-Character Info-
Name: Bumblebee
Age (or human equivalent): 14-17 yrs, adolescent teen
Gender (or human equivalent): Maleish
Species: Cybertronian
Faction: Autobot
Occupation/Specialization: Scout-bot/recon
Appearance/Altmode: The scout-bot’s namesake derives ostensibly from the physical configuration of his protoform – candy yellow armor plating, black cybernetic undermesh, and the peculiar arrangement of his alt-form’s doors set on his back. Like insect wings. Bee’s model is a tougher, stockier design, heavily armored through the chest and shoulders where the hood, headlights, and bumper of his alt-form have been repurposed into the chest plate over his sparkchamber and upper body. Proportionally Bee’s pretty short. His helm design, lack of regular facial features, door-wing, frame-design, tend to give him away as a class of insect-frame.
Personality: Bumblebee is exceptionally loyal and dedicated to both his team and the Autobot cause. He’s eager to prove himself to Optimus, willing to sacrifice everything to win this war, and he knows how to be ruthless when it comes to survival. That said, Bee had grown up a child-soldier so he’s good at keeping the battlefield on the battlefield and his down time to himself. When he gets to be childish he does so with gusto and very little embarrassment. Cartoons and video games! Bee is unflaggingly cheerful but he tends to use his cheer to hide the fact there is a lot more broke about him that his voice.
Likes: cartoons, video games, human games, playing, cheating
Dislikes: people not understanding him, being alone, holding still
History: Bumblebee was sparked as a part of a engineering hive-mind during the war, a swarm-gestalt named Cimex. The Cimex cohort worked mostly doing battle-field engineering, thought single units like Bumblebee were often sent out as scouts and spies, uploading data immediately from their position back to their cohort mates. At some point during the war, Megatron gave an order that militant Autobot gestalts were to be targeted specifically, resulting in many of the military contracted gestalts to leave or go Neutral. Cimex finished their last tour and did not renew their military contract, leaving instead for non-combat zones.
They were eradicated in an orbital strike. Bee survived because he'd been chosen to stay and fight at the battle of Tygar Pax in a last mission, wrapping up a scouting assignment to do with the launch of the All-Spark. He was captured by Megatron during the chaos. Losing his gestalt and his voice box at Tygar Pax did a real number on the Cimex-bot and he was forced to adjust to life without his cohort. He took on the name Bumblebee.
Bee joined team Prime shortly before the fall of Cybertron to join Optimus on his journey to Earth. He was the initial scout sent in to gather intell on planet Earth before the rest of the team made landfall so he’s been there the longest and had more time to go… native, shall we say. He’s fond of human video games and cartoons and Earthlings themselves have become familiar and well-liked by the scout-bot. The other Autobots have since then joined him on Earth to prevent Decepticon attacks against the indigenous population… several of which they have rather accidentally befriended.
Bee’s voice processor was damaged badly during the assault on Tygar Pax and since then has limited his verbal communications to a basic dialect of Cybertronian that, thus far, only other Cybertronians and Raf can understand.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Special Skills Bee was originally part of the Cimex gestalt, meaning a kind of build-bot hive-mind. (Thus, the name: Bumblebee.) They all died during the war and Bee had to adapt to autonomous operation. Few bots but his long-time teammates know what he used to be. Gestalts share thoughts and experiences and have a frequency link between their sparks so their minds are always connected to eachother. They feel the deaths of their cohort siblings.
Extra Info: . The chirping blurting language Bumblebee speaks in is called Cybertronian Basic – is a very straightforward simple language that tends to sound ‘stupid’ or ‘glitched’ because bots with damaged processors sometimes speak in Basic. Bee resents it when mechs assume his processor is damaged when it’s really only his voicebox.

Strengths:
- Adaptable – Bee is very fast on his feet and a very fast thinker
- Knows His Stuff – There isn’t a better scout this side of the Autobots, he’s worked recon and intelligence since the start of the war.
- Fisticuffs – Hand-to-hand combat skills are pretty decent. He knows where to hit to make it count and he speedy.
Weaknesses:
- Implusive – Bee tends to rush into things on instinct and sometimes that costs him.
- Scrapper – While he is tough for his size, Bee is still much smaller than most Decepticons, lighter, and weaker. He was originally built small and fast and he has to fight smart to keep in one piece.
- Young – Older and more experienced fighters will generally outpace him. He scouts well alone, but needs a team to back him in combat.
- Damaged – Bee will not bring it up, but he doesn't actually know how to be just one robot. Ratchet is one of the few mechs that know's how horrific it was for Bee before he came back from the brink. Bee is scared of more than he lets on.
