'''Rumble''' is a [[fictional character]] from the [[GoBots]] series introduced in 1985. He is usually depicted as a heroic and friendly messenger for the Guardian GoBots. Although the Renegade GoBots can also use Rumble Boomers, none have specifically been depicted in fiction.

==GoBots==
Boomer Rumble should not be confused with Transformers characters like the Nebulan named [[Boomer (Transformers)|Boomer]] or the Decepticon named [[Rumble (Transformers)|Rumble]]. Rumble Boomers can fly in space.

===Animated series===

Several Rumble Boomers appeared in episode 65 "[[Mission GoBotron]]" as part of the Guardian GoBot force acquiring materials to help build GoBotron.

A Guardian Rumble Boomer and Renegade Blast Boomer appeared together in a commercial for their toys. The commercial incorrectly depicted Rumble with Blast's red message ball, and vice versa.<REF>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeaAFc_1ZiI</REF>

===Comics===
====Fun Publications====

=====Cataclysmverse=====
In the story ''[[Cultural Appropriation]]'' by [[Fun Publications]] it was revealed that large numbers of Guardian and Renegade weapons, including Rumble units, remain on Level 1 while the various GoBot and Rock Lord teams explore other Levels.

=====Rhetoricverse=====
The [[Fun Publications]] stories describe Rumble Boomers as a drone mostly used by the Guardians. They are more heavily armored, but with less firepower than the Blast models usually used by the Renegades. Rumble Boomers are often seen defending the [[GoBotron Fortress]].

Guardian Boomers appeared in the ''[[Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric]]'' episode 7-8 "[[The Hawks of Space]]". In the story Space Hawk factories were heavily defended by Guardian Boomer units.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=The Hawks of Space|episodelink= |series= Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|serieslink= Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|credits= Written by Jim Sorenson |network= |station= |airdate= September 24, 1986 & September 25, 1986/October 19th, 2015 |season= 1|number= 7 & 8}}</ref>
