers Celebration 2014'' event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's Toys"R"Us, though this was very likely to be remaining stock.

*'''Demolition Rumble''' (Scout Class, <s>[[2011]]</s>)
**''Accessories:'' Two guns

:Rendered, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, in the blue color scheme of Rumble's Generation 1 cartoon appearances (and the original Frenzy toy, the 1986 release gold weapon variant, specifically), ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Transformers: Reveal the Shield]]'' "Demolition Rumble" transforms into a dual-cannon anti-aircraft vehicle. In robot mode, his arms can transform into spring-loaded versions of the character's familiar pile-driver weapons, and his two [[C joint]] guns can be attached to bars on either his arms or back. As part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]], Rumble features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] on his main turret.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#United|Frenzy]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Rewind (G1)#Timelines|Rewind]].

:"Demolition Rumble" was intended to be released as part of the fifth Scout Class wave of the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line together with [[Downshift (TF 2010)#Toys|Downshift]] and [[Bodyblock (TF 2010)#Toys|Bodyblock]], but fell victim to the line's discontinuation by all major U.S. retailers in favor of the then-upcoming ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' line. Unlike the previous wave, which was released in other markets and eventually showed up at U.S. discount stores, the Rumble/Downshift/Bodyblock wave remains unreleased.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Two piledrivers, piledriver mount, Left & right "Thruster Guns", pink tape case

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Rumble is an updated version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming from a highly [[Articulation|articulated]] robot to a mini-cassette the same size as his Generation 1 toy, although it cannot fit in the original Soundwave toy's chest cavity. He still has his traditional Thruster Gun weapons, which can peg onto his back, or be held by his hands via [[C joint|3mm post]]. He comes with a pink case which can be used to store him in tape mode.

[[File:TRU Masterpiece Soundwave-RumbleFrenzyPiledrivers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:To replicate his and Frenzy's signature abilities from the cartoon series, Rumble comes with two large piledriver accessories which clip onto his arms. The piledrivers can connect to a mounting piece that allows them to be worn on the figure's back when not in use, and they also contain hollows to store his Thruster Guns. The mounting piece can also attach to his back on its own to resemble a battery pack.

:The piledrivers can also interact with other figures: They can clip to ''Masterpiece'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|Soundwave]]'s forearms to form cannons, or combine with ''Masterpiece'' [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Frenzy]]'s own piledrivers and link up with Soundwave's "sensor" accessory to form the interface cable that allows Soundwave to connect to other devices, as seen in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:He still comes in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ravage]], just as he did during the Generation 1 toyline. Rumble was, naturally, redecoed to create Frenzy, as well as [[Enemy (G1)#Masterpiece|Enemy]].

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' "Decepticon Rumble" is a retool of [[Rewind (G1)#Generations|Autobot Rewind]] and transforms from spy-tablet to tank to robot. In spy-tablet mode, he can be stored in [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]]'s chest, and features a 1:1 scale audio port that you can connect a pair of headphones to. His original stock render showed him as a straight redeco of Rewind, but the final product features a new head. Rumble is packaged with a collector card based on his card art. Like all Legends Class spy tablets, his stickers are prone to coming off at the edges after some posing and transforming.

:This mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' [[Frenzy (Movie)#Bumblebee|Frenzy]]. Unlike Rewind, the Rumble/Frenzy retool does not receive a Japanese ''Legends'' release.

: This version of Rumble, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], follows the cartoon coloration, giving him a predominantly dark-blue coloration. He uses the ''Cityville'' micro-Kreon body, in keeping with his smaller stature in the cartoon, and a pair of clip-on "turbine" parts to simulate his signature pile-drivers.

: He was only available in the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] "Kreon Class of 1984" 30-pack. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set sold out at the show.

: Hasbro [[stock photography]] shows him with a blaster accessory, but the actual product doesn't give him one.

