Frenzy (Transformers) - Transformers

Transformers

Frenzy appears in the 2007 live-action Transformers movie. He takes on the stealth spy role that was originally Soundwave's. The movie's creators have stated that the character design had evolved too far from being Soundwave. Also, during production he was preliminarily named Boombot and Soundbyte.

In the film, Frenzy is small, and very thin, standing at 1.2 m (around 4 feet) tall. It is implied that he is also lightweight, given the ease with which a stewardess on Air Force One is able to pick him up while in his alternate mode. His alternate mode is shown as a silver GPX boombox, with round speakers and blue diode-lights. At one point, he is decapitated and survives as just his head, scanning and taking the form of a mobile phone belonging to Mikaela to continue his task. His weapons include a small automatic weapon on each hand and CD-like shurikens that fire out of his chest. His character is manic (living up to his name), sometimes comedic, and he is the only Decepticon with blue colored optics, rather than the usual red.
