| This article is about the Generation 1 Mini-Cassette. For the Universe Decepticon, see Rumble (Universe). |
- Rumble is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
The label 'brat punk' isn't completely inaccurate. Rumble is your basic street punk. Small, but always acting tough as a cover. Quick tempered and of a generally mean disposition, he follows 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: Tremot
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
(Events in italics occur in UK-only stories.)
Rumble's acheivements 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. It took him a very long time to get better.
Animated continuity
- Voice Actor: Frank Welker (English), Keiichi Nanba (Japanese -- See note below.)
(In the Japanese dub, the lesser-seen red Decepticon cassette, or our Frenzy, was indicated to be Rumble to more accurately reflect his toy colors.)
Rumble would usually make an appearance by leaping from Soundwave's chest as he transformed. 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 when he had borrowed Rumble's power chip.
Assisted by his diminutive stature, Rumble was also responsible for stealing some of the cars that would later become the Stunticons.
Fairly prominent in Seasons One and Two, his apperances dwindled after the start of Season Three.
Rumble was effectively doubled by his bodytype-brother Frenzy. Both had identical voices, personalities and abilities, though Rumble appeared alone more often than not.
Toys

In this line up, he transforms into a 2006 Honda Civic Si
Trivia
- On the G1 TV series, Rumble was represented with the colors of 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.)