**''Set number'': '''B1507'''

: This version of Rumble is incredibly similar to the Class of 1984 version: the dark blue is actually a different shade (a new slightly-aqua tone introduced in 2015), he has a different face [[tampograph]], and while he uses the same chest tampographs, his Decepticon symbol is a darker purple. This version also adds a "missile" backpack to him, which, when he is clipped onto the bars on either of Soundwave's modes, turns him into a gun emplacement.

: He was only available in a ''Kre-O'' Battle Changers pack of [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ratchet]] vs [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Soundwave]], who also came with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#BattleChangersRatchetVSSoundwave|Frenzy]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ravage]].

{{suite}}

'''Soundwave'''. Quantity of merchandise: sufficient.

==Transformers Design Center==
[[File:Transformers design center.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Design Center''' (1984)

:Manufactured by [[Arrow]], the Soundwave Design Center was a box in the general shape and likeness of Soundwave which contained various arts and crafts projects for young tykes to entertain themselves with. His head pulled out to reveal a ruler, one arm contains a hilariously dinky and useless pair of "scissors", his lower legs contained rubbing-transfer panels, and the entire back worked as a sort of pantograph machine - attaching a nib to one end of the large mechanical armature ostensibly allowed you to 'remote draw' designs on the included plates.

*'''Soundwave''' (1985)
:One of [[Kabaya]]'s first Transformers [[candy toy]] lines, the ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' series featured small rubber figures, similar to the later-released [[Decoy]]s, but smaller, flatter and based more on the toys, rather than their animation models. Soundwave was available in numerous different colors.

**''Accessories:'' Rocket launcher, rocket

:A model kit of Soundwave was available as part of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Although armed with only one of his guns and lacking the ability to store it in his battery compartment like the original toy could, he retains his opening chest door. Although ''Transformers Gum'' versions of some of Soundwave's cassettes would later be released, they proved too large to fit in ''Gum'' Soundwave's chest; he could, however, accommodate the smaller cassettes released as part of Kabaya's ''other'' candy toy model kit series, ''[[Transformers Choco]]''.

:This Soundwave figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named [[Toon Town]], in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]].

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1985)
: This small purple rubber figurine of Soundwave was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Soundwave's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of Soundwave could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year, and in numerous other colours as part of the blindpacked ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' line.

*'''Soundwave''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''36'''

: The Soundwave figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (36, in Soundwave's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Soundwave came with the right arm of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure". This part could be either full-color or clear plastic, at a ratio of 1:1.

*'''Soundblaster''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: Soundwave's PVC was recolored into his black ''Headmasters'' incarnation, Soundblaster, for the sixth ''SCF'' wave. This time, the figure was available in a variant metallic silver "pewter" color scheme, at the same ratio of one each per standard case.

: In eight out of every ten cases, pewter Soundblaster came packaged with the right leg of this wave's [[Grand Maximus#Heroes of Cybertron|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure. This part could be in either full color or pewter, in the ''very'' unequal ratio of six color parts to every two pewter.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage at the joints, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

==Heroes of Cybertron==
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)

: The original Soundwave ''SCF'' figure was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series. Like all figures in the line, this release of Soundwave differed from his ''SCF'' counterpart by being cast entirely in translucent red plastic and then painted over, save for his eyes, allowing for a [[light-piping]] effect. There are a few other minor differences, namely the vents on the sides of his helmet being white instead of black, he uses a paler shade of yellow, and his, um, groin-buttons being a solid block of white rather than individually painted.

: Rather than being blindpacked, Soundwave was sold on an individual blister pack with a profile card included.

: Soundwave was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Soundwave was ''mostly'' the same as the previous HOC release, except for being cast in solid rather than translucent plastic. His paint applications are more in-line with the original SCF, with black vents and separately-painted groin-buttons.

Soundwaveandcassettes: /* Hallmark Keepsake */

{{suite}}

'''Soundwave'''. Quantity of merchandise: sufficient.

