** Rumble and Frenzy have their colors changed here. While this has always been a point of contention with the fandom; for most of the IDW series, Rumble has been red and Frenzy has been blue. ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW flipped their colors. Their appearance could have been explained as having changed their colors in the present, but here it shows that they were colored that way pre-war. Probably best not to think about it.

He's permanently cast with shadows on him, has numerous SpikesOfVillainy, and his face invokes HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic and resembles a BeardOfEvil. His appearance in [[ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye Shadowplay]] had him in a different and friendlier form, and when he upgraded in Spotlight Orion Pax, he looked like he does now, but being cast in light and a friendlier tone made him look considerably less evil.
