***FRENZY MEMBER OF THE DECEPTICON***Frenzy appears in the 2007 live-action Transformers movie directed by Michael Bay. 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.
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 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.
Although his small size makes him useless in battle against the Autobots, Frenzy proves irreplaceable to the Decepticons as he single-handedly found the All Spark and reported its location to the other Decepticons. The character is thus given a great deal more screen time than the other Decepticons. However, he constantly speaks in fast Cybertronian, and is often damaged in battle.
According to the voice actor, these were the only English words spoken by Frenzy in the film, although he can be heard saying a few other intelligible English words throughout the movie (eg. “Megatron melting!”, “Witwicky”, “Megatron! Megatron! Megatron!”, “oh shit”). Michael Bay also stated on the DVD commentary most of Frenzy’s words are “Tutankhamen” said very fast.