==Transformers Design Center==
[[File:Transformers design center.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Design Center''' (1984)

:Manufactured by [[Arrow]], the Soundwave Design Center was a box in the general shape and likeness of Soundwave which contained various arts and crafts projects for young tykes to entertain themselves with. His head pulled out to reveal a ruler, one arm contains a hilariously dinky and useless pair of "scissors", his lower legs contained rubbing-transfer panels, and the entire back worked as a sort of pantograph machine - attaching a nib to one end of the large mechanical armature ostensibly allowed you to 'remote draw' designs on the included plates.

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Milk caramel soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Soundwave''' (1985)
:One of [[Kabaya]]'s first Transformers [[candy toy]] lines, the ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' series featured small rubber figures, similar to the later-released [[Decoy]]s, but smaller, flatter and based more on the toys, rather than their animation models. Soundwave was available in numerous different colors.
{{-}}
==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum soundwave.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*'''Soundwave''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Rocket launcher, rocket

:A model kit of Soundwave was available as part of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Although armed with only one of his guns and lacking the ability to store it in his battery compartment like the original toy could, he retains his opening chest door. Although ''Transformers Gum'' versions of some of Soundwave's cassettes would later be released, they proved too large to fit in ''Gum'' Soundwave's chest; he could, however, accommodate the smaller cassettes released as part of Kabaya's ''other'' candy toy model kit series, ''[[Transformers Choco]]''.

:This Soundwave figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named [[Toon Town]], in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]].

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1985)
: This small purple rubber figurine of Soundwave was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Soundwave's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of Soundwave could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year, and in numerous other colours as part of the blindpacked ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' line.

*'''Soundwave''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''36'''

: The Soundwave figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (36, in Soundwave's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Soundwave came with the right arm of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure". This part could be either full-color or clear plastic, at a ratio of 1:1.

{{anchor|SCFSoundblaster}}
*'''Soundblaster''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: Soundwave's PVC was recolored into his black ''Headmasters'' incarnation, Soundblaster, for the sixth ''SCF'' wave. This time, the figure was available in a variant metallic silver "pewter" color scheme, at the same ratio of one each per standard case.

: In eight out of every ten cases, pewter Soundblaster came packaged with the right leg of this wave's [[Grand Maximus#Heroes of Cybertron|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure. This part could be in either full color or pewter, in the ''very'' unequal ratio of six color parts to every two pewter.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage at the joints, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

==Heroes of Cybertron==
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)

: The original Soundwave ''SCF'' figure was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series. Like all figures in the line, this release of Soundwave differed from his ''SCF'' counterpart by being cast entirely in translucent red plastic and then painted over, save for his eyes, allowing for a [[light-piping]] effect. There are a few other minor differences, namely the vents on the sides of his helmet being white instead of black, he uses a paler shade of yellow, and his, um, groin-buttons being a solid block of white rather than individually painted.

: Rather than being blindpacked, Soundwave was sold on an individual blister pack with a profile card included.

: Soundwave was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Soundwave was ''mostly'' the same as the previous HOC release, except for being cast in solid rather than translucent plastic. His paint applications are more in-line with the original SCF, with black vents and separately-painted groin-buttons.

Soundwave (G1)/merchandise

Soundwaveandcassettes: added image

{{suite}}

'''Soundwave'''. Quantity of merchandise: sufficient.

==Transformers Design Center==
[[File:Transformers design center.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Design Center''' (1984)

:Manufactured by [[Arrow]], the Soundwave Design Center was a box in the general shape and likeness of Soundwave which contained various arts and crafts projects for young tykes to entertain themselves with. His head pulled out to reveal a ruler, one arm contains a hilariously dinky and useless pair of "scissors", his lower legs contained rubbing-transfer panels, and the entire back worked as a sort of pantograph machine - attaching a nib to one end of the large mechanical armature ostensibly allowed you to 'remote draw' designs on the included plates.
{{-}}

==Transformers Cassette Player==
[[File:SoundwaveCassettePlayer.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Teddy Ruxpin comparisons: unappreciated.]]
*'''Cassette Player''' (1985)

:A non-Transforming cassette player in the shape of Soundwave in his robot mode (oh the irony!), made by Hasbro in 1985. It runs on 3 C batteries (not included, of course).

