During 'The Great War', Bumblebee joined the Autobots where he fought alongside Optimus Prime and several other comrades during the centuries-old skirmish.Īt an unknown point, Bumblebee took part in an operation to track down Overload, a Decepticon spy whom had managed to destroy a selection of Autobot installations. In Battlegrounds, Part 2, after Bumblebee and his team, along with a revived Optimus Prime, seemingly defeated Megatronus, Bumblebee found a phrase that impressed everyone.īumblebee was born as one of the last generation to be created from the Well of Allsparks after it had ceased producing life. On some occasions, Bumblebee would mess up on his battle cries, which would make his team laugh or not impressed. Bumblebee takes leadership in his new team to hunt down the Decepticon fugitives on Earth. A dinobot named Grimlock, who was a prisoner on the ship, teams up with them as well as humans Denny Clay and his son Russell. Years after the war finished, Bumblebee became a high ranking police officer, but was still praised as a war hero, with a partner police cadet Strongarm, but he began to see visions of Optimus leading him back to Earth with Strongarm, street punk Sideswipe and Mini-Con Fixit where they discover a crashed Decepticon ship with numerous fugitives at large. When the Sparks burst from the Well, the team watched as the sparks fly out to bring life to their home again, including Optimus's own spark. Optimus gave one last smile to them before going into the Core. Before Optimus became one with Primus, Bumblebee promised Optimus that they will keep the peace in his memory before Optimus left.
Optimus returned and defeated Unicron with the help of his team. With Optimus missing in action at the time and Ultra Magnus badly wounded, Bumblebee became temporary leader of the Autobots. However, Megatron was revived by Unicron shortly after, who used his body as a vessel to attack Cybertron. At the end of the war, Bumblebee was the one to kill Megatron, the very same Transformer who took away his voice since the war. Bumblebee went with Optimus, Bulkhead and Ratchet to Earth in an attempt to stop the Decepticons from draining the planet's energy and taking it over. Bumblebee was a very important member of Optimus's team during the Great War and was with Optimus for the longest out of any Autobot, excluding Ratchet. Bumblebee is an Autobot warrior and the former scout of Team Prime, as well as the former guardian of his human friend, Raf Esquivel.
