Bumblebee

**Bumblebee** (バンブルビー, *Banburubī*), is a fictional character and protagonist from the *DC* series. He is a young and eager Autobot, one of Optimus Prime's most trusted lieutenants, and also however, one of the smallest and physically weakest Autobots. 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. While his stature allows him to do his job better than most Autobots could manage, he is self-conscious about his size. Maybe this is why he grown to like, understand and makes fast friends among the humans. In befriending the natives, Bumblebee also developed a love for human culture. In some ways, he considers the planet Earth to be his adopted homeworld.

His nicknames are **Bee** (ビー, *Bī*) and **Beeper**.

Although he is not the strongest or most powerful of the Autobots, Bumblebee more than makes up for this with a bottomless well of luck, determination and bravery. He would gladly give his life to protect others and stop the Decepticons. Determined to prove himself, Bumblebee kept fighting even after the Transformers' age-old war spilled over to Earth. He looks up (so to speak) to the other Autobots, especially even Optimus Prime, but what he doesn't realize is that *they* look up to *him*. He may be small, but he's brave, and he's one of the most well-liked Autobots around.

"*Bumblebee, it wouldn't kill you to exercise caution.*"
"*Best take better caution and then anticipate anything.*"