{{-}}
==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Milk caramel soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Soundwave''' (1985)
:One of [[Kabaya]]'s first Transformers [[candy toy]] lines, the ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' series featured small rubber figures, similar to the later-released [[Decoy]]s, but smaller, flatter and based more on the toys, rather than their animation models. Soundwave was available in numerous different colors.
{{-}}
==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum soundwave.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*'''Soundwave''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Rocket launcher, rocket

:A model kit of Soundwave was available as part of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Although armed with only one of his guns and lacking the ability to store it in his battery compartment like the original toy could, he retains his opening chest door. Although ''Transformers Gum'' versions of some of Soundwave's cassettes would later be released, they proved too large to fit in ''Gum'' Soundwave's chest; he could, however, accommodate the smaller cassettes released as part of Kabaya's ''other'' candy toy model kit series, ''[[Transformers Choco]]''.

:This Soundwave figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named [[Toon Town]], in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]].

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1985)
: This small purple rubber figurine of Soundwave was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Soundwave's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of Soundwave could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year, and in numerous other colours as part of the blindpacked ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' line.

*'''Soundwave''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''36'''

: The Soundwave figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (36, in Soundwave's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:HOC-figure Soundwave.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Soundwave was available in the third wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Soundwave came with the right arm of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure". This part could be either full-color or clear plastic, at a ratio of 1:1.

{{anchor|SCFSoundblaster}}
*'''Soundblaster''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: Soundwave's PVC was recolored into his black ''Headmasters'' incarnation, Soundblaster, for the sixth ''SCF'' wave. This time, the figure was available in a variant metallic silver "pewter" color scheme, at the same ratio of one each per standard case.

: In eight out of every ten cases, pewter Soundblaster came packaged with the right leg of this wave's [[Grand Maximus#Heroes of Cybertron|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure. This part could be in either full color or pewter, in the ''very'' unequal ratio of six color parts to every two pewter.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage at the joints, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

==Heroes of Cybertron==
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)

: The original Soundwave ''SCF'' figure was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series. Like all figures in the line, this release of Soundwave differed from his ''SCF'' counterpart by being cast entirely in translucent red plastic and then painted over, save for his eyes, allowing for a [[light-piping]] effect. There are a few other minor differences, namely the vents on the sides of his helmet being white instead of black, he uses a paler shade of yellow, and his, um, groin-buttons being a solid block of white rather than individually painted.

: Rather than being blindpacked, Soundwave was sold on an individual blister pack with a profile card included.

: Soundwave was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Soundwave was ''mostly'' the same as the previous HOC release, except for being cast in solid rather than translucent plastic. His paint applications are more in-line with the original SCF, with black vents and separately-painted groin-buttons.

==MyClone==
[[File:Myclone soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MTF012'''
**''Accessories:'' Blue display stand

:Released in the second wave of the ''[[MyClone]]'' line of Transformers PVC figures, this [[super deformed]] Soundwave comes with a hexagonal blue display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other MyClone figures. His modular design allows his parts to be mixed and matched with those of any other MyClone figure.

==Q-Robo Collection==
[[File:Qrobo soundwave.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)
**''Accessories:'' Laserbeak

:A super-deformed PVC of Soundwave was released as part of the ''[[Q-Robo Collection Figure|Q-Robo Collection]]'', and included a removable Laserbeak figure that could fit into his chest, as if in mid-ejection. Like all the figures in the series, it was sold blindpacked in a plastic capsule, featured articulation in the neck and shoulders, and was also available in a translucent purple color scheme.

:At only one inch in height, this Soundwave "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

His name has been changed from "Soundblaster" to "Sound Blaster".

:His [[Tech Spec]] contains some interesting new information, notably that his body was reconstructed using technology stolen from [[Nebulos]] and his shoulder cannon is now an "electric launcher" capable of firing charged particles at 38,000 volts. His tech spec stats are STR 10 INT 7 SPD 8 END 10 RNK 9 CRG 10 FBL 10 SKL 8 and are completely different from the ones on his original Japanese release.

