'Second Hand: Frankie's Revenge' Shows Off Some Customization Options

by Rainier on May 22, 2019 @ 5:27 p.m. PDT

Second Hand: Frankie's Revenge is a multiplayer robot action game where you'll craft your own makeshift Frankie bot and go chassis-to-chassis against alien-controlled robots in action-packed brawls.

Players will craft their own makeshift Frankie bots and roll out in a quest to cause a rebellious ruckus! Those who master the skills of bolting together scrap parts will engage in furious combat — solo or with up to three allies locally or online — against an onslaught of alien-controlled robotic renegades!

Cast aside and ready to rise from the ashes of the junkyard, BAMF-bot Frankie is out for revenge against the robots controlled by megalomaniacal aliens that threaten his world of machines. Players use whatever parts are at their fingertips (or at the bottom of the dumpster) to turn their battle-bot into a menacing fighting force.

Ferocious Chainsaw arms? Oh yeah! Heavy-duty fridge body? Yes, please! Teams of up to four can smash their way through missions to crush the hoards of oppressive alien automatons.


To prepare players to go chassis-to-chassis in action-packed brawls against alien-controlled robots, we’re hitting the lights and activating the assembly line for a junkyard fashion show — showcasing but a few examples of how players can customize their own makeshift Frankie-bots and wreak mechanical mayhem!

Disco Frankie: This Frankie is devilishly handsome and in as much in love with this ‘70s chic “lewk” as he is with money and the honeys. A royal purple paint job and gold accessories for that extra splash of elegaaaaanza accentuate his washing machine-based body. Propellors, coupled with a fierce leopard print shrug, make him steal the spotlight from the other Frankies. His presence demands respect and his katana and boxing glove ensure he receives it. When he’s not beating down aliens, he is — quite literally — boogieing down the battlefield. 

The Bride: Here comes the bride! This ravishing Frankie has an electric personality thanks to her defibrillator head. She enters the battle with a smile on her face, joy in her heart, and alien robot murder on her mind. She’s ready to dish out doses of both love and pain, as she brandishes her super glue gun – to keep her prey right where she wants them – and trusty machine gun arms. With a body as hot as a boiler and temper to match, she’s the whole package!

General Frankie: Atten-TION! General Frankie is tough as lead and cold-hearted when it comes to his tactics on the grease-soaked battlefield (and that’s not just because he’s 50% nuke-proof fridge). Camouflaged and ready to issue some major malfunctions to some numb-nut aliens, the General is armed with a super glue gun arm and badass baton — making him ready to knock a screw loose when needed. His all-terrain tread-legs enable him to deploy anywhere, anytime.

Steampunk Frankie: This dapper Frankie is a gentleman to his friends and a real steamy punk to his enemies. His chainsaw and modified flashlight (which shoots frickin’ lasers) dish out damage up close and from afar. And thanks to his lawnmower legs, he can close gaps with a flash. Talk about a class act!

Second Hand: Frankie’s Revenge will be available for PC through Steam Early Access on May 28 and will receive periodic content updates in the form of new robot parts and game modes.

Key Features:

  • Robot Crushing Combat: Frankie brings the thunder through challenging, satisfying, top-down perspective combat. Players must master unique part skills and devise strategies to survive the onslaught of vicious enemies such as Senior Cleaners, Formen, Boilees, or big, bad bosses, Juicy Joe and Le Kraque.
  • Customize Machines of Carnage: With dozens of parts to choose from, each with their own distinct look, attributes, and abilities, players can create a robot warrior to fit their own playstyle. Wack enemies with a tennis ball launcher, repair damage quickly with a defibrillator head, tank for the team with a boiler body — anything to become the ultimate gear-crunching bot.
  • Home is Where the Microprocessor is: Strategize in The Hideout, the player’s personal headquarters. Players can deck it out in the finest scraps and junkyard treasures to give it that homely feel, perfect for conjuring up the most oil-thirsty revenge plots.
  • Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Although the mass of mechanical meanies may seem daunting, local and online co-operative gameplay with up to four players helps cut them down to size with ease.
