Talk:Rumble (G1)

Shouldn't this page just be 'Rumble'? - RolonBolon 17:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I think so, the only other Rumble I can think of is from GF.

On a similar note, how do we want to explain the fact that in the Japanese dub, Frenzy was the blue cassette? I think a "However, in the Japanese dub, all of this was done by Frenzy" would be the easyest. --FortMax 18:20, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Smallest Decpeticon?

Quite possibly. I remember one episode where he fought Spike. They were the same size, and Spike was actually able to push him around a bit, though Rumble, being machine, ultimately prevailed. But then there was another episode where Rumble was about double Spike's size.71.34.68.213 22:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Haha, scale! But seriously, he was indeed pretty consistently depicted as the smallest robot-mode Decepticon on the show, although Laserbeak or Ravage might have been smaller. He's probably not the smallest Decepticon ever, though--that honor would presumably belong to one of the Micromasters, or maybe one of the weird merchandise-only characters like Enemy. --Andrusi 23:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Italian name(s)

Uh... hrm. The Italian wiki page lists Rumble as Tartar and Frenzy as Scarlet (Tremor), with a note saying Frenzy/Tremor appeared in the live action movie. Meanwhile, an Italian article on the Movie compares Frenzy with his G1 counterpart, shows a screenshot of the blue robot, and identifies it as Tremor/Frenzy. The TF wiki currently lists Rumble as Tremor and Frenzy as Tartar.

Offhand, I can't find anything that says Rumble and Frenzy were actually sold in Italy. Given the evidence... I guess... the blue robot on the show was Tremor, but the Italians consider the blue robot to have been Frenzy? I am so confused. --Monzo 23:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Universe Bio

These guys had bios? And wouldn't this make him explicitly the G1 character? Chip 06:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

They were provided online for the guy who managed the class, and explicitly placed in the Universe storyline. Interrobang 03:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

G1/Universe merge?

Since we're merging all of the slightly different Universe characters, does this one count? —Interrobang 03:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd say so. The specific G2 Frenzy reference clinches it for me. Are all these "unofficial" bios still online? I've Googled around a bit but haven't found anything. - Jackpot 04:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Overkill's. I can't find the other two. They're lost in two years of posts. —Interrobang 04:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Rumble/Frenzy color switch

Without reopening that whole can of worms, I noticed that the G1 cartoon bible only lists Rumble and not Frenzy. Could the mixed up colors have been a result of only using Rumble in the beginning? It looks like an attempt to advertise both toys but only animate one. Frenzy doesn't show up until near the end of the first season and given that they were using plenty of generics, it looks like a conscious descision to exclude him initially. Has anyone ever heard anything about this?

I do believe they cartoon had an official policy to avoid using Buzzsaw, as he was included with Soundwave who was already being advertised with his prominent role. I've never heard anything about the other cassettes, but as they were all sold in two packs it's possible they didn't need to "advertise" all four of them. - Cattleprod 15:36, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Headmasters voice actor help!

A little help from the literate! Rumble's Headmasters voice actor is:

This is from his only speaking role in Headmasters. What's absolutely and completely fascinating, however, is that this is the BLUE ROBOT - and he's actually credited as Rumble, not Frenzy! - Chris McFeely 16:20, 15 November 2009 (EST)
