To get him to safety, Mikaela and Sam hoisted Bumblebee onto an abandoned tow truck, but Bumblebee pushed the AllSpark into Sam's hands, urging him to run while he still could. Soon after Bumblebee and the Autobots arrived in the city, the Decepticons descended in force, with a missile attack from Starscream blowing off Bumblebee's legs. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!' Along the way, when Mikaela wondered aloud why a super-advanced robot turned into a 'piece of crap Camaro', a mildly insulted Bumblebee scanned a passing 2009 Camaro, taking on its sleek and shiny form himself. Afterward, Bumblebee-able only to communicate in sound bites broadcast over his radio-properly introduced himself to Sam and Mikaela, and drove them to nearby Griffith Observatory to watch as the other Autobots he had called upon arrived in the sky overhead. Taking refuge at a deserted chemical plant, Bumblebee revealed his robot form to the two humans so he could engage Barricade in combat, eventually knocked the Decepticon out after a brawl. While fleeing this new threat, Sam ran into Mikaela, and Bumblebee then snatched the pair up and drove them away, with Barricade in hot pursuit. When Bumblebee returned to the Witwicky home the next day, a terrified Sam fled from what he dubbed 'Satan's Camaro', only to wind up being attacked by the Decepticon Barricade, who was also on the trail of the AllSpark.

1.3.2 Schick Hydrobot and the Transformers.

He is also partnered with the Dinobot Strafe, and is brothers-in-arms with fellow Autobot Hot Rod. He is also known as N.B.E.-02, ZB-7, or B-127, and has operated under the codename Goldwheels. Bumblebee's trying his best, but he shows all the signs of a young 'bot forced to grow up too fast, with his impulsiveness sometimes giving the Autobots as much trouble as their adversaries. This stint at leadership isn't exactly going that well, as not only are there barely any surviving Autobots around to lead, not many of them respect his authority.

Though he has these stable forms of communication, Bumblebee would love nothing more than to finally get his voice back someday.Īs the battles on Earth have raged on and more of their old friends have perished in the fighting, Bumblebee has found himself forced to step up as acting Autobot leader whenever Optimus isn't around. He can also communicate with the Autobots' human allies and his friend, Sam Witwicky, by playing audio clips from popular media on his radio.

He would gladly give his life to protect others and stop the Decepticons.īadly damaged in battle, Bumblebee lost the ability to speak verbally, though he can still communicate over inter-Autobot frequencies (in a fashion that seems somewhat akin to instant messaging, a usable but more distant and less personal means of interaction). 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. Hi, kids! I'm the new face of Transformers! Hope you enjoy!īumblebee is one of Optimus Prime's most trusted lieutenants.
