New CGI Rendered Image of Movie Frenzy

Anyone else expecting to see this guy breakdance? That's the impression I got for some reason.

Not bad at all. Looks deadly in a bony kind of way.

I have prefer that Frenzy was named Soundbyte. It would have been a new character all together. Still I was never a fan of Frenzy, I was more into Rumble. Guess this is why I don't mind that skinny weird freaky thing to be Frenzy.

At least he's not Soundwave.

"Number 5 is alive..."

He looks kind of cool, but what does he transform into?

It's okay, just not as good as Prime or Bumblebee. I like the CD shurikens, though. Nice though.

I really don't like it, but I would like to see it blended in with movie footage before I confirm judgement.

What the hell is that?

Looks like The Order of the Stick version of a minicon.

He looks like a mutilated praying mantis from Order of the Stick...on crack and steroids. That doesn't look like a Transformer at all!

Oh noes, top heavy!

Yeah he looks horrible.

Freaky Deaky!

Might as well post this again...

Okay...

This is, in my opinion, the absolute worst of the movie designs... Ironic, considering Barricade is one of the best. Ah well.

these designs all look like we're seeing the inside of something instead of the outside

How I miss Transmutate

from the looks of the head & the leg design, somebody's been playing waaaaay to much Halo lately.....

He looks like a bunch of forks exploded.

Quite liked it before, but this new pic of the head makes him look more goofy than scary. Oh dear. o.O

Yes, exactly. It's like the designers prefer the skeleton of a TF to the bulky outside. Weird.

it's hard to believe, but this pic looks even worse than the first one.

Looks like an ungodly mess. Get an eraser and start again!

So.... the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future was actually Ratchet all along? It all makes perfect sense now...

Ditch the headdress, and he'll have a chance.

Don't like it at all really.

You know, now that I think about it, if he had one of those Hologram pilots like Blackout, he'd make a pretty cool Pretender.

I stole that idea from another thread. I can't remember ho said it, though.

Somebody dropped a case of nail clippers on the floor? I thought it was supposed to be a pic of a TransFormer?

maybe in toy form, but IIRC, he's supposed to wind up being about 3 ft taller than most people, so it wouldn't work.

YOu know, if he would move his head slightly to the left you could clear up the static on your TV.

Still looks like a chicken skeleton

He's striking a random gang sign!!!!

Nyaa, he's creepy looking. I won't be able to sleep for a week for fear he'll eat my kitty.

But then again I suppose that was the intended effect. o.O

hes an exo-skeleton . he looks really bad, almost worse than starscream

Hold on, so T4 got greenlit?

Seriously though, my FAILURE sense is tingling. I can't believe the sheer amount of crap the Movie people is handing out to us. There's only so much we can take, we can only suspend our disbelieve for so long.

Honestly, I refuse to buy a single Movie figure because I just can't support these terrible designs and decisions (I know that going to see the movie is supporting it somewhat, so I'm hoping I can get free passes from Legends like I did for Borat). I'm just hoping that when the movie is over and done with, that future Generations do not adopt design ideas from the Bayformers, or I might just have to give up collecting modern/new Transformers altogether, which would be a total shame.

Hmmm.......

C-R-A-?

I'd like to buy a "P" please, and I'll solve the puzzle.

"C-R-A-P!!!!!"

83457y, I think you're going overboard. This is one lame Transformer, the other's don't look this bad.

I just hope that this is as bad as it gets. o.O

meh

all i want is some proof that the people making this movie have some clue about tf's but yet again i fail to see it. it's been quite obvious that since the movie is called "transformers", anything that "transforms" is good enough no matter how horrible it looks and who cares about g1 or any sort of legacy or fan opinion.

Again, nothing but utter garbage. I hope that all you guys who are just as disappointed as I am do nothing to support this movie. Don't watch it, don't buy the toys, etc, etc. Otherwise, it will never get better for us again and TF's may as well just die.

I, like so many others, do feel abused as well. Really, I could have done without Cullen if they got some of the other things right. But, as it is, they've done very little for me and so many other hardcore fans, yet they pretend they have.

I'm pretty sickened at this point.

Was Frenzy designed by Pete Doherty? Cause he looks like a walking syringe.

This movie is going to...

Oh, why bother!

There's no use hating Bay anyway.

Thanks for ruining the franchise, Mikey.

Why couldn't you stick to the essence of what made Transformers great?! You just had to take us in a new direction, huh? I honestly haven't liked anything I've seen thus far, boys. Garbage, garbage, garbage!!!

Oh, thanks again, Hasbro, for selling out the G1 fans and offering us more poop.

At least I can still turn to Takara/Tomy for real Transformers.

Jeez!

i said it once and i'll say it again...I refuse to call that THING frenzy. I think i'll cahll him Bob.

now that is the most puny transformer ever if hes not carful it could be over for him in teh film before he even knows it the humans could take him on oh s(*^(&t i see more s&(^*7t thats going to appear in this film what does he transform into metal twig, antenna? does he transform at all.

I like it

Yeah, I said that back when the package pics of Barricade showed up. I imagine something akin to Zeta Project. As far as his height, he has enough articulation and little enough mass that he could probably scrunch to match personas of differing heights...

Actually, much more the opposite, sadly. If we don't support the movie, TF's could be deemed unprofitable on the whole, & the entire toyline would slip away into obscurity.

It's a double-edged sword, really. If we do support it, Hasbro makes money, they put more focus on TFs & we get a shitload of toys, albeit most of them will be based off of these horrific designs. If we don't support it.....well, I already mentioned what would happen then.

Something odd about business execs: when people stop buying into a product, instead of even attempting to try to figure out what went wrong & make it better, they just assume nobody likes it anymore & move on to the next potential goldmine, throwing the older product to the wayside. It happens when a toyline dosen't sell, when a TV show dosen't get the intended ratings....hell, it happens when people start favoring one flavor of ice cream instead of another.

So basically, we have a choice to support grabage in hopes that the garbage will later get filtered out to some degree....or we can choose not to support it, & the good stuff gets thrown out with said garbage.

Yeah that's about the sum of it, eh?

As for "Frenzy", man he looks like an evil pointy metallic turd. I'd hate to pass that through my colon.

Creepy and crappy

The body I can deal with, I dont like it, it looks like someone threw some metal rods and razors together in a humaniod form, but it isnt the worst design we've seen.
The head however is yet another abomination.

That is awesome.

I know!! He's a swiss army knife!!!!

If he really ends up being 6 or 7 feet tall, then he really had no choice but to be extremely skinny....how could a stereo system otherwise end up transforming to be that tall?

On the other hand, I'll betcha he'd make one heck of a Cuisanart...that's it! He's a Salad Shooter!

Don't like it. And I've been in favor of most of the movie designs. Don't like it at all...looks WAY to fragile. Scary, yes. Tough, no way.

Or on the other hand if we don't support the movie and Hasbro moves on them the demand for Transformers will go down and thus so will the prices, something I am hoping for since I plan on building up my G1 collection during the movie run, thus causing vintage TF's to become a commodity on E-bay and other internet stores. Hasbro seeing the upswing in TF sales will be roused into taking another look at the Transformers brand and more importantly what is moving on the net. This is a long term view and might take quite a few years but in the end the results will be worth it.
