Rumble & Frenzy: Duo of Chaos
Rumble and Frenzy are among the most famous Decepticon Mini-Cassettes in the Transformers universe. Freed by Soundwave himself, they are known for their explosive behavior, their absolute loyalty to the Decepticons, and above all, their ability to cause devastating earthquakes. Skilled in diversion, chaos, and special missions, they are indispensable in the Cybertronian War.
