So, what's the official position, right now?--GUIGUI 18:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is none. --ItsWalky 18:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Clever of them. But were Frenzy and Rumble featured in Dreamwave or IDW? And if yes, in wich colors? --GUIGUI 19:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Dreamwave was inconsistent. IIRC, they were cartoon colors in the stories and toy/comic colors in the MTMTE profile books. They have not appeared yet in IDW. (Alternators Rumble is red, however.) --ItsWalky 19:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe that the few times that they appeared in Dreamwave's comics, they were always together and so it was impossible to tell which was which. - Dark T Zeratul 23:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- If we assume that the use of piledrivers indicates that it was Rumble, then the little fella was blue in the first DW G1 miniseries, but after that, Dark T's right, they were always together and were never singled out, so it's impossible to tell who's who based on colour. Then, they were done in toy colours for MTMTE. - Chris McFeely 00:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- The "Who's who" in the back of the War and Peace TPB identifies them as their toy colors. --ItsWalky 01:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This article should be moved to FIBRIR, with RIBFIR as a redirect. -Derik 23:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Change To Chart
A whole new approach to the chart might better convey the information. Tufte says that if you're trying convey info about color, and you can print in color, you'd be a fool not to use it. Maybe like so?
| Frenzy | Rumble | |
|---|---|---|
| US cartoon | Red | Blue |
| Japanese cartoon | Blue | Red |
| US toys | Blue | Red |
| Japanese toys | Blue | Red |
| Marvel Comics | Blue | Red |
| Dreamwave comics | Blue | Red |
| Devil's Due comics | Red | Blue |
(We keep the words "red" and "blue" for people who are blind or just color blind, for those not using color monitors, or using text browsers, etc.) JW 15:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, this chart is much nicer and clearer than the one in the article now. I vote for switching it in immediately.
