videos the Transformers franchise has
gone through numerous iterations from
cartoons to comics to live-action movies
across every version certain faces have
become mainstays and the Autobots Scout
bumblebee is no exception the diminutive
warrior first appeared in the very first
wave of transformers toys in media a
repackaged version of a Japanese toy
from the micro change line they were
known as bumblebee and Megatron and
Soundwave at that point they were
microcar gun robo and cassette man one
of the smallest toys in the line
bumblebee transformed from a pudgy
little robot into a yellow VW Beetle
when bumblebee first appeared on the
Transformers cartoon he was
characterized as the Autobot scout using
his small size and fuel efficiency to
find fuel sources for his comrades iFit
optimus prime will be glad to see us
after the Autobots and Decepticons
arrived on earth and bumblebee got his
Volkswagen vehicle mode he quickly made
friends with the Autobots human Ally
spike just leave the driving to me this
role as the best buddy to the human lead
would follow bumblebee through his many
incarnations after all the idea of a
cool robot who can be your best pal is a
pretty appealing one over time many of
the classic characters were phased out
in order to shine a spotlight on new
characters with new toys
bumblebee however continued to make
appearances in the cartoon throughout
its later years eventually he was even
rebuilt into a new form after being
critically damaged
this new paintjob gone beyond just plain
old bumblebee after this he changed his
name to gold-bug to reflect his new look
bumblebee was largely absent from
Transformers media throughout the 90s
and early 2000s with shows like
transformers Armada replacing him with a
brash warrior hotshot who was similarly
young and yellow but not really the same
character be eventually returned to
prominence in 2007 when Michael Bay’s
first live-action Transformers movie hit
screens but this wasn’t your dad’s
bumblebee the new version of the
character was a battle-hardened Autobot
warrior one rendered mute after his
voice modulator was damaged instead of
speaking this bumblebee would use music
and audio clips to communicate he still
had moments of light-hearted innocence
but the eager young cadet of the classic
cartoon was gone replaced by a powerful
warrior more than ready to throw down
with the Decepticons his alternate mode
was even changed from the puffy
Volkswagen to a rough-and-tumble
Chevrolet Camaro in the live-action
movies bumblebee was sent to earth to
find and protect Sam the holder of a
pair of unique classes that contained
the location of the Allspark an ancient
Cybertronian artifact like his
old-school counterpart bumblebee formed
a close bond with his new human ally and
the two remained inseparable for the
three initial films subsequent versions
of bubble B have largely stuck to one
mold or the other Transformers Animated
had a version of the character largely
modeled after the classic cartoon with a
fully voiced bumblebee acting as the
Autobots eager junior cadet can all Gees
do that meanwhile the Transformers Prime
cartoon stuck to the mute warrior
template laid down by the movies no
problem the Transformers franchise is
all about change but the more things
change the more they stay the same and
the continued presence of this fan
favorite character proves that it isn’t
always a bad thing now I’m good thanks
