 | | | New Transformer Prop at Princeton Shoot for Transformers Sequel | | Posted on 06-25-2008 at 07:18 AM by Tim Formas | RSS Feeds | princetonphotog stopped by our 2005 Boards to share a photograph taken outside Dillon Gymnasium at Princeton University during the filming of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The image features an unknown Transformer tearing through a silver car. The character's size seems to be similar to that of Frenzy from the first movie. Could this be one of Soundwave's minions or just another small Decepticon like Frenzy? Nothing is known at this time, but speculate away by hitting the Discuss button!
There is also video of the Transformer in motion, which can be seen here on YouTube.

Dinobot Nuva:
Doesn't look exactly like Frenzy, especially the head, but WOW, that looks awesome.
DN
Lone_Decepticon:
Yeah, it doesnt look like Frenzy at all. Hopefully, its one of Soundwave's minions! Hmmm...kind of looks like it has a dragon face or something of that nature.
Soundwave84:
nice very nice~!~~~
JOHNDILLINGA:
I think Frenzy had his head sliced in half in TF1, This new mode could be the result of the damage he suffered.
Starscream NZ:
It's Rumble!
MythofBlackout:
Freaky.
Looks like he turns into an engine which probably means TF2 will be doing the "chestbuster" routine from Alien just with a car instead of a person.

Could it be Rumble? I just hope it's not Ravage! rikkuluverx2: Quote:

Scourgatron:
Witwicky! Witwicky! anasumba seeka OI OI!
Beastbot X:
Looks like Frenzy crossed with Medusa. LIKE.

NGW:
Laserbeak? Ravage? Rumble?
Or maybe just another result of dispersed allspark energy.
Either way...sick.

-rikkuluverx2 | Hummm...I'm having a hard time depicting a shape that looks anything like a head, face, or Ravage likeness at all......help me...??
Razerwire:
I think the head's further down. It's faceplanted in the glass. Dunno if that's an upgraded Frenzy head or a different character.
I'll try to get a pic up circling where his head is. ***EDIT*** NGW:
I see what you're saying Razerwire, but I think what you're seeing is part of the chest or something.
There are definitely similar qualities to Frenzy, but a lot of it seems very different. And I can make out a distinct head, and it is rather beastial in nature.

He has mandibles...
Master Fwiffo:
I think you've got the identification wrong. Here's some features highlighted for yas. http://img92.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rumblekl6.jpg
His head is pretty clear - he has 'eyes', and mandibles (like Frenzy's, but thicker). Instead of Frenzys head-crest, he has tentacle-like Dreadlocks. His neck looks like a spinal cord, and his chest is that large thing on the hood.
NGW:
Still gotta say, my best guess is Laserbeak or...something completely different (i.e. not a Casseticon). Doubt it is Frenzy unless he got a major overhaul (could happen). Don't personally expect Rumble out of the films myself. Ravage I am still thinking is more than likely that Spider/trike that was seen a time back. Of those options Laserbeak just seems the most likely. I can see some somewhat avian features to it. Though the medusa hair kinda has me...though it could be..in a sense like a crown of feathers >_>. The face really strikes me as birdlike, and Laserbeak indeed was my first reaction to it, the jaw espescially.

I was just going off of the one image.
Edit: Watched the vid. Has similar movements to Frenzy, however I don't feel that it's enough to necessarily determine who it is.
Scourgatron:
If its Frenzy then, cool that he got a better looking robot mode.
Skywave:
So this is what "Wheel" will looks like!
I have no clue who it might be actually Turnpike:
That is one FREAKY bot. Interesting Medusa-Hair that thing is sporting.

Scourgatron:
It might be the gwunner inside me but, I really hope that isnt ravage or laserbeak
NGW:
I'd rather hope it isn't Ravage, as I still have hopes for him either being the trike we saw or a motorcycle of some sort.
Depending on how the rest of it looks, I wouldn't mind it as Laserbeak though.
Harbinger:
i would put my bets on ravage or rumble. now this video?
darthrage:
yeah lets not assume that it is Frenzy. Do you really think Bay or the writers would want to bring back the least favorite Decepticon when there are so many more characters to introduce?
Incepticon:
I dunno. I personally don't see them introducing a character like Rumble only to make him look nearly identical to Frenzy, regardless of how similar they were to each other in G1. My guess is that this is a revived, slightly more insane version of Frenzy since it seems a little stupid to make another small, silver, machine-like gremlin looking thing and try to pass it off as an entirely new character.
Takara_destron:
It looks pretty cool whatever it is!
Magelite:
Methinks it's Rumble and he's out for revenge for his bro.
Herr_Kryo:
i have the bad feeling this will be ravage. as someone said it would be stupid to make a new little robot like frenzy.......mmmh. we had transformers who barely spoke the whole movie, an apescream......so what. nothing new over there.
skidz180:
I hope it's laserbeak or ravage. If it's a bird I really don't care if it's buzzsaw or laserbeak, or hell even ratbat. I hope it's an animal cassette and I really hope it doesn't talk...
RedAlert Rescue:
I think his head is the part looking through the window with the tenticles as hair you can see his eyes quite clearly and also his backbone.
So I think the intially hi-lighted part is his chest.
Whatever he is though, he's really very small.
dinobotdude44:
it probably is ravage, robert orci mentioned that he was possiblyin the script
ministargazer:
in my opinion it could be Ravage, there is a certain animalistic look to it
to assist with identifying it I've tried to enhance what I've interpreted as the head neck and dreads...
And I've colorized it a bit here...
Red = Dreadlocks/Hair things.
Yellow = Neck
I've left the face alone &
blue for the eye GAUGE0001:
I'm thinking it's Ravage or a Brand new Character entirely.

Thundercrackah:
This little guy doesn't have to be one of Soundwave's minions.
Could easily be just another random midget 'Con like Frenzy was.

And I can't see this as being anyone but Rumble. Why so many people can pass it off as not being him yet be convinced it's either Ravage or Laserbeak is down right confusing. Why wouldn't Bay make Frenzy's brother look nearly identical to him?

Spoiler:
I would be leaning towards Ravage or Rumble.
Chaos Prime:
Whatever it is it looks freaky.
I really wish I was a bit craftier of a photographer, becasue I've been trying to get a decent shot at Princeton, I just haven't been able too...
