Bumblebee followed Sam towards an industrial area, not realizing that the Decepticon Barricade was stalking the boy, intent on finding glasses belonging to Sam's ancestor, which Sam had been auctioning on eBay.

Frightened and confused, Sam rode away from what he dubbed "Satan's Camaro", ending up in the city and encountering Mikaela in front of a Burger King. The next day, Bumblebee drove back to the Witwicky house sometime after Sam had been bailed out by his dad. Bumblebee came to Sam's aid, scaring off the dogs, but had to escape when the police (whom Sam had previously summoned when Bumblebee drove away from his house) arrived to arrest Sam for breaking into the junkyard. Unknown to him, Sam had seen his robot form and run off, and was now being being pursued by the junkyard's two guard dogs. Unwittingly leading his human owner to a junkyard, Bumblebee transformed and activated his communications beacon, requesting assistance from Optimus Prime and the other Autobots. Later that night, Bumblebee drove off by himself with Sam in hot pursuit, believing it to be a car theft. After she left, Sam quietly enthused that he loved his car. Arriving at Mikaela's house, Sam advanced a step towards her by stating that he didn't believe her to be shallow at all, that there was "more than meets the eye" with her. Trying to help as much as he could, Bumblebee allowed Sam to start up his engine as she walked away, this time playing "Baby, Come Back". Mikaela attempted to fix Bumblebee with her mechanical know-how, only to leave after Sam asked her why she tolerated jerks like her ex-boyfriend.

Not knowing his car has a mind of its own, Sam misinterpreted this as a breakdown. As the two awkwardly chatted, Bumblebee suddenly turned off his engine when they neared a romantic spot overlooking the city, this time playing "Sexual Healing" and "I Feel Good". Playing "Drive" on his radio, Bumblebee inspired Sam to kick Miles out and drive Mikaela home. Observing the exchange of thinly veiled insults between Sam and the football jocks, Bumblebee decided to help out Sam when the boy noticed Mikaela Banes walking home after a falling-out with her now ex-boyfriend. The next day, Sam and his friend Miles Lancaster drove Bumblebee down to the lake in a misguided attempt to impress the popular girls at a party.

To prevent Sam from having to choose another car, he used a high-frequency sound wave to blow out the windows of every other car in the lot, leaving Bobby Bolivia with no choice but to sell Bumblebee to the Witwickys. Following them to the lot, Bumblebee quietly placed himself among the other cars. After doing so with the help of his genealogy project, Sam rode with his father to a car lot. Sam's father promised his son a car if Sam paid half of the money and achieved three A's in school. He befriended the young Edmund Burton, but as the decades passed, Bumblebee would not come to remember World War II as a particularly noteworthy conflict.īumblebee, having made his way to a second-rate car dealership, became Sam Witwicky's first car. After the AllSpark left Cybertron, the Autobots left their home to search for it.īumblebee arrived on Earth some time before the outbreak of the second World War, and alongside Hot Rod, they fought alongside a military unit in the war against the Nazis, taking up the codename ZB-7. At some point, Bumblebee went through a rebellious phase, which Optimus would recall. He is also partnered with the Dinobot Strafe, and is brothers-in-arms with fellow Autobot Hot Rod.īumblebee was a young Autobot scout, who fought during the Cybertronian War alongside his "brother in arms", Hot Rod. He is also known as N.B.E.-02 and has operated under the codenames ZB-7, Goldwheels and B-127. 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.īecause Megatron took his voice box, Bumblebee unfortunately 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's 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. "Sting like a bee."- Bumblebee after he shot Quintessaīumblebee is one of Optimus Prime's most trusted lieutenants.
