Rumble or Frenzy? Frenzy or Rumble? There's no need to make a choice here, as we're about to get both of them. Third Party Perfect Effect, famous for their most recent work on PE-01 Shadow Warrior have done the inevitable. You didn't need to be a rocket scientist to find the similarities between Shadow Warrior and G1 Frenzy and Rumble. With that, the Shadow Warrior has been repainted into a red and blue version, and whether which is Rumble or Frenzy can now be left to the eye of the beholder. Thanks to valued site sponsor RobotKingdom, they've supplied us with a product page and pictures of the two-pack.

This two-pack is set for release in May.

Those molds and paint schemes look great!

What? They repainted their figure that looks like Rumble and Frenzy into Rumble and Frenzy? You don't say! Who could have seen that coming? :roll:

I may pick these up if they're a fair price. I canceled my order of this guy when he originally came out because I heard he was of somewhat poopy quality. So if these guys are a cheaper price but better quality, as unlikely as that may be, I'd be willing to pick them up. But if they're overpriced and crap quality again, I might as well just pick up a blue GF Ramble to with my red Cybertron Scrapmetal and use them as my Classics Rumble and Frenzy.

And the 2-pack skirts the thorny issue of saying which is which! Now that's true genius in action.

RIBFIR all the way, baby.
Anyway, these look fantastic! I've seen a few people repaint their shadow warriors into these guys, but to see an official (though not officially official, third party, and all...) redeco is very nice.

RIRFIB!!

Let the chaos begin!! :twisted:

Honestly, they really need to fix the peg so they can either work as target masters or add-ons to the Commander armors. But who am I kidding, these guys will be in bot mode!

Sign me up, but I'll wait until BBTS puts up a pre-order. Smart move on their part to tease us with the black version first.

Although this is Frenzy and Rumble, I also feel that this is catered to the FansProject Commander sets. The original Shadow Warrior for Shadow Commander, the blue Shadow Warrior for City and the red one for Powered/D.I.A. Commander.

If they really wanted to be clever/diabolical they could have released a blue two pack for CC and a red two pack for DIA. Forcing those of us who just want these for the purpose of being Rumble and Frenzy to buy two sets.

$49.90, of course if you plan on getting them from a domestic retailer (assuming you live in the US) the price will be a little higher.

I was keen when this mould was first previewed, but after seeing the video reviews, and these new pics I am less enthusiastic. For what are essentially fancy targetmaster guns, they are quite expensive. Will have to see what price they put on the 2-pack, they will probably do an anime-accurate rumble repaint too.

Anyone else notice the chestplates are the wrong colour? Both should have black chests. (Except cartoon-Rumble who was purple)

Crap, 2 pack?!

Who wants to split one with me, I take the red, you take the blue?

News Credits: 10 · by **Trikeboy** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 12:09 am

This is why I only bought one PE-01. I found it to be pretty sturdy and it holds together well. The red one (Frenzy, :roll:

) has too much red. The chest piece should be black. A five minute fix though so not too bothered.

I thought Perfect Effect were looking into different alt modes for future releases. Didn't they plan to have five releases? We now have PE-01, PE-02 and PE-03. What could be 4 and 5? Shattered Glass colours (swapped with Eject and Rewind)?

I'm interested, I could use a Frenzy.......

Excellent, this is what I was waiting for. I have heard the quality is a little lacking, and be aware that they are smaller then the original Frenzy and Rumble, IIRC.

But the detail and articulation on these guys looks excellent. Can't wait to pick them up and stick them with DL Ravage and ML Soundwave.

So what you're saying is not only did they create a interest for two "iconic" characters, but they also managed to do so in a way you that you have to buy two x 2 packs to complement your other Commander sets.

As for these guys ... I must be one of the few people who aren't impressed by them. There's just something off about them to me.