*'''Bumblebee & Soundwave''' (2007)

:A non-transforming PVC figure of Soundwave was released as part of a promotion by [[Boss Coffee]]. The small figure was randomly included with single cans of the company's "Rainbow Mountain Blend" coffee, contained in a plastic capsule affixed to the top of can which then became a display base for the figurine once removed. Soundwave features articulation at the shoulders and waist, and came with a small catalog leaflet that could be folded up and attached to the lid/base to form a diorama background for added display value.

He is attached to the arm with a string, allowing him to take flight and get better shots at enemy pieces.

:While Hasbro showed off Laserbeak at some conventions, he was ultimately never released. Most of his in-game stats and abilities are as such unknown.

*'''Ravage''' / '''Rumble''' (Cassette 2-pack, 1984/1985/1986)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right "Thruster Guns"

: Rumble was part of the first wave of ''Transformers'' toys released in 1984. Originally a ''[[Micro Change]]'' Microcassette Robo Micross, he transforms into a microcassette that fits into the tape deck compartment of the original [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys|Blaster]] toys. In [[Hasbro]] markets, Rumble was only available in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]].

: The 1984 release of the toy has a foil Decepticon symbol decal on Rumble's [[robot mode]] tummy. The 1985 release drops this decal in favor of a [[rubsign]] under the cassette-mode's tape-window. The 1986 release switches out his metal feet for plastic feet.

: This mold was also used to make [[Frenzy (G1)/toys|Frenzy]] and [[Enemy (G1)|Enemy]]. It can also be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[FIRRIB|G1 cartoon Frenzy]] (which obviously also applies to many of the following toys, so we won't repeat ourselves).

: Part of the canceled fourth wave of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]], Rumble would have been a race car with a pizza-oriented sponsor ("Vinny's Pizza", possibly a reference to then-Hasbro employee [[Vincent D'Alleva]]) and an engine-oriented sponsor ("Jerry's Motors", possibly a reference to Hasbro employee [[Jerry Jivoin]]). He would have transformed into a modified Chevrolet Camaro with exposed engine block. He has through-axle construction to allow for super-fast rolling in car mode. Like his fellow "new"-mold teammates, his rifle stores under his car mode.

: Although he was never officially named in any known documents, his name is written on the front bumper. A very small handful of finished samples have made their way to the secondary market, where they demand some big bucks.

**''Accessories'': Left & right blasters

: For ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'', "Decepticon Rumble" (named so for [[trademark]] reasons) 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.

:[[File:Alt-rumble-toyfairuk2.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|X-Brawn, is that you?]]
: Rumble's seats are [[misassembly|misassembled]], keeping them from reclining completely in car mode. Fortunately, this is fixed relatively easily; one must simply unscrew each seat from the bottom of the car, swap them, and then rescrew.

:Rumble and his wave-mate [[Ravage (G1)/toys#AltJaguar|Ravage]] are notable for being the first and only Decepticon ''Alternators'' to be entirely new sculpts actually designed as those characters from the get-go, rather than an Autobot sculpt reworked to be someone else. They are also notable for being the final ''Alternators'' toys to be sold at retail. Originally intended for normal retail release in the US, the two of them wre ultimately relegated to being Wal-Mart [[exclusive]]s, released in late March of 2007.

:Ironically, despite being first revealed at the UK Toy Fair (in the form of early concept art for a design that was ultimately never used, depicted on the left), Rumble was never released in Europe at all.

: Available only in the customization class at [[BotCon 2006]] (along with [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]), Rumble is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scrapmetal (race)#Toys|Scrapmetal]] (using the [[Cobybot]] alternate head), transforming into a four-legged "spider tank" with top-mounted cannon. Inserting a [[Cyber Key]] into the back end of the cannon swings a removable clear-plastic sawblade-sword from the main chamber of the cannon. In robot mode, the fists can be covered with the tank mode spikes, or a "pile driver".

