Creepy little bastard, eyen toned-down for toy form. If the Real Gear bots have nightmares, this is what they must look like... I like the CD-launcher gimmick he looks to have, and the transformation looks pretty impressive... But the head and arms? Still freakin' unnerving.

What everybody else said, plus I don't really like it. I thought he was gonna be Barricade's front grill. I guess there are multiple frenzy's?

Yeah, but how can you tell? I mean, they're both the same color! :lol:

But more important that that, we have to remember- these toys and character designs will be LONG remembered by the "little kids" of THIS year. Imagine what it would have been like if WE had a Live action Transformers movie of this caliber to watch after Star Wars on those long Saturday afternoons when dad was out mowing the lawn and mom was busy grocery shopping...

Not to pick, but we really don't know how good the movie is until we see it. I'm very much looking forward to it though, and will hopefully see it on the first showing(it is my birthday as well after all :grin:

).

As for the figure, there's a certain charm to it. I do think it's novel that for the first time ever Transformers are being designed like the giant alien robots they really are.

I'm afraid I have to agree - it does seem to match well to what we've seen - and we ALREADY KNOW the design asthetic is a huge departure from what came before. So why not judge this thing on its own merits rather than on our own impossibly high standards?

i think it kicks ass, many G1 toy really suck more than this (ironhide/Ratchet)

He's ugly, that's for sure. I dunno though, he's got a kind of charm to him. My wife saw him and thought he was awesome, so I guess I'm getting him.

It isn't as bad as the figure that comes with Barricade but it isn't a whole lot better. Based on from what little you can see of him in the "Hidden" trailer he looks a lot better than this which makes me wonder why they couldn't have made a better looking toy.

IGN has a high res version of the trailer. He pops up about 5 seconds in:

That boombox looks awesome, otherwise he sucks.

Still, it looks like a battery cover on his back, I hope he does something cool.

Well now, that's just ugly.
Heck it actully makes megs look better....

by **Rijie** » Tue May 01, 2007 6:02 pm

It's actually kind of endearing in its overall ugliness.

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Tue May 01, 2007 6:08 pm

I like it. I can't wait to buy one.

Oh and about the Frenzy/Barricade thing...he *IS* Barricade's radio and partner, but he can get in where no other Decepticon can.

Plus he's his own robot, so he can take missions on his own. He just gets around a lot, that's all.

by **Swerve** » Tue May 01, 2007 6:20 pm

Would people be more or less apt to buy him if it was not called Frenzy but marketed as "Transformable Poop in a Box"?

Epic failure. This Frenzy guy just can't catch a break!

Alt mode is nice and clean, worthy of being in the "real Gear" line even.
The robot mode is plain horrible, one of the worst we have seen, even more horrible than the Big "M". Its like they decided that these figures do not need proportion, as long as they have claws or other "attacky" things on them...

News Credits: 409 · by **Stormrider** » Tue May 01, 2007 7:08 pm

Ugh... Absolutely horrible. Another great example that the Decepticons will be portrayed as monsters in this movie.

The alt. mode looks cool but the robot mode is horrendous.

The robot mode is brilliant imo. A nice departure from the boring designs we've been getting lately with Armada, Energon, Cybertron and Classics. Those who want humanoid robots should stick to Barbies and GI Joes and pretend they transform.
