Rumble (WFC)
| The name or term "Rumble" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Rumble (disambiguation). |
- Rumble is a Decepticon Minicon from the War for Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.
As a loyal Minicon warrior under Soundwave's command, Rumble loves using his quake-producing armament to shake up the opposition. Though he is most often found by the side (or rather, inside) of his powerful commander, Rumble can be a surprisingly effective warrior on his own, throwing even warriors like Sideswipe and Optimus for a tumble!
He is blue!

- Voice actor: Keith Silverstein (English)
Following the defeat of Zeta Prime in the Iacon Vaults, the Autobot leader was transferred to Kaon prison facility where he was tortured by Soundwave. In the hopes of luring Optimus to Kaon, Megatron and Soundwave orchestrated events that allowed Zeta Prime to send a message to the Autobots revealing of his survival. Even though the Autobots recognized it for the trap it was, Optimus nevertheless led Bumblebee and Sidewipe allowing themselves to be captured and briefly imprisoned. They broke free, releasing all of the other Autobots in the prison and fought their way to Soundwave's laboratory. Soundwave protected himself behind an impenetrable forcefield and unleashed Rumble, Frenzy, and Laserbeak upon the Autobots. Any attempt by Optimus and his team to free Zeta was met with a gleeful attack by Rumble and his compatriots. However, when they received damage, Soundwave was forced to leave his protective shield to administer repairs, leaving him open to attack. Eventually, Soundwave and his minions were soon overwhelmed and had to retreat but not before mortally wounding Zeta Prime. Transformers: War for Cybertron
Notes
- Rumble and Frenzy are described as communicating in coded beeps in Exodus, but we are told that they can speak normally when they choose to.