: Both Rumble and Inferno were only available as unpainted, unassembled parts still connected to their sprues. The individuals taking the class had to assemble and paint the toy. The following Testors paint colors were used: Burnished Gold, British Gulf Armor, British Crimson, Magical Blue, Armored Steel, Flat Black, Camouflauge Gray, and Medium Gray.

*'''Frenzy & Rumble Playing Earphones''' (2007)

:Released as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Music Label|Music Label]]'' toyline, Rumble and Frenzy share a fairly simplistic transformation from robots to white, circular, working earphones. Although sold separately from him, they were designed to go well with the Music Label [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave MP3 player]].

===Encore===
{{anchor|JapaneseMultipack}}
*'''Great Cassette Operation Vol.3''' (2009)
**''Encore number'': '''19'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right "Thruster Guns"

: Rumble was reissued for the first time in over 20 years, along with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Encore|Frenzy]], [[Overkill (G1)#Encore|Overkill]], and [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Encore|Laserbeak]], as part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. This toy at the very least features several restored parts (including the head and weapons) if not an entirely new mold based on the original version. This theory is supported by the copyright Tomy 2009 on the inside of the leg rather than the Hasbro or Takara copyrights, and the different look of the headsculpt. This version of Rumble does not feature any of the cassette mode stickers or those originally on his legs. Most of the cassette details are now painted instead (but not those that end up on his arms in robot mode). The lower leg details are painted as well (but not the upper legs - that detail remains absent). His faction symbols remain stickers.

:In 2014, Rumble and the rest of the Cassettes were re-released as a lucky draw prize (along with the other 2 box sets) for the ''Transformers Celebration 2014'' event held at Ikebukuro Sunshine City store's Toys"R"Us, though this was very likely to be remaining stock.

*'''Demolition Rumble''' (Scout Class, <s>[[2011]]</s>)
**''Accessories:'' Two guns

:Rendered, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, in the blue color scheme of Rumble's Generation 1 cartoon appearances (and the original Frenzy toy, the 1986 release gold weapon variant, specifically), ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Transformers: Reveal the Shield]]'' "Demolition Rumble" transforms into a dual-cannon anti-aircraft vehicle. In robot mode, his arms can transform into spring-loaded versions of the character's familiar pile-driver weapons, and his two [[C joint]] guns can be attached to bars on either his arms or back. As part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]], Rumble features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] on his main turret.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#United|Frenzy]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Rewind (G1)#Timelines|Rewind]].

:"Demolition Rumble" was intended to be released as part of the fifth Scout Class wave of the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line together with [[Downshift (TF 2010)#Toys|Downshift]] and [[Bodyblock (TF 2010)#Toys|Bodyblock]], but fell victim to the line's discontinuation by all major U.S. retailers in favor of the then-upcoming ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' line. Unlike the previous wave, which was released in other markets and eventually showed up at U.S. discount stores, the Rumble/Downshift/Bodyblock wave remains unreleased.

**''ID number:'' '''UN-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons

:Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers United]]'', Rumble is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers:]] [[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Demolition Rumble]] (which never actually got released), transforming into a dual-cannon anti-aircraft tank. In robot mode, his arms can transform into spring-loaded pile-driver weapons, and his two [[C joint]] guns can be attached to bars on either his arms or back.

: Rumble was only available in a two-pack with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#United|Frenzy]], who shares the same mold.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Adventure]]'' [[Frenzy (WFC)#Adventure|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (WFC)#Adventure|Rumble]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Rewind (G1)#Timelines|Rewind]] and [[Eject (G1)#Timelines|Eject]].

*'''Rumble & Jaguar''' ([[2013]]-[[February 23|02-23]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Two piledrivers, piledriver mount, Left & right "Thruster Guns", pink tape case

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Rumble is an updated version of the original Generation 1 toy, transforming from a highly [[Articulation|articulated]] robot to a mini-cassette the same size as his Generation 1 toy, although it cannot fit in the original Soundwave toy's chest cavity. He still has his traditional Thruster Gun weapons, which can peg onto his back, or be held by his hands via [[C joint|3mm post]]. He comes with a pink case which can be used to store him in tape mode.

