ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON

FUNCTION: WARRIOR
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 1

“Sow panic and surrender will bloom!”

Profile: With a fervor bordering on insanity, Frenzy plunges into conflict
holding back not one molecule of his mechanical being. If it were necessary
for him to breathe, war would be his oxygen. His lust for destruction knows
no cause, no purpose – it only craves the fear it instills in others, the destruction
it leaves in its wake. The other Decepticons appreciate Frenzy’s boldness and
enthusiasm – often this is enough to turn them from beating a hasty retreat
to launching a new offensive. But given his single-minded devotion to violence,
even they find him hard to deal with on a personal level. They have no problem
letting him lead the way into battle.

Abilities: His screaming voice and belligerent manner alone could shake
up an opponent, but Frenzy can enhance this effect by spinning the drum-like
devices in his torso. Rolling the drums against each other produces a high-pitched,
grating sound of up to 200 decibels which can severely disrupt the electrical
flow within the circuits of anyone within earshot, resulting in all sorts of
mechanical malfunctions. He’s particularly adept at disorienting his opponents
by neutralizing their auditory and balance centers.

Weaknesses: Like his brother Rumble, Frenzy’s small stature limits his
physical strength, but his abilities make him difficult to get near. A very
cool, logical reaction to his manic onslaught is often an effective way of countering
his intimidating effect.
