    I enjoyed Frenzy... he brought humor without being a stupid oaf character. He was incredibly skilled and efficient in his role of the story and he showed personality in his actions which I thought was great. His sneaking across the parking lot, smashing the computer screen, his little 'jog' before he charged sam and the middle finger. It was like a living personality in a robot body and not just a robot automaton.

    I enjoyed him and wish he would have returned in the next one. I don't see how you can compare him to jarjar at all. (though I do enjoy jarjar more as the years go on, I love him in the new clone wars series)

    He didn't mean to take himself out... they spun right back around and got him just as he was checking to see if he had taken out the humans.

    I thought he was a loathsome little tossbag and a complete throwback to the days when filmmakers felt the need to make even the minor villians in films somehow appealing or 'comedic'.

    Oh hang on, that's still happening...

    Disney have a lot to answer for.

    Ayup, 'tis the Daft Punk; I was listening to it like crazy after watching a Gap Commercial that featured it on YouTube. Digital Love is surreal.

    Frenzy in the movie was cool...I do admit that, I enjoyed watching him use CD Blades to kill those agents on Air Force One, then the whole head smashing the monitor when he got cut off was funny.

    Scorponok wasn't suppose to speak at all. But Bonecrusher, Brawl, and Blackout "spoke" in Cybertronian, which was subtitled. Still, I can't help but agree... not having them speak, at least in English, was a bit of a put down. Hopefully the 'Cons in ROTF would be given the opportunity to speak.

    Exactly!

    Whoa, there! It's annoying when people put words in your mouth.

    I agreed that Frenzy was annoying. I never said I didn't find him amusing or entertaining. His name is "Frenzy" after all -- even before I saw the movie, I figured he'd be the comic reliefbot.

    Just to be clear, I didn't put any words in your mouth. You said "Pretty much sums up my feelings as well" about the claim that Frenzy was "some horrific love child" of a Jawa and R2D2 that was raised by Jar Jar Binks. If that sums up your feelings, then I disagree with your feelings. Since I'm the only one that referred to you in this thread, I am guessing you are accusing me of putting words in your mouth, but I didn't.

    I think Frenzy got the short end of the stick when it came to his death. For being a major transformer in the movie, having more screen time than most of the Autobot's put together, he dies by his own hand. Where is the justice? At least Bay got a larf out of him that's all that matters right?:rolleyes2 

    And the one thing that bugs me about him is why are his eye's blue if he's evil?

    Sure, Frenzy can be an acquired taste but there are far more annoying characters out there.

    But it's okay, IGN. You've been on my personal "most annoying website of the day" for the last couple years, so it all breaks even.

    Frenzy was great. A sneaky, psychotic little bastard. Awesome.
    Tubby hacker guy, on the other hand? He needs an "Annoying character of the decade" page.

    Frenzy was annoying as hell, but he was funny in his own way! The part where he gets out of Air Force One and holds his hands in front of his face in order to not get recognized was brilliant. It's the same stupid thing we humans do that just never works anyway. :lol

    As fan of tfs I'd say "WTF" but as a person who just likes the movies i'd say "...they're right"
