Frenzy - A Transformers Character On Speed

103 26
Frenzy from Transformers is an evil Decepticon that can transform into a cassette.
In the original series his partners are Ravage, Buzzaw and Laserbeak.
Due to changes in his coloration in the later series he is frequently also known to be Rumble.
As for the toy goes, it's tainted indigo although in the animated series he remains gold, black and red.
On the other hand, Marvel remained true to his original colors, leaving them untouched.
Digging a bit deeper into the animated series, Frenzy was inferior to Rumble.
He was like his sidekick, always running besides Rumble.
The legend goes that the TV series mistakenly interchanged the color palettes for both Frenzy and Rumble, a good reason to cause confusion between them.
In the Marvel Universe Frenzy and Rumble are featured as brothers.
Here we see a different Frenzy whose powers are focused in sonic attacks rather than the original spinning arms.
Following the comic, Frenzy was one of the first Decepticons that assaulted the Ark and befell on planet Earth.
That's where he was reconfigured as a cassette and proudly fought many of the early battles versus the Autobots.
However in one of these epic encounters Frenzy was successfully deactivated by Autobot Omega Supreme.
That pretty much tallies up Frenzy's appearance in the US comics version.
Frenzy's real death can be tracked down to the ending issue of the G2 series (Generation 2).
Things came down to an alliance between the Autobots and Decepticons to defeat the common enemy known as The Swarm.
Frenzy's sonic energy was boosted by Wheeljack for his attack, and although this did help slow down The Swarm it was too much for Frenzy.
He fell into pieces due to the incontrollable amount of sonic energy that it took to hold down the swarm.
Decepticon Frenzy the Transformer is widely known because of his appearance in the 2007 Transformers movie.
In this movie Frenzy takes on a different transformation: a small radio that reminds Transformers followers of Soundwave, another Decepticon.
According to the creators it was Soundwave who was to appear in the movie, but because of the exaggerated and sleek design of the robot they had to replace him for Frenzy's character.
Frenzy is portrayed as being a slick and quite thin robot that is constantly in a frenetic loop.
His exact transformation is that of a silver GPX Boom Box featuring blue lights and round shaped speakers.
Around the middle of the movie Frenzy's head falls off, but somehow he manages to survive and takes the form of a cell phone suiting his then smaller self.
Frenzy's role is not that of being an aggressive attacker like most of the other Decepticons in the movie.
Rather he serves as a spy and scavenger, in fact he manages to be the first one to find the AllSpark.
Curiously this frenetic robot takes much more camera time than his allies, maybe because of his hilarious way of speaking accelerated Cybertronian.
