Dave's Transformer Rant: Go-Bot Frenzy

     Well, Raksha beat me to the shipment that hit Columbus, so all that was 
left was Frenzy.  Fortunately, that's the one I most wanted to get. }->
     To begin with, this version of Frenzy is not really purple.  Frenzy is 
more of a maroon (but you all knew that already, yes?).  Seriously, he's more 
reddish than bluish, although he has nice lavender arms and collarbone.

DECEPTICON: Frenzy
Function: Warrior
"Sow panic and surrender will bloom."

     Lives to fight, fights to live.  Despite lack of strength, manages to 
spread fear and leave destruction in his wake.  Disrupts electical flow in 
Autobot circuitry, causing major malfunctions in their defense processors.  
Fellow Decepticons respect his efforts, and envy his courage.

     Rank 8????  I certainly hope the new Soundwave has at least Rank 9 then, 
or Frenzy'll be (more) insufferable!  Overall, his color job is pretty good.
He has the Blow Out/Megatron body type, with black body and silver 
undercarriage/legs.

     As for the other color jobs: I don't have the toys yet, and Frenzy's
actual color suggests that the group picture on the card is less than accurate,
but I'll give a go on evaluating the colors of the others from the card.
     Bumblebee: Heavy chrome gold, like the G2 minibot version.  High Beam body
type.  Overall look reminds me of the Gold One Hotwheels car from my childhood.
     Mirage: Black and yellow with red accents, looks VERY good.  Double Clutch
body type.
     Ironhide: Mildly sparkly silver like Megatron.  Body is blue and legs red,
for a weird semi-patriotic effect.  Motormouth pickup truck type.
     Soundwave: Doesn't look as hideous as people say (although it looks pretty
bad).  Perhaps they messed it up some more between prototype and final version.
I mean, at least it's not Nightracer yellow....  Gearhead body type.
     Sideswipe: Blue with black body and yellow legs.  Not bad.  Firecracker
body type.
