Rumble and Frenzy. Or Frenzy and Rumble. Whatever.

FIBRIR stands for "Frenzy is blue, Rumble is red". Likewise, RIBFIR means "Rumble is blue, Frenzy is red". (The forms FIRRIB and RIRFIB are also known.)

The entire debate exists because "RIBFIR" in the American G1 cartoon, but "FIBRIR" in the toyline, comics, and the Japanese G1 dub (which simply switched who was who), and even the US cartoon bible.

Rumble and Frenzy have both had red and blue toys or merchandise, though FIBRIR predominates.

Frenzy Rumble
Toys Blue Red
Marvel comics Blue Red
US cartoon Red Blue
Japanese cartoon Blue Red
Dreamwave comics Blue Red
Devil's Due comics Red Blue

(Items are listed in release order. I.e., the toys came first.)


It is generally agreed that pointing out Rumble was actually purple in the original cartoon is not helpful.
