The Franks

The Franks is one of several rival crews in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. These Frankstein's Monster-esque basketball players have control over Versum Hill, alongside their creator and leader, the Flesh Prince.
== Role in the Story ==
Once Red gets set up and becomes part of the Bomb Rush Crew, Tryce explains that they should try to meet with the Franks to help get Faux's head back. He explains that the Franks recently lost a crew battle to DJ Cyber and FUTURISM. As a result, they may be holding a grudge still, and thus be willing to help BRC with tracking down DJ Cyber.
The crew thus head to Versum Hill, where the Franks have set up barricades to keep other people, and presumably other writers, out of the rest of the borough. Red ends up encountering one of the Franks after spraying over their graffiti, who threatens him to get out of their turf.
After getting past the barricades, BRC end up in the main area of Versum Hill, where three Franks members are riding around. Each of them give the player different challenges to complete once enough REP is earned in the borough:
* The member close to the cypher spot near the entrance to this part of the borough challenges you to do a wallride on a nearby billboard after getting 30 REP.
* The member near the stairs at the back of the area challenges you to keep a combo while going down the hill after getting 38 REP.
* The member by the rails near the main area's entrance challenges you to get a x8 multiplier by leaning into all the corners of the rail after getting 45 REP.

In addition, another Frank member will be guarding the way to the hideout with another barricade at the top of the hill. He mentions that he won't let BRC through until they get at least 70 REP.
Once BRC gets enough REP to get into the basketball court at the top of the hill, they finally meet with the leader of the Franks, the Flesh Prince. Tryce explains that the Prince is "a prodigy when it comes to all things meat and metal", being the person who put together the Franks, as well as being the person who gave Red his cyberhead.
Tryce asks if the Prince can give them any info on where DJ Cyber is, but the Prince refuses to say anything about him. One of the Franks proceed to make fun of Red for not knowing his own roots too.
After defeating Rietveld in a boss battle, BRC then challenges the Franks to a crew battle to forcefully get more info about DJ Cyber's whereabouts. Prince agrees under the condition that if the Franks win, then BRC will join with them instead.
However, even after BRC wins, the Prince still refuses to give any info on DJ Cyber. The DJ himself ends up arriving in Versum Hill, alongside the rest of FUTURISM and Vinyl. Since the Prince is refusing to honor the terms of the crew battle that he already agreed to, DJ declares that this breaks the Code of the Street. Thus, the Franks' turf is now forfeited to BRC.
Later on in the game, after beating DOT EXE, Red is shot in the head by a brainwashed Escher. The rest of BRC end up having to track down the Flesh Prince in order to help him. To do so, they have to track down members of the Franks throughout the city to find the Prince's whereabouts.
They start by looking back in Versum Hill, but only find one Frank near the basketball court, selling basketballs at a stand in the corner of the area. He says he doesn't know where the Prince is, but mentions that the other Franks are in Millennium Square.
BRC then track down one of the Franks there who's riding along the street near the Mataan and Pyramid Island entrances. He refuses to give any info at first, but says he'll talk after the player sprays a heaven spot nearby. Once that's done, he points them towards Brink Terminal.
Another Frank member can be found there near the quarter pipes in a raised area of the terminal, on the way to the above-ground plaza. This member admits that the Flesh Prince is in Mataan.
There, yet another Frank member can be found riding around the starting area. Speaking to him makes him mad that BRC have apparently come to mess with the Flesh Prince again. He heads into the underground mall area of this borough, where BRC can find the Prince in his new hideout by sliding into an opening here.
== How to Unlock == 
During the postgame, you can unlock the Franks by finding the member hanging out in Versum Hill. He will specifically be riding around the main area of the borough where the crew battle against them was started. You need to beat his score of 3 million in under 5 minutes to get him to join BRC.