[[File:TRU Masterpiece Soundwave-RumbleFrenzyPiledrivers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:To replicate his and Frenzy's signature abilities from the cartoon series, Rumble comes with two large piledriver accessories which clip onto his arms. The piledrivers can connect to a mounting piece that allows them to be worn on the figure's back when not in use, and they also contain hollows to store his Thruster Guns. The mounting piece can also attach to his back on its own to resemble a battery pack.

:The piledrivers can also interact with other figures: They can clip to ''Masterpiece'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|Soundwave]]'s forearms to form cannons, or combine with ''Masterpiece'' [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Frenzy]]'s own piledrivers and link up with Soundwave's "sensor" accessory to form the interface cable that allows Soundwave to connect to other devices, as seen in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:He still comes in a two-pack with [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ravage]], just as he did during the Generation 1 toyline. Rumble was, naturally, redecoed to create Frenzy, as well as [[Enemy (G1)#Masterpiece|Enemy]].

**''Accessories'': Rifle/tank cannon
:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' "Decepticon Rumble" is a retool of [[Rewind (G1)#Generations|Autobot Rewind]] and transforms from spy-tablet to tank to robot. In spy-tablet mode, he can be stored in [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]]'s chest, and features a 1:1 scale audio port that you can connect a pair of headphones to. His original stock render showed him as a straight redeco of Rewind, but the final product features a new head. Rumble is packaged with a collector card based on his card art. Like all Legends Class spy tablets, his stickers are prone to coming off at the edges after some posing and transforming.

:This mold was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' [[Frenzy (Movie)#Bumblebee|Frenzy]]. Unlike Rewind, the Rumble/Frenzy retool does not receive a Japanese ''Legends'' release.

*'''Kreon Class of 1984''' (Kreon figure set, 2014)
**''Set number'': '''B0090'''
**''Voted'': Most Likely To Shake Things Up
**''Accessories'': 2 clip-on turbines/pile-drivers

: This version of Rumble, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], follows the cartoon coloration, giving him a predominantly dark-blue coloration. He uses the ''Cityville'' micro-Kreon body, in keeping with his smaller stature in the cartoon, and a pair of clip-on "turbine" parts to simulate his signature pile-drivers.

: He was only available in the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] "Kreon Class of 1984" 30-pack. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set sold out at the show.

: Hasbro [[stock photography]] shows him with a blaster accessory, but the actual product doesn't give him one.

*'''Autobot Ratchet Vs. Soundwave''' (Battle Changer 2-pack, 2015)
**''Set number'': '''B1507'''

: This version of Rumble is incredibly similar to the Class of 1984 version: the dark blue is actually a different shade (a new slightly-aqua tone introduced in 2015), he has a different face [[tampograph]], and while he uses the same chest tampographs, his Decepticon symbol is a darker purple. This version also adds a "missile" backpack to him, which, when he is clipped onto the bars on either of Soundwave's modes, turns him into a gun emplacement.

: He was only available in a ''Kre-O'' Battle Changers pack of [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ratchet]] vs [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Soundwave]], who also came with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#BattleChangersRatchetVSSoundwave|Frenzy]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ravage]].

: This set, like all the Battle Changers, originally only saw release in Canada, Australia, and Asian markets. It eventually saw release in the U.S. in late 2015 through discount stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

He comes with his two thruster guns, and is packaged onto a classic G1-styled card with tech spec on the back. Also, he's [[RIRFIB|red]].

A prototype was seen (along with other unreleased ''Transformers'' and ''Star Wars'' ''Attacktix'' playing pieces) at the Celebration IV ''Star Wars'' convention. Rumble was to be a Trooper-type piece worth 20 points, would've utilized melee attacks using his piledrivers, and would've been [[FIRRIB|blue]].
