One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
I met a girl there and she almost knocked me dead

A rowdy rebellious rocker, Frenzy lives up to her name. She's a cauldron of chaotic energy out to have a good time, and that usually means trouble for everyone else. She can emit a debilitating sonic scream to take on bots many times her size, setting them up for a clean shot with her laser-blaster guitar.

Too loud for you? Frenzy likes it loud!

—Frenzy, "Decoy"

Fiction

EarthSpark cartoon

Voice actor: Tiana Camacho (English), Betzabé Jara (Latin American Spanish), Tabata Portella (Brazilian Portuguese)

Following the end of the Autobot/Decepticon war, Frenzy remained with Soundwave as one of a number of hold out Decepticons following Megatron's defection. Soundwave had her, Ravage and Laserbeak steal Agent Schloder's ID card as part of a plan to rescue their comrades imprisoned in G.H.O.S.T.'s HQ, and when the trio were tracked down by Megatron and Optimus Prime. They were able to successfully hold the pair off, even unleashing their Tri-Tone attack, until Bumblebee arrived with restraining bolts, and the cassette-bots were captured. Soundwave attacked the Autobots on their way back to HQ, freeing the cassette-bots with an electromagnetic pulse. After tussling with Megatron, the cassette-bots turned their attention on the Terran and human Malto kids, however their Tri-Tone attack turned out to be countered by the catchy song the kids had made up. Frenzy advanced on them with her guitar blaster, only to be knocked flat by Bumblebee. In the aftermath, Megatron persuaded Optimus to let the cassette-bots free, believing G.H.O.S.T.'s imprisonment of Cybertronians to be wrong. When Ravage later went to rejoin Soundwave, Frenzy pointed out they were free but Ravage left regardless of her words. Decoy

Just you and me, punk rock girl.

Frenzy was the color commentator for the Bot Brawl events held in the Philadelphia underground. She left the position after Grimlock tore up the arena, having been freed from Mandroid's mind control badge. Home, Part 1

Notes

  • EarthSpark Frenzy is the first incarnation of the character to be depicted with she/her/hers pronouns.
  • She dodges the whole FIRRIB thing by being purple. (Though Rumble in the original cartoon was also kind of purple-ish, so maybe we aren’t out of the woods yet…)
  • In the Hungarian dub, Frenzy was dubbed by a male voice actor with a high-pitched voice.
