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.

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 shitty 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.

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?

Re: Perfect Effect PE-01 FR (Frenzy and Rumble) Shadow Warrior Two Pack Revealed (1063827)
Posted by Trikeboy on April 12th, 2010 @ 1:09am CDT

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)?

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.

Re: Perfect Effect PE-01 FR (Frenzy and Rumble) Shadow Warrior Two Pack Revealed (1063846)

Essentially yes. This design was made for the FansProject Commander, as you can tell by the small Shadow Warrior by Shadow Commander's feet.

Well, I already ordered for the Shadow Warrior, so maybe I can try to get this when it comes May. I think Rumble (the blue guy) is a nice blue, and Frenzy is an awesome shade of red. Other than that, yeah, I would totally buy these boogers! :lol:

How much was Shadow Warrior when he first came oout? It's $36+ at BBTS right now, so I am hopeful that 2 of them are not $75 bucks, that's quite a lot for two oversized mini-cons.

I sure hope they've refined/fixed the posts for these so they can actually be useful in their alt mode. I'm not holding my breath though.

In any case, I'll probably pick these up. They make cool updates to Rumble/Frenzy. I just hope that I get a pair with nice paint apps. From what I've read/watched, the paint can be inconsistant.

Shadow Warrior is an excellent mold that kicks the ass of everthing done with mini-cons and targetmasters before it (the PCC mini-cons don't count yet)

The only question is how much will this 2 pack cost? Hang on... HOLY CRAP! :shock:

It's only $50! For two!

On one hand: awesome

On another: way to milk us the first time around #-o

No; that's mean, the first run probably paid for these guys to come so much cheaper.

Sweet! Shadow warrior was cool, but these 2 close the deal. Good thing I didn't get the original. Though I wonder if it's possilbe to get them idividualy in the future. I think Rumble looks better with the pile drivers.

BBTS is US domestic, Robotkingdom is in Hong Kong. You are going to pay for them to be shipped somehow. BBTS has to get them from Japan to the US. HK has to chip them from their warehouse to you in the US.

The funny thing about all this RIBFIR RIRFIB talk (I'm more for the latter but thats just me.), if you go on the link and look at the cannon mode mock-up it clearly has them listed as "Warrior type-F" and "Warrior type-R". So officially the Red is Rumble and The Blue is Frenzy. Sorry to burst all of your Bubbles. :grin:

I like them though I wish the chest on the both of them were more G1 accurate.

Also, I agree with a few others on if these guys would be a good buy or not with this mold being fragile.

Now that's the colors they should have been done in though I guess those of us who cannot paint have to deal with these. :-(
