The debate revolves around the colors of the Decepticon Mini-Cassettes, Rumble and Frenzy. It was Hasbro's intent that Rumble be black and red, and Frenzy be two shades of blue. These color schemes are used in the toyline, Marvel Comics and many storybooks and ancillary media from the early years of Generation 1, and naturally, it was intended for the cartoon series to render the characters in this manner as well (as proven by the show's production bible, which identifies Rumble as the "red robot").
However, as a result of some unspecified error somewhere in production, the two robots had their color schemes swapped, leaving the animated incarnation of Rumble blue, and Frenzy red

Which do you Prefer?
If I had to pick...
As a fan of the Cartoon, I prefer to think of Rumble as Blue, & Frenzy as Red, because that is how I am used to identifying them...
In addition, Frenzy wasn't featured as often as Rumble... and when the Decepticons needed someone to shake things up, Soundwave always ejected "Rumble" for that particular task...
Also, The name "Frenzy" just doesn't make me think of him using his pile drivers to do that... if you know what I mean...
Now, If the animators had correctly colored the robots and they still used "Rumble" all the time, well, clearly, I would think differently...
But then again, there wouldn't be this debate, would there?
However, I really just try to go with the flow, depending on which entertainment medium depicts the characters...
