Bumblebee is a sexy yellow musical Camaro with deep inadequacy issues, a formal voice with a British accent, and a high taste for low humor. He's from the 2007 live-action Transformers movie, which is the most depressing Transformers canon that the mun has ever seen. She plays him from the movie and the prequel comic that goes with it, though not from the movie comic or the movie novels because she hasn't read them.

She will also be copy-pasting Bumblebee's history from things she has written up elsewhere, because she is lazy. She will have to explain some stuff about plot first for that to work, so here we go.

TF2007 is about the last remnants of the strange transforming metal people race of Cybertronians from Cybertron fighting for the Allspark, which gave metallic very complex life to their world. The Decepticons, who are jerks, wanted to use its power to take over the world - they had just recently formed into a large and well-armed army of discontents at the beginning of the prequel comic, and were led by the scary scary Megatron. The Autobots, in contrast, just wanted to hang out.

THE PREQUEL COMIC: Bumblebee, unnamed so far and not yellow but recognizable, is a kid of generations of total peace. "A killer instinct, it seems, is learned...not born," he says. Prime obviously thinks that the ABSOLUTE BEST GUY to confide the real location of the Allspark to is this n00b, so that he can knowingly lead a bunch of comrades into death to distract Megatron at Tyger Pax while Prime's launching the Allspark at...I think Simfur. "Me, I thought they had at least the right...to know when they were going to die," points out Bee, but does not reveal it to them! One guy under his command pleads "Just tell me one thing. What we're doing here, now, it makes a difference, right?" "Right. I hope..." Bumblebee is OUT OF HIS LEAGUE, FOLKS.

Later, Megatron gets there and blusters around threatening people. A couple die, I think. Bee does some N00BISH HERO TALK to distract Megatron and gets a smackdown - it is really painful to watch his obvious inexperience! Prime launches the Spark, Bee attacks Megatron to keep him from reacting right away, Megatron yells NOOOOO, Bee works on some weak hero gloats, and Megatron crushes his neck with one hand and storms off into the upper atmosphere to try to catch the thing. Bee angsts that if he were a REAL hero he would have actually stopped Megatron rather than return a lump of immobile metal to his friends. He is also nervous about the fact that now we will WAR ON OTHER WORLDS. I He is tired of war.

Bumblebee landed on Earth in Virginia in 2003 and skedaddled from the landing site within ten minutes, the amount of time it took for Sector 7 goons to get there. He TRANSFORMS into a piece of shit Camaro and runs for it! Unfortunately, the Sector 7 goons NOTICE THIS. Wow, he is still getting the dangerous missions for which he is unprepared! What a surprise.

...Bumblebee begins listening to cheesy music on the radio almost immediately. He is such a DORK. "Yeah, I've been looking for a girl like you..." His looking up the information on the Iceman project has a theme! "And I haven't found what I'm looking for..." "Who, who, who are you? I really needta know..." THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER, they have still not fixed his voicebox from the throat-crushing. You take good care of your people, Prime. Really. Simmons is going after Bee with some kind of "bait." It apparently gives off almost the same radiation as the Cube. Unfortunately, Bee is not taking the bait. He is looking for Sam.

By now, though, he is really freaking beat up from offroading to avoid pursuit. "No one said it would be easy, but no one said it would be this hard. No one said it would be easy, no one thought we'd come this f-" he comments, then cuts off, perhaps because Optimus Prime TOTALLY expected him to get this far, or was sentencing him to certain death! And good leaders don't do that, right? "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down!" he decides. Sam is young and an idiot at this time.

Now Barricade is here and chasing Bee, who beats on him and makes a break for it! Actually, the WHOLE GANG is here, and they are homing in on Sector 7's bait! Shit, humanity! "If these beings knew enough to simulate the Allspark's resonant energy singature, it's likely they know where the actual Allspark is," Blackout decides, after shooting down a helicopter to take the place of and then blowing up a couple of planes that objected. The Decepticons decide to LOOK LIKE they are pursuing Bee, but cunningly NOT KILL HIM until he leads them to the Allspark. "And hey, even if he turns out to be as in the dark as we are, we can still eviscerate him!" Starscream points out, very cheerfully. "The road keeps winding, and I get just a little closer..." Bumblebee's radio crackles mournfully. Earth is a sucky vacation spot.

By the time the movie rolls around their planet is dead and they just want to stop Earth, where the Spark landed, from getting embroiled in the same war. They go find Sam because he has some links to the Allspark's location, and his not!girlfriend Mikaela tags along. This is all Bumblebee's job, and he makes friends with the kids, and is their awesome transportative vehicle who plays dumb music at them. He saves their lives! He gets captured and tortured by the government! He helps them get the Allspark away again! He gets his legs blown off by Decepticons! He KILLS DEVASTATOR IN THE FACE. Then he asks to stay with his humans, after Megatron is dead. He's kind of a hero, but he'll never admit it. And he likes humanity despite what they've done to him. This is mostly because of teenagers.

In DDD, he talks to Blackout a little, is notably Not Attacked by him at one point, and helps him out when he becomes human. He still hates Frenzy and Scorponok and Megatron.  He meets Cheetor who is from the past of the future of HIS alternate future, which is confusing! But he likes Cheetor. He also meets his alternate reality self from TF Animated, who he is not sure he likes, and TF Animated Optimus Prime, who he likes but is freaked out by, because it is not HIS Optimus Prime. He hangs out with Sam and Mikaela a great deal. He keeps an eye on people, but his only other notable acquaintence is Lloyd, who he thinks is a nice kid.

That was very disorganized. Sorry, Blackout-mun. D:
