Rumble is like the little scrawny trash-talking punk that hangs out sort of as the mascot to a street gang. He's a fraction of the size of most other Decepticon warriors, but he has one of the largest mouths. He is loud, boisterous, and crude. Being somewhat dim-witted, he uses his abilities for stupid practical jokes. The interesting thing is that Megatron actually likes the little punk quite a bit. And Rumble, for his part, is absolutely loyal to Megatron and eagerly does everything Megatron asks of him (it helps that he isn't too bright.) Being high in Megatron's favor helps Rumble avoid any reprisals from those Decepticons he likes to harass (namely: Starscream.)
Rumble has the surprising ability to convert his arms into piledrivers, which allow him to create localized earthquakes of ferocious intensity. Megatron has used this ability in some very creative ways, including creating tidal waves and activating the inactive volcano which serves as the Autobots' base of operations. Since Megatron's main goal on Earth is to harvest her rich natural resources, Rumble becomes quite useful to the Decepticon cause in many ways. Rumble is near useless in combat, having minimal firepower and little fighting skill (he can't even best Bumblebee.) However, when the Decepticons use his seismic abilities as part of an overall battle strategy, he becomes very useful. He can literally shake the Autobots to pieces given enough time, and if he rattles the Autobots on the ground while the Decepticons strike from the air... well, you don't have to be Prowl to do the math. Of course, one good shot from any Autobot will disable him. And his complete and total stupidity serves him extremely poorly in battle. He's definitely a one-trick kind of Transformer.
18. Frenzy
Function: Warrior
Frenzy is very seldom seen separately from Rumble. He is his counterpart, sort of a brother in a way. He shares most of Rumble's deviant personality characteristics, though perhaps he is not quite as deviant. It's hard to tell, since he hardly ever shows up.
Frenzy has a sort of sonic attack which can serve to distract enemy fighters, setting them up for other Decepticons. And... that's about it. Frenzy has very little firepower and no strength to speak of. Think "cannon fodder."
