	:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Core Class, Terrorcon Freezer is based on the character's appearance in ''Rise of the Beasts'', converting from a [[Frenzy (Movie)\|Frenzy]]-esque four-armed robot into three Cybertronian weapon modes: a handheld blaster, a free-standing gun emplacement, and a configuration designed to attach to [[Scourge (ROTB)#Studio Series\|''Studio Series'' Scourge]]'s truck bed.		:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Core Class, Terrorcon Freezer is based on the character's appearance in ''Rise of the Beasts'', converting from a [[Frenzy (Movie)\|Frenzy]]-esque four-armed robot into three Cybertronian weapon modes: a handheld blaster for other figures, a free-standing gun emplacement, and a configuration designed to attach to [[Scourge (ROTB)#Studio Series\|''Studio Series'' Scourge]]'s truck bed.

	'''Freezer''' is one of the small insectoid-like [[Sweep (ROTB)\|Sweep]]s that serve under [[Scourge (ROTB)\|Scourge]] as his personal hunters and evil-doers in general. Along with his similar-looking partner in crime, [[Novakane]], the two follow their master's every command even if it's sure to cost them their very own lives.

	Scourge deployed Freezer and Novakane to retrieve the [[Transwarp Key]] and kill the two humans aware of its existence, [[Elena Wallace]] and [[Noah ~~Diaz~~]]. They pursued them through the museum, having the brute strength to smash through doors, but also moving stealthily with their ability to cling to walls. When one of them was about to get to Elena, Noah momentarily stopped him by hitting his head with a relic, and the humans managed to run out the exit, where a heated battle between the [[Autobot]]s and the Terrorcons was taking place. Both Freezer and Novakane followed the humans outside, where they attacked and fought against [[Mirage (Movie)\|Mirage]] until the battle was over.

	Freezer was later dispatched alone in Peru, with the same mission of "Kill the humans, get the key". Crossing the rooftops and avoiding detection due to Mirage being distracted by 'groupies', he went underground into the buried city. Without the humans noticing, he snuck into the chamber with the empty coffin which had once contained the key, but before he could kill either of them, Noah saw him on the wall behind Elena. The pair ran for their lives, with the Sweep giving relentless chase. After nearly killing them several times, Freezer himself was killed when Noah accidentally shot him with his Cybertronian gauntlet, not having realized it had any weapons to fight back with. {{storylink\|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)\|Rise of the Beasts}}		Freezer was later dispatched alone in Peru, with the same mission of "Kill the humans, get the key".
