Bumblebee

**Bumblebee** is a young and eager Autobot, a member of the last generation to be created before the loss of the AllSpark. He's full of energy and determination to do the right thing, and can always be counted on to volunteer for action. His small size, matched with his impressive speed, made him an excellent scout and messenger on war-torn Cybertron. Grievously injured and rendered mute by Megatron during the war for Cybertron, Bumblebee was haunted by the loss of his voice box for many years, creating a ruthless streak at odds with his otherwise friendly personality. Determined to prove himself, Bumblebee kept fighting even after the Transformers' age-old war spilled over to Earth.

Unflinchingly loyal to the Autobot cause, **Bumblebee** possesses boundless amounts of bravery and loyalty, in spite of his physically unintimidating stature. His affable nature means that he's quick to befriend almost anyone, particularly humans.

## Personality

Bumblebee is a quiet and a very playful Autobot. He seems to never bother his teammates at all and even the human kids look up to him. Despite his nice demeanour, Bumblebee holds a burden in him, due to Megatron ripping out his voice box during his time back on Cybertron. Bumblebee doesn't realize that he doesn't have to prove anything to his teammates and that they all see him as a valuable member of the Autobots. He seems to posses some irresponsibility problems as he jumped on the chance to engage in illegal street racing and disobey some of Optimus's orders.

Despite his long history with the Autobots, Bumblebee wanted to take the ultimate step and gain the courage to be bold. He didn't realize however, that he had already become bold on his own and was looked at highly by the other Autobots. Bumblebee's biggest challenge is convincing himself that he is the only one that sees him unfit to carry out tasks in the Autobots' missions. Despite being a soldier, Bumblebee is still young by Cybertronian standards and has the mind set of 12-16-year-old child. It has been implied by Arcee that Bumblebee watches Earth cartoons on Saturdays. However, when the situation calls for it Bumblebee can become very serious.

Bumblebee got his voice back after getting revived by the Cybermatter and killing Megatron with the Star Saber in Deadlock.

After gaining his wish of becoming a full pledged warrior, Bumblebee began to mature through his outlook as with the threat of Unicron approaching Cybertron and with Optimus unavailable, Bumblebee reluctantly took on the role of leader of the Autobots where he managed to gain the Predacons trust in Predacons Rising.

Later, Bumblebee is far more serious and mature, despite his fame as a war hero and despite being a high ranking police officer, he is a humble peacekeeper, just like in Predacons Rising. On an another positive note, Bumblebee is reluctant to be a leader. He frequently trys to rally his troops with a battle cry to impress them, no avail. He shows signs of trepidation when he acted like a leader and fears letting his former mentor Optimus Prime down. However, despite his reluctance, he maintains control and demonstrates optimism and trust with his new team.
