Frenzy (Movie)
| The name or term "Frenzy" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Frenzy (disambiguation). |
- Frenzy is a Decepticon from the Movie continuity family.
Frenzy is small, sneaky and... likes to keep up on current events. He's a hyper-articulated, sentient, evil alien, shape-changing robot from outer space that turns into a radio. But he doesn't shrink (because that would be unrealistic), so he's quite a good contortionist. In short, he's a creepy little abomination, with an irritating habit of reading over people's shoulders. He is neither red nor blue.
- Working name: Soundbyte
Fiction
Ghosts of Yesterday novel
Frenzy is the smallest member of the Nemesis' crew. He likes to sneak-attack from behind Autobots while they're concentrating on his larger teammates. He doesn't fare well in this particular battle but is presumably repaired at some future point.
Transformers (2007) film
- Voice actor: Reno Wilson (English)
Frenzy is a "homage" to Soundwave, General Grievous, Waspinator, wire hangers, and far out acid trips. A LOT of far out acid trips.
He's not that tough without his head, which he loses frequently. This makes him farily useless in combat, so he generally just spies on people.
Frenzy speaks in a hyper-accelerated fashion. He also looks quite disturbing when downloading information.
He flips the bird at the military
His last line was "Oh shit!" as most of his head is cut off (yet again) by his own blade discs
Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Barricade (Deluxe, 2007)
- Japanese ID number: MD-02
- Included with the larger Deluxe Barricade is a very out-of-scale Frenzy (putting him somewhere around 7 feet tall) that folds up to become the larger 'Con's grill in both vehicle and robot mode. It is barely poseable and falls over as easily as Generation 1 Ravage.
- Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter (Deluxe Multi-pack, 2007)
- This Wal-Mart exclusive deluxe package comes with an unaltered Bumblebee, Barricade and, by extention, Frenzy.
- Recon Barricade (Deluxe, 2007)
- (Note: As of this update, this item has not been released.)
- Disc Launch Decepticon Frenzy (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
- Like most of the Fast Action Battler toys, this one is fairly inaccurate to the CGI model. It does, however, feature a launching disk that ejects from its chest as a pressure-launched projectile. This version of Frenzy transforms into a two-speaker stereo CD/cassette/radio.
- (Note: As of this update, this item has not been released.)
- Decepticon Frenzy (Robot Replicas, 2007)
- This non-Transforming action figure of Frenzy is a little closer to the CGI model. It features a second set of arms with his machinegun extensions that can be swapped with his normal ones.
- (Note: As of this update, this item has not been released.)
Merchandise
- Autobot Jazz vs Decepticon Frenzy (Robot Heroes, 2007)
- Released with Robot Heroes Jazz, this version of Frenzy is the most adorably goofy razor blade death robot you ever saw.
- (Note: As of this update, this item has not been released.)
Trivia
- Frenzy (or at very least, a robot who looked just liked him) was most certainly NOT in a cage in the back of the Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit. You were seeing things. It was swamp gas. No wait, a weather balloon. But DEFINITELY not a robot alien from outer space.
